Gifts Of Beauty For Any Woman

Saturdays At Shop This: Calm In The Chaos

Today's inspiration comes from an article in Vogue entitled "Donna Karan Is Looking for “the Calm in the Chaos.” I have always admired the designer. Now I do even more.  She talks about the changing fashion industry, "conscious consumerism," and finding calm in our world today. It's good. I think that we all need to calm down a little bit.  So today's links will hopefully help you to do
 just that.

Donna Karan's  own website, Urban Zen is so beautiful. It's where Donna's philanthropy meets commerce. You owe yourself a visit.  It's calming, and I love the cozy comfort collection. Actually everything is very Zen. By the way, you can save 30% on DonnaKaran.com and DKNY this weekend.

Metabolizing Difficult Emotions

I think we are all feeling a bit of collective grief and anxiety. This video with New York Times best selling author, Glennon Doyle and goop creator, Gwyneth Paltrow, was helpful to me.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Calming Lavender Essential Oil

This versatile essential oil is known for its' many  benefits, including supporting feelings of relaxation. I put a couple drops in the bath water, on my pillow, and my temples before bed. If you are having trouble sleeping, this may help. I get mine from Dr. Axe

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Have you tried any CBD products? I have not. But I found the brand Haoma at Neiman Marcus. I am intrigued. Their philosophy is inspired by the divine plant that shares its name, HAOMA. Their products feature adaptogenic plant ingredients and Earth-based healing modalities. The Calming Temple Balm sounds promising for times 

like these. 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Aromatherapy: So many studies have been done on the benefits of aroma. Besides just smelling good, certain scents are calming and relaxing. Enter the Nest Fragrance Scent Pura Smart Home Fragrance Diffuser. It will scent your home (or Mom's)  with calming Bamboo & Grapefruit.  How lovely!

52 Lists for Calm: Journaling Inspiration for Soothing Anxiety and Creating a Peaceful Life: 

Writing about your feelings, including gratitude, helps so much. This less than $10 book makes a nice gift to yourself or someone you care about.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

All of this stress and anxiety shows up on our skin. Tea tree oil has a natural calming effect on the skin. I use it all of the time. Just found this organic brand at Nordstrom. B. Well Organic + Australian 100% Tea Tree Oil. It's all natural and will help to combat breakouts, and soothe dryness

 and irritation.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Baby Shusher: Babies and dogs are innately able to pick up on human emotions. If you are not calm, neither will your baby or pet be.  This little machine helps soothe your fussy baby by "engaging their natural calming reflex. Utilizing an ancient but doctor tested technique, it makes a rhythmic shushing sound that lulls your 

baby to sleep." Brilliant!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Calming Apps For Kids: If you have been in isolation with the kids, I think you need these by now.

Maybe you are like me and have cried a river since the Coronavirus Crisis began.  We will feel calmer if we choose to see the beauty that is happening, as opposed to the death and sadness. Let's concentrate on the appreciation the world is showing our front line healthcare workers. The flickering lights, applause, and sound of music of the citizens of the world is a

 beautiful thing!

All The Fall Feels

( Via:  My Pinterest Board }

At 59 degrees this morning, Mother Nature has served up a perfect Fall day in Chicago. We begin the "Shop This" household's favorite season. It's time to turn the page, and get excited about cocoa and cashmere, and coats and candles. This post features all of the feels we love about Fall. Enjoy!

Karma Travel Scarf
If you aren't a plaid person, this ombre use of colors just may be your style. It's an unexpected use of soft Fall-ish colors. And the weight is the perfect light layer as we transition to the 
new season.

Leather Coolers
Fall is leather weather - inside and out. It's also all about football and tailgating. Do it with style with these luxe leather coolers.

How To Host An Autumn Dinner Party

One Kings Lane

Nahdine Mules
Walk into Fall with the best transitional shoes. Not quite a boot, and definitely not a sandal.....they are the perfect pair for all of your fall outfits.
Club Monaco

Your Fall Nail Color
Every Fall I try a new color as my "go to" for manicures. Lucky for me neutrals never go out of style, but they are particularly in this autumn. Essie's newest shade, "Easily Suede," is a warm grey with taupe undertones. This is what I am trying for this weeks' mani.
Ulta Beauty

A Luxe Coat
A good coat is a wardrobe changer, and a forever piece. The outerwear edit at Intermix is one of the best. You'll find chic coats and all of the accessories to wear with them. Click the image or the below link to start shopping.

Pumpkin Chai Home Fragrance & Candles
Oh the scents of Fall! Aren't they just the best? Now that Henri Bendel is gone, I am on the hunt for new candles. Nest makes luxury scents that burn clean and last long. The Pumpkin Chai scent is fab! It's a mix of wild pumpkin, spicy chai, cardamon, ginger, and cinnamon.
