Light Up Your Summer: Outdoor Lighting

Self Care During Tough Times

It's impossible not to be affected by the Los Angeles Wildfires. I have been particularly down.  Today I realized why. My own parents lost their home and 3 children in a fire. This was 10 months before I was born.  It all seems too real. I have needed a little self care. God knows that the fire victims do, and maybe you, too. These products will help.

Take a good soak.....

Coconut Milk Bath Soak

I swear, there's nothing that a good soak in a tub can't cure.  Here's a product that is actually good for us. It's 100% clean and the main ingredient, Coconut, is so nourishing to the skin. It's lovely. 

Herbivore

Brush it off.....

Super Charge Copper Body Brush

I do dry brushing, and love the ritual and feeling it gives my skin.  With ion-charged copper bristles, this brush creates negative ions to energize and charge your skin. It's a next level dry brushing tool that exfoliates, reduces the appearance of cellulite, restores your electromagnetic balance, and leaves your skin glowing.  

Higherdose

Stay cool, calm and collected....

Uma Oils Calm Wellness Candle

Deep tranquility can be yours (or theirs) with a flick of a match and this candle. It has been infused with lavender and chamomile. Both essential oils promote relaxation, reduces stress, and soothes the nervous system. 

Revolve

Pay attention to hairy situations....

Red Light Hat

Men need self care, too. But this cute cap is for anyone who is loosing hair. The red lights strengthens hair at the root. There are so many good details about this product, you really need to click the link to get all of the information.

Bergdorf Goodman    Higherdose

Start a daily fashion ritual.....

All Weather Bangles

Imagine all of the jewelry lost in the fires! These are the essence of mindful glamour. The ritual of putting each one on, one at a time, creates an opportunity to set intentions for the day. As one takes them off, it is a time to reflect on gratitude and joy. They are weightless and do not make any noise.  A gift of self care for yourself or others. 

Budha Girl

Self Care For Fur Babies

Easy Does It Foaming Cleanser

This product is so safe, it can be used on every member of the family. If you have ever noticed your pup scratching like crazy following a trip to the groomers, know that it is the toxic shampoo that they use.  This product is gentle and non irritating for everyone. 

One Love Organics

Stress less......

Stress Relief & Self Care Cards

I know that this is easier said than done, and it is okay to get help. These cards are for anyone. They are large and easy to read.

Celebrate Earth Day At ABC Carpet & Home

To celebrate our planet on Earth Day, I am featuring one of my favorite NYC stores, ABC Carpet & Home. The store and their website is fabulous, and filled with inspiration. They believe in makers that create earth-kind objects. In general, their approach to sustainable design supports a healthier planet, home, and individual. Love that!

Get inspired and take yourself shopping at ABC Home

Rugs & Carpets

Let's begin with rugs. They feature in store and online the one of the largest collections of rugs in the world. Alchemy carpets are hand knotted in a fair trade factory in India. Sari silks and wools are upcycled to spin fabric for new rugs.  Every rug is 100% handmade. You just don't find that everywhere. The Essentials Collection is more moderately priced, but also hand made in India. If you are looking for wall to wall carpet, and live in the NY Tristate area, you are in luck, as they are having a 50% off sale! 

Pillows & Cushions

One of my favorite areas in the store. Everything is just so creatively displayed, and of course, handmade. You will just want to plop into a pile of pillows, poufs, and cushions. 

Bedding

Put some love into your sleep sanctuary with non-toxic bedding. These shades of pink are comforting, but you'll find any color that you are looking for. The organic bedding is mindfully handmade in India by local artisans. 

Dining & Entertaining

This department, on the first floor is displayed like a luxurious emporium. A world of coupes, tumblers, cups, carafes, and flutes await you. Not to mention the handcrafted dinnerware made by ceramicists all over the world. The organic shapes and materials are so awesome and appealing. Bonus is that they carry my favorite non-toxic, non-stick Caraway Cookware. 

Furniture

The furniture is all hand crafted from sustainably sourced wood. Choose from custom furnishings and upholstered pieces to vintage one of a kind styles. 

Lighting

A little light here and there, makes all the difference. Their design forward collection is filled with functional works of art.  It's all energy conscious, LED, and made responsibly. From floor to ceiling, these lights are never boring. 

Art & Decor

Featured in this department are fabulous candles with scents designed to bring forth uplifting positivity and calm.  One of a kind vases are handcast inside of balloons. Others are made  in France, and recycled glass bottles are given new life as Phoenician glass sculptured forms.  All of these thoughtful touches make your space a beautiful reflection of yourself.

Jewelry

Jewelry handmade with love. ABC's jewelry  respects exceptional craftsmanship as well as human and environmental rights. Celestial and ethereal, their selection is made from responsibly sourced gemstones and sustainable metals.

 Wellness

"Find a moment, lean into the calm, let go of the thoughts and listen. Your skin and spirit deserve a reprieve." I always linger in this section. It's my kind of heaven. You are instantly calmed by the aromatherapy experience of the non toxic products like "Carry Om Aromatherapy Essence, and 

"Spirit Works Space Essence."

You'll want everything in the Bath and Body department. I found the Alchemist's Kitchen organic CBD balm in fragrances like Lemongrass. The Face Steam and Bath Tea, and all of the intentional objects to aid your well being, are so interesting. 

Natural Beauty

This is another fun department with non toxic natural makeup and skincare. Stocked is olive oil lipstick, Sundays non toxic nail polish, Eve Perez vanilla highlighter, and so many more unique and healthy products.
