Welcome to the season of passion!
What a great time for checking in and turning on your creativity. And speaking of creative websites, my favorite hot spot right now is a fantastic website called www.etsy.com. Etsy is a place for all things handmade… kind of like an 'ebay' for all handmade products. Be sure to check out the fresh handmade soap called mango de methe, a great herbal base with mango, peppermint and jojoba...so good you want to take a lick -- and it smells gorgeous! |

Another great gift idea would be the Jesse B collection of bottle bags, handmade fabric bags to dress up a bottle of wine or champagne, in style. What a great hostess gift!!
Also check out the Olivine Crystal Ring… European inspired and made from gorgeous swarovski beads..a must have for spring!! |
February is all about the heart, and not just the romantic side. The month of love is also the time to check in and take care of our hearts too. Cardiovascular disease is women's No. 1 killer and heart disease claims more women's lives than the next seven causes of death combined! Help yourself and your loved ones by logging onto www.AmericanHeart.org to join the Go Red For Women movement. Go Red gives women the power to significantly reduce their risks of heart disease and live a long, healthy life. Also, when you shop Go Red, some of the proceeds benefit the American Heart Association. So shop well, live well and put your hand over your heart to make a promise to be heart healthy!

Tea Party Time
Celestial Seasonings is also joining in the fight to raise awareness and research dollars for Women's Heart Disease issues. They have created two new teas, both made with black tea and other all-natural, heart-healthy ingredients.
Try Black Cherry Pomegranate -- Ruby-red pomegranates and tangy hibiscus liven up our black tea, while black cherries and rooibos add sweetness.
Vanilla Rose Decaf -- Creamy vanilla and fragrant rose add a touch of romance to naturally decaffeinated black tea, caffeine-free rooibos, and tangy hibiscus.
The packaging for these teas features a Red Dress-the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness and provides educational information about women's risk of heart disease. |
