{I received these items for the purposes of use and review. All opinions expressed are my own. Enjoy! :)} Bees are headlining the news these days.

Refreshing Review: The new Aqua Réotier line from L’occitane
{I received these items for review, and I'm so glad that I did. All opinions expressed are my own...enjoy!} I had my first experience with L'occitane about three years ago.

Our imperfections make us unique
I really enjoy looking at smokey quartz, its color just fascinates me. However, do you know what I find even more fascinating? It's the fact that this wouldn't have the color that it has if it was just pure quartz. Like the article mentions below, it is because of the impurities, inclusions, and/or radiation that this gem looks as beautiful as it does. Smokey quartz owes its rich color to its......imperfections. That speaks to me. The "quirks" of this gem make it disntictive and stand out. My quirks do the same for me, your quirks do the same for you. We STAND ... Continue Reading...
