The Beauty of Copper

Copper was the ancient Egyptian symbol for eternal youth. Fast forward to 2015 - and copper is still a beauty miracle! Copper's natural anti-aging benefits include boosting elasticity and collagen. Added to beauty products, it can also reduce fine lines and increase brightness. Here are a few products to  try, so you can see the power of copper!

In Love with My Home

Are you in love with your home? Whether you live in a mansion or a tiny apartment, being in love with your home is really about the little things.  Good books, soft blankets, fresh flowers, glowing candles...
Loving your home is at the root of one of my favorite books, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo. In a nutshell, it's a guide to decluttering but it's also a manual for loving your home. You basically decide which items "spark joy" and throw away the rest. You clear the clutter, calm your mind and love your home...
