We never thought we were the kind of girls who could pull off the whole head scarf thing. That is, until we discovered L. Erickson’s 100% silk headwraps.
Featuring fun floral prints, bold colors and funky patterns, L. Erickson’s headwraps are the perfect beach and/or poolside accessory. And if you know a woman who’s experiencing a loss or thinning of hair as a result of illness or treatment, let the good peeps at L. Erickson know, and they’ll send her a free scarf.
We’ve always been intrigued by acupuncture, but too scared to try it. The idea of needles sticking out of skin sends blood rushing to our head. Whew… we need to lie down…. on one of these StyleWellnes organic acumats.
Acumats (acupressure mats/spike mats) have been used for thousands of years for relaxation exercises, meditation and yoga, or healing the body from emotional, physical and mental blockages. We’re into that. And no needles? Sold.
Remember “paint-by-numbers”? We’ll never forget the fun of coating each numbered space with precision, as our masterpiece (often a My Little Pony print) revealed itself.
British designer Jenny Wilkinson creates a whimsical take on traditional wallpaper designs with interactive wall coverings inspired by the craft we loved as kids. Time consuming, perhaps, but totally worth the effort!
Okay, here goes: “Ahhh.” We’ve been waiting to exhale for 7 months. But after a few consecutive days of sun and 70-plus degree weather, we finally feel spring has officially sprung.
What better way to celebrate? Shave our legs and pick up these adorable Lily Pulitzer Buttercup Seersucker Shorts from Mabel and Zora. But hurry. They’re flying off the racks!
We’ve always been all about the accessories. It’s the quickest and easiest way to add a little something extra to your outfit that takes it from “cute” to “Vogue-fashion-pages-worthy.”
More recently, we’ve been obsessed with the scarf. That’s why we picked up one for us and another for our dear young mom for Mother’s Day. EcoVibe Apparel has soft spring scarves from EMU made from fine Merino wool, on sale all week for 15% off in the store or online with coupon code LOVEMOM. It completes us!
We fully embrace our geekdom. We were the nerdy girl who rocked the bottle-cap glasses and sat in the front row during science class. So when we saw these fun throw pillows from Yellow Bug Boutique, our inner geek was awakened!
We love how it combines our two favorite things: wine and school… though we’re pretty sure you wouldn’t want to actually drink tungsten, iodine and neon. And yes, we know what the elements mean (nerd alert!).
We have lackluster, barely-there lashes. We considered trying those RX lash growing treatments but feared we’d be the 1% that had a forest of hair growing out of our nose instead of our eyes. Then we discovered 29 Cosmetics, D’Vine Mascara which is like a vitamin bomb for the lashes. A volumizing, lengthening and curling formula all in one that nourishes the lashes throughout the day with Grape Seed Age Protecting™ formula and rose.
Check out the entire wholesome line created by Lydia Mondavi in the Napa Valley. You’ll definitely find something to bat your eyes at.
Not so long ago we decided that if we tried we could make really amazing jewelry. So one day we did try and discovered that not only are we delusional, we make really ugly jewelry. But at least we still have great taste which we found in Marti Agassi’s line that combines vintage elements, leather, and mixed metals with breathtaking results. Her tag line: Soulful Adornments to Inspire.
And they totally inspire us [to buy them all and adorn ourselves!] Available at Spin Boutique or online.
Our biggest craving is peanut butter. When we went off to college, we brought a Costco size jar of Skippy, and two weeks later, as we scraped the bottom, couldn’t fathom how we gained all this weight. Must be the beer.
Now we found our new love, Wild Squirrel Nut Butter, created by two University of Oregon students, with flavors like Honey Pretzel and Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter. Their story is inspiring. (They’ve already been in Oprah!)
We are obsessed with designer Jill Michael’s bracelets. The only foreseeable problem is that we can’t get enough. She mixes semi-precious stones, gold and silver to create one of the most wearable jewelry lines we’ve found. We collect them and have them exotically stacked down our wrist.
Now we can satisfy our Jill Michael addiction at her trunk show at E.G. Page in Lake Oswego all next weekend, and Jill will be there from 10-1 on Saturday, May 5th. (Pssst, and if you buy 6 bracelets, you get one free while supplies last.)
