Lavender Luster

    Lavender has increasingly become one of my all time favorite scents.It's light, sweet, natural scent makes me feel like a flower child dancing in a hidden forest...


 
The wonderful health benefits of lavender:
great remedy to soothe sore muscles
relax your nerves/tension/anxiety/headaches
induce sleep and restlessness
perfect for skin because of its antiseptic/anti-fungal properties
heals burns and wounds
even repels insects!
 
     I use lavender essential oil for aromatherapy to keep me relaxed. I also like to mix dried lavender flowers when I make herbal salt baths. Have trouble sleeping? Set a little bowl with lavender flowers/oil on your nightstand and soon you'll be riding dream waves. And for those road ragers out there I would suggest storing a little bag with lavender flowers in your car for the days when you're in terrible endless traffic!
Here are a few of my favorite lavender goods:

      
Aura Cacia Lavender Essential Oil



Incense Sticks
you can never have too many!
Dr. Bronner's Hemp Lavender Pure-Castile Soap
This one is a new purchase and it is incredible. I bought the tiny $1 samples at the health food store so I'll have to go back to buy a larger one. Not only does this use organic essential oils but it's also an 18 in 1 ! Can you even think of 18 uses for it ?? Definitely magical.


Tom's of Maine Natural Deodorant Stick, Aluminum Free

The color is so inspiring! Lavender cookies and lemonade? yes please and thank you!



I can sense lavender hair in the near future...


Have a beautiful day xo

Be Cute, Be Kawaii

    How do you like my new phone cover? Kawaii ne? 





     I am absolutely in love with my new phone cover. It's sparkly, pink, skulls and sweets and total kawaii cuteness. Did I mention it was made by me? 


     I've always been into Japanese street fashion, Gothic Lolita and everything kawaii. It is pretty amazing how Japanese girls can creatively express themselves and break all the fashion rules while still looking fabulous...
