Pottery Barn Books



I just got married recently. Among the items I had on my online wedding registry were books from Pottery Barn. I'm so so happy that my friend got them for us. The flat we live in now has a sort of Pottery Barn feel. We're now beginning to plan out building our dream house in Westgrove, and I want the same feel. Sort of modern country, and cozy. So these books came at the perfect time. They're such a joy to browse! I currently have the set that came with the books on Living Rooms, Bedrooms and Bathrooms. Also got the Outdoor Spaces book. Found out Amazon also has Pottery Barn books on Dining Rooms, Working Spaces, Kids Rooms, and Storage and Display. I'm working on getting those books too. I hope they have one for Kitchens.

You can find them on www.amazon.com (search for Pottery Barn books) or on www.potterybarn.com

Giraffe Print Diaper Bags



My friends recently ordered this fashionable diaper bag as a gift. I've been on an animal print phase the past 2 yrs (shoes, bags, you name it), so this of course caught my interest. I don't have any kids yet, but I've bookmarked it on my computer in case I do have babies in the future. I'm definitely getting this bag for myself! It's available on Amazon (see link below). Aside from the tote version, it also comes in messenger and hobo styles. So cool!

Bach Flower Remedies




I was introduced to these 10 yrs ago through my Mom's acupuncturist. She recommended it to me, to help relieve stress from work etc. Basically they're a range of liquids produced from a variety of flowers. You take them via a dropper - you place a drop or two on your tongue. You can take a single kind or a variety of flowers, depending on what you're trying to relieve in yourself. I recall I did a combination then that addressed stress from work, health and my love life (or non-existent one at that time ;) And it really worked! It really made me feel so much better. I used to get them from my Mom's acupuncturist. But when when she migrated abroad, I had to start getting them online. I eventually stopped taking them (I guess I felt so well already, I didn't feel a need for any relief anymore). I recently found them though again when I was travelling in Europe a few months ago. I found a spray version (you spritz it into your mouth), which seemed pretty handy, so I got one. I got the all around version one which is a mix of several flowers. It's called the Bach Rescue Remedy. Came in very handy as I was pretty stressed then with our upcoming wedding, work etc.
