Fragrance Giveaway

If you have been reading my blog for awhile then you surely know about my intense love for

the quaint island of Nantucket.  One of my favorite parts of summering on Nantucket is visiting, 

Nantucket Natural Oils, with my daughter and creating a custom fragrance.

The perfumes are made with natural oils and oils alone.  Department store perfumes contain up to 

94% alcohol which is the culprit for many adverse reactions such as sneezing, headaches and allergies.  Being that I am a long term migraine sufferer, this is the perfect solution.  

They can also recreate your favorite department store scent without the harsh ingredients.
Nantucket Natural Oils graciously offered to host a giveaway for one lucky winner to receive a custom scent created by yours truly.  It is a tropical blend of coconut and mango and is proven to head off the winter blahs.  I receive countless compliments each time I wear it and I just know you will love it too!
I like to describe it as vacation in a bottle.

Rules of entry:
This giveaway is open to readers world wide.

A Stroll through Love

It all begins with a chance meeting and a first date with that someone who catches your

eye and makes your heart go pitter patter.

A single date turns into mulitple dates.  An engagement happens.

Sure enough after much planning a wedding ensues....

Followed by a  romantic honeymoon getaway. 

The first home is purchased.

A pet becomes a beloved member of your new family.

Followed by children who are spitting images of our adult selves.

Your kids grow up, find love and have their own wedding ceremony.

Leaving us to wonder how they grew up so fast.

Then we are showered with Grandchildren to spoil.

The golden years follow and if we are lucky we still have our better

half to hold our hand through the latter part of life.

This is how it's supposed to go.  My husband and I reversed a few steps here and there.  We didn't have a huge wedding or a grand honeymoon.  Our children came before our first house.  With that said... I wouldn't change a thing.
Even if your love story is traditional in every sense of the word, these would just be the highlights of your life as a couple.  There are bound to be difficulties in any long term relationship.  Illnesses, loss, conflicts.  Trials that will test and strenghten the relationship.
How wonderful if at the end of our stroll we still have that special someone walking next  to us.

Happy Valentine's Day!
  Hope you are celebrating the many joys of love today whether it be with a soul mate, a parent, a child or a friend.  xoxo

Sur la table Giveaway!

My new favorite store is Sur la table.  They recently opened one near by... oh, happy, happy discovery!  Call me crazy, but seeing all of the beautiful colors makes me want to redo my kitchen.  Oh, a purple kitchen would be so cool.   Then I see citrus colors and think, "I could so rock that."  Who does that?  Does seeing a plastic mixing bowl make you want to redo an entire room?!
I want to share my newest obsession with you, (my extended family),  in the form of a $50 gift card to Sur la table!
