I so adore a beautiful subscription box that transports me somewhere else! I so love giving subscription boxes as gifts too because they are truly the gift that just keeps on giving. Discovering a single item that truly encompasses how much you care can be quite difficult. Whether it’s for their birthday or a holiday or it’s a simple token of gratitude, one way to guarantee you’re giving them something they’ll enjoy is by presenting them with a gift that keeps on giving. Translation: Invest in a themed subscription box they can be excited about for months to come. And imagine a subscription box that transports you to Provence without even leaving your own sofa! I am all for someone bringing Provence to my doorstep every season. What about you?!

Returning to my senses with Osmia Organics. I love this natural skincare hand-crafted in the Colorado mountains!
A few faves:
Lavender Shea Soap- This lavender soap was created for our founder's friend, Alan, who wanted a very simple bar of soap - "without any stuff in it". We use spinach powder and French green clay to give a soft green hue, but the bar is very smooth and untextured in your hands. The beautifully subtle lavender smell comes from organic, Bulgarian lavender and balsam of Peru.
Swapped out my regular face spritz for a lovely microbiome mist recently!
The Hydrating Pre+Probiotic Facial Mist from Happy 2nd Birthday is rich in antioxidants, prebiotics, and probiotics. This multitasker can be used throughout the day to restore radiance, soothe sensitive skin, and boost absorption of other skincare and makeup products plus
it delivers refreshing hydration and balances your skin microbiome!
I get so many questions about my hair….seriously! My hair posts are my most read blogs STILL to this day. You all are VERY interested in these locks.
This is the first time in a super long time I have not had extensions and if I am honest, there are days I wonder what organs I can sell to get them back in. They are truly such an expense and truly so time consuming though so I am focusing on the positives—more money in my account and more time in my life .

A beautiful moment with “Goldie Red” (The Gucci Red) from Gucci Beauty!
Gucci Beauty presents Rouge De Beauté Brillant, a special lip color set apart by unique benefits. Serving as an in-between for a sheer and satin lipstick, the hybrid long-lasting dual-action formula delivers 24 hours of moisture and a beautifully pigmented shine. Formulated with nourishing and antioxidant ingredients, the creamy texture highlights and preserves the natural beauty of the mouth, so lips look fuller and plumped to perfection. A new vintage shape and design inspired by vintage brooches bears witness once again to the Creative Director’s passion for collectable objects of desire. Obsessed!
Beachy summer hair conjures up visions of sun-kissed highlights and bouncy, shiny waves- doesn’t it?! ( Brigitte Bardot -Saint Tropez - that’s where my head goes! ) But the reality of the harsh unapologetic sun, humid air, and salty or chlorinated swims can mean that, come August, one feels less mermaid-like than she imagined. Thankfully, all is not lost though!

Plants require patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them. They please my eye and please my soul and challenge my patience.. and I love seeing them thrive and grow.
I love seeing myself and GFY grow too but have been in a constant state of languishing . But I am trying to get back to flourishing . I know that there are more things I can be doing to better serve my followers so I have finally decided to be active on the LikeToKnowIt platform! I get messages everyday from you guys about how much you miss Shop Sam’s Closet - and this is pretty much like having my own “boutique” again .
Getting lost in CINNAMON · ALLSPICE · CLOVE · EUCALYPTUS today .I can always count on Amass Botanics for a brief sensory ritual and I so enjoy this escape to candle-lit bistros, cabin getaways, and the bustling markets of Marrakesh. Y’all must try their Four Thieves Soap right away .

Kicking June off with a dapper Father’s Day gift idea for you //
A great way for a guy to express his individuality is with facial hair. ( love a man with a beard) And Rodge has really discovered the right beard style for his face shape that make him look and feel his very best. Keeping it well-groomed maintain that feeling too!
There’s nothing discrete about excessive armpit sweating. And with the obvious wet or sweat-stained clothing and worrisome body odor, it’s easy to feel uncomfortable, frustrated, and embarrassed.
Excessive armpit sweating is a condition known as axillary hyperhidrosis, and more people deal with this condition than you think. According to St. Louis University, 2.8% of Americans are living with hyperhidrosis to some degree.
I happen to fall into this category and if you have followed me for a long time, you know I have tried anything and everything to not sweat as much anymore excluding underarm botox.

Do you ever have the longest most hectic day working and want nothing more than a relaxing spa facial and a hot bath?! The older I get the more I greatly appreciate a solid skincare routine that both works and feels like pampering! I definitely spend more time on my routine at night, where it can feel like more of a ritual or even a meditation. Apparently the beautiful people over at ELEMIS® heard me because they sent me their line of best sellers and I am SO impressed! But why would I expect anything less from this innovative and global British skincare brand with over 30 years of expertise.

Smells like RELAXATION
Loving these gloomy spring rainy days even though my hair is not. 😆 But my sleep has been soo very blissful the last few nights. The sound of rain pouring down from the window and this dreamy lotion from Violets Are Blue has me feeling super calm and centered. This delightful face and body lotion transports me to the lavender fields of Provence.
