Soapy Luxury…


I love to shop!!! But I also love quality items for me and my family.  I love scented soaps too.  Being a twitter addict now, I came across elliaCnaturals soaps, I order a samples and I fell in love.  The soaps are awesome and very luxurious too.  I felt like every shower was a spa experience and scents were awesome too.  My favorites are Glee, Shore, Daydream and Udderly Creamy right now.  The customer service is top notch…

Fall is coming....


My favorite seasons are spring and fall because the weather and for the clothes.  I can’t hardly for the weather to be cooler than now because of the crazy hot summer this year…My favorite accessories are Oeuf necktie and hats, which are made from 100% Alpaca. Please check out 


Oeuf is my favorite for the following reason…
MISSION STATEMENT

When we were kids, whenever our parents dropped us off somewhere like school, our grandparents’ house for the weekend or even summer camp, they always gave us a hug and a kiss and told us to “be good!” as they waved goodbye.

As kids we’re very literal and knew this meant…don’t cut your sister’s hair, don’t glue yourself to the wall, don’t go running off into the woods with nothing but your underwear and a toothbrush. At the time, it was mostly about good behavior.

Now as parents, we realize there is a whole other level of meaning when we kiss them goodbye and tell them to be good. We know we’re really telling them to be good people. Do the right thing. Make us proud. Be the kind of people we hope to be. As Oeuf, we have the chance to elevate this notion once again and be a good company. When we say Be Good, we mean:

Be good designers.
Simple, clean, intuitive products that are easy and safe to use; made with quality craftsmanship that will last from generation to generation; designed with a European sensibility that is fun and stylish reflecting the needs and lifestyle of today’s modern families.

Be good people.
Respect the people who work with us and treat them fairly whether employees, artisans, retailers or consumers. Provide a safe and supportive working environment that allows working families to live and thrive in the United States, Europe and abroad. Honor cultural traditions, diversity and local values. Pay people living wages that enable them to live healthy fulfilling lives and send their own children to school.

Be good to the planet.
Use natural, renewable, recyclable materials that emphasize conservation and lead to environmentally sound products. Employ eco-conscious manufacturing processes that promote low emissions and sustainability.

Be Good is not just something we say-- its something we mean. As parents, we want our children to inherit a world that is better than we found it. As Oeuf, we have the ability to make that happen.

Oeuf

Be Good.

I have always been a sucker for a cute doll and stuff animal.  I had a lot of dolls and stuff animals, very likely the start of my shopaholic tendencies.  When I found out that I was going to have a daughter…I was pretty excited because of the adorable clothes and the toys namely dolls.  I came across Jess Brown Rag doll via one of my parenting magazine and I fell in love with the doll immediately.  I am a Google fiend, plus a tad bit obsessive and so I found the doll with very little information.  I decided to order the doll when my daughter was about 3 or 4 months old.  I decided to wait and to give it to her on her first birthday but right now; she is decoration because it is super cute and very unique.  Jess Brown rag doll are truly one of kind plus, they are handmade.

Check out



Background

Jess has always been inspired by beautiful textiles. She began making dolls for her children 11 years ago using old cashmere sweaters and antique remnants. As committed flea market goers, they would search together for amazing antique pieces, trims, buttons and findings. This has now all come together as a small line of one of a kind and hand made rag dolls.

Each doll is hand dyed in Persian black teas to create variations in skin tones. Each doll is stuffed with a sustainable corn fiber stuffing. They are all made of cotton muslin and linen, and of primarily recycled and antique fabrics and findings. Each doll is created with button shoulders. This may not be suitable for children under three years. Jess also collaborates with several designers, using scrap remnants left over from a current season cutting. These dolls are created as limited edition collections.

Jess Brown rag dolls are available in select shops around the world. Each doll is completely unique and cut to order. There is something truly beautiful about a threadbare, worn, and well loved doll that has been created with the finest materials. Jess lives in Petaluma, California with her children Stella and Tiger and her husband Erio. She owns a small shop in town called maude with her good friend Stacy.
