New Iris Collection from Crabtree & Evelyn

Crabtree & Evelyn as a brand certainly doesn’t need much introduction but I wonder how many people are like me and would sometimes call it Evelyn & Crabtree by mistake? But mistake aside, I’ll always step into their store when I spot one, just to test their hand creams, smell their fragrances and finger their fine foods. Undeniably, their stores have a distinctive English style that somehow draw me in and make me want to linger just a little longer.

Omega 3 fish oil to drive away my PMS blues

I know, I know. I seem like a sales promoter for Kordel’s supplements. Well, sales promoter I am not but I’m definitely sold on their supplements because they work for me. So what new supplements have I been taking from their slate? It’s the Kordel’s Hi-Omega 3 Wild Salmon & Fish Oils. I didn’t have success with the plant-based flax oil supplement and so decided to go back to taking fish oil, mainly for my heart, brain and skin. However, one of the first benefits that I’m reaping is that it is helping to ease my PMS tremendously.

1920s flapper inspired fashion accessories

Did you watch The Great Gatsby? If so, you would have noticed the women in the roaring 1920s. They were called the Flapper Girls because they wore short skirts, sported short bob haircuts, used excessive makeup, smoked, drank, partied, and were generally liberal in their sexual behavior. Okay, I’m not so inspired by their sexual behavior but I’m certainly inspired by their sense of fashion and style. So today, I’ve hunted down a couple of flapper inspired fashion accessories from Etsy to share here.
