A few drops on your your neck and wrists will last all day. It’s all natural and much less expensive than traditional perfume. Plus, essential oil scents are very soothing and relaxing. Available at your local health food store!
BOOK: “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”. Marie Kondo, organization expert, shares her strategies on de-cluttering your home and how it will change your life. The premise is simple: keep only the things that spark joy!
NOT-SO-GUILTY PLEASURE: NYSM Ginger Pomegranate Chocolate. Not to toot our own horn but… actually, let’s toot it. This stuff is kind of blowing our minds it's so yummy. So many magical ingredients that will have you brain and body buzzing. We can't get enough!

NEW LOCATION: Main Street Wine & Gourmet, Orleans, MA
Isador's Organics is like a beautiful flower in the middle of a concrete jungle. They are located in a small town in Oxford, MA. I found them when I was visiting my boyfriend's parents who live in a neighboring town, I was starved for nutrients when lo and behold I found an organic store! They make the best organic sandwiches fully vegan/vegetarian or with Applegate Organic meats and cheeses and organic farm fresh eggs for breakfast sandwiches to! The shop has a beautiful selection of organic products, cookbooks, drinks, organic fruit and vegetables that can be delivered! This is truly an example of AWESOME when it comes to organic.
