About 3 months ago I purchased a pair of high waist, wide leg trousers without trying them on. Once I got them home I realized what they were not designed for my body type - short with less than flat abs - so the high waist made me look... well... they looked like maternity pants. So I exchanged them and this is what I exchanged them for: Illume Good Nature tin candle in Avocado Mint: a rich fusion on creamy avocado, fresh lime, mint leaves and a hint of sweet sugarcane.   Featuring 40 hours of burn time, this 8.3oz soy wax candle is made in the USA and retails for $16.00. I can't even describe this scent. It is amazing. The lime and garden mint are perfectly balanced and kissed by sugar sweetness. This is not an artificially sweetened candle, it smells perfectly created by nature. The trick to these candles is to burn them for 15 minutes or so and extinguish the flame. This is when the melted soy becomes most aromatic.

Sometime I like to go to Pier1 for no reason other than to window shop.   This day I made a sweet score.  Most of you don't know, Paris is my favourite place.  Next to New York of course.  Now, I do not collect Eiffel Towers but I have a few special ones and this day I added a few more!  When I first spotted the pair, I instantly thought that they reminded me of old cheap liquor bottles or vintage perfume bottles.  Everyone over 35 is nodding their heads.   They are so unexpected.  So Anthropologie.   And so affordable, $6.95 each.  I can't wait to set my table with my Paris dishes and have silver pillars popping out from these sweet holders! Ooh la la!! xoxo •Nancy-Lee
