Nellcôte

I've obviously been on a Stones kick lately. They recorded their masterpiece album Exile on Main Street in '72 in the south of France at a  villa named Nellcôte. I just watched the first half of the new documentary, Stone in Exile, about the recording of that album. I have always wondered about what life might have been like in that house. I can only imagine the indulgent rocknroll glamour of it all. I always love to look at pictures taken of them in the house. What an inspiring place to live.



Marianne and Anita

I know why the Stones loved them.


They couldn't be any cooler.

natural + frugal = at-home facial

Earlier this week I tried an easy at-home facial I had recently read about. All it takes is a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and a tablespoon of baking soda. You probably have that in your kitchen right now. Mix them together until it begins to fizz then apply to your face. Leave it on until it dries — 20 minutes should do — then rinse and moisturize. The alpha hydroxy acids in the lemon juice act as a natural exfoliate and the acidity of the the baking soda gently removes dead skin cells.

Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum

I've been meaning to try the Argan Oil Hair Serum from Josie Maran's organic product line for a while. I finally got around to purchasing a bottle recently and I have been so far pleased with the results. I apply it to my damp hair after shampooing and conditioning and leaves my hair soft and shiny and smelling like geraniums. It contains geranium and bergamot oil, argan oil, jojoba oil, avocado oil, and vitamin e -- all great things for your hair. My hair actually feels healthier after using rather than as if I just have a product in my hair. Love it.
