The holiday Season is exciting and fun….but  oh-so exhausting.

After all the shopping, planning and party-going….a woman just needs some time to spoil herself. So, why not turn off your iphone/ blackberry/cell phone, turn on your favorite CD, light some heavenly smelling candles,  and take a lonngggg bubble bath. Remember to relax….

And be sure to catch up on your sleep! We want you to start the year with a positive attitude and a radiant look. How better than in your Egyptian cotton Au Lit sheets?

Take the time to pamper yourself…even if it’s just taking a quick minute to catch up on reading or that soothing, fragrant bubble bath.

Get it at Liv!!!

Today I fell madly in love with an Elizabeth & James blazer at Neiman Marcus, but alas, my cruel husband (‘ll refer to him herewith as the “Joy Thwarter”) guilted me into not buying it. As I sulked my way home, the Joy Thwarter reminded me I had a lot to be grateful for and that the exquisite blazer was just “a piece of fabric.”

After much pondering, I realized that the Joy Thwarter was right. I am going to share with you the lovely poem that set me back on track and which is my inspiration for the new year.   Happy Twenty-Ten!

“To realize the value of 10 years, ask a newly divorced couple. To realize the value of four years, ask a graduate. To realize the value of one year, ask a student who has failed a final exam. To realize the value of nine months, ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn. To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby. To realize the value of one week, ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of one minute, ask the person who has just missed the train, bus or plane. To realize the value of one second, ask a person who has survived an accident. To realize the value of a millisecond, ask the person who has won the silver medal in the Olympics. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have.”
