The Republic of Tea - Rose Petal Tea
First to recommend
Description
The "Tea for the Queen of Hearts" is a limited-edition blend that only comes out around Heart Day (because it's all rose-infused and lovey). I buy tons of it every year; one time I even sprang for the one-pound bag.

Buddha Nose Heart Spray
First to recommend
Description
The juxtaposition of the the words 'nose" and "heart" is weird, but just go with it. Made with lots of lovely essential oils blended into rose hydrosol, Buddha Nose Heart Spray is said to help you "feel a deep sense of calm and open your awareness to love and connectedness."

Dream Calming Bubble Bath from Lollia
First to recommend
Description
The packaging alone is enough to make you all floaty-feeling. But Dream Calming Bubble Bath from Lollia also features de-stressing ingredients like white rose and muguet petals, almond oil, and avocado oil to help you wind down and sleep sounder at the end of a crazy day.

Devil's Thumb Ranch
First to recommend
Description
Ever since visiting Devil's Thumb Ranch in Tabernash, Colorado, this past September, I've been dreaming of going back sometime in the not-very-distant future. I'd never been to Colorado before and fell in love with the mountains and those wide open spaces everyone always muses about. My cabin was fantastic, a loft furnished with beautiful wooden pieces that you could tell were lovingly selected. At the spa I had a hot stone massage and facial, both of which were some of the most fabulous spa treatments I'd ever received (especially the hot stone - this is something everyone truly *must* experience at some point in his/her life). And I rode a horse and ate antelope, both first-time experiences that I found exciting, slightly scary, and ultimately wonderful.
My fantasy is to somehow be whisked away to Devil's Thumb this winter, despite the fact that I don't even ski or snowshoe: I want to go back for more hot stone and lounging by the cabin's fireplace and indulging in so much great food and wine in the restaurant and staring awestruck at the mountains and also for the wintertime sleigh rides, which sound absolutely magic.

Sycamore Mineral Springs
First to recommend
Description
I spent a few days at Sycamore Springs resort in San Luis Obispo around this time last year, which was one of the most beautifully amazing getaways of my life. Sycamore Springs is known for their mineral baths - they have lots of jacuzzi-sized outdoor tubs that are nestled into the hillside, and the water's really rich in sulfur (good for your respiratory system and your skin - in fact, after about a half-hour in the tub, all the blemishes on my chin were cleared away). I got a delicious ayurvedic facial (during which my aesthetitian poured hot oil onto my scalp - yummm...), had a chakra-balancing energy treatment, walked the labyrinth, and went on a fabulous hike up the hillside and over to the ocean (sooo gorgeous). The lodging's also divine: I had a lovely, roomy cottage with a fireplace and a back deck that included my own private spring-water hot tub, and during the evenings I'd soak in the tub while reading books and eating Dove chocolate bars. Pure heaven. I can't wait to go back again someday.

Choice Organic Earl Grey with Lavender Tea
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
Choice Organic Teas is probably my favorite tea company, though sadly I can never seem to find them in Whole Foods or other places where I shop for tea. Their Earl Grey with Lavender is my favorite and - like all Choice's teas - it's both organic and fair trade. Tastes like love and prettiness.

Woman's Dong Quai Tonic from Yogi Tea
First to recommend
Description
Everytime I get a facial, the aesthetician invariably informs me that the blemishes around my chin are somehow hormone-related. And while for many years I did little more than go "wow, that totally sucks" and kind of shrug my shoulders, I recently decided to try Woman's Dong Quai Tonic from Yogi Tea and see if it could help me out any. Dong Quai, considered the "queen of herbs" in traditional Chinese medicine, is said to be effective in "addressing common female hormone imbalances," according to Yogi Tea (whom I generally trust). I've been drinking the tea for about two months now and my skin has cleared up significantly. This makes me really happy. I'm going to drink it forever.

Sprinkles Cupcakes
47 people recommended this item
Description
Sprinkles is a fancy Beverly Hills bakery specializing in cupcakes and nothing but cupcakes. The most deliciously decadent cupcakes the world has ever seen. This is the end of the cupcake world as we know it. One bite and you'll never quite enjoy the betty crocker mix cupcake the same way again.
If you haven’t heard, everyone is raving about Sprinkles including Oprah Winfrey, and people are waiting in line all the way down the street to get their $3.25 all-natural cupcake. The bakery will have other stores opening soon across the country.

Lavender Bear
First to recommend
Description
The Aromatherapy Microwaveable Lavender Bear from MindfulToys.com is probably made for little kids, but I don't care. You stick him in the microwave and he gets all warm and cozy, and the lavender, lemon balm, rosebud, hyssop, and other herbs inside release their soothing scents to make you sleep better. Kind of weird, but it totally works.
