Lavender Infused Honey
First to recommend
3 people recommended this item
Description
I heart Purple Haze Lavender; they do lots of great work in preserving the agricultural heritage of the Washington State valley where their organic flowers are grown. This is my favorite honey of all honeys in the world, and I wish I had a neverending supply to sweeten the 500 cups of tea I drink everyday.

Herbal Comfort Neck Wrap by Crabtree & Evelyn
First to recommend
Description
Don't leave home without it. Most people are into those nice & squishy FOM pillows, but I love this neck wrap better 'cause the dried lavender stuffed inside is so good at helping soothe my flying fears.

Le Pink Boutique
First to recommend
Description
Le Pink - a beauty apothecary in Silver Lake, L.A. - is my favorite place ever to buy pretty lotions and potions and - yay - vintage candy. The all-pink-and-white shop carries lots of fabulous stuff from lesser-known beauty companies, which makes it a way more fun shopping experience than what you'll get at Sephora.

Ben & Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk
First to recommend
Description
The first time I tried this, my friend and I sat around and talked about how amazing it was for about an hour. It's so damn good, I can't really even buy it because I'll probably eat the whole container in one sitting. Sweet cream cinnamon ice cream + ooey gooey oatmeal cookie + big fat chocolate chunks = I think I'm in love.

Sex and the City - The Complete Series
First to recommend
14 people recommended this item
Description
Yes, this mos def falls into the "anti-stress" category. Sex & The City is one of the most reliable ways for me to decompress after a long, hard day clicking away at my iBook; at this point I could probably be considered a full-blown addict. I don't actually own the complete series collector's giftset, but I'm very much open to having someone buy it for me. That person could be you.

Naturopathica Hydrolats
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
On Friday I got a Naturopathica facial at GreenBliss ecospa (sooo delicious), and afterward I picked up one of Naturopathica's Hydrolats ("residual floral waters of the steam distillation process of essential oils," in case you were wondering). It works as toner to balance your skin and remove dirt, but I mostly love it for the happy orange scent, which is so perfect for a midday pick-me-up when there's no caffeine readily available.

Elixir Tonics & Teas
First to recommend
Description
I don't do yoga, but I do do Liquid Yoga. It's one of the tonics formulated by Elixir Tonics & Teas and - according to the little blurby product info thing - it was "conceived thru an enchanting blend of calming botanicals such as jujube, Chinese peony, fleece flower, longan, and Aucklandia." All I know is Liquid Yoga tastes like superdeeelish apricot heaven, and I love how Elixir serves it up all bubbly and fizzy. Also, the Elixir cafe on Melrose is one of my favorite places in all of L.A., totally Zen and secret-garden-like.

Jo Wood Organics Body Dew
First to recommend
Description
Jo Wood Organics' packaging is so pretty, having this bottle in my bathroom has added a whole new element of decor. The scent is really lovely too, kind of gingery, and there are essences of soothing herbs like St. John's wort and echinacea. And then there's the Rolling Stones connection: Jo Wood is the wife of guitarist Ronnie, which - as someone who loves the Stones more than almost anything - I find ridiculously cool.

Zhena's Gypsy Teas - Organic Fair Trade
First to recommend
Description
I am a tea-aholic and can't get through the day without at least four or five cups. White and green and herbal are all lovely, but the black stuff rules my heart. Zhena's Raspberry Earl Grey is my favorite tea of all. I would like to live in a pot of it, with so much Hawaiian honey and skim milk.

Pacifica - Bali Lime Papaya Pillar Candles
First to recommend
Description
I discovered Pacific Candles at the beautiful Espiritu De Vida boutique in L.A. They make your whole house smell like paradise, or at least a really great spa.
