Shanghai Tang: Double Fish "Luck" Cushion Cover

First to recommend

Description

Not that Michael Phelps needs any luck, but he has certainly come to represent the embodiment of luck . . . and one wonders whether he has somehow inherited the genes of a fish, so at home in the water is he. Winning eight gold medals in a single Olympiad, he has now set a new standard against which all future Olympians will be measured. Yet, it seems that the real joy for Phelps is more in the swimming than in the winning. And THAT is what is so glorious about his success.

Amazon: Karma 101- What Goes Around Comes Around...and What You Can Do About It by Joshua Mack

First to recommend

Description

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like mean people and ugly behavior are ever more becoming the rule, rather than the exception. Which is why I love this book so much . . . it gives plenty of examples of both the good and the bad and the in-my-lifetime consequences of each. As the opening quote by Sogyal Rinpoche so succinctly states, "Whatever we do, with our body, speech or mind, will have a corresponding result. Each action, even the smallest, is pregnant with its consequences."

Scents include Rose, Ocean, Jasmine, Lelawadee, Lavender, Sandalwood Oil, Tulip, Orchid, Chypre and Butterfly Pea. A gorgeous gift for a hostess, yoga teacher or yourself.
