Votivo Red Currant candle

The full-bodied aroma of Votivo Aromatic Candles will fill your home with a lingering bouquet. Blended with the finest wax and rich fragrances, this aromatic candle will burn for more than 50 hours. Packaged in beautiful giftable box and available in 15 fragrances. My favorite is Red Currant. Fills your whole abode with a wonderful smell. $27. If a candle doesn't smell/ burn well, then it's a waste of money.

Marrakesh Lounge Pants

Lounge pants are essential. Of course having some that have a cheerful, bright, funky pattern helps too. You never know who might come over. These 'Marrakesh' pants are 100% whisper-light cotton, have an elastic waistband and are in whisper weight cotton. Absolutely beautiful pattern too. $175 from Tracy Porter.

Fainting Couches

What is a fainting couch? It's a backless couch with typically one end raised to recline upon. The fainting couch was made for women, especially since so many women in the 1800s wore corsets. Corsets kept a woman breathless, making it much more likely she would faint. Some homes, and hotels even had fainting rooms, where women could catch their breath on a fainting couch. This one from Urban Outfitters is inexpensive and has a solid wood frame upholstered in tufted 100% grey cotton velvet with a soft, vintage hand. Rounded back and high arms. Finished with turned, hardwood spindle legs. Sturdy construction but oh so dainty.

We all need a Fairy Godmother

Lisa Goodwin makes unique semi-precious jewelry and her designs have been featured on the TV and also in in US Weekly, InStyle, People and The New York Post. Some of her celebrity fans/jewelry oweners include Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Eva Mendes, Courteney Cox and Sarah Jessica Parker. I am loving this delicate handmade fairy necklace selling at Intuition. On a 16" chain. $65. Ohh, and the fact that it is called the "Romance Fairy" necklace can't be a bad thing either.

Scrabulous!

Are you a board game addict? Scrabble addict? Can't find people to play with? Facebook.com has an online Scrabble game called Scrabulous that is perfect for you. It is free to get an account on Facebook. Pretty cool to be playing a game with your brother in New York and your friend in Denver while cleaning your place up. Games are turn based, so you don't have to be online at the same time to play. Enjoy gamers!

Red Coral Lariat Necklace

I found this interesting necklace on alloy.com that was bold red and a lariat to boot. Even better? The price. Only $14.50! Show your fashonista cred by mixing inexpensive trendy pieces into your more expensive oldie but goodies. Also looks great with a lot of the white summer dresses out there right now.

Yoga Toes?

Ok, so I am dying to know if these things work?? Anyone? They are supposedly good for girls that wear high pointy heels. They come in a variety of colors, look kinda creepy...but they might keep your tootsies from hurting. I also read a review online in which they say Yoga Toes help to increase balance, "surefootedness", joint range, coordination, correct bone/tissue/cartilage misalignments, improve posture, foot reaction time, stamina. $39.
