I know that I, personally, don’t think that everyone needs to know everything about me. If I’m wearing my signature scent, I would like to keep it MY signature scent! Here’s the perfect way to keep it that way. With these atomizers, you can fill them with whatever you’d like and be on your way. When you’re in the ladies lounge and

someone asks what fragrance your wearing (because it’s not on any label), you say…It was made for me, personally.

The other idea that they’re giving for these atomizers that I love is to carry them filled with your favorite mouthwash. How cool would it be to pull out this pretty atomizer for mouthwash?

One for you, two for me.

Most women, up until the 1960’s brushed their hair daily before going to bed. Because styles changed and more people started to wash their hair more often, brushing went out of style.

Brushing your hair actually does serve a purpose; it cleans and stimulates the scalp and takes the sebum (your own natural oil) from the root of each hair follicle through the strand keeping the ends of your hair as shiny and supple looking as the root.

Mason Pearson has been making the BEST brush (for brushing, not for styling) since the 1860’s in London.

Everyone should actually brush their hair 15 times in each direction (front, back, left to right and right to left) before going to bed each night. You’ll find that once you start brushing you won’t need to wash your hair as often and it (as well as your scalp) will become much healthier over time. It also feels great.

You’ll want to choose the correct brush for your hair type and length.

• Pure Boar Bristle is for Fine to Normal hair
• Mixted Bristle and Nylon is for Thicker Waivy hair
• and Nylon is for Thick Course or Curly Hair

The Sizes of the brushes are determined by the length of your hair. The shorter the hair, the smaller the brush, the longer the hair, the larger the brush.

They also make a Detangler brush that’s excellent.

Once you try it you’ll be hooked.

The brushes are on the expensive side but worth every cent.

After your morning bath, you’ve generously applied your favorite body lotion…you wait a few moments for the lotion to go into your skin and you reach for the goose down puff that awaits you in the crystal tray. Next, you pick up the crystal shaker of powder and gently shake some of the powder into the puff. When you touch the puff to your skin, you know that you’ve arrived at the pinnacle of femininity. The touch of the puff is pure heaven. Could it be any softer…I think not.We don’t often take enough time for ourselves. When you do take the time, why not give yourself some self indulgence. My grandmother still uses powder every time she takes a bath. It gives your skin a silky feeling and leaves behind a pretty, feminine scent that nothing else can.

Lady Primrose has some exquisite powders, lotions, creams and accessories for the luxury bath that you’ve always dreamed of.

Here are some of my favorite pieces (if you have the room for them) for the bath from Lady Primrose:

• Bath Salt Urn – $260.00
• Soap Jar – $44.00 Short Crystal Candle
• Pedestal – $90.00
• Decanter – $42.00

These are just a few of the many beautiful pieces from the collection. Take a look for yourself.

By the way, Lady Primrose was started and (I believe is still owned by) by Caroline Rose Hunt and owned by Mrs. Pieratt and Mrs. Fowler. Caroline is of the Texas based, Hunt Oil Hunts, founded and is the Honorary Chairman of the Rosewood Hotel group Rosewood Properties (most famous for the Mansion at Turtle Creek) and the Crescent Court Hotel and knows a thing or two about living well and luxury.
