// Cream Cheese & Strawberries Ice Cream

My mom's love affair with The World's Most Fabulous Cheesecake will forever be, and has stood the test of time over the last six decades. Two years ago when I asked Mom what ice cream flavour she wanted for her upcoming birthday get-together, without hesitation, she said, "Strawberry Cheesecake." I knew where she was coming from as it's been a long favourite also in my world. Known for using only the finest ingredients and hand-blending in small batches, indulgents are always in for a refined treat of the royal kind as each bite holds its own full-on burst of fabulous. I wanted to hone in on this rich, smooth and creamy sharp-sweet flavour (and texture) with this month's latest: Cream Cheese & Strawberries. Here's to our last full month of summer as we've experienced it... More beginning behind-the-scenes after the jump... Have a very lovely weekend.  ~xo

Tell me about it... Good thing softness and grace lingers. 'Fancy meeting you here too... There are some things we could do permanently, and these are a few of them.

// Magazine Moments: Spring 2019

"Live for the moments you can't put into words..." - Bella Grace Magazine. I wholeheartedly agree. 'Currently enjoying this softer touch and quiet read filled with all things graceful: from the gentle and dreamy swept-away photos, to inspiring and healing notes which truly celebrate the 'magic' found in our simple everyday, transforming the ordinary to the extraordinary. Bella Grace encourages the pause and even gives valid new insights into the joys of missing out(!), JOMO :) Another delightful read found once again while waiting in the check-out line. What a lovely magazine. I was immediately hooked when I spotted its soothing blue be blue be blue carefree cover. Click within the image(s) above and after the jump to discover more...

// Spring Scents and Spontaneity

We made it to Friday! and I hope you had a decent week (at least), with an 'up' in the mix. To say we love our candles and evening lights-out candle moments doesn't even come close. We thrive on the simple tranquil blend of inviting scents, and softer transportive moods created by the luxury of pure and earthy seasonal notes each and every evening, and even throughout our weekend afternoons, as often as possible. To wrap up our work week, here are a few favourites and new blends we're looking forward to during spring... and of course there will be others found during those spontaneous browsing serendipity moments... It's been a full(!) week, but good news is good news. Thanks everybody, and have a very relaxing weekend. ~xx
