Most of us need to do all these things: Awaken, Purify, Refine, Renew and Illuminate.

Golden Path Alchemy is an amazing holistic, handmade, herbal skin care  line. Their unique  combination of Chinese herbs, Western herbs, therapeutic essential oils, flower essences and gem elixirs create powerful healing blends that transform your skin from ordinary to extraordinary.  I was intrigued to try and very much needed to Renew.

What makes the line luxe, is that every product is handmade in small batches with all-natural, local and certified organic ingredients.

Each line is comprensive and has every thing your skin needs.   My fave was the Renew collection, which brings together natural botanical essences that embody the Metal element to refresh, replenish and revitalize, the skin, body and spirit. Renew combines pure, fresh ingredients that breathe new life into your skin uncovering your youthful radiance. This line features uplifting essential oils of Rose, Neroli and Geranium. Selected botanicals, including Coconut, Rosehip, Sea Buckthorn, Pumpkin and Almond, synergistically unite to powerfully hydrate and renew the skin, body and spirit.

The steam and body scrub truly stood out and are now my bath ritual essentials.  Bring the bath back into your life, I say!

Golden Path Alchemy is all about keeping beauty products real.  They are support many initiatives that every girl should know about… one that I have always supported too is The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.  There are too many glowing things to say about the founders Ashley Beckman and Minka Robinson, but both are certified in aromatherapy and flower and gem essence therapy and they are truly heading down the right path.

Once it hits your lips! The concept of dessert only flies out the door with this this Organic, one batch + hand-packed Bliss Ice Cream. The Chocolate was added to my Cappuccino in the morn. The Honey Lavender was lovely to de-stress with mid day. Lemon Blueberry was fun to share with my lil’ boys as an after school snack. Hubby + I shared a Strawberry with hot fudge dessert! Do I need to go on…it is making me crave yet another flavor – Ginger! Bliss uses only fresh, organic ingredients.

Fall in love with your man or with your ice cream.

I have you singin’

What’s up Girl?  What have you done for me lately.  Ooh Ooh Ooh Yeah.

To me, Paper Cloud is color, creativity and a whole lota coolness.

The husband and wife team Matthew and Ariana Broerman are a duo to be reckoned with in this design space; and moi had the absolute pleasure of meeting them in NYC while they were launching their fall line.

I immediately fell in love with these Wood Plank pillows.  It was truly one of those moments where you see something gorgeous and just know exactly where it will fit in your life, or on  your favorite white leather chair in this case.
The texture of the fabric and the vibrant and clean design of this collection is guaranteed to win you over too.

Matthew and Ariana say, their designs are inspired by the sometimes quirky beauty of nature, interpretations of all that surrounds them. Theses pendant lamps show that inspired design and how it all comes together, a little unexpectely, yet spot on.

So, Paper Cloud, click over.

Peruse and find your favorites.
