Soft and cozy bed

Found this comforter in a magazine and checked it out on Amazon where it got 11 out of 11 top reviews. Customers seemed to love how lightweight and cozy this comforter is. However, some warn not to be "freaked out" by how thin the comforter appears when removed from packaging after shipment. Apparently, it will plump up just fine.

Art Boxes

I first stumbled across the above picture of one of Sidney Rosen's art boxes when I was looking at the Long Island Craft Guild's Web site and I was intrigued.

After a bit of a search, I found more samples of his work:





These are beautiful, unique wood crafts that would make fabulous addictions to any soft and cozy home. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find price information or size, but there is a Web site with the artist's email address:
sidsartbox.com/

Here's a description of his work from his Web site:


“Art Boxes” strives to combine flowing organic shapes with interesting and unusual woods. The interplay of harmony and contrast is emphasized, combined with a high degree of finish.


Art boxes are constructed from glued pieces of different species of hardwoods, cut into shapes with a bandsaw. The individual pieces are sanded, glued together, and given a natural finish.

Soft and Cozy movie

"Julie and Julia" is a good movie to watch as you curl up on the couch.

Starring Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and Stanley Tucci, whom I want to marry after watching this movie, the plot follows a woman turning 30 who starts her own blog to record her experiences of cooking over 500 recipes from a book co-written by Julia Child.

Funny, engaging and relaxing movie to watch. But, with many, many scenes involving delicious-looking food, you might want to eat first or have plenty of gourmet popcorn on hand.

Body Wrap

Lavender is widely considered to be one of the most relaxing, soothing smells/scents. With that in mind, we went in search of a good lavender-related relaxation products. And here's what we found:
