hey, i just thought i'd mention three of my favorite sites for beauty, fashion, and gift ideas.

the first one is great for anything from mineral makeup to skin care to travel needs: http://www.goodtobeyou.com. (check out their wool clutches and clutchettes by margaret nicole!)

the second one is great for interesting, graphic, urban-inspired clothing. i am in love with their handbag selection: http://www.artfulwears.com.

the last one is great for personal use, as well as promoting one's business (PARTICULARLY if you are in the beauty/salon/spa/health industry): http://www.sparkle-plenty.com. (they use super-sparkly swarovsky crystals to create custom t-shirts, logos, and just plain fun designs.)

for mother's day, i got my mom three crystal bracelets containing the birthstones (in crystal) of her three children, as well as a white, v-neck, short-sleeve tee that said "wine chick" on it. (she's a wine-lover, obviously.) totally cute, and she loved it!

hope you like them too!
