Review on Angel Tarot by Doreen Virtue





 I'm not the biggest fan of Tarot  but I have to say that  I  have always loved  cards made by Doreen Virtue and this deck is  no exception.  I have  always  connected to  Angel  cards  faster. The messages I get from  doing angel cards are much more clearer and  I pick up messages  much more  intuitively. Either way Angel cards have always  been my thing plus when  this deck came out I just knew it a good deck for me to work with.

1. How did you come up with the Name of your Shop?

I wanted my business name to show that it was a luxury brand and reflect the mystery, the beauty, and the intrigue of fragrance. SecretScentSociete is a shortened version of The Secret Scent Societe' which was slightly too long to use on Etsy.

Lemon Yogurt Cake Recipe



This  weekend I wanted to share a recipe with you that I absolutely love.  I am a big  fan of Food Network. One of my favorite chefs is Ina Garten.   Every time I  learn from her, I do feel like a professional chef at dishes  I make.  I love baking  because when I am the process of mixing the  ingredients together I feel really relaxed. baking makes me happy and improves my mood!  So for today's  recipe I have  Lemon Yogurt cake. I  usually leave out the glaze part with the confectioners sugar and lemon juice as I dont feel its  needed but I do pour  the lemon sauce. Yes, I have done  it both ways.  It does  taste really good with the glaze too but i just save calories cutting that glaze out. yet of course if I am taking to some to family or friends  i do add the glaze to make it look yummy.

Shop Feature: FLORABEAUTY Natural Jewelry Made With Real Flowers and Plants



The Shop of this week is FLORABEAUTY.  She is from Europe and I have to say that she has amazing  talent. After  looking at her shop I  really find her work very unique. I never  imagines you could put real flowers or plants  into jewelry like she does. What I really like most about it is how  natural looking each piece is and very unique in  her own way. but  I love how simple and clean the jewelry is as that is my style. I like all the simple designs and they look the best on me. Read more details on her amazing shop, 

1. How did you come up with the Name of your Shop?
Well, that was not hard. I have tried to find a phrase, which will combine the beauty of the flowers. The Latin word for a flower is flora, so I said to myself: Why not use something traditional, something that is here longer than we are (i.e. flowers=flora) and point them as something beautiful that is here for us.
