Retail Therapy, a.k.a Enablement

For anyone who would like to do a little retail therapy, or simply likes to do some online window shopping, I present a few sites for your perusal. Most of the sites are not the favorites of the retail therapy section of the forum, although there's one or two that may have been prominently mentioned.

 

Good incense is in the nose of the beholder, and my nose has different moods. But for both Fred Soll incense (very resiny, strong, smoky, long-lasting) and Nipon Kodo incense (classic Japanese) and everything in between, and all in one order, I go to: http://www.bambuddhas.com In between Fred Soll and Nipon Kodo is Terre d'Oc incense, which difficult to find and not cheap, but very much worth the money. It can be found at: http://www.sensia.com There are endless goodies at both Bambuddhas and Sensia that will tempt you mightily, be warned...

 

Mentioned frequently in the powdered mineral makeup thread of the Bathing Beauty section of the forum is Alima powdered mineral makeup. It is the greatest stuff, beautiful colors, subtle coverage, and you can order samples. Support a small business that includes cool little philosophical sayings on the back of cards that you receive with your order: http://www.alimacosmetics.com

 

For anyone who wants to get that great western U.S. smell into their home, via wreaths or incense or tea or soap or jellies, go to: http://www.juniperridge.com I smell their products and this flatland girl is back in the western mountains.

 

She's a forum member and we did a swap, me sending her Khajurajo and she sending a necklace from her web site. The photos do not do the jewelry justice; it is beautiful and delicate and drapes beautifully: http://www.todiefordesigns.com

And her clothing is gorgeous.

 

Beautiful jewlery, a lot of animal and celtic designs. Just fabulous. I have the Irish Wolfhound pendant: http://www.black-horse-design.com

 

Just fun! The name should tell you so! http://www.stuff-o-rama.com

 

Really great designs for the goddess in you -- surely this site has at least one that is you: http://www.thaliatook.com

I'd like the Jeanne d'Arc t-shirt, because it's a name thing, the Green Tara design is gorgeous, I really like Nyx, and the Rhiannon design is beautiful, but unfortunately, if I wore it, I would keep thinking of a goat because it reminds me of Stevie Nicks singing that Fleetwood Mac song. :twisted:

My coffee guy! Even though he closed the coffee shop that was my refuge from the perv postman and the other oddities of downtown coffee houses, he still runs a custom coffee roasting business. The best coffee I've ever had, hands down -- he buys only the best beans and is a stickler for roasting. No burned beans from this guy! http://www.coffeecultureonline.com

 

Thornefolk Solutions -- A neat little female-owned business, bath goodies. Check out the fizzing skulls for Halloween/Day of the Dead favors, their bath salts are great and they're having a sale on Pixie Sticks (their samplers of bath salts) right now. It's a great deal! http://www.thornefolk.net

Thanks for posting all those great links! I went on Stuff-O-Rama ages ago and liked their selection, then promptly forgot about the site :) Some of those bracelets are fab! I want one for every day of the week -- Elvis, Bettie, Vegas...

 

Plus I'm always on the troll for great incense. Mmm, pleasant wafting smoke.

I think you got me with the coffee. Even though it's expensive, I can't stop thinking about it. I'm a terrible coffee and tea snob, and I looooove really smooth, dark, strong coffee and tea. :)

If you order from Terrance, tell him you know me. He delivers freshly-roasted beans to me at my office every other week -- the benefit of being a regular at his old coffee house! And if you order from him, you can then be regaled with his Monday morning reminders, which have a bit of a cult following. People who don't drink coffee ask me to forward his emails to them, simply for the entertainment factor!

 

And seriously, his coffee is the very best!
