Welcome, Elleora.

Her arrival has been highly anticipated … her birth was something we were all waiting for … her little self has already stolen so much affection …

 

Welcome to the world, little Elleora. You are so loved and blessed – born, as baby #4, into such an amazing family. And as always, for me, it’s such a pleasure to work with families and clients that are friends. Elleora’s family certainly does hold a special place in my heart!

I’ve been wanting to feature this awesome business for a few months now –  I purchased quite a few of their items for Christmas presents this year and everyone LOVES their amazing body products! 

 

But who wouldn’t with a name like whipped sugar scrub and goddess? Yes, ladies, it’s time to indulge. Plain and simple.
