   Kick up the exfoliation with a fantastic cranberry scrub.   You can use either a fine sugar granule, which is less abrasive to the skin, or use a large granule sugar, such as Sugar In The Raw, for an intense scrub.  I tend to like the smaller granules personally.  It’s softer to the skin, while standing up on the efficacy scale as well. 

 1 cup fresh cranberries
1 1/2 cups organic sugar
1/2 cup sweet almond oil
1 scraped and finely chopped vanilla bean
15 drops jasmine essential oil
5 drops rose essential oil

Crush cranberries in food processor until fine; add sweet almond oil, vanilla infusion and pour into large bowl and add sugar, mix well and put into jars.  Put into an air tight container and use while showering.  Perfect for gift giving!

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have a beautiful new coffee table book out called Influence.   It’s a collection of photos, quotes, and insight from of all the people who have influenced them in the fashion industry. 

Here’s what Ashley says about the book:  “The book is comprised of conversations my sister and I have had with artists, designers, photographers, writers, and personalities who come from different backgrounds, industries, age groups, and points of view. … It’s my hope each one will remain a constantly evolving conversation that will continue to influence every project that I do – and perhaps by reading, you will be similarly affected by these interviews too.”

I think this is an excellent idea for a coffee table book.  You know why?  Because it’s my idea!   I had the idea for this book some years ago.  Evidently, they did too.  I also had the idea for front loading, entire bottle of detergent holding, washing machines.  I really need to do more about bringing my ideas to fruition.  Turns out, they are good ideas!  ha!

This is a beautiful book with gorgeous photos.  It’s a perfect holiday gift for those fashionistas on your list.
