When I was invited to do a guest post at this delightful site of Trésors De Luxe, the first word that came to my mind to share about was BEAUTY. This site is all about beauty and I am all about raising our level of joy, and beauty and joy are wonderfully interrelated.
Along with the first thoughts we think as we wake and the thoughts we contemplate as we close our eyes at night, are the images we see. Have we tidied the bedside table and left ourselves a glass of water for when we wake? Have we kept the scary books away from our bedside and instead chosen art books with images of nature or statues or paintings? Have we chosen artwork for our walls that inspires us?
The very first thing we see when we open our eyes helps set the tone for our entire day. And this is not about money, for a bedside table can consist of a stack of books or a sturdy box, art books can be borrowed from the library, and artwork for our walls can be as accessible as our neighbourhood thrift store or an up-and-coming local artist, as long as the piece touches our heart and makes us feel good to look at it.
Please consider these excerpts from Thomas Moore’s ‘Care of the Soul’:
“Care for our actual homes… however humble is also care of the soul. No matter how little money we have, we can be mindful of the importance of beauty in our homes.”
“Every day we will find moments when the soul glimpses an occasion for beauty, if only passing a store window and stopping for a second to notice a beautiful ring or an arresting pattern in a dress.”
“If we are going to care for the soul, and if we know that the soul is nurtured by beauty, then we will have to understand beauty more deeply and give it a more prominent place in life.”
“An appreciation for beauty is simply an openness to the power of things that stir the soul.”
Let us acknowledge the importance of beauty and bring it into our surroundings. Let us nurture and care for the soul by choosing artwork for our walls and tables that inspires and uplifts. And let us remember to have hyacinths, or any flowers, on our bedside or kitchen tables to allow their beauty to help feed our soul.
Warmest wishes for a beautiful day,
Gina

We truly hope you have a magical, peaceful and treasured-filled day!
What comes to mind when you think of the holidays? Family? Presents? Long lines at your local mall? Decadent sweets…yes, all of that is true and more! This is why our next holiday shopping tip (#3) has to be these three simple words: REST. REJUVINATE. RECHARGE. How many of you have come down with the flu this time of year when so much is expected of you, or exhausted all of your energy reserves to get that last-minute gift, sometimes the pressure of the holidays is just too, too much! So, this is why we’re turning over a new leaf and going to try something new this year! You can join us in liberating yourself from all the holiday hoopla and succumb to what the holidays are really all about: PEACE. LOVE. GOOD CHEER. We’re going to challenge ourselves to step outside of our comfort zone and make some precious time just for ourselves, curled up in bed with the highest thread count sheets we can find, a hot cup of fragrant herbal tea and make this holiday season one that includes giving back to ourselves. If not you, then who? If not now, then when?

By definition, to hold means: To have and keep in one’s grasp: held the reins tightly. There is something so innocent, yet so delicious, by holding another persons hand…we love adorning hands with luxurious treasures, and making a statement about who you are. Our pieces are hand selected and thoughtfully chosen to reflect the best you…

“Small things that mean a lot: Cute texts, tight hugs, long replies, holding hands, remembering the little things, & kisses on the forehead.” Unknown
“I get the greatest feeling when I’m singing. It’s other-worldly. Your feet are anchored into the Earth and into this energy force that comes up through your feet and goes up the top of your head and maybe you’re holding hands with the angels or the stars, I have no idea.” Cyndi Lauper
The ORIGINAL Trèsors De Luxe, baby!
XOXO!
If you can, try to take 20 minutes a day to do something just for you: read a book, sip hot tea, breathe slowly and deeply or even meditate. These precious moments are not only time well spent, but are rejuvenating and restoring to your soul. It’s a gift you can give yourself. No one else can do it for you…

Do you ever feel like you need to get away from everything and everyone? It’s natural to feel overwhelmed in the world in which we live. If you’re limited on “free time” set your eyes these hanging seated areas! We are absolutely convinced without taking time for yourself, other areas of your life will suffer. Imagine being up high, away from your worries and free from all…allow yourself to take an imaginary vacation, even for just one moment!
Have a treasure filled and glorious day, The Tresors Team
