Quiet.

In those early morning hours, when the house is completely still, no one is awake yet, and it’s just you and your favorite hot beverage, it’s pure BLISS.

The responsibilities of the day haven’t kicked in yet, so it’s just you and the peaceful quiet of the day. Those special moments are some of life’s most underrated simple pleasures.

Freshly made medium roast, almond milk with hazelnut stevia sweetener is what we’re currently sipping on. Enjoying every moment of it. Ahhh.

{ Dark CHOCOLATE 101 }

While those heart-shaped boxes of milky, cream-filled bonbons don’t qualify, recent studies show that pure dark chocolate is actually really, really good for you! That doesn’t mean you should stack a massive supply next to the remote control and settle in for the winter, but wouldn’t that be FUN!?!  But in moderation, you can enjoy the glorious taste of dark chocolate guilt-free.

LOOK FOR…

Appearance High-quality dark chocolate should have a high-gloss sheen, not a “bloomed” (blotchy, almost dusty) look.

Feel Because it starts to soften at about 97 degrees, good chocolate should melt in your hand.

Sound You should hear a solid snap when you crack off the corner of the bar, proof that it was tempered (or melted and cooled to the desired crystal structure) properly

Enjoy these irresistable selections…XO ~ Tresors De Luxe

( chocolate and jewelry…what more does a girl really need?!?)

Rich in antioxidants, it satisfies the deepest darkest cravings…

Outdoor Lanterns For Summer!

We’ve been counting down the days to summer, and we’re officially 15 days away!  One of our all time favorite ways to spend a leisure summer evening is with a refreshing homemade sparkling lemonade in hand,  the faint smell of bbq off in the distance, and to be surrounded by flickering summer lanterns!  Dusk is the perfect time to light these exotic ceramic, metal and glass candle holders up!

Here’s to many of these types of relaxed summer evenings for each of you…

Villa La Banane, St. Barts ~ Inspiration For Your Own Home’s Decor!

la banane

In the heart of a coconut grove in St. Barts, La Banane is a chic and nostalgic haven set amid tropical surroundings…bright shades of yellow and red greet guests in the open-air lobby, which overlooks an iconic pool scene sprinkled with couples and celebs. Inside, pale blue and stark white walls are shaded behind Parisian blinds for ultimate privacy.  All the cottages are steps away from the vibrant indoor/outdoor bar, where fresh fruit or mojitos are served on one of the plush bar stools or funky wire-mesh chairs around the pool!  Think head-to-toe pampering in your bungalow. www.labanane.com

Notice the relaxed look of wicker chairs, light and bright color choices and shells-a-plenty!  Inspiration is abundant and everywhere you look…

Our stylist was inspired by the exotic feel and relaxed look of the Carribean and beyond when our Zanzabar Collection was conceived!  Take a look…http://www.tresorsdeluxe.com/apps/webstore/products/category/765993?page=1
