Tell me about your Dream vacation and win a CSN Giveaway!


With spring rearing its head slowly it can only mean one thing….  Its time to start planning your summer vacation! Let me tell you that it’s never too early to start dreaming!


As much as I love spring with its floaty dresses and pleasant weather there is something about sultry summer that makes it the most enjoyable of all seasons. Summer means no school, popsicles, lazy days on the beach, BBQs and of course vacations! It also is a great time to spruce up the house in time for all those summer backyard parties or even invest in some gorgeous modern office furniture to ‘summer’ your work day!


So getting down to business… Tell me your dream vacation destination and you could win a 35-dollar gift certificate toward the very addictive CSN stores.

To enter simply leave a comment below telling me your dream vacation destination and you could get lucky! For me the ultimate dream vacay would mean sipping a pina colada gazing out at the azure ocean while lounging on a pristine beach in Seychelles. Or maybe shopping at a souk in some exotic country… if only I could decide!!! But hey… who says a girl can’t have it all?

The contest is open to readers located in the United States and Canada only and the last date to enter is the 31st of March 2011.

Don’t forget to follow me on the blog and catch me on twitter! Good Luck!

Dastkar Ranthambore




Look what my personal Santa (aka mommy) bought me! 


I love the convenience of a drawstring bag when all I need is something compact to hold my few essentials on a quick run to the grocery store but this guy is plain adorable… far more worthy methinks of just a mad dash to Tarjet! The best part, however, is that this line of crafts come from the Dastkar Ranthambore, a not for profit organization based in Rajasthan, India. 


The pop of hot pink (now that’s what I call ‘mithai’ pink!) against the lightly burnt orange with the Ggrrrowly tiger motifs… I love this potli! 

Lookie here! The gifts keep on coming!

 
These amazing soaps are handmade in Pondicherry and smell sooo divine! They remind me those lotus filled pools in the palaces of yesteryears… now of course we live in a world of rationed water supplies with no lotuses. Such a tragedy but at least we’ll always have our soaps! Every girl needs a little everyday luxury!

And who are you foxy lady?  Now that is another post and another tale… stay tuned!
