    Inspired by a friend's shiny new pair of Jeffrey Campbell stacked heels in the most refreshing shade of mint, I got to thinking. Who says pastels are only suited for your Easter basket? We tend to associate pastels like eggy yellows and dainty pinks with the early springtime, but what's more summery than a bowl of mint ice cream or a cloudless blue sky or the aqua tint of the ocean on a perfect day at the beach? Creamy cool tones are about as fresh as colors come and are the perfect calming, crisp alternative to obnoxious 90s neons. The stars predict warm weather ahead, so surrender to the the summer spirit and get your hands on some cool-toned pastels! For example, Leos can swap their trusty LBD for a more daring satiny spearmint number and Libras will ditch their old wayfarers for a fun pair of lavender-hued frames. Check the slideshow and see if your sign is destined to don lilac, aqua, or mint!

    Lately I have become somewhat of a hermit at night. My close friends were the first to take notice. And after a dozen or so rejected invitations to dinners and movies, how could they not? They were suspicious of my new time-consuming nighttime activity and questioned my whereabouts. But when I finally unveiled where I had been spending my evenings, it was a bit anti-climatic. No, there's no new boyfriend, no scandalous activities. I have simply become addicted to nightly baths. What was once a childhood activity filled with barbie dolls, laughter and candy scented bubble bath, has transformed into the perfect way for me to unwind after a long day. I love everything about baths, from the drawing of the water, to the smell of my lavender soap, to the way the whole bathroom turns into a sauna with steam. They are calming yet invigorating, and afterwards I feel oh so clean and refreshed! So, I scoured the Hive for items I would include in my perfect bath. My dream bathroom setting would be mostly romance-themed, but with whimsical accessories. I'm a fan of the modern style tubs, but my dream for claw-feat overpowers my desire for contemporary. My bath would also be sure to include an assortment of handmade organic soaps and scrubs, in a fun shapes and indulgent smells. So spoil your senses with a bath tonight! And be sure to check out my SLIDESHOW for some finds from the Hive that are sure to take bathtime to another level!
