LADUREE PARIS...Je Taime

As I sit here I am thinking about my last trip to
Paris over 5 years ago. I am wondering why I
haven't been back in so many years. I suppose
it has to do with owning my shop and not having
much time to travel overseas since moving to
Ridgecrest.

Thinking back to my last trip there I began to think
about what I did while I was there. Well as I remember
it I didn't really do much except eat! I didn't visit any
of the museums, famous dress shops, Eiffel Tower..nothing.
I did though eat lots and lots of baked goods, wonderful Ethiopian
and Indian cuisine.

But what I remember the most is the incredible tea, chocolate and desserts. They are the most memorable.
At the time I had never heard of this most special tearoom. It was by accident that I ran into this most amazing place. It was something out of a dream. It was like walking into the Jimmy Choo of tea and desserts.
It was so beautiful, elegant, clean, colorful in a classy way that only the French could pull off. It was like a museum of beautiful things that should not be touched just admired.









Just so you know this is no ordinary tea shop or bakery or pastry shop. Every detail is taken into consideration. The decor, the packaging, the lighting, the colors and the amount of sunshine that shines through. I even think they pay beautiful people to just sit in there all day long drinking tea and eating their deserts, because even the people look delicious LOL. Well ok maybe it was all that sugar going to my head and flowing through my blood.

So if by chance you find yourself in Paris this fall or winter please make sure to spend some time here.
Do bring lots of cash and an empty stomach.
P.S. I am looking into importing their teas.

We are Back!! Oh boy what a rush the last 5 days have been. We are tired, sore and stuffed after visiting NYC. We had a wonderful time finding all kinds of new products for the summer and fall. We just know you are going to be quite thrilled with all the new goodies that will be coming. Now, if you think this trip was all about work your wrong.

We ate and ate and ate. We started at the food show and worked our way through Manhattan and Brooklyn. We started uptown and worked our way down. I took lots of photos to share but please be patient.

I do want to give you a quick taste of what is to come. One of the products we are most excited about is the Hint natural waters. As many of my regulars know, I have been working on adding more and more natural drinks to the boutique especially since we added new spa services in the boutique. We always offer our clients and customers hot tea samples after having a treatment but since it is officially summer and tempartures here in the desert are about 100-108 degrees and rising we thought it would be nice to also offer more cold natural drinks.

We hope to have an order in by next weeks so just look out. Remember, if you remember to mention you read about a new product from our blog we will give you 15% off your first purchase.
