The Face & Body Oil is amazingly moisturizing and smells fabulous...simply keep bottle in the shower, when finished turn the water off, rub on skin then pat yourself dry.

Cuero: Based off the Cuir de Russie scents of the early 20th century, Cuero follows in the footsteps of the androgynous classics while injecting the warmth of Texas and Mexico. Wonderful Men’s Scent as well.
Scent: bright citrus, soft florals, dusty woods, leather, smoke, vetiver
Green Vetiver: Timeless. Genderless. A heritage scent. An ode to a bygone era. A classic musky-citrus chypre.
Scent: pressed lime peel, citrus, coriander, vetiver, musk, moss


TX Lavender: Rolling vistas of the Hill Country, surrounded by vineyards and orchards. Fields of lavender growing in rocky soil. A callout to the savannah-like Spanish Dehesa in the heart of Texas.
Scent: bergamot, pressed lemon peel, dry cedar,
lavender


High Desert: A dusty trailhead scent. A night sky in West Texas. Like stumbling upon a summer watering hole in New Mexico.
Scent: spiced coriander, texas grapefruit, dusty cedar, trailside herbs, sage, additional dusty cedar
Cuero - Face & Body Oil & Green Vetiver - Face & Body Oil: This dry oil formulation lightly perfumes while providing moisture to skin. 


**Notes of dusty cedar, green wood, and smokey leather. To use, place a few drops on palm or cotton pad, apply over face morning and night to nourish and hydrate. Can be used on wet, post-shower skin as a moisturizer. This lightweight, dry oil was formulated to aid in moisture retention without leaving skin oily.

Health Benefits:
Copper drinking vessels have been utilized in Ayurveda for centuries. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that means “ the science of life and longevity ”. It is the ancient, holistic health system arising from the sages of India who were adept at observing their inner experience and bringing their mind/body/spirit into harmony with nature. As part of a daily routine or dinacharya, it is recommended to drink water stored overnight in a pure copper vessel first thing in the morning. Drinking this water upon waking washes the GI tract, flushes the kidneys and stimulates peristalsis. In Ayurveda, copper is thought to alleviate excess Kapha dosha and reduce fat. It is also a good tonic for the liver, spleen, and lymphatic system and helps in curing anemia.In modern Western medicine, copper is known as an essential trace mineral that helps with the formation of collagen. It also has antimicrobial properties and increases the absorption of iron in the body. Copper deficiency can cause an increased risk of infection, osteoporosis, impaired neurological function, and compromised growth.

Each Magnolia Pearl piece itself is a story. The kind you think you know inside-out, but find new details revealed with each telling. Snippets of fairy tales overlay Huck Finn imagery, bolts of myth underpin psychedelic legends, and beneath it all, within it, resides you, the most glorious story of them all.
Our garments are just along for the ride — pieces of thread and light, sewn summations of surrender, and dreams, with a poem on the sleeve.
***Artist Robin ‘Pearl’ Brown is the creative spirit behind the exceptional company Magnolia Pearl.

Peach Pie Thumbprint Cookies🍑🍪

Peach Pie Thumbprint Cookies
Peach Pie Thumbprint Cookies feature a shortbread type cookie with peach pie filling, drizzled with a yummy cinnamon glaze. A miniature peach pie, so delicious!
Ingredients
For the cookies;
1 stick butter
1 stick margarine
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 of a 21 ounce can peach pie filling or peach jam (Pick up at Bonnes Amies kitchen)
For the glaze:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS
For the cookies:
Preheat oven to 325°. Coat 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream butter and margarine with a hand-held electric mixer until fluffy. With a spoon, stir in powdered sugar, flour, and vanilla and mix until combined.
Roll into 2” balls and place onto cookie sheets.
Make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill with pie filling.
Bake 12-15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
For the glaze:
Sift powdered sugar into a small bowl. Add milk, cinnamon, and vanilla; mix until smooth.
Spoon into a plastic bag, snip off a corner and drizzle glaze over cooled cookies.
NOTES
When you add in the flour, powdered sugar and vanilla the dough seems as though it will never get mixed. Just keep mixing with a spoon and after a [little] while it will be the perfect consistency to roll into balls. If the peaches in the filling are too big just cut them into smaller pieces so they fit into the indentation of the cookies. Butter and margarine are not the same things. Butter comes either salted or unsalted and is called butter. (I used unsalted). Popular brands of margarine are Blue Bonnet or Imperial, and is usually called vegetable oil spread. Make sure you use 1 stick of each or they probably won’t turn out right. As you can see in the photos these cookies are very light.
