Mes Petits Plaisirs – January Favourites | Neom, Oysho, TePe & L’Occitane Reviews

January is my birthday month so I gifted myself a few things I really want to share with you!

In this “January Favourites” post I will share 4 items that have truly gifted me pleasure…and made my dentist very happy with me! You’ll see why;) ENJOY! And who knows, maybe one of my January Favourites will end up being one of yours too!

Petit Plaisir No.1 – January Favourites

L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil

l'occitane almond shower oil review A decadent body cleanser that is rich in almond oil and features a foaming oil-to-milk texture that leaves skin satiny-smooth.

I absolutely ADORE this shower oil! I have lived in a variety of countries and climates and each time tried to find a product that would give me smooth, silky, moisturised skin. Nothing really did the trick until this Almond Shower Oil.

I used to use high quality shower gels and then even higher quality (and higher priced) lotions and they worked a bit, but the next day my skin would be dry again.

This product lathers up slightly, just enough, and then, without leaving you feeling greasy, moisturises your skin.

Et voila! No need for any lotion, therefore saving you time and money!

Petit Plaisir No. 2 – January Favourites

2. TePe Floss Sticks (found in most pharmacies)

tepe floss sticks review

Are you constantly told by your dentist that you need to floss better? I was too! The only problem was that I was flossing diligently everyday!

Finally, one dentist introduced me to these TePe Floss Sticks – I’ve not heard a word since about my plaque!

After brushing at night you simply insert the floss stick between each of your teeth and voila! That’s it! (You’ll be surprised at what comes out, even after you doing a brilliant job at brushing!)

Choose the width of your TePe Floss Sticks to match the space between your teeth. The orange, slim ones work best for me since I have very little space between my teeth, but if you have larger spaces, it’s best to purchase the wider ones.

TePe used to make their sticks out of wire and brushes but have now switched to these NEW, almost silicon material. I much prefer these NEW ones as I found the wire ones bent too easily and lost their shape, making each pick a one time use.

Petit Plaisir No.3 – January Favourites

3. NEOM Organic Candles – Found on Amazon, Net-a-Porter, & Neomorganics.com

J’adore NEOM Candles! I could never find a natural, non toxic candles that didn’t give me a head ache…until I found NEOM candles that is:) I actually purchased 4 of them for my birthday earlier this month and I really am so pleased with them. happiness

The scents are labelled by how we desire to FEEL & what we desire to EXPERIENCE (in complete alignment with The Elegant Life Principles, right?)

Some of the names are: SLEEP, TRANQUILITY, HAPPINESS, DE-STRESS…

Their promise: 100% natural fragrances for the mind & body, made in Britain from ethically sourced, sustainable origins, only natural & organic ingredients, no petrochemical paraffin or mineral wax, no artificial perfume only pure essential oils and no harsh preservatives. My kind of company. Not to mention that the founder, Nicola, is a woman with a whole lot of Soul.

Petit Plaisir No. 4 – January Favourites

4. OYSHO Loungewear & Pyjamas

OYSHO is a beautiful Spanish clothing retailer specialising in women’s homewear and undergarments.

I came across them in Abu Dhabi 5 years ago when we were there on vacation. I am still wearing the nightwear and loungewear I bought as I just love them so much!

So, when I saw the OYSHO store here in Dubai I jumped at the chance to purchase more! I purchased these black satin pyjamas (to see me model them, watch the video above at minute 7:50) and three other items as I realised I had gotten back into the rut of wearing old, worn out clothes around the house, calling them my “cozies”. Can you relate?

Well, this brand is seriously the best brand around. They are high in quality, fit the body perfectly (as perfectly as any high end item would) and the prices are shockingly reasonable! I still cannot believe the price tag of these high quality items!

Have a look for a store near you. If you live in North America the only place I could find to purchase items was HERE.

Et voila! Ce sont mes petits plaisirs pour le mois de janvier. (Here’s some French for those of you who requested to hear more French from me:)

I’m very excited about February because it’s the month of LOVE – and you know we’re all about that here at The Elegant Life;) So… I have a petit surprise for you!

See you next week!

Love,

2 Ways to “LET GO & LET GOD” – Surrender Control

Have you every desired something SO much but found it almost impossible to “let go and let God” as everyone suggests?

Then this post is for you!

I am going to share 2 ways to practise the art of letting go and letting God. One is a mindset shift and the other is advice that I bet you’ve not heard before. (Psst…it a theme here on The Elegant Life:)

January is a month where everyone is focused on goals, dreams and DOING.

Plans are made, goal are being set, memberships to gyms are being bought, and the focus is on pursuing, trying and desperately wanting their desire to manifest.

I know this pattern well as it was my “go-to” strategy my whole life! Set a goal, make a plan, push, pursue, obsess…you get the picture! The energy I was giving off was one of desperation and lack – not very elegant and definitely not a high frequency for manifesting!

This is completely opposite from what I do now and teach my clients to do.

And…this is exactly what Buddha did before he experienced enlightenment and true happiness.

Many people know the story of how Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree and awakened, however not many people know WHY he ended up sitting under that tree. He was in the same trap I was in and perhaps you find yourself too?

Watch the video above, at minute 2:54, to hear the real reason Buddha sat under the bodhi tree.

2 Steps to “Let Go and Let God”

Step 1: Surrender.

As you can see from Buddha’s story, pushing, trying and pursuing does not serve us. We must understand the Elegant Principle of the Universe:

As soon as you state your intention, Divine Consciousness sets to work to orchestrate everything needed to bring you your desire.”

The problem arises, for most women, when they don’t see any change in their reality and thus start doubting, feeling down, and obsessing even more on trying to figure out “the HOW”.

Spiritual Women who live elegantly, instead, focus on just BEING & await Divine Inspiration.

Do not attach. I’ll repeat that, “Do not attach to the outcome”.

Should we even have desires? Yes! Desires are feelings and feelings come directly from your Soul, which is your connection to the Divine. So yes! You wouldn’t have those desires if you weren’t intended to experience them!

However, instead of obsessing, spend your time & energy visualising your dream. See it vividly, in the greatest detail. FEEL it. Then…

let go and let god

Step 2: Get on With Living Your Life (filling it with JOY & PLEASURE)

I know I know, I harp on this regularly, but trust me, it’s the secret of experiencing The Elegant Life!

If someone would have told me this years ago, when I was in the obsessing mode, I would have thought, “Yeah, easy for you to say!” It was only when I reached mental and physical exhaustion that I finally said,

Screw this! If success means I have to work this hard and be disappointed countless times then I don’t want it. I’m done. I’ll just do this as a hobby out of enjoyment instead of trying to make it a business.”

After I made that conscious decision I felt the weight of the world drop off me.

I began feeling my creativity come out more. I did things I was too scared to do before, out of fear it would “upset” my followers.

I felt the pleasure in what I was doing again- the same pleasure I felt when I first started that business!

And what began happening? Opportunities just flowed into my life like magic. Calls for interviews in top national and international magazines and newspapers, ideal clients coming to me from referrals...the list went on and on. I learned what Buddha did and I invite you to learn it too…

The more you let go and let god (aka surrender) the more you allow Divine energy to do it’s work and flow through you and your life.

All that obsessive energy will be gone as will the manifestation of things and experiences on that same frequency.

Instead, you’ll be resonating at the levels of PEACE & JOY which are just under that of enlightenment – levels that bring in high vibration, exquisite miracles.

Please share your stories of when and how YOU have “let go and let God” – I know it will help so many women.

Do you know there are certain areas of your life where you need to Surrender? Share those too.

Recommendation

If you would like a perfect way of focusing on your dreams the elegant way and feeling joy and inner peace now, then I highly recommend The 6 Phase Visioning Meditation.

How to Experience Luxurious Abundance – The Elegant Way

Are you desiring to EXPAND this year? Expand in abundance? Abundance of health, love, money, fulfilment or inner peace?

There is an incredible energetic shift that is creating great desires within women right now. Not just desires, but the momentum to move elegantly towards those desires.

If ever you desired expansion and abundance, THIS is the year Universal energy will support you even more to make that a reality.

Find out how in this week’s video!

Here’s How You Expand into Abundance

1. A desire is felt within you.

A Natural Law is that the Universe, and everything within it, is always expanding. Therefore, your Soul, being an extension of this Universal energy, innately wants to expand. The beauty is that your Soul knows what is in it’s “programming”, aka the natural talents, personality traits and abilities that you have, which could assist in the expansion of your Soul (Divine Consciousness).

The Soul then creates a feeling and often an image or vision inside of you which you could call a “desire”. Now the conscious part of you gets to use it’s free will and creativity!

2. Become extremely clear on what you desire – see & feel every detail.

The MOST important thing you can do to bring abundance of anything into your life is to focus on the EXACT details you desire. This is where your free will and creativity come into play. Do you desire to earn $10,000/month by only working 3 days a week? What are you doing exactly? Where are you working? What does it look like in that space? What are you wearing? Who are you working with? If it’s an abundance of health you desire then what do you see yourself enjoying? What are you wearing? Who are you with? How do you feel? What are you doing that you’ve never been able to do?

The Divine doesn’t care HOW you expand, because you are always expanding anyway, it’s a universal law, however, wouldn’t it be delicious if you got to create HOW you expand? I always tell my clients that your life is a blank canvas on which YOU paint. YOU get to decide what it looks and feels like. Isn’t this fantastic?

Here are some questions that you can answer to guide you towards creating your next expansion. You can also simply free write and allow it to unfold naturally.

abundance

3. Commit to focusing on this desire (in an unattached way).

This step is where most women go wrong. They don’t allow the Divine to gift them their desires because they remain too stuck in focusing on what IS (what they don’t yet have). I have definitely manifested something incredible in 30 minutes, 2 weeks etc. however some of my grand desires have taken 7 years! Not because it had to take seven years, but because I was constantly focusing on what wasn’t in my life that I desired.

There is absolutely NO WAY you can attract into your life something that has a high vibration if you are vibrating in a low vibration. It goes against every Universal law that exists.

Obsessively, I would read The Secret, The Science of Getting Rich, Think and Grow Rich etc. ( I had a library!) all the while feeling desperate that it wasn’t working for me.

I would become SO hopeful then SO depressed. Then I’d buy another book thinking it would be my answer.

In order for us to elegantly manifest abundance into our lives we require to live in JOY, focus on what we desire ( in great detail), and clear any negative emotions or limiting beliefs that are blocking our abundance and Divine light. That’s it!

If you desire a beautiful program that has changed hundreds of women’s lives simply by training them to live elegantly and manifest elegantly, then I highly recommend investing in The Art of Living Elegantly . This is your ticket to freedom, inner peace, pleasure, fulfilment and yes, the abundance of whatever it is that your Soul desires.

4. Create the feeling that the desire will bring you…now, in any way you can.

One of the fastest ways to bring abundance of anything into your life is to begin feeling the way you know you’ll feel once your desire becomes your reality. I noticed a big change in my life when I began doing this 7 years ago.

I desired to be financially prosperous so I got super detailed about what I desired. In fact I answered the 9 questions listed above.

After this I had more clarity on exactly which emotions I would need to focus on creating in my current reality.

One of the things I began doing was having tea in 5 star hotels so that I could simply FEEL abundantly prosperous.

I also made sure that I always had some money in my wallet, even it is was just £5. This made me feel like I always had money available.

How could YOU begin to feel the way you desire right now, in your current reality? Share your ideas in the comments section. If you can’t think of any great ideas, share your desire and your desired feelings and I will help you brainstorm.

I do this every day with personal clients so I have a good repertoire for a variety of desires!

Et Voila! Enjoy the process and commit to it!

It can’t work unless you follow through. (If you struggle with following through then I highly recommend you enquire about my 1:1 Couture Coaching. We can dive deep to discover what your blocks are and clear them once and for all using my Elegant Quantum Techniques.

How to Lose Weight & Keep it Off…The Elegant Way!

It’s a brand new year with a sense of wanting to restart, renew, or even re-invent ourselves. Am I right, Ladies?

Well, I suggest a slightly different perspective…I suggest clearing everything within us to get us back to what we REALLY are…an extension of Divine Consciousness/Source/God.

Why? Well, everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING that doesn’t have the feeling of Joy, Love, Peace or Abundance is out of alignment with what we are…yes, even extra weight.

Extra weight simply means there is energetic congestion in our body that requires clearing. Past experiences, memories, etc. have made us act in ways that sabotage us from having the body that feels best to our Soul – you know the one – the body you feel represents the REAL you.

So, are you ready to lose weight and energetic congestion?

Here at The Elegant Life, we have a beautiful, elegant process to help you lose any excess weight you may be carrying so that you can attain your best body and easily maintain it.

The Biggest Mistake Women Make in Order to Lose Weight

One of the biggest mistakes women make (I did it myself, so I totally “get” this!) is to collect diet books.

I know, I hear you saying, “But Erin, these books are showing people how to lose the excess weight which you say we need to release!”

Wellllll, most diet books stem from one concept…you’re not good enough the way you are.

And, the very reason you buy these books is because of the thought running through your mind, which is, “I’m not good enough the way I am, so I need to lose weight.”

So, by the Law of Attraction, the energy we send out to the Universe is, “I’m not good enough, so I need to lose weight!”

The problem here is the focus.

If you come at this issue of “needing” to lose weight because you’re not good enough, you will attract circumstances into your life that will perpetuate you “needing” to lose weight.

Here at The Elegant Life, our sole desire is to release any energetic congestion that may be blocking our alignment with Divine Consciousness. THIS is our focus.

It seems similar to the one above, but the energy between the two is completely different, and thus creates completely different results.

Ready to hear more? Watch this week’s video where I share WHY diets, programs and exercise regimes just don’t work longterm and how YOU can finally, once and for all, lose weight and maintain your best, most authentic body.
