if you find that you scalp is often tight and dry, you may want to start incorporating scalp massages into your routine. scalp massages are relaxing and soothing and a great way to wind down your day or prep for a steamy shower and deep conditioning session. scalp massages can also be a bit boring and tiring if you have your hands up in the air too long, so this is a great time to got your significant other involved – you sit back and enjoy while they get to work!

this coco chanel no. 5 inspired scalp massage oil is fragrant but not overpowering and it’s also very relaxing and sensual. ylang ylang essential oil is a very feminine and strong and sexy addition – it’s even in the popular chanel no. 5 perfume.

to make up your own batch of coco chanel no. 5 inspired head massage oil, in a small bowl combine:

2 table spoons coconut oil
2 table spoons avocado Oil
2 table spoons extra virgin olive oil
5 drops of ylang ylang essential oil

mix well. you can warm this oil by putting it over a low burner for 30 seconds to one minute. be careful and make sure it does NOT BOIL and do not warm in the microwave. DO NOT APPLY HOT OIL TO YOUR SCALP. lukewarm and comfortable to the touch should be the goal. once you get it to this temperature, immediately apply to your scalp to start your head massage.

are you a fan of the soothing properties of ylang ylang? do you use it in your hair and body mixes?

chanel my belle. how i love thee and how not everyone can afford thee. thank goodness for the ability to not patent style!

can you image it that were possible? only the rich would be walking around not looking like a fashion don’t!

quilted handbags are synonymous with style, class and grace. because of their versatility, they can also be worn with boots and the ever-so-popular studs and spikes of this season. you can thank the strappy chain that normally comes with these bags for that!

we can’t all afford chanel, and even if we could, who wants to constantly drop mortage payments on handbags? i see nothing wrong with buying bags that are just as fun and sassy, but still hold their own in style and fashion as an inspired bag.

but i’ve got to say, choose wisely as you don’t want your bag to look cheap. because quilted bags are a derivative of chanel, it’s important that you pick a bag that is well constructed and done in a great color.

who wants a quilted bag that is tearing up a few days after wear? though i’m always down for a deal, i’m more down for a quality deal!

if you want to play it safe, try the quilted look out in a neutral color; and of course, if you want to go black, you can’t go wrong! but pinks and reds are fun too and can add a little snap to your style!

a quilted handbag will give your wardrobe a definite boost of professional swag if you’ve been looking for a handbag that screams business woman. paired with a chic suit or skirt and cardigan set and topped off with a leather jacket like kat perry’s ensemble is a great way to wear a quilted bag.

but i think it’s even better to wear the bag in any fashion you feel when the bag is fiyah and the price is right. all of the bags featured in this post are under $50! some half that! so you can finally pick up a bag that you can rock without feeling like you took a hit to the pocket book!

and for my clutch ladies, there are always options for you too. fun quilted textures like these two options in bright orange or green are sassy and can be worn night or day. click on any bag to learn more.
