Illume

Our Illume Spring/Summer line has now arrived!  

This is always a best-seller and one we reserve for this time of year. 

 Sugared Blossom makes a lovely Valentine's Gift.

It is available in the Laurel Jar Candle $34 and Boxed Hand Creme $20.

Coconut Milk Mango is the perfect spring and summer fragrance. 

Also available in the Laurel Jar $34 and Boxed Hand Creme $20.

It smells so good!  I must admit that when winter gets long I start burning this 

and wearing the lotion to surround myself with the scent of vacation.  

Guys love it, and it's perfect to pack on a honeymoon.

Thai Lily is another favorite for Valentine's Day.  The scent is so lovely 

and the packaging is in a beautiful shade of pink.  Available in a Laurel Jar Candle $34.

All of our fragrances also come in a Demi-Sized Hand Creme.  $10

Great for little teacher/friend gifts.

Exciting News!

We now offer Illume's newest fragrance that customers are raving about!

It smells like Anthropologie's famous candle.  

It's Citrus Crush.

I normally don't wear citrus fragrances, but I have to say, I am hooked!

Come in a sample it for yourself and you will see what all the talk is about.

Speaking of Anthropologie, this cleaner also smells like their infamous candle.  

It's just $1.59 and can be found here. 

 It was highly recommended by Tried and True Moms on Instagram.

Happy cleaning, Happy Wednesday and living your best

citrus-smelling life!

Forever Fleurs

Good morning and happy Monday!  

Sharing some of our silk roses that make a lovely Valentine's Day gift and will last forever.  

We have a large variety of flowers and floral arrangements in the shop this time of year.

I absolutely love having real flowers but it's too costly to constantly have them

in our home, so I also love a high quality silk flower.

I posted last week about getting an Instant Pot and have made a

few more recipes that I'll be sharing.

I learned it is better, if at all possible, to use it on a kitchen island

so it won't damage your cabinets from the steam.

Last night I made salmon and below are some of the health benefits.

I suppose once a school teacher always a school teacher.

Read more here from the Mayo Clinic.

Some of my best memories are at Hunter High School

where I taught health and dance.  It was a brand new high school

with new white boards and I was the girl disappointed not to get chalk.

Queen of Hearts

Our new Valentine collectibles arrived yesterday and they are going quickly!  

We are also happily re-stocked in our Valentine party fans, striped cups, and banners.

See here and here.

We are open today from 10-6 and would love to have you!  

The Beauty of Ted Baker London

Never in my wildest dreams did I think when my mom and I opened our shop 

over 8 years ago that someday we would carry my favorite designer from London.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome Ted Baker to Madeleine L' Amour.  

His lovely collection will be arriving soon!

There is a waiting list for those who share in our excitement.

Text (801) 232-3276 or message us on Instagram to have an item held.

You will receive a text the day it arrives.

Visit us on Instagram at madeleinelamour for additional photos.

We are chuffed to bits!

We will carry a classic men's journal (see below) and luxury pen (not featured)

in time for Valentine's Day gifts.  The quality is impeccable.

All You Need is Love

Love is all you need.

My favorite lipgloss is from NYX in the shade Merengue and it smells so good! 

I switch to a lighter lip color around Valentine's Day and 

I'll be wearing this one all throughout the spring.

Find butter lipgloss here at $4.99.  
And here for $3.59 (merengue is sold out, but eclair is just as good)

We have an exciting announcement coming later today on Instagram

and tomorrow morning on our blog.

Thank you for visiting!  Wishing you a lovely day!

Easy Valentine Table Setting and Dinner

Setting a Valentine's Day table can be a snap!

Just pull together some pink and red, add some hearts and chocolate, and voila!

Above: striped cups (set of 10) $12

heart napkins $6

For the actual dinner I recently used the Instant Pot for the first time.

Find it here.  It made dinner so fast, easy and delicious!

I referred to the Detoxinista for advice and recipes for using the Instant Pot.

Find her here.

It definitely helped me to also watch her tutorials on Instagram.

I'll share links to the recipes I would recommend once I've tried them.

This is going to be my new way of cooking.

My first meal was chicken teriyaki from La Creme De La Crumb.  Find the recipe here.

It was incredibly easy to follow for someone new to the Instant Pot.

My recipe note to self on this one is to press the quick release when

the cook time is over.  She recommends a natural release, but this took

quite a bit of time.  Another recipe I read said to quick release so that chicken

does not dry out.  (That noted: my chicken was not dry, but took an hour

and not the 35 minute cook time that was indicated)

I also got a rice cooker which I wish I would have gotten sooner.

My is from here and I love it!  Just $24.99 and cooked rice to perfection.

Wishing you a wonderful day!
