Devon's Links and Picks 

This page includes some of my personal recommendations for books, music, jewelry and more, along with links to some of my favorite places! My goal is to use natural products whenever possible.  I have a background in Image and Color Consulting and my interests are in the areas of fashion and interior design.  I love candles (I make my own beeswax candles), soaps, lotions and oils. I enjoy mixing various perfumes and oils to create one of a kind fragrancesPamper your body with comfortable clothes, quiet moments and soothing beauty rituals.

Enjoy the Journey!
