SAY WHAT?! : AQUARIUS GIRL GIFT GUIDE

We are in the age of the Aquarius! While everyone is a bit wound up over Mercury in retrograde, we can't forget to celebrate some of our favorite people in the zodiac this month.  Lots of the closest girls in my life are Aquarius, but what do they all have in common...nothing! Except for being visionaries with humanitarian purpose, the Aquarius is notorious for being unique and a non-conformist which makes a gift guide to please all nearly impossible. However,  we found a few things made from companies working towards a cause that may just work for the girl like no other. Lets get weird.

1. Beeswax Aromatherapy Candle Tin-  Unlike other candles that are made with paraffin, beewax is 100% natural and actually cleans the air by emitting purifying negative ions. Since our girls are an air sign, lets keep it clean with this eco friendly hand made candle. $5 etsy

2. Cabana Stripe Notebook- No matter her style, every Aquarian needs a notebook to write down her next big game plan in. Sugar Paper, Los Angeles makes our favorite notebooks and with a motto "being more than just luxurious stationary. It is a statement of about one's individual style" how could we go wrong. $18 Sugarpaper 

3. Swimmers by Lou Taylor-  For the water bearer , this limited edition Giclee print of swimmers. $50 bigcartel

4. Harvest Moon Flower Bouquet- A mix of orange and pink mini calla lilies, these flowers are shipped direct from an eco-friendly, sustainable farm on a volcano in South America directly to the birthday girl. Say what?! $50 thebouqs

5. Adia Planter -These uniquely shaped planters are crafted in the Nakawa region of Uganda and made exclusively in a fair trade environment . $65 thecitizenry

6. Reformation's Literally Sweatshirt- Because the Aquarius girl is a lot of things but basic isnt one of them. She doesnt like Taylor Swift, she usually avoids Starbucks, and she definitely will not talk to you about last night's Bachelor episode. She also hates the term basic...therefore would love this sweatshirt. Literally. Does that make sense? Reformation is not only known for their non basic clothing, but also their use of recycled fabrics and garments. Upcycle! $118 thereformation

7. Abbot Kinney Wrapping Paper- This wrapping paper is just cool and non predictable  Made from re-purposed butcher paper, originally used to protect a table from paint splatter. $8  wrappedla

JUST PERFECT : VIRGO GIRL GIFT GUIDE

 The sun moves into virgo tomorrow and so comes a month of birthdays to several awesome friends.  Horoscopes may not be the most sensible guide to living  but it is uncanny how my virgo friends do share a few traits.   All of them are so organized, super detailed and stylish perfectionist which make them good at pretty much everything they do and the most sane people I know. Virgos could be a girls best friend, especially when you need a hand to get your feet back on the ground, practical advice, a personal stylist and help making those cookies slightly better frosted.    So what to get the Virgo girl?!
