Creighton Edward Launches Madison, NJ Location

I literally almost had a stroke!

I don’t have much time for retail therapy, but one of my favorite haunts in the greater Seattle area was Creighton Edward. Housed in a little red barn, Creighton Edward was the jewel of Gilman Village… packed with luxe home furnishings and divine bath & body products.

When I dropped by after an abnormally long absence, Creighton Edward was no more!

There is a silver lining to this story, however. Creighton Edward will still exist. The gorgeous little boutique has simply moved across the country to Madison, NJ. The grand re-opening is planned for August 14th. As a native of northern New Jersey, it warms my heart that I will still get to visit my favorite little shop… even if it’s not quite as often. My son will surely insist that I re-stock the yummy candy-scented counter cleanser that Creighton sweetly gave him as a gift!

Brenda Novak’s Latest: White Heat!

brenda novak white heat ‘Tis the season for the beach read! Just in time to entertain sun-bathers everywhere, Brenda Novak’s latest: White Heat, will be launching today! Personally, I’m really hoping to have the opportunity to curl up with this romantic suspense novel. This book is the first of a three-part book series: White Heat, Body Heat and Killer Heat. Interesting fact: Brenda’s career was launched when she discovered her daycare provider was drugging her children to induce sleep. Horrific! Since ditching the drug-pushing nanny and staying home, Brenda has written about FORTY novels. She’s my idol!

So why is a beauty blogger writing about a novel? It just so happens that Three Custom Color Specialists will be launching a gloss in honor of White Heat today!

As a special gift with purchase, the first 50 online customers to purchase the gloss will receive a free autographed copy of “White Heat.”
