{French Côté Bastide FLEURS D'ORANGER Toilet Water, Bath and Shower Gel}

If there is ONE blossom that is like pure perfume, it is the Orange Blossom or in French: FLEURS D'ORANGER! No wonder that the people from the renown French Côté Bastide company have used it in their line of products for years on end.

• Do you love to enjoy a bubble bath in the fall and winter time? 
• What is YOUR favorite flower for fragrance?

Here they are together in the sunlight...

Côté Bastide FLEUR D'ORANGER Gel Moussant or Bath & Shower Gel and Eau de Toilette or Toilet Water

It is such a heavenly scent!

When our orange tree (in a pot) blooms outside on the greenhouse patio, one would love to bury one's nose in them. But be careful; those orange trees have mean thorns!

Far better to take the perfume from such a 6.6 oz or 200 ml bottle of Toilet Water.

• Works also great for spraying on freshly laundered and ironed bed linens for creating a romantic touch in the bedroom...
• As we learned from our consulting work in Asia, after dinner it is a great gesture for offering wet, rolled up wash cloths that are sprinkled with this Toilet Water... 
• A total of three of those Côté Bastide FLEURS D'ORANGER toilet water bottles are available at my Zen Cart powered on line boutique Mariette's Back to Basics: French Côté Bastide FLEURS D'ORANGER Toilet Water. 
• My pricing is VERY compatative as you can see when comparing to stores you find below my post.

Sorry Sold out...

Those blossoms are also full of pollen for the bees.

Have you ever tried orange blossom honey?

Also available for sale at my Zen Cart powered on line boutique are two Côté Bastide FLEURS D'ORANGER Bath & Shower Gel bottles of 24 oz or 750 ml.

Wish such a blooming season could be extended over a three month period!

All we can do is, enjoying it from the bottle...

{Miami Hyatt House & Date Palm}

The Hyatt House Miami Airport does have quite a garden. Even on rainy days there is always a dry moment for taking a nice walk around. This is how we did discover those tall, Phoenix dactylifera or Date Palm.

These Date Palm trees look quite Regal...

Zooming in on the Date Branches where those Dates are ripening...

Blogger friend Ria from 'It's Me' does sell those Date Branches from their store in The Netherlands, see link below post.

Quite a sight those Date Branches against the sky... 

However not a blue sky, but pregnant with rain.

The Hyatt House Miami Airport has quite a number of Date Palms on their property.

{My 30 Years of FRIENDSHIP with Natacha}

My FRIENDSHIP with Natacha is one of over 30 years and we have always managed to visit each other, also after she moved away from Dublin, Georgia to Miami, Florida. Distance doesn't really matter!

Rain or Shine; when we went to Miami Florida we did visit each other!

From our Hyatt House Miami Airport it is only half an hour driving south to Natacha's home.

Here we are, happy together once more!

Wearing my very beautiful 925 silver pendant with Brown-Red Zirkon on a black silk necklace  with small Zirconia on the bale and around the Zirkon crystal. GIFT from Georgia in Greece from Armoniaart.blogspot.com

Life is ALL about FRIENDHIPS...

When we first traveled to Curaçao for our sun filled vacation; we met Natacha at Miami Airport!

That meant 'Sunshine', even before arriving at our Curaçao beach hotel...

Before moving from Pennsylvania to Italy, we managed to fly down from Philadelphia via Cincinnati to Miami to visit with Natacha and family again...

Happy times!

Happy FRIENDS!

You can read more below post via link about our EVERGLADES ADVENTURE

Natacha and family did drive up from Miami, the ten hour drive to Dublin when we were constructing our present home... We were working and living in Indonesia.

FRIENDSHIP MATURING...

Dinner in Miami after their second son graduated from University of Miami.

We did drive down the ten hours again for being together.

Coincidence that both of us did wear our HEARTS...

I wore my Escada cotton top.

FRIENDS through THICK & THIN...

This was a visit right after I got out of the hospital when I got paralyzed early 2010.

We stayed in Miami and visited our FRIENDS before driving down to Key West to stay at the Hyatt Key West Resort and Spa where we spent 5 FREE nights for our Hyatt Platinum Points.

Wearing my Escada matching outfit...

Our previous visit to Miami was in June of 2012 when we visited Friend Natacha and her family last...

We at that time said our final goodbye to their handsome eldest son Carlos, or Carlitos as we always called him.

He lost a brave battle with brain cancer.

So this visit was one of those moments that we shed some tears together...

Tears shed on a rainy day and after the Evening Social at the Hyatt House, we did stroll through the gardens... 

Ending an emotional day.

A rather gloomy ending of the day, walking in the damp gardens...

Wearing my special Gift from Georgia in Greece with my burgundy Escada top and gray Last Call Neiman Marcus Outlet jeans with Georgia Rebel Flag belt and Escda sandals.

My favorite back pack from TJ Maxx is so handy!

Guess what?

Next day we had SUNSHINE so we finally could swim and relax around the pool!

Like a sign from heaven!
