Morgan Freeman’s voice is so powerful and full of knowledge that if he tells me I can live forever, I would say, yes sir. I would believe anything he says without any hesitancy or question… so of course, I’m going to watch his new documentary The Story of Us, coming out on October 11th…on National Geographic. In the documentary, Morgan Freeman travels the globe talking to regular fellows in an attempt to answer one fundamental question for humanity: what are the common forces that bind us together? See the trailer here.
I recently spent a weekend in Detroit, Michigan and while visiting one of the stores in the city I discovered Maison Louis Marie. A fragrance line formulated in Downtown LA but with a history rooted in France. Its founder, Marie du Petit Thouars is a descendant of the pioneering French botanist Louis Marie Aubert du Petit Thouars. I’m glad the store had run out of the line’s best seller perfume because it pointed me to Maison Louis Marie No. 02. Le Long Fond- perfume oil. It’s a roll-on perfume oil with the perfect fragrance, clean and organic…not sweet. “This scent is a savory mixture of hinoki wood accord underlined by notes of cedar wood and patchouli with a strong amber character.”
RXBAR protein bar. This may need some acquired taste unless you enjoy chewy stuff as I do. I love this snack because it’s low in calorie and ingredients and very tasty. The only-4-ingredients are listed right in the front package. It’s perfect to keep it in your bag for when hunger dreads you.
I’m always looking for pecan or pumpkin-flavored-everything during this season, you know, for when Starbucks pumpkin spice latte is not enough. So I was happy when I walked into Williams Sonoma a couple of weeks ago and found Pecan Pumpkin Butter. The consistency is not really buttery, it is more like a jam, and I like to eat it like a dessert by itself rather than with bread. I think I appreciate the flavor better like that. But either way, this is so delicious you’ll be yearning for more. Especially if you put it on ice cream…
