Sidney says … if you are going to be single (or in a sex-less marriage) you have to know where to find the toys.

Stacey says … Sidney makes a lot of sense. I also like the much girlier G spot on Damen. And we both approve of Good Vibrations www.goodvibes.com if you prefer not to leave the house.

The Company Store

Sidney says … if you build it, they will come…make your bed over the top amazing, and see what kind of karma that puts out into the world for you.

Stacey says …amen, sister. I am known amongst friends and family as the Princess and the Pea, but do I care? NO. Because I have the comfiest bed ever, which means I am happy to be there, even when I am alone. This is the place I buy all my featherbeds, they have something for every budget, and they are very high quality.

L'Occitane

Sidney says … I swear by their incense and room sprays to provide lovely scent without being overwhelming.

Stacey says … I practically have a substance abuse problem when it comes to their products, my bathroom looks like it could be a L'Occitane storeroom. Things I can't live without: the shea butter hand cream, the Verbena linen water, the revitalizing gel for legs, the sweet almond liquid hand soap, and the green tea shower gel.
