Get in gear with lavender soap, a new playroom and glam rings

LAVENDER LATHER

Pamper yourself with a trio of handmade soaps from Lather featuring unique blends of lavender. The soaps in oatmeal lavender, rose tangerine lavender and lavender lime, come with a bamboo wood soap dish which helps the soaps last longer by allowing them to dry after each use. The set costs $23 ($30 retail value) at Lather.com.

PLAYROOM FOR THE AGES

IKEA has introduced a new series of small furniture and storage perfect for the playroom. The Flisat series is made of pine and suited for children ages 3-12. Items in the collection are designed to grow with the child, such as the desk ($70) which can be tilted and adjusted to three heights or the doll house ($30) which can be converted to wall storage or a display solution when children outgrow it. Some Flisat products are compatible with the popular Trovast boxes and will help you create a range of storage solutions. Prices for the collection range from $5 - $70. It is available at Ikea, Atlantic Station, 441 16th St. NW, Atlanta or online at www.Ikea.com.
