After a weekend spent on the shore, Girlawhirl just can't shake the sandy feeling out of her soul. Coming home to a sometimes stifling city apartment makes her yearn for her weekends at the beach that much more. Instead of daydreaming her summer away Girlawhirl's decided to do something about it. So she's bringing that been-at-the-beach feeling home with her with a little bedroom update… • The first step to a beach-bedroom update is of course the bedding. Choosing the right comfy duvet cover or quilt, or even both, goes a long way to giving her bed some summer appeal. To create a seaside feel, Girlawhirl goes right for soft whites and subtle blues. But really any washed, organic color helps her create the perfect summer mood.
• Once the bed's been made, it's time to dress it up a bit. And Girlawhirl finds no easier way to add a cool punch of color than a great assortment of throw pillows. So whether she decides to splurge on a new set or just cover-up her existing pillows with fresh new covers, adding some beachy style is a snap.
• With her bed successfully beached-out, it's on to the accessories. Since her city apartment is about as far away from the gentle sounds of crashing waves as she can get, Girlawhirl's settled on a beautiful Handcrafted Sea Glass and Driftwood Chime to send soothing sounds her way. And a fun reclaimed-wood picture frame or two adds to the seashore ambiance by giving her room that touch of typical beach house weathered beauty.
• Seaside-scented travel candles by La Source help lull Girlawhirl to sleep with soft summertime scents and into dreams of cool summer nights spent on the shore.

• And to carry that relaxed beach feeling with her all day, Girlawhirl indulges in the luxurious scents of Acqua Di Parma's Blu Mediterraneo body line. But when she's on the road – hopefully actually at the beach – and then back home again, her best don't-leave-the-beach-behind body care comes from La Source's Relax & Revitalize travel kit.
