Happy Wednesday dear friends, how are you?
It is getting very chilly here, which has me escaping to some of my favourite cafes for a little chic chat and cafe latte with dear ones.
Take a peek at my chic cafe latte "selfie." It is quite interesting how the term "selfie" made it into the dictionary this year and the definition of literally now seems something slightly elusive. Learn something new today and everyday as natural curiosity is so enchanting, n'est ce pas!
Next year what will be the latest buzz words, perhaps "effortlessly chic" - you heard it hear first (insert chessy wink here).

Lastly...
Thanks to a new chic companion JOLI COSMETIC SOLUTIONS something new to share with you dear friends is some exclusive information regarding organic beauty extract Tea Tree Oil. Also, with the holidays soiree season upon us, it is always good to have something new to chat about!
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is a natural alternative to many common antimicrobial chemicals. It comes from the crushed leaves of the tea tree, and has proven to be more than 10 times more effective at killing microbes than a common antimicrobial, phenol. It sounds too good to be true, n'est ce pas?
However, tea tree oil is produced in much the same way paint thinner is produced, by boiling the raw oil, and extracting only the most volatile component chemicals from the bulk. As a consequence, tea tree oil is not just good at killing bacteria, it is good at killing everything.
The American Cancer Society says:
“Tea tree oil is toxic when swallowed. It has been reported to cause drowsiness, confusion, hallucinations, coma, unsteadiness, weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach upset, blood cell abnormalities, and severe rashes. It should be kept away from pets and children.”
As tea tree oil is exposed to light, particularly UV light from the sun, oils break down into by-products that can causes rashes or allergic reactions, especially for people with sensitive skin. In this aspect, tea tree oil is very similar to mineral spirits (paint thinner) and turpentine.Tea tree oil is often used is cosmetic products to get a “paraben-free” claim. Not all paraben-free products contain tea tree oil, but it is something to look out for.
Hope you will have a wonderful week dear friends
