Heather Bleu Home

Welcome,

This is a dream that I have put my whole heart into and continue to do so every day. I want you to walk in the door and feel at home and relaxed. I want an experience for you, more than wanting you to shop. Tranquil brazilian music softly plays in the background, while subtle notes of citrus and gardenia fill the air from our Capri Blue candles and Kai Fragrance products. You are free to take in the store at your own pace, knowing if you need us, we are nearby to help you find what you are searching for, or perhaps you just needed a dose of beauty to lighten your day. I'm looking forward to meeting you...

I'm an introvert/extrovert, and I love spending time with people almost as much as I love my quiet time at home in my garden with my husband, or listening to music, painting or reading. I need that quiet time to refuel my energy and calm my soul. I know many of you are as well. And I bet you get what I'm talking about. If I don't have the home time, I am no good for the outside world.

Clothes play a big part in this 'soothing of the soul' and 'quieting of the mind'. What we wear sets a tone for our mood and our feeling of comfort and self esteem. If you are meditating in tight jeans, you can bet that meditation will not be a successful one. It is like that, we clothe ourselves for our days, our moments. Make sure you choose something that is a vehicle for your mood and your chosen activity. Whether you are going to work, gardening, shopping with a friend or going for a walk. You want to wear something that you put on and don't have to think about after that. You want to feel comfortable, confident and ready for the time ahead without tugging at your top or pulling up your jeans because they aren't the right fit for your body. Clothing is an integral part of our lives. Let's enjoy both!

I just love this photo, It could have been me in my twenties but I'm happily in my 50's and gravity and three children would not make it possible for those daisies to cover me in such a cute manner. ;)

Oh, but the gift of an aging body. The gift of time and of stretch marks from babies and sagging breasts from pregnancy or nursing. Perhaps the past year stuck in our homes and eating through Covid. I've earned it all!

As much as we, as women, struggle with how we identify our beauty with our bodies has been so burned into us from birth. How do we crawl out from this? I can only share that my journey is a day to day flexing of a new muscle of self love and gratitude for what I have vs what I do not. Trust me, it is a battle that I think will remain at some level for the rest of my life. Some days I look into the mirror and think, "Hey kid, not too shabby!" Other days, I look and think, "Meh, I should drink more water today and, why am I so bloated...or, is that my belly?!" No matter the day, I think...at least I'm here to contemplate these ideas of beauty.

I am entering the stage of life that is of wisdom, and I'm working on sitting firmly in that space. A work in progress to be organically me; damn the wrinkles, witch hairs and silver hair shouting out it's proud arrival. I'm here, and I am so damn grateful for that!

So, what's your journey?...
