Mail!

We live in a world where people no longer write letters by hand, and even the phrase for sending mail has a negative connotation: snail mail. You even have to lengthen the amount of time it takes to say the word snail. Snnnaailllll mail. 

Because of this, it is always a treat and almost an adrenaline rush to hear the sound of your doorbell and find the mailman/woman on the other side of your door. Even though the package I received today was an expected one, this did not dampen my excitement. 

Here it is in all its glory:


It even had a sweet note from my boss attached to it! I think its always simple things that you don't expect (like this bright coloured note) that seems to make my day. And being an intern that I am, this is actually really unbelievable! :) 

Having seen the product photos multiple times, I expected a plain black box, but it came nicely wrapped in pretty pink tissue paper. The cherry on top was absolutely the pink ribbon and the overall presentation of it all! This is saying a lot since those of you that know me, know that I am a sucker for packaging and have been known to buy products based on the packaging alone. (Yes I know, tsk tsk) 

For those of you have that have been wondering, or wasn't aware of this, but this company's name is pronounced as silk. Why this name you say? If you actually asked this I'd have to LOL at you. Their website just recently came online and you can check it out yourself at http://www.cilque.com. All their items are 100 percent silk, from their different coloured pillowcases to their bed sets. The intriguing thing to me about their company besides its benefits to beauty, is the products named after desserts like how brown is not just brown, but Belgium Chocolate, and white is not just white, it's Creme Brulee! Sweet!
