• I DESERVE this

  Zovo

  16 December 2008

  Is it beauty you seek? Then behold the essence of something that is not obvious…embrace it’s unique and organic origin. Stand in the light. What is before you is greater than the mortal being. The image staring back at you is much more precious. Feel the feelings that emanate from the deepest depths of your soul. This is your beauty. It is enduring. It transcends the physical being. See it manifest in those whose lives are touched. What ignites your passion and desire? What sustains your confidence, your independence and compassion? Where will the path of self-discovery lead you? Zovo. Those who look for beauty, find it. These are the words looking back at me as I unwrap my new mercerized cotton wrap from Zovo. Excitedly I run to the bedroom, I open the windows and let the cool winter breeze surround me. I undress, and then, taking my time envelope myself in unbelievable comfort. The cotton feels like a second skin. It’s warm and feels as though it were expertly tailored to my body. It’s a Thursday, unfortunately; because it’s a work day. I have visions of myself lounging all day, falling deep into a novel by my favorite author. Maybe I should call in sick, pull the plug on the phone and make myself a cup of tea. It is so tempting; this new loungewear is so tempting. Perhaps if I dress it up a bit, jewelry, handbag and stain flats…just maybe I could get away with wearing it to work today. Finally, I decide to take time for myself. When was the last time I did that? I can’t recall. I feel giddy, like a school girl explaining how the dog (or in my case a cat) ruined her essay. I call in, they understand, the flu is horrible this season. Finally, no worries, no excuses, no phones, no t.v. I DESERVE this. And I think to myself that this was the best investment I have made in a long, long time. What else could you do or buy that would comfort you soul, erase all worries and completely and forever change the way you look at yourself in the mirror. I have decided that I need more, I don’t just want more, I NEED it. This is the beauty of a Lovemark, this is the beauty of Zovo. What an impact this young, impressionable, irresistible and utterly beautiful brand has made on me. Part of me wants to keep this incredible Lovemark to myself, a secret. Then I realize that it NEEDS to survive, it needs to flourish, and it needs to BE. So, I will share and suddenly I have transformed from a selfish consumer to a spokesperson and cheerleader for the brand. I am Sheri and this is my Lovemark.

  Leonard Cohen

  I can recall even now the sound of his voice resonating from the kitchen where my mother was cooking. Now, 20 years later Leonard still resonates from the kitchen, only this time it's my kitchen and I'm doing the cooking. I turn up the volume, drown out the noise of the rain and sing outloud. My first "adult" experience of Cohen was when I read his book 'Beautiful Losers'. I can and still do open the book to any random page and am instantly pulled in. His writing is incredible. I am so enamoured of him that quite frankly I am at a loss of words as to what to say except...Hallelujah!!
