Many of you have likely seen this video of a Will Smith interview released on YouTube years ago. I like to watch it every once in a while for some great ‘nuggets’ of inspiration he conveys. Hope it inspires you as it does me!

Some of my favorite quotes from this video:

“We didn’t grow up with the sense that where we were was where we were going to be. We grew up with the sense that where we were almost didn’t matter because we were becoming something greater”.

“Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft. I have never viewed myself as particularly talented. Where I excel is a ridiculous, sickening work ethic. While the other guy is sleeping, I am working. There is no easy way around it”. “You need to dedicate yourself to being better every single day”.

“My dad said ‘Don’t ever tell me that you can’t do something’. You don’t try to build a wall, you don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say ‘I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built’. You don’t start there. You say ‘I am going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid’. You do that every single day and soon you have a wall”.

“I want to do good. I want the world to be better because I was here”. “If you’re not making someone else’s life better, then you’re wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better”.

“I believe that I can create whatever I want to create”.

“The first step before anybody else in the world believes it is that you have to believe it”.

“There is no reason to have a Plan B because it distracts from Plan A”.

“Confucius said, He who says he can and he who says he can’t are both usually right”.

“There is a redemptive power that making a choice has, rather than feeling you are at effect to all the things that are happening. Make a choice. You just decide what is going to be, who you are going to be, how you are going to do it. Just decidel And from that point, the universe is going to get out of your way”.

And one of my favorite quotes from the movie ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’: “Don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t do something, not even me, alright?. You’ve got a dream, you’ve got to protect it. When people can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you that you can’t do. You want something, go get it. Period”.

For the first time, we’re offering non-Vintage Body Spa products in the shop. I was introduced to Sassimi spa wraps and knew right away that they’d be a perfect complement to our products. The wraps are great to lounge around in, for after bath or after a swim. Easy to step in and out of – I can put it on after the shower, get ready for the day and step out of it without messing up my hair or makeup.

I have the Sicily wrap, which is a bamboo/cotton terry blend. Not only is bamboo eco-friendly, but it has natural antimicrobial properties. I wear this as often as I can; it is amazingly soft and comfortable and is holding up extremely well after multiple washings.

The quality is incredible and they’re made in the U.S.A. What more could you ask for?!?!?!? Sassimi spa wraps make great gifts for yourself or others. With the variety of styles, colors and sizes available, you’re sure to find one for everyone on your list.
