A few weeks ago, Mina, from the website MiniPiccolini asked me to share with her readers my top 10 favorite things for wives. Below are my favorite things every wife should have in her life.
1. William Sonoma – A wondrous playground for any wife who loves to cook in her kitchen. This charming store provides tools to make preparation easier, cooking classes for those who want to learn, and inspiration around every corner for those looking for creativity. www.williamsonoma.com
2. Mrs. Meyers – Every wife should have an eco friendly conscious when shopping for her household. Enter Mrs. Meyers… A collection of household products with essential oils from flowers and herbs that pack a real punch against daily dirt and grim. From dish soap to laundry detergent to window cleaners Mrs. Meyers brings a powerful clean and a garden fresh scent to your home. All their products are earth friendly, bio degradable, non toxic and never tested on animals. www.mrsmeyers.com
3. Emily Post Etiquette Book – Every wife should always carry herself like a true lady. Emily Post’s discourses on etiquette is said to be one of the most useful reference books published, next to a dictionary, a thesaurus and a world atlas. The new edition has discussions on perennially necessary topics, such as where to place a soup spoon when setting a formal table and whether one may wear white after Labor Day (the answer is yes). This integration of new material with old, showing respect and consideration for others while placing a premium on honesty, graciousness and deference. It also serves as a reminder of how individual choices may affect others and how easy it is to choose—words, wardrobes, gifts and actions—more wisely. $27.00 on Amazon.Com
4. Stationer – Every wife can benefit from a very creative and talented stationer. While I take my services to Jonathan Wright and Sugar Paper in Los Angeles, They are always there to help with last minute gifts and an abundance of greeting cards for every occasion. Your stationer can also aid you in the designing all of life’s celebrations from wedding invitations to birth announcements to personal stationary for thank you notes. Jonathan Wright 7404 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90036 323 931 1710; Sugar Paper 253 26th Street, Brentwood, California 310 451 7870
5. La Perla – Just like the age old saying “A lamb in the kitchen and a tiger in the bedroom.” What better way to inspire a healthy and consistent sex life with your husband than with luxurious lingerie from La Perla. Every man can appreciate his wife coming to bed in a flirtatious silk night gown or something else a little more provocative. www.laperla.com
6. Barney’s & Net a Porter.Com – No matter what your style, favorite designer, size or occasion your shopping for, you’ll most likely find what you’re looking for at either place. Netaporter.Com is perfect for wives who prefer shopping online and want it delivered right to your doorstep without any hassle. And like a kid in a candy store, Barney’s is always a fun excursion even if you just happen to be just browsing. www.netaporter.com; www.barneys.com
7. Dr. Lancer – Every wife needs a fantastic dermatologist in her life whether it be for a facial or for a quick little nip and tuck here and there. Dr. Lancer offers state-of-the-art care in aesthetic, cosmetic, medical and surgical dermatology. He also has grown his practice into a trusted and recognized brand of his own exclusive products to help people with every skin type achieve a radiant glow and confidence in their own skin. His clients fly from all over the world to receive his unique, cutting-edge treatments. 440 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210, 310 278 8444
8. Elemis Spa – Every Wife who runs a house and takes care of her family is always in need of some “me” time. Elemis Day Spa in London is by far my favorite spa in the world. From the time you walk in the door and are given a complimentary smoothie (ask for the mango & passion fruit) and whisked off to your first treatment, you’ll be melting in relaxation. Be sure to try the “Float” Treatment and pick up a bottle of their “Frangipani Monoi Body Oil,” great for after baths or at home massages. 2-3 Lancashire Court, London, England W1S 1EX +44 (0) 0870 410 4210
9. Bar Method – Looking for an effective workout… Well look no further. The Bar Method™ workout creates a uniquely lean, firm, sculpted body by combining the muscle-shaping principles of isometrics, the body-elongating practice of dance conditioning, the science of physical therapy and the intense pace of interval training into a powerful exercise format that quickly and safely reshapes and elongates muscles. It might be a little pricey, but it’s worth every penny spent! www.barmethod.com
10. iPod Touch/iPhone – I cannot even tell you how many uses this tiny little device serves up. I love music and believe every house needs a good playlist, whether you’re cooking, exercising, cleaning and or entertaining. Also iPod’s are great for taking your music from your home to car. The Instagram App is great for taking unique and fun photos of family and friends. Not to mention the other thousands of helpful apps, especially the ones that are great for entertaining small children in restaurants or airplanes. $229.00 – $399.00 at www.apple.com – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE

Totally agree with the majority of this list, don’t know what I’d do without my iPhone or Mrs. Meyers to make my kitchen smell delightful
Thank you for including a stationer’s in this list! I just moved to the area and am grateful for the recommendations—I look forward to perusing their supplies.
Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be
on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
Dear Mrs. Good wife,
Do you have an Instagram we can praise?
Yes… Thestepfordwife
