Spending our dollars joyfully…

According to Cultural Anthropologist Dr. Robbie Blinkoff since the beginning of our recession at the end of 2007 until now, we have moved from “me” based society to a “we” based one. He charts what consumers are looking for in one of his studies, “Coming of Age in the Great Recession”, which provides detailed insight into our post-recession attitudes and behaviors. As a society we now spend more rationally, focus more on balanced thoughtful transactions and look for more joy everywhere not just where we spend our hard earned dollars.

When I stumbled upon this information I was so pleased. I love the idea of our clients focused on joy and creativity and thoughtful spending. Bergamot’s ideals are based not so much on you acquiring “stuff” but more about enriching your lives. We want you to have an experience all your own where you feel the benefits of your service(s) now and over time. The creation of a relationship with each of you is so much more fulfilling and speaks to how we want Bergamot to grow into the future.

We are always interested in hearing from you. What would enhance your Bergamot experience? When you do spend your retail dollars what types of products would you like to see in our boutique? Let us know- email us at info@bergamotspa.com.

Spring is on its way…

SONG FOR SPRING

It's almost here - It's safe to say 
I saw a Crocus yesterday 
Its' colors bright - A lovely thing 
My heart Rejoiced! 'Twil soon be Spring!

The winter blues will soon be gone 
And birds will soon burst forth in song 
The coral bells will gently ring 
The Daphne yells "It's almost Spring!"

It's neary here! It's coming fast! 
The Robins will appear at last
Oh Wonderous Joy! I too shall sing! 
And join in Nature's "Song for Spring" 

M.Garren

(And what is more joyful then that?)
