What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
William Shakespeare
I named my blog Satin & Sand to represent the juxtaposition between the extraordinary, sensual, passionate, pleasurable, and especially the beautiful with the ordinary, mundane, sometimes gritty but necessary tasks of every day living.
Please join me as I embark on a new and exciting journey to discover how to incorporate more of the beauty aesthetic into daily living.
In the pursuit of beauty!
Joan
