Tranquility DeJure, May 1st, 2011.

Bonjour and welcome to the 214th edition of Tranquility DeJure. Today's show features upcoming

happenings and radical self-love and all things sparkly with the beautiful gala darling.

So a heads up on a few upcoming workshops and retreats.

There's a lot of fun things happening actually in the D.C. area right around the corner.

And, of course, we have the Costa Rica retreat over 4th of July weekend.

So seven-day adventure, taking four days off work,

archilion workshop in Washington, D.C., a hip, tranquil chick retreat at Kripalu in Massachusetts,

and a few more fun things. And these are all in the show notes, which can be found at

tranquility-deajour.com.

And one really exciting piece is that the yoga and art retreat in Paris and Provence for May 2012 actually sold that in a week.

So I've scheduled a second week.

There's a second one added for June 7th through the 16th, 2012.

If you're interested in joining us, be sure to get your deposit in,

and there's a link in the show notes. Our featured Tranquilista, the lovely gala darling,

her unrelenting devotion to positivity and magic, has earned her cult celebrity status and

rabid fans all over the globe, from India to

Sweden.

Described in the New York Times as a web-tethered gadabout.

She was recently named one of the ten most influential style bloggers in the world.

She's been described as a tattooed Miss Manners, a downtown Carrie Brown, and a New York City Society gal.

Celebrity stylist and icon Rachel Zoh says Gala and her sight are Trey Sheik. She believes in pink lingerie, sequins, stardust, and candy-colored Cadillacs.
