• As owner of suburban boutique/bistro embrace, Lynette Lovelace mastered the art of catering to different palates, stocking an array of chic clothing, fab home accessories and utterly adorable gifts. After recently converting embrace into an online only shop, she’s turned her keen business sense toward lifetherapy, a new lifestyle brand created and developed by Lovelace herself. But while this energetic entrepreneur wears multiple hats right now, Lovelace is always aiming to keep things simple.

• The lifetherapy brand launches with an apothecary line, including pulse point oils and hand creams. Decadent yet simple scents include “vacation” (coconut, white orchid and sandalwood), “play” (red orange and jasmine) and “escape” (pineapple and gardenia).
