10.16.08Rescission Proof/ Humidity Proof Hair: Living ProofI am always SUPER skeptical when products claim to be "anti-frizz." I've tried just about everything... from Ouidad (sorry, not impressed), to Redkin, to my personal favorite (which is awesome because it's super-cheap) Garnier's Sleek and Shine Smoothing Milk . When I was told about Living Proof's Frizz Solution I was mildly intrigued... but, as I just mentioned, also super skeptical. I mean... how amazing can it be, right? I decided to investigate. I got two products, one for fine to medium hair and the other for medium to coarse hair. I generally fall in the later of the two categories, but ...

08.29.08Fit-Flops?As summer is winding down, I figured I better post about these before it's too late. I'm sure you've heard of fit-flops, but if not, enjoy! I know one person who has them and she swears they work.... your thoughts? 1. FitFlop midsoles incorporate patent-pending micro-wobbleboardTM technology, to give you a workout while you walk. Developed by Darren James and Dr David Cook at LSBU, the FitFlop's unique safely -tapered midsole places varying densities of EVA under your feet each time you step, to challenge the support and balance muscles of the foot and leg. ...

07.17.08Blooming Roses and Shimmery MineralsIf I remember my sophomore year philosophy class correctly, Plato was the one who said something about necessity being the mother of all invention. I will google that later to confirm... but for now I'll write about indie boutique, Blooming Rose (see, sometimes I do read e-mails from the top down). Blooming Rose- The House of Glam Rock is a new online boutique dedicated to the whole "glam rock" thing. Featuring only indie brands, the boutique caters to the woman who has that girly, yet edgy sensibility. "She’s fun. She’s a party girl. She’s also about business,” says founder Jennifer Rose. ...

06.23.08Do it Daily…I know it's bad, but I think about it more in the summer than I do in the winter... sunscreen. It's only natural with the warm summer sun and long weekends at the beach. Really though, I know I should be using sunscreen everyday. A lot of my favorite moisturizers now come standard with SPF 10 or 15... One of my very favorite's is Benefit Cosmetics' "Do it Daily" oil-free moisturizer. Not only do I smile every time I see the playful bottle, I appreciate the fact that the stuff is actually good for my skin (no oil plus SPF ...

05.22.08Supersample Your LifeIf you're here, you are either seeking art, a purveyor of art or, (most likely) both! The thing with art is, often times the harder you try, the less things end up looking like art. Like the best art is the stuff that happens by accident. I feel in love with supersampler's cute little camera one, because its a work of art itself (I love the cool design and super-smooth rubberized blue coating) and because this cute little device is all about that gorgeous, carefree, accidental art I love. Dubbed "The Queen of all multi-lensed cameras" the ...

05.06.08Super-Tuesday/ SupermandoliniAnother Super-Tuesday... without getting too political (check out Wonkette for that sort of thing), lets just say I'll be glad when this whole thing is over. That being said, when all is said and done, I hope our girl Hillary takes a seat. I'm definitely for Obama. Anyway, speaking of super-things, be sure to check out Supermandolini. Founded by two graphic designers from Thessaloniki, Greece, Supermandolini is a culmination of their love and passion for design. It started with a range of t-shirts and has branched out into a great collection of handmade goodies like necklaces, earrings, and a limited number ...

05.01.08Love Coffee? I do!It's May 1st, can you believe it? At least it's getting brighter and brighter in the mornings. Despite that I still need my coffee. Lots of coffee. In fact, my boyfriend always jokes that I'm married to my cup (actually he calls it a bucket) in the morning. It's only fitting that I love modern poverty's cup ring (pictured above). When holding the cup with all 5 fingers, the handle is conveniently located to fit your ring-finger to showcase the crystal "diamond" embedded into the gold "ring" colored handle. There's a cute little key spoon included as well. Definitely a ...

04.26.08Play it Again!Ahhhh the cassette tape. I remember back in the day when I'd sit around with my dual tape-deck and a stack of tapes (does that age me?) I spend hours making the perfect mix. It went something like: Janet Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Huston (pre-Bobby, of course), Debbie Gibson, NKOTB, Belinda Carlisle... anyway, those were the days. Leave to Jamie and Mark of j-me to bring back the good ol' 90 minute wonder. This time, the tape takes the form of an ingenious little tape dispenser! For about $25 you can give that is both practical and a gift ...

04.08.08Baby got (padded) backI told my co-workers I'm trying to keep my sense of humor this week. Along those lines, this post is for Alana. I told you they make booty underwear. In all honesty, there's so much I could say about this, I'm speechless. (For some interesting perspectives see Butt Seriously, The Rebirth of the Booty, etc.). Anyway, here's the skinny (that's the wrong word, isn't it?) from Booty Pop: "More women than ever are wanting the perfect behind - shapely, round and lifted. It is no longer about making the behind disappear. The attention that behinds are getting is due in ...

04.05.08Jammin’Finally! The weekend! I still have very mixed feelings about Urban Outfitters, so I was reluctant to write about these earphones (U.O. was the only place I could find them!)-- but they're just so hot! These rich, decadent oversized DJ headphones are designed by Boosted and are the ultimate upgrade for your personal sound system. They're compatible with mp3 capable cell phones and your iPod. They feature wide dynamic range with booming bass and low distortion. They have all the phone gadgets- including a slim profile answer/end call button and in-line microphone for use with mobile phones. Most ...

04.03.08Good in Bed/ Waffo maniacYesterday was one of those days where I literally couldn't do or say anything right. The worst part was, as I knew I was messing up as I was doing it, but I still couldn't help myself. It was like "word vomit" from the movie Mean Girls. The day dragged and dragged and by the time I got home I looked how I felt: exhausted. Recently, I received a sample of Presciptives Good in Bed and have been using it for the past week or so in place of my usual night cream (yes, I use night cream... after my ...
