I recently found another great storage option which may work well for light item cosmetics. A big nail polish collection may be too heavy for any Snapware Snap ‘N Stack product to support so I wouldn’t recommend it, but brushes and cosmetic sponges would be fine. *Photocredit: Snapware
Rebecca Minkoff’s & Lanvin’s Cute Crossbodys
I’ve been loving crossbody bags recently for the obvious reasons (hands-free option and when a big heavy bag isn’t preferable). They are great for date nights (especially theater nights) and when you need to carry only necessities for classes or on errands. Here are two favorites of mine: Rebecca Minkoff Classics MAC Crossbody Clutch: “Oversized …
Lush Review: Black Cat Bath Cocktail
Luscious purple bath, mildly sweet, mostly soft-scented herbals =) A great treat for yourself after your Hallow’s Eve candy-giving duties has been fulfilled. A few years previously we literally had over a hundred trick-or-treaters knocking on our door (13 bags of candy worth). Cobweb Bath Ballistic: Sweet, mild herbal scent.

Holiday Pie Embellishments
Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! Happy New Year!!! I spotted these lovely piecrust cutters in the holiday edition of Williams-Sonoma’s catalog and was instantly inspired!

Hair Barettes & Clips Addicted, I’m Afraid ;)
I usually wear my hair long (keeps my neck warmer during the wintry months) although I’ve been known to get the occasional pixy cut for summer. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with hair barrettes and clips; always on a hunt for the pretty but sturdy few. Claire’s, Icing, and …
Blast from My Past: Love’s by Dana Fragrances
Remember Love’s fragrances and Jean Nate (still made) bath products? I definitely do. They were typically offered as game prizes e.g. spelling bees and the like at my elementary and junior high school. I thought it was the coolest thing back then and have very fond memories of that time overall. I walked into a …
Alterna’s Ten Duo
I ordered the shampoo and conditioner duo via sample sale recently since I’ve been trying to get my hands on them for the longest time. Nice packaging but sad to say, this is not going to be much of a positive review: Alterna’s 10 Science of Ten Shampoo: Good consistency. So-so scent compared to other …
My First Bonsai Project
My first bonsai was a Christmas gift juniper from my husband’s relatives. I would love to switch out my current blue ceramic pot (pictured below) with a 5.5 in-6 in The Intelligent Plant Light/Timely Lighting Care pot. Following a re-decoration similar to my friend’s potted plant (also pictured below). I prefer a traditional ceramic bonsai …
Alternative Apparel & Allison Sudol Collab
Allison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy recently tweeted about her collab with Alternative Apparel (which produced three lovely designs; bear, tugboat, and tree). On closer examination, I think this project was back in August 2011 and in very limited supply. I ordered the tee with the cute tugboat design (the only one left I was …
