Recently something made me think of My Little Pony (btw, special post in the making on this topic); probably a longing for simpler times. In the early ’80s, my sister and I were both given MLPs by our parents as Christmas? gifts. She had Firefly (pegasus) while I chose Glory (unicorn). They were some of …
The World of Sanrio: After All These Years…..
I began collecting stickers at age 8 and show no signs of stopping =). I’m also nuts about Sanrio’s stationery and organizer re-fills (too bad they aren’t that easy to find for me). My parents used Sanrio as an incentive for me to do well in school. Maybe not the best idea but it definitely …
JCrew’s Galaxy Tote
So gorgeous is this tote! It has been repeatedly re-stocked and then sold out despite its crazy price tag. I was wishing for it to go on sale =) Below is JCrew’s description for their navy tote… “A bag to end all bags (and the one every girl in our office is drooling over), combining …
Pressed Leaves Aromatherapy Diffuser
I missed out on this pretty Gaiam aromatherapy diffuser =(. I believe at one point it was part of a lovely tea set and then was sold separately. Just waited too long and forgot all about it. Such is the mind that’s filled with so many trivial preoccupations. Below is a product description as was …
Flirty Little Secret: Booty Parlor’s Pink Caviar Scrub
I love Booty Parlor’s beauty products! The scents are always true to the way they smell in their containers and are long lasting yummy fragrances which are never overwhelming. BP recently introduced their Pink Caviar Scrub and I have to admit that I can’t wait to try it! “Flirty Little Secret Pink Caviar Scrub is …
The Amias Project: The Barabaig Tribe of East Africa
I found out about the Amias Project and the Barabaig tribe about two years ago as a result of a Google search for something relatively unrelated. Below is an excerpt from the Amias Project website about the organization, their mission, and the Barabaig tribe: “For centuries, the nomadic Barabaig tribe of East Africa has roamed …
Leigh & Luca Totes: Love at First Sight & My Go-To Type of Bag
I fell in love instantly with Leigh & Luca’s canvas totes. I first saw them offered on Gilt. I opted for the pretty dragonfly one. I was so happy when it finally arrived and couldn’t wait to carry it straightaway. They are great everyday bags and my go-to type of bag for traveling (that and …
Coach Poppy Embossed Exotic XL Spotlight Tote
My first Coach love was a brown and tan woven wool signature logo mini tote (shown in an advertisement with the matching kitty heels). Unforgettable in my mind… I never found the kitty heels but I was fortunate enough to find the mini tote. I guess from 2001 to 2006, I was pretty much obsessed …
TokyoMilk
I recently saw this brand carried by TracyPorter.com and the New York Botanical Garden gift shop. If it wasn’t for my desire to downsize my makeup collection or use up previous cosmetics I bought within these past few months (be on better behavior hehe), I would have purchased a few of these lovely little items. …
Lush Review: Ibiza Party Shampoo
Ibiza Party Shampoo is another great mild shampoo from Lush. I’m glad I finally got to try it. I’m not sure if I like it more than Trichomania Solid Shampoo but I definitely do like it at least just as much. It smells like a coconut citrus mixture to me (dare I say dessert-like) …
