Another great bath cocktail. I felt a bit more relaxed since I had the luxury of time on a quiet mid-day/early evening. This citrusy bath is very sweet; think Trix cereal and Tang powder mix. Many times I wash my hair in the shower afterwards so I may not get the full benefits of the …
American Country Home Store
I was looking for Comptoir de Famille table linens a couple years back and discovered American Country Home Store was one of their many stockists. I also love ACHS’ beautiful yet quaint cottage furniture. Their website is definitely worth a gander. *Photocredit: American Country Home Store
What’s In My Night Stand? & SoftLips
Cotton gloves and socks (a gift to me from a previous co-worker), under eye cream (for nighttime; I use whatever samples I’ve accumulated and I’m not totally brand loyal), assorted travel-sized Victoria Secret lotions from the Secret Garden Collection, a big tube of Clarins Hand & Nail Treatment Cream (which I use especially during the …
Lush Review: Nostalgic Bath Cocktail
Sometimes I feel like Des Esseintes, Joris-Karl Huymans’ main character in Against Nature, striving to create a small world of Lush decadence whenever I can… Tonight’s bath cocktail was white and frothy with a delicate fresh scent, reminding me of 7UP and Sprite soda pops which I would gladly consume during those boring adult dinner …

Converse Sneakers
I’ve never been a big fan of Converse sneakers because I have the image of people wearing Chucks with tapered jeans in my mind (which only works well if you aren’t too scrawny and don’t mind that it might accentuate your petiteness). This Sunday I received a sales alert on Juicy Couture… Featured were a …
Hillhouse Naturals
I always find wonderful little treasures at the New York Botanical Garden’s book/gift store. This time I picked up a Hillhouse Naturals Bloom sachet for my closet. It’s an enduring floral fragrance. Love it! It’s the best sachet I’ve ever purchased. Please visit their website. They carry a wide selection of home fragrance products such …

Lush Review: Sunnyside Bath Cocktail
This was the best bath cocktail I’ve made so far. I imagine this will be hard to top! Please read on… 1 Street Party Bath Bomb: Sweet champagne scent. This bath bomb is a lot of fun to watch as it fizzes and reveals its hidden surprises =); however, it does take a little effort …
Fashion & Cooking’s Common Thread
I saw a copy of American Fashion Cookbook offered during a Gilt sale and although I currently have ample cookbooks, I had to have it! What could be better than perusing through recipes which have helped fuel the creative forces of some of the world’s most amazing fashion designers? My only qualm is that Katherine …
