New Favorites

Love my new Laundress

Whites Detergent, Darks Detergent, Denim Wash, Delicate Wash and Dryer Sheets (especially the dryer sheets!)

Mmm, smells like Blair Waldorf.

"Wake up prettier. Rest easier."

Huh? What a stupid tag line. But what ever. I'm in! This is the creme de la creme of eye masks. Not only because its made with silk embedded with 18 amino acids but because eye mask is spelled with a -QUE.

Does the Brache Belle De Nuit Eye Masque keep me from looking like a strung out Courtney Love in the morning? No. But it does keep me looking like the horse-faced Sara Jessica Parker. (So, it's a keeper)

Finally! A nudish-pinkish color compatible with my fair Irish skin! Jade Rose is my new shade! Thank you, Chanel. You’ve made an extremely pale girl happy.

Impulse buy when I purchased the nail polish. But thank the stars I did because its my new soft & sultry eye shadow! Again, my damn milkiness limits the hues I can rock. But NARS' duo cream eyeshadow in Madagascar make for a perfect smokey eye.

So what if it is a cologne? I'm in love with this scent! I wear it all the time- except when I'm with my man. I think he'd rather me stick to my Chance. Nonetheless, this earthy fragrance is so comforting. It has traces of musky fire wood, sandalwood, nutmeg, and smokey cedar. Even though it is a wintery scent, I'll be wearing Wonderwood well into mid-spring.

My last little favorite is one that I use every night- my hot water bottle with its cashmere coat. My grandma knit it for me! How adorable is that!? I really never realized just how useful grandmas are. The cashmere cover pictured is not mine but very similar. Though mine is made with a more dark and sophisticated grey. Not some pansy grey like this.

Homemade

Soap foodies!

Get em here while they are still hot!

Champagne to do the Damn Thang

Slip one of these wild hibiscus buds into a champagne filled flute and observe the teensy bubbles sail off the blossoming petals. Throw back your drink and you are left with a strawberry-rhubarb flavored flower you can eat! These blossoms can also be added to cocktails, soda and lemonade.

All That Glitters

I love Alex Monroe's exquisite detail.

Next purchase will be those hoops!

Roughing It

Whenever someone blurted out "You know what sounds great right about now? S'MORES!" I'd always nod in agreement and convince myself and those around me that, yes, s'mores would be damn delicious right about now.

But as of late I did some Gandhi-intense soul searching.

I've come to realize the following:

S'mores do not sound good about now!

S'mores do not sound good ever!

They are not only mediocre tasting at best but they are completely impossible to eat without looking like a barbarian who has not eaten in weeks.

What should be an enjoyable childhood-fav snack experience turns into a disheveled, gooey, sticky, crumbly game of "hot hands." Once the first bite is taken, the sandwich cracks in half and all hell breaks loose. One tries to devour as much s'more as possible while the graham cracker deteriorates in your hand and onto your lap. The melted marshmallow stings from palm to fingers and syrupy chocolate gushes from any and all openings. Your mouth can't act quick enough to net all scraps from falling.

These guys are assembled with ingredients that are perfectly different in consistency.

It is almost as if the person who concocted this thought "Hmmm. I want to make a quick campfire snack. How about using . . . some chocolate. Which is pretty manageable until exposed to the slightest bit of heat. A marshmallow. Which is stiff and gelatinous if under roasted and tastes of charcoaled ass if overheated. Oh! And to sandwich these two items together: two extremely brittle graham crackers!" What a fucking genius.

Oh! And there is ALWAYS someone in the s'more making bunch that delivers the "Can I have s'more smores? Mhamamawaahahha" line.

Note: If someone ever says that in my presence- it is a guarantee stab in the heart with your own marshmallow roaster.

That being said, I would not mind eating one of these babies. Truffle Truffle has made gourmet s'mores! A cute hostess gift for all those campfire connoisseurs. Believe me, they're out there.

Dying to try:

Root Bear Float

Black Truffle

Strawberry Basil

Banana Cream

I'll Drink To That

And for a second there, I thought I wouldn't find the perfect gift for my mother.

Take it off, boys!
