Hang something pretty
Do you ever get the feeling like you need something pretty? When I get that feeling I head over to etsy.com and trade my dollars for beauty.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the joy of Etsy, it's a on-line marketplace for handmade items. Why buy the mass-produced, cookie-cutter stuff that everyone has, when you can get something unique and handmade while supporting the artist community?
Today I found this gorgeous limited edition canvas print - Green Pastures by Natasha Wescoat. It's bright and lively even better - make me smile.
Head over and grab a print of your own, or search one of the zillions of artists on Etsy.

Ladies, meet Hello Sugar - Bath & Body Works' sweetest fragrance to date. And being a lover of all things sweet, I just had to get it. The minute I smelled the sugar- and lemon-scented indulgence, I was hooked. I just love it when I discover a new fragrance, don't you?
Be the sweet center of attention when you lavish yourself with this self-indulgent 3-in-1 body wash, bubble bath and shampoo in a tastefully tart lemon sugar scent. And remember, sweet doesn't always mean innocent.My best friend Janet is going to snort when she reads the above product description from the Bath & Body Works web site. She knows that I luuuurve sweet scents (she likes 'em spicy!), being the center of attention, and lavishing myself.
I picked up this bottle of Hello Sugar 3-in-1 shampoo, body wash, and bubble bath and all of the other shower gels and washes are green with envy and fear they'll never get chosen again.
How about you? What's your favorite Bath & Body scent?

My
Dad loves watches and fortunately for me, so do I. I love browsing the watch department, looking for THE perfect watch.
I actually came across this baby when browsing the Father's Day Gift Guideat Amazon. I've been using gift guides at Amazon for years, and it never lets me down.
Check it out, kids - this Jacques Lemans watch retails for $1,695, but Amazon is practically giving it away for $309. Aaaaand they're also offering an additional 20% off this watch at checkout. That nets out to $247.20. I love a bargain.

I learned curse words watching my dad fix things. Just like the scene from "The Christmas Story," my dad frequently cursed to express his exasperation at anything and everything that went wrong while trying to fix things.
Most of the time it involved teeny tiny little nuts and bolts that he could never quite keep a hand on. For some wee things, they sure brought about some big words!
So, in honor or the greatest #%$@&%^&$ Dad in all of the world, I present the Handy Magnet Wristband. If it weren't for you, I would never have developed my colorful truck driver tongue. You %$#@#^&% ROCK!
Check it out at Uncommon goods. One of my top two favorite gift sites! w00t w00t!
PS - hey, while you're there, why not pick up a little sumptin' for yourselfish?
That's what I'm talking about!

Recently I moved from a house I owned to a house I rent. I was happy to get rid of the mortgage, but moving back into a rental property did not allow me the freedom to paint rooms as I saw fit.
I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on artwork or punch countless nail holes into the walls. Nor did I want to live in a big cream box with no character.
So I searched for alternatives and discovered removable wall decals and found two excellent sites to get high quality, creative options.
The first is AdZif out of Canada which produces gorgeous and funky decals with endless options. I purchased "Wind of Love" by Lucie Gauthier (see image on right).
I was a bit nervous about applying it to the wall -- I don't have the steadiest hand, but no worries. With a little elbow grease, the decal applied beautifully and looks awesome!
The second site I recommend is dVider. It's decals are wild and outrageous. I chose the Mini 01 in red. Application was even easier than AdZif and it looks so cool! This time, just $16 brought whimsy and inspiration to my office space.
You cannot beat the imaginative forms and figures available from AdZif and dVider. If you are looking for something to make your home pop with originality - look no further than wall decals from these two great online retailers.

Do you love to travel, but dislike having to flip through the same travel guides your parents and grandparents use? Good news -- now you don't have to. StyleCity guides from Thames and Hudson are the ultra chic city guides for the young, discerning traveler. From New York to Paris, San Francisco to Rome and London to Istanbul -- just to name a few -- StyleCity guides can help you plan your next escape to some of the trendiest cities on Earth.
I love StyleCity because they contain the most gorgeous visuals; photography you will not see in any other guides. Thames and Hudson have taken conventional travel guides and turned them into books worthy of your coffee table.
StyleCity lets you in on the secret places locals don't want tourists to know about. The guides break down destinations with maps, restaurants, hotels, museums, shops and more.
I was given the San Francisco guide as a gift. Now, having been a resident of San Francisco, I didn't think there was anything I didn't know about it. StyleCity proved me wrong. And not only did it offer some of the tastiest insider treats, but it also did an excellent job of slicing up each neighborhood, so even someone from a small town would feel comfortable in this urban wonderland.
Whether you are a tried and true traveler, or just starting to explore this amazing planet, check out StyleCity guides. I guarantee you will find no other guides more visually stunning or containing the information you really want to know.

Dudes, I just spent waaaaay too much time surfing for shirts at 80sTees.com. That place is like Target - it sucks you in and won't let you out without spending at least $60 because the STUFF IS SO DAMN GOOD.
And you know, it transports me back in the day. Before conference calls, reports, and responnnnnsibility.
Remember these?
