Ever since the eighth grade, when CKOne was quite the thing, I've loved cologne on a man. Not too much, mind you - we've all encountered that dude on the subway who seems to have bathed in Cool Water - but I think there's nothing sexier than getting closer to a guy only to discover that he's put in a little extra effort...just for you.
Meet your new go-to glassware: a set of Baccarat champagne glasses originally designed for the Russian Imperial Court that retail for a measly $8,995.00.
Just before you finish showering in the morning, turn the hot water all the way off and stand under the cold water for a few seconds (keep your hand on the cold tap so you can turn it off the moment it gets to be too much). I know it sounds miserable, but I swear: the icy blast will do wonders to wake you up, and will leave you feeling alert and refreshed.
I recently discovered Home Health's Lavender Water at a local health food store, and it's my new favorite summer product. You know how I've mentioned spritzing our sheets with lavender water every night before getting into bed? Well, now I spritz myself with it, too - it's such a great way to cool off and wind down before bedtime. And at just over six bucks for a bottle, you can feel free to douse yourself in gallons of the stuff all season long; you can even wear it during the day as a light perfume.

I make meat sauce all the time...but want to hear something sort of weird? I've never made meatballs. That unfortunate situation changed last night, when I tried out my friend Marianne's totally foolproof (and totally mouthwatering) recipe.
