On reader Jennifer's recommendation, Kendrick and I spent part of our rainy Saturday afternoon at Stonewall Kitchen. They're the ones who make those gorgeous jams and sauces you find in fancy shops, but the store sells all kinds of fantastic stuff, from coastal-scented candles to gold starfish door-knockers (!) to Sodastreams and Le Creusets.
My favorite finds:
Lavender Laundry Sachets (toss them in your dryer with wet clothing to leave it beautifully scented)
I wore Vincent Longo Fleur de Flirt (a sheer pinky-brown lip stain with SPF 15) on my wedding day, and ever since then it's been my #1 favorite lip color. It works for every skin tone and every occasion, and I couldn't recommend it more highly (I just ordered a replacement myself).

I am in tiny little bits and pieces on the floor.
I have been sick three - THREE - times since February. I know, suppressed immune system (so that you don't reject the baby, which is, of course, half-comprised of someone else entirely), etc etc...but I am sick to death of being deathly sick.
When I woke up all sorts of miserable yesterday, though, I thought that maybe the intense heatwave had brought on heretofore unknown allergies (everyone else seems to be complaining about them). This would be an especially bad thing, because while the typical cold lasts just a few days, allergies can go on...and on...and on. Or so I hear. I don't think I've ever had them.
Or have I?
Very confused.
I obviously can't get Keratin at the moment (that's a shot from a rainy and ordinarily majorly frizz-inducing day a couple of months after my first treatment, hence the remarkably smooth hair and alcoholic beverage)...but that doesn't mean that you can't!
