House-Hunting: Question For You
We're going back to see a couple of houses today that we rejected the first time around, but that I think may be able to see more clearly now that I've been hanging around this rodeo for awhile (e.g. looking past cosmetic concerns like a patchy yard or paint colors I hate).
In your opinion, is this a bad idea? When it comes to first impressions with homes, how important is that initial gut reaction? I know that you should never base a home purchase on things like, say, how nice the kitchen appliances are or how the previous owners decorated...but is there that intangible something that makes you recognize a place immediately as somewhere you'd like to spend the years to come?
(Oh, and I'll Tweet pics today - from about 3-6 is when I'll be up-river.)
Where It’s At
I have to be honest, I'm about ready to give up. I'm just exhausted.
Kickstarter Spotlight: Charm City Babies
Please check out the cuteness at left.
That's the brainchild of Charm City Babies co-founders and brand-new dads Richie Frieman and Scott Smith. Lovers of music and vintage-inspired style, they found themselves disappointed by the kids' clothing they saw on the market, and decided to start making their own onesies in order to dress their kids in the kinds of things that they'd want to wear themselves.
I obviously am on board with this idea, and will be even more all about it when they create a Aerosmith Get A Grip tour onesie.
...Guys?

Daily Beauty: Peter Thomas Roth Eye Tightener
Have you heard about the Peter Thomas Roth Instant FIRMx Eye Tightener? It's that stuff that Dr. Oz swears by (he did a before-and-after on his show that was pretty incredible), and my mother-in-law recently sent me a tube to use when I'm shooting (or just feeling extra-puffy).
My under-eye area, as you know if you've been reading here for awhile, is probably my most annoying problem spot - it just shows immediately when I haven't drunk enough water or had a bad night's sleep (and when you have a baby, that obviously happens frequently). I've tried tons and tons of products to help with the puffiness, and have generally found that I prefer ones with a light texture and a cooling element (a rollerball is nice, too), but was pretty psyched to try the Peter Thomas Roth stuff when I saw the Dr. Oz results.
I mean, look (the product has been applied on the eye on your left, and not on the eye on your right):
