She might not be a teen yet, but you know your baby's thinking, "No-one understands me".

It's what I'm getting myself for Chanuka, I think. Simple, freestanding, yummy color, and just enough hardware make this bag very pleasing indeed.

Bentley Continental GT


This car, a reader recommendation, blew me away. The description, filled with words like "agile handling" and "outright performance" got me kind of enthusiastic. The fluid lines and hot classic styling make this our luxury pick.

Bare Minerals Get Started Kit

I'm serious: FLAWLESS without the liquids, blending, and drugstore panic when I can't remember my shade. Easy powder melts into the skin and 5 minutes later-- instant perfection without a trace of dryness... just dewy and perfect.

And just when I think it's not possible, this bronzer makes it even better, even on my never-seen-sunshine-are-you-sure-you're-not-Irish skin.

Some days I have to stand in front of the mirror and marvel at myself.

Well worth the $60

A few summers ago I used this lotion at Boston's Hotel Commonwealth and could not get enough of it's yummy, almondy scent. For the full experience, take a bath, use liberally, and pronounce almond, "aaamond."

Estée Lauder Youth-Dew Dusting Powder Box

Nordstrom says:

In 1953, Estée Lauder introduced Youth-Dew, a scented bath oil that doubled as a perfume, and the world of fragrance was forever changed. Until then, women relied on the men in their lives to give them perfume as a special gift. But Youth-Dew was created for women to buy for themselves...and they did. Even today, its captivating, sexy romance ensures that this true classic remains a favorite. The Dusting Powder is light and silky, leaves your skin smooth, comfortable and richly scented. Powder box includes a soft puff.
I'm in, even without the puff. Though a puff is a major plus, as far as I'm concerned.
