More Fun Than a Tear-Away Track Suit

I can't even remember life without a towel wrap, but I will try to provide a scenario which makes clear why absolutely everyone should own one. You just get out of the shower; dripping everywhere you step; you try to roll the towel so it stays put as you brush your hair, brush your teeth, put on deodorant, apply make-up / shave and pick your outfit for the day. You lost the towel at step one, and obviously the blinds are open so you can give your neighbors/roommates a little show. Instead of spending the next 10 minutes readjusting the towel and shimmying so as to not loose the towel, you could have just velcroed on your towel dress and continue getting ready for another day at your desk.

Some might ask why not wear a bathrobe? Because bathrobes are for your dad, and they make you sweat especially as you are blow drying hair negating any deodorant application. Added benefit: All your friends will be jealous.

And no it's not just for girls.

For the Neat Freaks

Some may label us neat freaks or OCD, but at least we have nice-smelling, stain-free clothes. If you are ready to branch away from the laundry basics comprising of Tide and All and have an upscale cleaning session, check out The Laundress. The two founders of The Laundress, Lindsey Wieber and Gwen Whiting, sought to infuse "delicacy, fragrance and sophistication" to the laundry process... obviously they have never visited me in my bimonthly laundry fights. Smelly socks aside, The Laundress' products are lovely for your clothes and easy on your nose (Read: No artificial pine / sea breeze scent). Some of their items may seem a little extravagant for personal consumption; however it would make a lovely gift for that cherished neat freak in your life.

A Color for All Your Moods

A shopper's delight organized by color. I have no idea who picks the products to be showcased in these color-driven product blogs, but they either have a great search engine or a lot of free time to cull the best products for each of the color schemes. The blogs include:

http://www.thechocolateblues.com/
http://www.everythingturquoise.com/
http://www.pinkandgreenscene.com/
http://www.blackandwhitedelight.com/
http://www.decorgreen.com/
http://www.pinkandbrownlove.com/

They have selected products from glasses to dresses to lamp shades so you can color coordinate your life. They do a great job linking to the appropriate location of the item as well as getting a photo up and a price tag. So get coordinated or go home.

A Bedding Moment

When you come home from a day of work, all you want to see is an inviting bed. With sheets like these, why would you ever leave? The crisp blue & white provides a refreshing moment, and a break from the headache of work. Metro Collection has two lovely sets that are easy on the eyes and can be found on Amazon.com to be easy on the wallet.
