Loving the shoe inventions, Out-Ease

February 26, 2009 – 4:46 pm

Woohoo for female-owned SMART businesses!  

I seriously gave away all my work slingbacks because of the obnoxious gets caught in your shoe dilemma, years ago.  These may open up a whole new world of work shoe options once again :)

Getting the packing list ready for the beach…

February 24, 2009 – 2:16 pm

Well, there’s no sun around here it seems just bitter windy icey cold days.  That’s why the Doggpound is headed for a little R&R in the Caribbean.  First on my list is Sunblock, not Sunscreen but straight up Sunblock with Physical Defense.  

Remember my sun care tips from the past 2 years?  Based on a recommendation from my dermatologist(s), I ventured from SkinCeuticals to a new brand.  DermaQuest’s ZinClear product is pretty amazing.  I’m serious about my sun protection and this stuff doesn’t leave behind any residue.  Woah!

Only happens about once a year…get your Antica Farmacista Discount

February 10, 2009 – 1:05 pm

Looking for a little treat for the home?  If you just finished filing taxes and found a little reserve tucked away, I highly highly recommend these diffusers (better than Anthousa, better than the house brand at Restoration Hardware).  They have tremendous “staying” power and the Tuberose, Hyacinth, & Lily of the Valley is an amazing blend of gardenia and other fresh clean flowers that provide the perfect “background” home fragrance.  Don’t get me wrong, I still like to spice things up with a candle here and there but this is an awesome deal.

I wait a few measly minutes after the noon sale opens and bam, nothing left. I love White + Warren cashmere, this makes me so sad :(

I’m going to walk around the house in some pink shoes to cheer myself up.

Spring cleaning (his closet)

January 21, 2009 – 7:30 pm

Jeremy had about 6 too many pairs of raggedy jeans–so off to the donation bin they went.  

The decision was made (I was told) that if I was going to be particular about their styling and color, I would have to buy them.  Cool!  I was also advised against purchasing anything way too metrosexual, like when I had had a few too many Miller 64s and ordered several designer jeans that ended up being way too feminine.

At $40 with code 98137138, I’m hoping these Martin and Osa Jeans will be the answer.  We’ll see.
