rent a living christmas tree....

Growing up we always had a fresh Christmas tree, and as an adult, despite my numerous moves from city to city I've somehow managed to pull myself together enough to purchase a REAL Christmas tree, every single year. This year is admittedly my first year to have purchased a living Christmas tree (a potted tree that can be replanted), and as it turns out, there is an even more environmentally friendly option....rent a Christmas tree!

Mustache for your car?

I can't believe that an entire company can be based around a product such as a mustache for cars, but I kinda like it.

Sparkles for you and me

Sparkles always help me get into the holiday spirit - I met a chica who was wearing this nail polish and had to get a bottle of my own. Trust me, if you like sparkles, this is the COOLEST nail polish! It has a bunch of different sized glitter in it so it ends up looking like a super fancy nail job. 

Just trust me....buy it!

Robotic Pet Sitter!

Have you guys seen this thing? This robotic pet sitter is hands down one of the most awesome inventions I've seen in quite some time - it's still in the prototype stage, but when it becomes available to the masses I will be first in line! And yes, I understand that this is a bit far-fetched in theory, but at least it's getting the wheels spinning when it comes to the often neglected pet community. While totally impractical for longer vacations (no, I will not be spying on my pet via internet while sipping margaritas in Mexico) it seems like a sensible tool for occasionally checking in on your pet while at work. Scolding my pooch Charlie from the confines of my office? Sign me up!

Nail attack!

I love the funky new nail polish trends I'm seeing everywhere! Let's be real - I barely have the patience to sit through the drying process of one solid color of nail polish, so I'm doubting my ability to invest the time necessary to master these styles, but a girl can dream!



No, seriously.....

Do you need a good laugh? Buy Vice Magazine's book of fashion dos and donts. Trust me on this one, okay? You can buy it here for $12 and really, it's worth every penny. 

While you guys are texting me to say that you can’t come out because you're “super tired” this girl didn’t even let death-by-drowning get in the way of a good night. Can I get some more friends like her please?

Normally kitschy mullets are the worst, but something about his posture conjures thoughts of a baby about to shit itself and that part’s pretty neat.
