Looking for a gift for a friend or relative that's a little creative or unique? A colleague of mine introduced me to a site called The Spoon Sisters. It's jam-packed with fun stuff, from practical and functional products like these Wobble Wedges or these travel nailpolish remover packets, to sillier items like the Hangover from Hell Eyemask and Clocky - The Alarm Clock that Runs Away and Hides.
What caught my eye, though, was this Message Bean; it's a little plant bean that has a word and an image lasered onto either side. With water, the bean grows into a plant, and the word and image is revealed on the plant.
Pretty wild! Available bean-types are: Thank You (with Thanks in Japanese), Love (with a heart), Happy Birthday (with a musical note), Happy Holiday (with two stars on the other side), and Get Well (with Get Well written in Japanese on other side).
Happy shopping!
Sephora lured me into their Prudential Mall store last evening via the combination of their $15 e-coupon and my Beauty Insider birthday gift. I have been looking for a new lightweight daily moisturizer, so this was the perfect opportunity to pop in.
I inquired with one of the beauty specialists on the floor, told her that I have somewhat sensitive skin, and that I am looking for a daily moisturizer that will not clog my pores or leave a shine. She smiled, said she has the perfect product, led me over to the Skyn Iceland line, and introduced me to the ANTIDOTE Quenching Daily Lotion. She pumped a sample onto my hand, and explained how this lightweight hydrating lotion helps to decongest stressed skin, won't leave me feeling greasy, and the cooling sensation when it's applied feels refreshing.
When I got home, I read the box, and chuckled, because lately this is the synopsis of my over-stressed life:
TOO MUCH COFFEE. NOT ENOUGH WATER. SKIN IS TOTALLY PARCHED ... TOO MUCH WORK. NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR MYSELF. COMPLEXION LOOKS AS DULL AS I FEEL... ON A TIGHT DEADLINE. FORGOT TO BREATHE. SKIN'S SUFFOCATING... THREE LATE NIGHTS IN A ROW. NO ENERGY. IT'S SHOWING ON MY FACE ... LUNCH AT MY DESK AGAIN. COURSE ONE: PRETZELS. COURSE TWO: CANDY. SKIN NEEDS NOURISHMENT.
I will be sure to let you know if I fell victim to some creative on package marketing, or if this stuff really works!
