A new in-house home brand

Target launched their new home brand, Threshold, with a bang last week erecting a 1,600-square-foot dollhouse complete with a patio and lawn area smack in the middle of Grand Central in New York City. There were somewhere between 3,500 and 4,000 products on display in the house and, with few exceptions, all are available for purchase at Target.

Needless to say Threshold offers an extensive range of products to meet pretty much every home need you can imagine. We’re particularly fond of their tabletop, linens, and outdoor furnishings and we love that the prices are [...]

Celebrities go grunge

Last week the annual Met Gala took place in light of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring exhibition, “PUNK: Chaos to Couture” in New York. Everyone from Sarah Jessica Parker to Cameron Diaz was on hand showing off their personal take on Punk Rock so it’s little surprise that this trend has migrated it’s way into mainstream fashion.

Japanese Rose Showergel and more

The rose, a symbol of love and respect and it has long sent the message “I love you” in other words, it’s what every mama deserves. So, it’s little wonder we find ourselves currently obsessing over Korres’ rose line (at least that’s what we’re saying to justify our loooong bathtub de-stress indulgence - when we should have been working - the other day).

Warmed by the scent of rose petals, the brand’s rose products are packed with antioxidant enzymes as well as softening and moisturizing natural ingredients and they include a showergel, body butter, and lip butter. As an added bonus there are no gnarly chemicals in any [...]

A nutrient-enhanced water

With a celeb fan base that includes Amanda Seyfried and Vanessa Hudgens we were immediately intrigued by ACTIVATE, a nutrient-enhanced water with twist cap technology - especially their beauty flavor.

ACTIVATE Beauty has an antioxidant blend that helps with overall health and skin cell support. The nutrients include Tea Polyphenols, EGCG, Acai Extract, Vitamins C, A, E, B5 and B12 +electrolytes and the flavor is Exotic Berry. It’s super refreshing and more exciting than your run-of-the-mill water plus the kids were endlessly (OK well for 5 minutes…), entertained by the twist cap that releases the flavor into the water.

The B12 is also great for a little pre-workout energy boost and drinking something like this is so much easier than popping vitamins (plus we kill two birds with one stone since we’re also hydrating our bodies).

By storing the active [...]
