It’s All In The Details (part 1 of 4)

When Target contacted me about shopping and writing about it’s new home line, Threshold, I was happy to participate. I already frequent Target, for a variety of products, including home decor. I love to score quality items at a great price. Having a mix in your home of both high and low purchases is really where it’s at.

I wanted to give my son’s bathroom a quick and inexpensive update. Inspired by the seaside, I thought the beach would make a great theme for a boy of any age. When I spotted these fun green and blue global hand towels, I knew they would work perfectly by adding the dash of color this neutral room needed. I added another solid hand towel in “trout stream” underneath, to give it a little bit more oomph.

I also got this great looking soap dispenser. At only $9.99, I couldn’t resist replacing the Sponge Bob Square Pants plastic bottle of hand soap, that was previously there. Finally, I grabbed this cute little tumbler, just to complete the whole look. I really like how these small purchases (only about $31.00) added up to such a stylish upgrade for my son’s bathroom vanity.

If Your Lipstick Could Talk

A funny lipstick “shapes” and personality test

 

Last week, at a friend’s birthday dinner, a bunch of us started talking about the shape our favorite lipsticks take after using them for awhile. 

It all started after I pulled out my beloved YSL lip balm, (mostly to ease my chapped lips, but maybe also to show it off a bit…I’m pretty obsessed with it). 

At some point, another friend remarked that her lipstick took on the same odd shape as mine, and then we were trying to remember what exactly that “meant.”

In the name of a fun (and in our case, overdue) girl’s night out, I promised to post the shapes and the meanings if I found them. 

So, which one are YOU?
