In the world of Save. Spend. Splurge.: Where lace dresses become a thing
- I am sort of not into cutouts or lace dresses but Anna Jane makes it look so chic.
- I have never wanted a hair dryer more in my life. Note: I don’t own or use one.
- Way to make me feel less guilty about my Starbucks addiction. They’re really trying! I am loving it.
- Love this wrapped chunky heel boot option… I feel like the 70s are slowly seeping into my subconscious because I like the look of chunky heels now (not potted wedges though). I also really enjoy this chunky heel as well.
- How that colour came about. Malaria, gave us mauve. I still hate the colour, but.. y’know.
- I am very tempted to try out konjac sponges for the face. Anyone?
- Wilted herbs become a herb paste, and almost expired milk turns into a milk JAM. Here are all the ways you can save on food & end up with gourmet items. This is frugality, chef-style.
- Urban Decay remains my favourite eyeliner that is a pencil although lately I have been leaning towards a sharper liquid liner look, I like this one by Smashbox
- Jenna Lyons: Part One / Part Two … I am into and sort of NOT into her style but I can’t get enough of this J. Crew muse no matter how I feel about the brand. Oh and here’s Isabel Marant
- Why did I not get a memo on this? HD Powder comes in a COMPACT NOW? This is a beauty staple for me.
- I am fascinated by this piece: When a House becomes a Money Pit … I don’t own a house/apartment.. Yet.. but I can see this happening.
- I’m in love with hard drives because you can hold so much info in a little tiny box. This 2TB one is so slim.
- 8 jobs you never knew existed, except they missed Panda Nanny which is the one I really want even though I’m probably allergic. In that case, I’ll take “Nailpolish namer” or “Food Stylist”…
- This map print scarf is pretty. It looks way more expensive than its price.

I have a generic konjac sponge. It’s pretty good. I like it. That being said, if you already have a Clairsonic, then you don’t need a konjac sponge.

I don’t really need a konjac sponge.. in the end, I use the chemical exfoliator and it is awesome.

I’d be all over that hairdryer as well if I wasn’t choking over the starting price. The post you linked says $400, but I read another that said it would be $500. Maybe Canadian vs. US pricing? As long as my current noisy beast (which is quite in the grand scheme of blow dryers) is running I’ll have to pass. I’ll reassess when this one dies.
As for the Konjac sponges, it wasn’t a game changer for me. I tried the Boscia charcoal version. It felt like more of a novelty item, but maybe it just wasn’t for my skin. I didn’t notice any difference using it.

This is when I wish PR people would give us stuff for free LOL
I think Konjac is definitely a novelty if you don’t use wash cloths… or another exfoliator. I use ORG mineral and that’s the one that really works for me.

I am thoroughly convinced it is impossible to own a home in New England without being a high-earner/independently wealthy or in construction. All the housing stock is 100-200 years old and historical restoration has long been a hobby of the well-to-do, for good reason (it’s expensive)!

I believe it. Old houses cost a lot.
