Chick of the Sea from Honeycat Cosmetics
I can’t think of anything cuter than the Spa Cat curled up in a corner, his fluffy white tail tucked under his pink nose and his little body purring with contentment. Awww. It’s enough to make me forget that each and every morning at 5:17 a.m. sharp, he beckons in the day with a blood-curling […]

Tressed for Success: Ojon Rub-Out Dry Cleanser
Okay, here’s my invention: The Sunday Bra. It’s comfy enough for a lazy weekend day but supportive enough that should your neighbors stop by with a plate of homemade cookies, you don’t have to crouch behind the front door peephole kicking yourself for being only half-dressed in the middle of the afternoon. It could work. […]
