New line of Orla Kiley soaps

I went to Target today and was surprised to see a new line of Orla Kiely soaps. My favorite scent (in the green bottle) was called tomato vine, and it smells like a tomato vine, I love it!  Reminded me of the bay leaf sent, which my husband has grown to love.

$1.00 Off any Method product



I'm sure most of you have heard of Orla Kiely's new hand soaps for Method in Target. I snagged the pink primrose pattern for my bathroom when it was on sale for 2.69 a bottle, but I just found a great coupon on Target's website for a $1.00 off any Method product. I think you can print out more than one coupon, so get one for every sink! I found the coupon on the 4th page, but you may need to click around to find it. Click here.

23 and me. DNA testing


My dad is really into researching our family history. He came across a DNA test called 23 and me that maps the heritage in your genes and even reveals health problems you may develop. Last week I opened the kit and I spit into the tube they provided. In 6-8 weeks I will know more about myself and my husband. This is kind of exciting, I can't wait for the results!

My Halloween Costume

I'm going as a 1960's chick! I got inspired by this costume I posted about back in August.


Makeup:
The perfect 1960s face. Dramatic eyes, featuring heavy use of mascara, producing spiked lashes. Shadow is colored or dark. Skin is pale, often from foundation or powder called "translucent." Lips are pale or glittering, rarely showing dark shades. How to Apply 1960's Style Eye Makeup

Clothes:
I bought a great dress at Target. I can't seem to find a picture of it online, though :(. I got a big black headband and I might buy a wig, if I find a good one. As for shoes, I have no idea what to do yet.

Soap & Glory

I was in Target the other day when I saw a display for Soap and Glory Cosmetics. I didn't even know what they were but I just had to pick them up and take a closer look... that's the sign of good package design! Everything is put in pink boxes and tubes and the names of the products are clever: Righteous Butter body butter, Clean on Me shower gel, and Sexy Mother Pucker lip gloss. A quick Google search reveals they've been for sale in the UK for a while, and now have crossed the pond.

I did not purchase any of their products to try, so I can't attest as to their quality. Whenever I see cleverly packaged products like these, however, I get the impression that the high prices are due more to branding than the products themselves. Nevertheless, it's nice to have some eye candy on the bathroom shelf every once in awhile.
