About a month ago, Carolyn and I attended an eco-fair of sorts at the Old Company Store, a quaint little shop in historic Wareham, MA. It was great; we received all kinds of free samples of handmade soaps, Burt's Bees lotion, and organic coffee. One of the samples was a packet of Crabtree & Evelyn Naturals Solutions for Men Shave Cream, which I passed on to Derek. He used it a few days ago, and ladies, take note: it smells good. Seeing as C&E just filed for bankruptcy, the stuff might even be discounted!
Get an extra 20% off final sale items at J. Crew with the code EXTRA20, and may I suggest this very lovely, very 40s-inspired ribbon necklace:

If you're like me, you have a hard time laying down serious cash for fragrances. How can one teeny bottle of scented water cost $50, $75, $100? Well. I have discovered that many popular fragrances make a small version of their scent for (slightly) less moolah. Banana Republic sells 0.25 fl oz of Alabaster for only $10 ($7.50 each if you buy more than one). Marc Jacobs offers a 0.34 fl oz rollerball version of his signature scent for $25.00. Or, you could scour your area's summer yard sales: I scored a 0.5 fl oz bottle of Marc for - get this - fifty cents.
One of my fave bloggers, Deka from That's Hideous, took a break from writing to go to the Michael Jackson memorial in Los Angeles today. Check out her photos here! Also, check out this sincere tribute from a fellow Bostonian blogger, Arwen (hope you're staying dry today, girl!).
Oh, and if anyone has an extra copy of last week's InTouch and doesn't have a use for the MJ pull-out poster inside, well, let me just say there's a spot of empty wall in my apartment that could use a little something.

I will see if they have more of that shave cream next time I am there.
AND I do still have your (now collector item) MJ trading card with the famous red jacket. Would you like it back for your shrine?
heheheh
