The Good, the Bad & the Queen
Shop for it at:
Recommendation:

A love affair with the beguiling city of London, an awesome mix of musicianship, songwriting, art, literature, history and healthy doses of romanticism and cockiness. Allow me to gush for a moment about this band. The Good, The Bad and The Queen have a roster and collective history to make your mouth water and your heart race (especially if you're a music junkie and Anglophile like me) - Simon Tong (The Verve), Tony Allen (Fela Kult/Africa 70), Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz) and Paul Simonon (The Clash) - this is like a supergroup with bonus features! And if that weren't enough, their debut album was produced by the innovative Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton (Gorillaz/Gnarls Barkley). It's gloomy, it's glorious and it's going to be huge!

Faith Love & Hope Charm Necklace
Shop for it at:
Recommendation:
-
I love this jewellery designer. He has a beautiful shop on Upper Street in Islington where all of his really contemporary designs are handmade on-site. This is really handy cause the jewellers come out from the workshop and give you advice! His website is also an online shop and it would have to be one of the best jewellery websites I have used. It allows me to customise each design with my own metal or gemstone, which is so refreshing. Especially as it means I won't end up looking like everybody else on the high street! I want this particular Stephen Einhorn charm necklace for Christmas because I like its hidden, inspirational meaning - ie. faith, love and hope. He also havsa gold and silver version of this called "Trinity" which is totally gorgeous, but the silver version is a bit more within my budget!

I heart this. The design is so perfect for spill proof confident couch eating. Can't you just imagine yourself curled up on the couch, cupping a hot bowl of pad thai and using chopsticks WITHOUT worrying about the whole thing toppling over?

Turbo Chef

Recommendation:
-
If youâre looking for a splurge, but still want to stay at home, there is really nothing better than the Turbo Chef. It has stunning retro design and itâs purported to be able to cut your cooking time in half. The legendary Charlie Trotter has endorsed it and if itâs good enough for him, itâs good enough for us.

RepechageCreme Active Re-Energizing Seaweed Body Cream
Shop for it at:
Recommendation:
-
The body lotion was just as impressive as the body wash (see review above). The texture of the lotion was a medium, silky blend which was just as luxurious feeling as the body wash. The fragrance is completely different from the wash. This one was more of a fresh/marine scent with a trace of citrus. Most impressive for me however was the moisturization power of this cream! Just a few pumps each day covered my entire body and created lasting moisturization, even on problem areas for me like my lower legs and thighs, which always seem to be the driest parts of my body. It hydrated without feeling sticky or greasy or leaving a film, which is important to me. I really love this body cream and itâs going to be one of my new body care staples!

Recommendation:
-
Because I come straight from church to brunch, I like things easy. And this Easter Egg Cake keeps things simple. It's lemon with lemon curd filling which is a total spring flavor. And it's frosted to resemble the cutest egg from the egg hunt.

MIA Women's Island Sandal
Shop for it at:
Recommendation:

This kelly green and strappy style is so popular this season. And it's nice to find a sandal that is comfortable and doesn't cost a gazillion dollars for 3 square inches of shoe. Another bonus - no guilt if you don't want to wear them next summer.

Soda Seal
Shop for it at:
Recommendation:
-
Definitely a nifty and useful invention. There's nothing worse than flat soda, and since I'm not much of a soda drinker, I usually take a few sips and toss the can (actually, I recycle!). Not anymore. This is a resealable soda can, and it's simple to use. Why didn't I think of it?

YODELLING PICKLE
Shop for it at:
Recommendation:
-
Yes, as a matter of fact, I DO need it. Don't judge me. What will I do with it? No idea. But I was a Girl Scout back in the day so I believe it's better to be prepared than to suddenly need a yodelling pickle and find that, thanks to poor planning, you have naught.

One thing I've noticed when sailing is that it's good to be quick on your feet and it's good to be able to be flexible. Being inhibited by your life vest isn't just uncomfortable it's dangerous. This life vest is build with unrestricted movement in mind.

Beige Cab Bench Bobcat
Recommendation:
-
I am ordering the color swatch to make sure but I think this is gray and black over beige. This will (hopefully) go in my new home office under the big window. I might throw a luxurious faux fur blanket in a solid color over one side (diagonally) if the color is too much. I'm guessing it's going to be pretty awesome!

Funny by Jennifer Michael Hecht
Shop for it at:
Recommendation:

This is another book of poetry and it's just to die for. Here's one of my favorites of hers (quite unique and wonderful!): The Propagation of the Species Jennifer Michael Hecht It is likely that someone will be standing there at the end of time, looking up at the fireball or down at the organs of desire. It wonât be us, but only because odds are odds: uncanny, cranky, spare. Thus we may conclude the world to be a safe enough place. These are the cares of the day, the age of probability having replaced historic neâer-do-wells with numbers. As for us, we live in surprise; why not share this mood and facial disposition with some scion of the future generation? We spent our meditation-time instead confessing. The exercise delivered unexpected fruit. Perhaps weâve better quarry than the truth. The fruit of all of this is possession and release, mango and bananas. Especially bananas. Try expressing to a friend, when next you are feeling unglued or blue, say: Iâm bananas. Explain to others that your lover, while very sweet and handsomely randy, is a mite bananas; is bananas. With a meaningful look in your eye, gesture an unpeeling. It is your autobiography you are living. The actor eating scampi to my left says he is not yet off-book, but will be. Folks, I am ever-so-slightly off-book; Friends, I am bananas. We parse the problem, nouning out the principle players: friends, families, prospects. I interview the possibility of a child; ask it questions. Intone the word: Interested? Then: Want to learn the word for widget? Want to read Beowulf? Want to get named? Shall we grin and bear it? I admit, existence is where woeful was conjured. Nonetheless, to recommend it, there is Jell-O; average rainfall; the anchovy app at Lunaâs; and the fact that in the middle, many change their minds on the whole shebang â get a good one off in both directions. But you and I are going to have to choose. It is our autobiography we are eating; you snooze you lose. Still, in the midst of going too slowly, all hell has been known to break loose. A gang of snails attacks a tree sloth, steals her wallet. Down at the station, police chief questions: Howâd they get ya? Sloth says, I dunno, it all happened so fast. Ainât it the truth. All this wallowing in the details of engagement and when the battle comes, it isnât quite expected. Itâs slower. Also, over much too fast to make a fair assessment. Lounging in her tea tree, chewing leaves and dreaming, she sees them: tiny, slimy things with spiral shells and damp antennae that float like sea anemone above their wet-tongue heads. She wonders softly: Is it a moment for decision? Shall I bolt or battle? Or better yet, might this pass me by without regret? It took days for the battalion to cross the stretch of trunk and reach her, yet she was still mulling it over when she found herself succumbed. Years later, still on her way home from the station, she wondered what she had wanted with a wallet, anyway. There is no way to parry ordinary disaster. There are no odds worth playing. Animal-stars from early motion-pictures eat bonbons and wear feathered mules in their trailers; the old-age home; the zoo. What, on the other hand, will become of you and I? Side by side, the Studebakers inside us ride along the Côte du Rhone, our hair getting tangled in the violent wind of speed. And how do you propose we un-knot all these tangles? Not, I trust, on the rocks below: brave souls pick a hotel from the travel guide and go. What do fools do? Donât know. Probably the same but badly. Bombardiers stay home. Bombardiers know too much of bombs to roam. Still, it is a question of the result of oneâs actions. Mendel was a monk, watching pea-pods, but had a wild effect on pillow talk in centuries to follow; mumblings of the pregnant engineer. What do you get from a threesome of a tiger, a scorpion, and a fly? Bumble-bee. How do you get a zebra? Mix a horse and a tiger. How you get a tiger? Mix a lion with that same zebra from before. Let us accept a rainy August day as if it were a single, unlikely fabrication. As if these movies had never been on television before, as if weâd never heard of Mamie Eisenhower, as if her tiny bangs could still cause us to smile. The recovering tree sloth hangs upside-down, her three-toed feet hooked to the fat branch above her as she lollingly observes the tropic scene. Much, she muses, to which we cling, turns out to be . . . ah well. Sheâs lost her train of thought, chewing a mild leaf and swinging gently with the breeze. Odds of the home-front; odds of the sun; odds of a herringbone. Run, run, run.
