Everyday Carry Kit



Ok, not everyone needs to carry around a pocket knife with 30 tools in it, but this little guy could be useful for just about anyone and easily clips onto your keychain. The whole thing weights in at just two measly ounces, and that may be the smallest lighter I've ever seen. Available at Kaufmann Mercantile

Tiny World in a Bottle




Tiny World in a Bottle is just like it sounds except much, much cuter.

Artware Editions Glasses





The glasses in my house are carefully picked out vintage pieces and it's rare I find many these days I am very fond of (this is thanks to constant antique and flea market shopping) but if I had the option, I'd fill our cupboards with every one of these incredible Artware Editions glasses. Chelsea Seltzer and Theo A. Rosenblum have created my favorites by far.

Review: Bioderma Crealine H2O


Could it be the best make up remover? Yes, I think so!


I have had the Bioderma makeup remover on my wish list for AGES ever since Style Suzi mentioned it in her skin care video. When my parents told me they were going to Paris for a couple of days, I asked them to bring me back a couple of bottles as it's really hard to get hold of in the US so that I could put it to the test.




Product Features:
  • Soothing and emollient, thanks to cucumber extract.
  • No Perfume
  • Enables dirt to be emulsified and surface hydrolipidic film to be reconstituted.
  • Non detergent, non foaming, neutral pH.
  • Soap free.
  • Make-up remover and cleansing solution.
In my opinion yes, this IS the best makeup remover, and I have tried plenty! It removes every single trace of makeup without irritating it or leaving any residue. It feels like water on my skin yet it's very effective in removing dirt. My eyes are incredibly sensitive, so I have to be extremely careful about what I use and this perfect as it's very gentle. The Bioderma surprised me in actually how quick it removed eye make up, usually I am there for ages swiping away and using plenty of cotton rounds, with this I only needed 2 and did it in half the time. When I look in the mirror the next morning I have zero eye makeup lurking beneath my eyes, and usually I would detect a little bit. It works out great value for money too as 2 bottles of 500ml are approx $22. So, $10.50 (+ shipping/tax) for a bottle is fantastic and a little goes a long way and on that note I give this product a 10/10 and would definitely recommend.




Ingredients: WATER (AQUA), PEG-6 CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC GLYCERIDES, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, CUCUMIS SATIVUS (CUCUMBER) FRUIT EXTRACT, MANNITOL, XYLITOL, RHAMNOSE, FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES, DISODIUM EDTA, CETRIMONIUM BROMIDE.

FYI: 2x 500ml bottles cost 18Euros from a pharmacy in Paris, I found it online HERE for US & UK customers, I think they ship to Europe too. I have never ordered from their site so cannot vouch for customer service or shipping info.

Have you tried the Bioderma Crealine H2O?

Cat vs Human



Yasmine loves cats—a lot.  Maybe even more than us.  If you love them too, then you will definitely appreciate Cat vs Human, a comic based on Yasmine's life as a pet owner.
