Maclaren – Now making scents
Ah baby smell. The intoxicating fragrance of that soft hair, the delicate sweetness of their freshly washed onesie, and the putrid, offensive nasal assault of a fully-loaded diaper. Thank heavens for the new Beginning by Maclaren line of aromatherapy candles which...
Bugaboo + iPhone = Conspicuous consumerism at its most practical
When I found out Bugaboo had come out with an iPhone holder accessory my first thought was to roll my eyes. What, we can't stand the idea of being out of reach of our precious phones for the time it takes to fish it out of our jacket pockets in the park? But then I...

Getting the Pretty Back – Reason #112 why I’m still a huge Molly Ringwald fan
