A zit stick that actually works, and fast. Yes, please.
I had the opportunity last year to try Bremenn Clinical, a line of mid-priced corrective skincare products and I'll be honest, nothing was exactly 100% right for my own skin type. I've heard good things about it from people I trust though, so maybe I'm supposed to be...
Tru-Colour bandages: Because kids come in different colors
I love every single thing about Tru-Colour bandages, from their story to their packaging--but most of all, how they celebrate and honor diversity. Adoptive dad Toby couldn't find bandages to match the skin tones of three of his five kids, so he created Tru-Colour....
The Book with No Pictures. Guess what? Your kids won’t miss them.

The Happy Mat that saved mealtimes
My toddler seeks out new ways daily to make mealtimes all stress and all mess. Food on the floor, "non-slip" mat thrown in the air, liquids everywhere--you name it, he's done it. It's more than the OCD in me can handle some days--okay, most days--and it raises the...
Handmade superhero capes that let kids commence saving the world. While looking absolutely awesome.
When the temperature has fallen below freezing, I can't exactly send my kids outside to play. Not for longer than fifteen minutes, anyway. To keep them happily active inside, I love to prompt their imaginations with dress up clothes. We're wearing out our cheap-o...
Custom dolls from your kids’ drawings. Now that’s a keepsake.
My three-year-old son brings artwork home from nursery school by the armful -- if you consider a couple of paint drops on construction paper to be art, that is. Every so often, however, he creates something that actually resembles a person, place, or thing, and I want...
Bezar: The new members-only marketplace for rabid fans of modern design

Ella: The amazingly illustrated, totally hilarious, very modern parody of Eloise.
I remember being so excited to share Eloise with my little girls when they were old enough--until I read it again as an adult and realized she a little brattier than I had remembered. Not just me, right? Even so, I still have a certain nostalgia for the precocious...
Mavenhaus Collective: Limited edition women’s fashion that you will want. Warning you now.

The Valentines gift for the romantic with a naughty streak
A little secret about me: I am a serious romantic. I'd always rather get a heartfelt card for Valentine's Day--or any day, really--than even a box of fancy chocolates or some sexy lingerie. But if you're looking for a cool Valentine's gift for a special lady that...

My friend, fellow mom, and one-time officemate of mine Joanne turned me onto this Champions Against Bullying anti-bullying video that just launched, and wow. It's powerful. I see a lot of these and this may be the first one that I rushed to share. The spot features...
9 creative makeup storage ideas from sushi mats to candy jars

Mama’s Milk Warmer: you’ll never have to wait for water to boil again
It's 3 a.m. and your baby is screaming at the top of her lungs. You are trying to heat up breast milk as quickly as humanly possible. Microwaving creates hot spots and potentially burnt mouths. Placing a bottle in a pot of boiling water makes it bob up and down and...
