I approached yesterday's chocolate zucchini cake with my standard ill-advised mindset (meh, I don't have a bundt pan, I'll just use two square pans and adjust the baking time; meh, I only have 1 1/2 cups of regular sugar, let's just top it off with some superfine)...but, miracle of miracles, it turned out wonderfully.
Ever since the eighth grade, when CKOne was quite the thing, I've loved cologne on a man. Not too much, mind you - we've all encountered that dude on the subway who seems to have bathed in Cool Water - but I think there's nothing sexier than getting closer to a guy only to discover that he's put in a little extra effort...just for you.
Meet your new go-to glassware: a set of Baccarat champagne glasses originally designed for the Russian Imperial Court that retail for a measly $8,995.00.
Just before you finish showering in the morning, turn the hot water all the way off and stand under the cold water for a few seconds (keep your hand on the cold tap so you can turn it off the moment it gets to be too much). I know it sounds miserable, but I swear: the icy blast will do wonders to wake you up, and will leave you feeling alert and refreshed.
I recently discovered Home Health's Lavender Water at a local health food store, and it's my new favorite summer product. You know how I've mentioned spritzing our sheets with lavender water every night before getting into bed? Well, now I spritz myself with it, too - it's such a great way to cool off and wind down before bedtime. And at just over six bucks for a bottle, you can feel free to douse yourself in gallons of the stuff all season long; you can even wear it during the day as a light perfume.
