Dove & DailyCandy DryBar Event

I've never been to DryBar before. It is so nice.

Despite said niceness, for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to dress like Britney Spears c. 2008. I have no excuse for that one, other than the fact that you really can't put denim shorts and sparkle stars together in a single item of clothing and not expect me to hand over a credit card.

Anyway, DryBar is lovely. You get a little "menu" of options for blow-out styles (I went for "The Straight Up": a straightforward blowout with a little volume at the roots and slight bend at the ends, but I saw lots of other girls go for "The Mai-Tai", which is beachy, loose waves), and you're out the door in about half an hour, including washing time.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Not gonna lie: Father's Day is a tough one. Dads - at least my dad, anyway - are historically reluctant to tell you what they like (unlike, say, mothers, who will happily provide itemized lists and links to appropriate purchasing outlets). Dads With Hobbies are a bit easier, but sometimes you need to step outside the golf ball box.

Clockwise from far left: 

1. King's County Distillery products: My friends Colin and David own New York City's oldest operating whiskey distillery (really), and make hand-crafted moonshine and bourbon using traditional processes and "unorthodox distilling equipment." It's good stuff. Click here to find stores and order online.
