My Trunk is Burnt

Tree trunk to be exact.  And not just burnt once but three times.  What am I talking about?  The Triple Burnt Black Collection from Andrianna Shamaris.  Solid teak and iron wood have been burnt three times and sealed to create organic side, coffee, and dining tables.  They would play nice against some metal and glass pieces for some juxtaposition.  Contact andriannashamarisinc.com for prices.

Bell Book & Candle Restaurant in the West Village

For those who really try to eat locally and green it can be difficult at times.  Luckily, many of the newest restaurants in New York City are getting on board with this trend and for good reason.  Using local ingredients helps reduce the carbon footprint and supports our local economy.  Bell Book & Candle is taking it one step further but growing their own rooftop produce.  You can't get any fresher than that.
You could easily walk by this inconspicuous restaurant but you'd be missing out on a truly unique experience.  It's located in a basement level space on a quite block.  Once inside your see how elegant the space is.
The menu is well edited and there are some standout items such as the warm pretzels, rooftop mixed green salad, suckling pig, and "gin & tonic" wild salmon.  Do your part and help support your local restaurant now!

Restore Your Hair Overnight

I'm always looking for the next big thing in haircare to help keep my fine and color-treated hair in the best condition possible.  I've tried many different products and while some work ok most don't do all that they promise.  So, when I heard about a new product that works overnight to help repair dry, damaged, and unmanageable hair I was notably excited.  Kronos Phyx Intensive Hair Repair Masque claims to improve hair strength, increase volume, and repair split ends.  It has been rated the number 1 overnight hair product by Good Housekeeping.  I will have to post an update after I use this product for a couple weeks.  So far, from the reviews I have read, it looks like I'll have a positive follow up for all of you.  It's $29.95 (including shipping) on dermstore.com.

The Adult Beanbag Chair

Some of you might have had a cozy and fun beanbag chair when you were growing up.  I certainly did and thought it was the best thing to sit in while watching a little TV or hanging with my friends.  Now that I'm older and my aesthetic has matured a typical beanbag chair wouldn't look right in my home.  The Ottoman and Pumpkin collection from Ligne Roset is the grown up version for the modern family.  They come in a variety of shapes, colors, and materials to suit your lifestyle.  Sometimes you never quite have to grow up.  Starting at $1,055.00 at ligne-roset-usa.com.
