Kudos to Carrie

I've just discovered a great place for holiday shopping: Bryant Park, New York, NY.

Scott and I were in the park Wednesday afternoon, enjoying the scene and a sandwich, when I stumbled upon a booths with great gifts for the young and creative.

There were earrings and necklaces, paper goods and baby gifts. I bought myself a pair of purple teardrop earrings ($19) from designer Carrie Saxl. I also liked the pretty journals and pencil cases ($12).

You can find Carrie's designs at Booth #C03. This booth is located near 6th Avenue. I always like supporting local designers and artists.

Keep it Simple

I'm always skeptical of facial wipes because they usually sting my face. Also, they often leave a yucky film on my skin. But recently I was introduced to Simple's facial wipes. They are all the rage in the U.K.  You can buy them in New York at Duane Reade. They are great for sensitive skin because they have no perfumes, dyes, or oil and they are alcohol-free. But they still remove eye makeup. Oh yeah, they're budget-friendly at $5.99 a package. Can't beat that.
