Sonja Kashuk Eyes


$4.99 at target.com!  Now anyone that knows me, knows that I am a luxury product type of girl. Especially when it comes to anti-aging topical creams (Estee Lauder).  But it must be said that Sonja Kashuk lashes are a close second to MAC lashes.  Please do not get me wrong MAC glue is the best, there skin care and foundation blows, you might as well use Bonnie Bell. Meaning MAC product line is inferior and  for the juvenile population. Back to the lashes...they are easy to apply, if they don't fit perfect trim them from the inner eye, and remember practice makes perfect.  What a fabulous cheap thrill.

Turtle Black-and-Tan Pourer
The secret to pouring a good black and tan is to keep your beers separated by pouring the Guinness over the back of a spoon. The secret to giggling while you pour Black and Tans is to use this utterly unnecessary Turtle Black-and-Tan Pourer ($12) in place of the spoon.

Picturebook Frame

It's sentimental to have pictures of your friends on display. It's cool to have records hung on your wall. It's incredibly nerdy to have books framed and on your wall, but that's what this Picturebook Frame ($14) allows you to do and we are so down with it. Taped glasses and suspenders 4ever

Pooch Sport Bottle

Look, we love our dog, and we love the idea of only having to carry one water bottle on a long walk with said dog, but we're not going to drink out of this Pooch Sport Bottle($8) at the same time as Fido. Even if you put a picture of that on the bottle. We'll let our four legged friend have a slurp out of the bowl and once he's done, we'll get our H2O from the straw, keeping our face free from Fido's backsplash.

French Tips and Toes Manicure Pen

We just started growing our nails out again after three months of nail-biting deadlines and unpleasant road trips with the "other" side of the family.

But we are at "French manicure" length which brings us to theFrench Tips and Toes Manicure Pen ($8), a portable, white polish pen poised and ready for French manicure city.

The Pancake Pen


The Pancake Pen

Be the Picasso of pancakes (sorry, couldn't resist) when you use the Pancake Pen ($13) to turn out batch after batch of delightfully abstract shaped pancakes. Of course, you can always go for the plebian circle, but we think actually fulfilling your kids' requests for a bunny or the Flying Spaghetti Monster is infinitely cooler.

Real Men Love Everything Bacon

Having conquered and bacon-ified nearly every other condiment imaginable, lords of the cured pork J&D's have turned their sights to a longtime grillmaster favorite: the dry rub.

Conveniently packaged in a 5.2oz jar, which might just last you all the way through summer.
