Stuff That Looks Interesting That I'll Never Get Around To Checking Out

Rocamojo: coffee made from organic soybeans. "It's completely caffeine free. It has no fat, no sugar, no carbohydrates or cholesterol. It's high in protein (13 grams) and high in fiber (6 grams). It contains high levels of recommended daily allowances of riboflavin, niacin, calcium, amino acids and iron. It promotes cardiovascular health. It contains isoflavones, an excellent source of antioxidants." And it supposedly tastes good. Maybe I could work for them....

I don't do makeup at all (at all) but this Nars Body Glow stuff looks interesting. "Monoi de Tahiti oil conjures the luxury and tradition of French Polynesia in Nars Body Glow. The bud of the tiare flower is soaked in the finest coconut oil and then blended for a translucent chocolate shimmer. For exquisite and naturally fragrant, glowing skin, use daily after bath, after sun exposure, or to warm pale winter skin. " Not that I need to be any browner, even on my pastiest days. I wish I'd been to French Polynesia so I could make an informed comparison as to the luxuriousness and traditional quality of the body glow experience. I'm still not sure what this does exactly. You put it on like lotion, but it's kind of like... well I guess it's bronzer? I'm not familiar with the uses and application of bronzer.

Even though it's hideously celebrity chic, I kinda want to check out some Ugg Boots. I really just want to try them on. I don't think I'd actually buy them. When you live in southern California, do you really need big fluffy boots? Upon further perusal, they have a whole bunch of styles I might like. But I ain't tryinna pay $70 for some damn Fluff Slides. If I'm gonna buy boots from Down Under, I want these babies.

Kiln Enamel Works makes all sorts of snazzy jewelry, mobiles, wall plaques and table top art. "Enameling is the centuries old process of firing stained glass onto a metal base in a ceramics kiln." I'm not so big on the jewelry (surprise), but the home items look pretty cool. If you live in New York you can find it all over the place, but you gotta dig a little harder (or check this website) to find your nearest vendor in other parts of the country.

Now a confession. I saw all this stuff on an episode of The View. And they got it all from DailyCandy.com, "the ultimate source for the latest need-to-know information about fashion, food and fun. It's like getting an email from your clever, unpredictable and totally in-the-know best friend who always has the scoop on everything." You can browse the site, or subscribe to the newsletter which comes in a NY edition, an LA edition, an everybody else edition, and a kids edition for "hip parents as well as the young at heart."
