Travel Jewelry Pouch

How have I never seen nor owned this beauty? I feel like it might have been only available to women of a certain class, but now some deviant at Pottery Barn snatched the idea from the higher ups and made it available to us simple folk for the completely (un)reasonable price of $80.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful. I'm definitely going to put it on my Christmas list. Look at it! It's gorgeous! And so practical! Can't wait to be a woman of a certain class.

Astoria Bier & Cheese

Remember how I'm a big fan of Murray's in the city? Well, with the arrival of these (two!) locations of Astoria Bier & Cheese in (duh) Astoria, I never have to get on an E train again.

This is the burrata plate I ate.

Full disclosure: it's not as good as the burrata at The Smith, but it's still pretty memorable. Here's their BLT.

I had a bite of that one and it was really good. I'm not crazy into beer, but apparently this place is known for it. Why is it called bier and not beer? I don't know, but I'm guessing that's what makes it more expensive? Just a theory. Anyway, if you're in Astoria looking for good cheese-centric restaurants, this is the place.

Sidenote: Happy Birthday to the best there is, the kindest kindergarten teacher on this planet and my best friend in the universe. You're wicked and I love you, Harmeet.

Dog Playing Dead

I can't describe how much this made me laugh.

Everything about this is fantastic.

Paper Towels vs. Hand Dryers

Eucalyptus In The Shower

“Tie eucalyptus to your shower head with twine. Steam will rise up towards the eucalyptus, filling the bathroom with a refreshing scent.”

I heard this idea from my Harmeet who found it on this tumblr. I'm sorry but this is a PERFECT idea. Love this so much.
