The Glamourai-Designed Schick Intuition Razor

Most of us usually toss our razors in the dank corners of the shower — and that, by the way, isn't a hot idea, since moisture can decrease the life of your blades. But the Schick Intuition Naturals razor (around $9) practically demands to be put on display.

When I visited Seattle recently, I asked Frida if I could pop in to Read more

Modern Cuckoo Clocks

In the 17th century, Europe was going through a mini-ice age. Temperatures were so low that milk would freeze in the pail between trips to the barn and the house, causing many villagers to think of alternative ways to earn a living.

Review of New Kat Von D Adora Perfume From Sephora

The multiply tattooed Kat Von D already has two perfumes out (Sinner and Saint), but now she's bowing a third, called Adora ($55). I checked the bottle out because it's rather pretty and has metallic panels inspired by the art of famed Art Nouveau illustrator Alphonse Mucha. When I actually got around to spritzing it, I was pleasantly surprised by the scent, too. It's a fruity floral, like most Read more
