Something on your mind? Chat about it here. Readers turned me on to Tervis products a while ago, and while I like them for water glasses, I’m loving the new Tervis mug I just bought.

I really liked Nars Orgasm (pictured) but then it shattered (yaaaay), then I bought Tarte blush, which is OK but a bit bright for me. Do you have any bronzer/blush combos you like?

Something on your mind? Chat about it here. This shoe has 1,988 (!) positive reviews at Nordstrom, and I’m kind of digging it — it reminds me of a slightly more feminine version of Doc Martens (which I’ve been thinking about since I saw Sheryl Sandberg wearing them recently-ish in a casual outfit).
