Beauty Find: The Eyes Have It
Category:
Mom Beauty
What: Intensive Eye Cream from kaplanMD
Why: If there’s one product I can really justify splurging on, it’s eye cream. In my opinion, there’s nothing that will betray lack of sleep or the constant mom fatigue than your eyes. If it’s not the dark circles, it’s puffiness. If it’s not fine lines, it’s redness. Find me an eye cream that makes me look I haven’t been up all night, and I’m sold.
I absolutely love the
Intensive Eye Cream from kaplanMD. Developed by a Beverly Hills dermatologist, this is more than just a beauty product. The formula is backed up with real science. The eye cream uses Hawaiian Algae Extract to inhibit collagen breakdown (minimizing fine lines and wrinkles). Red Tea and Sweet Orange antioxidants reduce puffiness, while Peptides fortify thinning skin. Avocado oil provides exceptional hydration, while Shittake Mushroom Extract tightens the skin around the eyes. I have to say that this alchemy of ingredients really works, giving me the look that I’m actually well-rested. (Even when I’m not, which is most of the time.)
Price: $110

Poll: Is this Juicy Couture Maclaren Stroller Just a Little Too Much?
Category:
Children Strollers Poll
I’m all for getting the best quality stroller out there. I had not one, but two Maclaren strollers for my son. They were well worth the money, and they withstood a lot of walking around New York City.
However, I think that the
Juicy Couture Maclaren Stroller ($450.00) might be a prime example of money not well spent. True, you get the impeccable Maclaren quality. But the brown and pink Juicy design and branding seem like a bit much to impose on a baby girl. And the additional $120 for the brown footmuff makes me long for the days when I just wrapped a blanket around my son’s legs.

DadFinds Friday: Bring Patrick Dempsey Home (Sort Of) with Unscripted
Category:
Dad
What: Patrick Dempsey Unscripted Fragrance
Why: I admit I’m not a regular watcher of Grey’s Anatomy, but I am a big fan of its star Patrick Dempsey and have been for years. The guy definitely has something special. Now he’s sharing a little of that through
Unscripted, a men’s fragrance for Avon where his extremely lucky wife, Jilian Dempsey, serves as Global Creative Color Director.
Apparently Dempsey has been very involved with creating the fragrance. So what does McDreamy smell like? Spicy, musky, a bit bold and of course, sexy. My husband and I both found Unscripted very appealing and like the simple and classic bottle.
When you check out Unscripted, you can watch a video of Dempsey looking very sexy in a black leather jacket and jeans and even download
Patrick Dempsey Wallpaper. You’ll learn more about the handsome guy behind the sexy scent, including his Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing. Is this guy perfect or what?
Price: $32

Toy Find: A Sunny Stroll for Baby
Category:
Children Toys
What: Tiny Love Sunny Stroll
Why: Here’s a fun, versatile toy that baby can enjoy from day one. Attach the Sunny Stroll to baby’s car seat or stroller (we love the no-fuss attachment clips), and baby will be amused by the bright colors, crinkly sounds and soft fabrics. That covers most of her senses, although she might try to “taste” it when she reaches the stage of grabbing and pulling.
Another reason to love it...it’s totally baby-powered. Batteries are not required.
Price: $15.95
