Brilliant Brunette Shampoo & ConditionerMy hairdresser keeps telling me that I need to use a low-Ph shampoo (oh, and he happens to have sell some for $35 a pop). I recently found this brand, which also has a low-Ph and works great with dyed hair like mine. I also heart the conditioner which smells like coconut and leaves my hair feeling super soft. Oh, and John Frieda also makes a line for blondes and redheads.

PlushLiving Split Pillow
My X chromosomes love throw pillows, and PlushLiving makes some really pretty ones. I especially like this one, which is made of silk satin and has a slightly asymmetrical brown and pink design.

Fairytale Dozen
It's hard to write about these brownies without drooling. Each morsel in this variety pack is moist and delicious, whether it's a peanut butter brownie, chocolate chip, caramel, or any of the other nine flavors. And the brownies are nice and big.
$32.00 for a dozen, Fairytale Brownies
No. 10 Card Folio Blossom
This bright stationary set is almost worth the ordeal of buying stamps. Faced with so many cute cards and stickers, you'll have no choice but to dash off a handwritten missive.
$32.00, Paper Source
Sunny Seed Drops
Maybe it's just the February blues talking, but candy-covered sunflower seeds sound really great right about now. And I love the cheery, straight-outta-Kansas packaging.
$9.00, C.S. Post & Co.
Horn Dragonfly Napkin Rings
I'm not a napkin ring kind of gal (heck, I'm barely a napkin kind of gal), but if I were, I'd snap up these cute dragonfly napkin rings. They're carved out of water buffalo horn, but somehow look ready to fly off of the table.
$19.50, Sur La Table
Gold Star Ballerinas
These sparkly gold ballerina flats can dress up any outfit and will have you comfortably dancing all night. And check out the cheetah print on the inner sole. Meow.
$128.00, Anthropologie
Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer
My face is having an affair with this lotion. It goes on creamy and rich, but somehow manages to feel light on my skin. And it has a 15 SPF sunscreen built right in. I think Kiehl's has ruined me for any other face lotion. But I'm still trying to decide if I'm brave enough (read: willing pony up $25) to test out the tinted variety. $16.50, Kiehl's
Silk Travel Pillowcase
Sleeping on silk supposedly helps prevent wrinkles (or at least pillow lines). Use it on your home pillow or take it with you on trips to slip over the hotel linens. Each pillowcase comes with a matching silk satchel. $48.00, Room Service Home
Boston Warehouse Monkey Peeler
Monkeys love peeling bananas, and now you can make them peel other things too. This orange monkey peeler from Boston Warehouse actually makes cleaning carrots and potatoes sort of fun. If only it screeched like a monkey when you used it, I would eat carrots every day. $7.99, Target
Dog-On-It Gift Wrap Roll
I love me some little dog wrapping paper. These 19.5-inch by 27-inch sheets have kind of a vintage feel and feature more than a dozen breeds of cute little pooches. $6.50 for two sheets, Loft Party
Red Tiger’s Eye CellCatch
This will clash with some cell phones, but it's a stunning alternative to that uggo gray strap that comes with every clamshell phone. The round tiger's eye beads transform your mobile phone into a true accessory. $42.00, Tray6
Jeffrey Campbell Suede Wrap Boot
Every woman I know has trouble finding boots that fit right. The shaft is always too tight or too loose or somehow both at the same time. That's why I think these boots are really cool. You just wrap the grey fabric around your calves until you look like a character from the Breakfast Club. Claire and Allison would be so jealous. $150.00, Urban Outfitters
Victoriana Globe Vase
What a beautiful way to display some red roses (or any other blooms). This little seven-inch tall vase, made of refined porcelain, has an Edwardian elegance.
$25.00, Rosanna, Inc.
Snow and Graham Valentine’s Day Cards
If you need a V-Day card for your squeeze, Luxe Paperie sells some super cute ones. I have a crush on the Snow and Graham snuggle bunnies, the "I want to take you out" Chinese food take-out containers, and the "hey there cupcake" card.
$3.50, Luxe Paperie
