i say, let me clear my throat. again

so everyone and their mother has been taxed with the season's various cold and flu offerings, leaving behind that awesome, hard-to-miss, even-harder-to-hide lingering cough.

like that unwanted guest who has worn out their welcome, lingering coughs stick around and generally make a nuisance of themselves at every opportunity. you are ready to resume your life, already in progress but this cough-up-both-your-lungs cough is telling one and all that you, my friend are still in the throes of illness and need to be avoided at all costs.

sigh.

enter delsym. a deadly cough silencer. that works for 12 hours. but is does just that - puts a stop to that hacking, hanging on cough. so that you can get on with life, sans awful cough. and friends and co-workers will no longer feel as if you are the harbinger of the black death.

available at drugstores and grocery stores across the country. delsym - demand it, buy it and put an end to that cough!

got milk?

got milk?



not the good-for-you stuff from cows longweekendstylers, but the sprayable goodness in a bottle from fantastic perfume purveyor, toyko milk.



cannot. stop. spraying tokyo milk's gin & rosewater 12. like every hour on the hour, day after day for weeks on end now. this has been my sole sensory obsession.




in an almost-too-perfect-it's-heartbreaking simple rectangular bottle with a not quite apothecary-esque-but-better printed brown label, tokyo milk's gin & rosewater 12 is an addicting concoction of citrus zest, rosewood, mimosa and mandarin along with the aforementioned gin and rosewater.


not really a "rose" nose myself, there is something absolutely fresh in a cucumber kinda way that makes the rose note in this blend new and therefore palatable to me. i literally cannot stop spraying it on my wrists despite the fact that gin & rosewater doesn't fade away but merely melts into your skin, leaving a soft, clean, rose mixed with citrus behind. i just want to keep smelling it anew. all day long.


tokyo milk's song in D minor 13 (recalling a lush hawaiian jungle full of exotic gardena) and paper & cotton 17 (smelling EXACTLY of those 2 ingredients, so sublimely delish) as well as the aptly named cherry bomb 5 and let them eat cake 11 also come up on the scent radar, should you be looking for something to rock your senses.


available online at www.apothica.com, check out the full range of tokyo milk products including lip balm, solid perfume and soap. yummer.
