UPDATE:  Picked at random, Rara (#4) is the winner!

Ahh, the travel bug has bitten again…hard. After a year and a half of exclusively traveling within the states, my recent trip to Europe has been an amazing distraction. I spent most of my return trip planning my next international excursions. (A trip to China this fall was already in the works, but I am most excited about possibly traveling to India and some Middle Eastern countries early next year).

The process of traveling itself comes with tons of hassles, but also a set of unique pastimes. For example, with the right companion, I could sit for hours in front of airport runways watching planes land and take off. I also immensely enjoy looking at where each plane is flying and imagine a future trip there. And lastly, I love (duh) hitting up as many duty free shops as I can.

Before my recent trip to London, I read up on Heathrow’s newest Terminal 5 - the recently completed hub of British Airways. This one terminal is actually the largest single span building in the UK. In addition to being huge, it is sleek and chic, bright and clean, and houses the best shopping you could find at any European airport. After 3 hours here, I am convinced that Terminal 5 is destination in itself. (more…)

Happy August! I’m actually heading to Prague today for the second half of my European adventure, but wanted to let all of you stateside know about a fabulous eco-friendly e-store called Ekoh.  Ekoh is an in-store and online boutique - the green arm of The Cosmetics Market, an upscale cosmetics retailer.  Ekoh was developed when The Cosmetics Market realized that being green is not a trend; it’s a way of life and it is here to stay.  They carry an assortment of environmentally friendly and organic products to serve those who want more eco-aware brands.  They have an absolutely wonderful list of brands- some that I will be testing out myeslf for review in the coming weeks.

Ekoh carries: Body by Sonia Dakar, Care by Stella McCartney, Caudalie, REN, Sacred Locks and Tela among many others.  Check out the full list here.  And for this month, Ekoh has extended The Daily Obsession readers with a generous 20% off code: tdo20 valid until September.

How many of you have reusable bags that you reserve for trips to the grocery store? And how many times have you forgotten about them? For me, it’s been too many to count. Despite my efforts of actually leaving them in the car, I still manage to forget them to bring them with me into the store, 9 out of 10 times. (Totally a bummer whenever I’m at Trader Joe’s…the parking lot is always busy, so if you run out and get them, you’ll leave behind at least one angry driver waiting for a parking spot when you head back into the store. Never fun!)

Then I discovered flip & tumble bags - the most genius reusable bags ever. (more…)

We want to introduce you to Regent’s Secret, a fabulous sample sale website that recently launched! This site takes beloved brands like Joe’s Jeans and Dolce & Gabba, and offers their collections at 70%+ off. This week’s brand is Bread Denim, where you can score denim for between $39.50-$49.50.
