if a product has good packaging, i am 75% more likely to buy it than the same generic product. my wallet doesn’t like this, but what can i say, i love pretty things! especially if they are going to be openly displayed in our house. here are a few of my current favorites:

1/ cafe du monde – come on, who doesn’t love a good orange coffee tin sitting pretty in the kitchen? (the coffee actually tastes good too)

2/ sydney hale co. candles – this girl turned me on to this woodsmokey scent a few months ago. when we were in downtown la a few weeks ago, poketo had a few left in stock and i’m so glad i took one home with me. unfortunately i can’t afford this expensive habit considering i nearly burned through the whole thing in a week!

3/ mrs. meyer’s clean day – i’ve been buying mrs. meyer’s products for a few years now and i’m a big fan. dish soaps, hand soaps, all purpose cleaners, laundry detergent…they’ve got it all.

4/ murray’s original pomade – a few months ago reis needed some pomade for his hair and since i know nothing about hair products whatsoever, i picked the one that looked the coolest.
