A Few Of My Favorite Summer Things!
Summer is my favorite time of year! As you get ready to party by the pool, stay cool or add that je ne sais quoi to make you look radiant, I’ve got you covered.
The Spa Dress is a slip-on-towel that doesn't drop when you need a towel to stay UP!
It’s practical for everything as a dress-before-you-dress but versatile as a sundress or skirt on the beach, by the pool or anywhere your spa excursion takes you, at home or away.
Toasteworthy
Want to Make Your Party POP?!
If you’re in the DC area, you must have Toastworthy at your next soiree! It’s a vintage airstream/mobile champagne pop-up bar with an interactive photo booth. They had me at MOBILE champs bar!! Ideal for weddings, birthday bashes or any special event, they’ll help you capture the moments in life that are worth toasting.
Gekks
C’mon admit it….your feet stink! Yes, they do! In the summer, all feet stink! Not only do your feet smell, but your shoes smell too! And socks, well, socks pose all sorts of problems. You're constantly adjusting no show socks from sliding down your heel, and they still show. Gekks, solve all these problems. Just peel backing of Gekks into your shoe, apply a little pressure, and you’ve essentially got an adhesive footie that no one will see! You can refresh Gekks by washing them or rubbing hand sanitizer on the adhesive surface…for reals!

Baked Bear
Founders Rob Robbins and Shane Stanger opened the first Baked Bear, in San Diego, four years ago. They have slowly expanded east, and have finally opened in North Bethesda’s booming, Pike & Rose. You mix and match freshly baked brownies, doughnuts, and cookies…YES…ALL THREE CHOICES…. for the top and bottom. You stuff this delectable “sandwich” with yummy ice cream flavors like rocky road, salted caramel, and ‘bear batter.’ But wait, it gets better! Your delicacy is “pressed” in a magical machine that warms the top and bottom but keeping the ice cream cold in the center, before they are rolled in toppings. Options include brownie bits, Fruity Pebbles, mini chocolate chips, and whipped cream, among others.
