Living Color

Here's a shot of the new Philips Living Color lamp that I looooove! I get in trouble a lot for turning off all of our overhead lights too early in the evening for ambient lighting. I love a lamp, I love a dimmer and I'm constantly getting the "energy savings talk" from my architect because I insist fluorescent bulbs cast an ugly glow in my lamps. Well, problem solved people! I was asked to review Philips Living Color LED lamp and I'm smitten. This lamp is gorgeous even when it's off but let me tell you it's more fun than cocktails and back to back reruns of Community! It can be customized to over 16 million different shades of light AND you can control multiple lamps via remote control. It's awesome. I keep moving mine all over the house. It's awesome for a little bow chicka bow bow, for a party or simply for an evening of reading when you want to keep the boob tube off. If you like mood lighting than this is for you. Trust me, you'll love it. The remote has even survived a little dip in the loo. That's an important quality in my house. So, go get yourself one- you won't regret it! Philips is hosting a giveaway.

Land's End

True story. My husband complained to me that he needed new towels. Fast forward a couple of weeks to Land's End asking me if I would review their organic cotton bath towels and by the way I can keep two sets for myself. Ummmm, yes please! So, to be fair in my first editorial review (which some bloggers disapprove of but they didn't need towels as much as I did)I am comparing these to PB's cotton towels, Calvin Klein's Home towels and The Hotel Collection towels. Right off the bat, they are softer (still absorbent) and a smidge bigger. They are also made of 100% organic cotton which means that Al Gore and I can finally be friends. So, really that is about all one needs in a good towel. This is Varnish bringing you a word from our sponsor.
