Look Beautiful with Pylones' Accessories: Fun from France

Your daily beauty routine doesn't have to be dull.

With Pylones' grooming accessories such as this cute nail file, featured above, it might just make an otherwise boring task fun. 

Pylones (Pee-lone) takes everyday objects from cheese graters to umbrellas and makes them fresh and exciting. Did I hear a giggle?

Whenever I take anyone--children and adults--to this colorful and cheerful store they just smile when they walk through the door. 

Pylones-USA opened its first store in NYC on the Upper East Side. There are now 5 stores in Manhattan. The shop hails from France.

These featured accessories, all under $25, are dandy stocking stuffers. Also a good choice for the beauty-devotee who thinks she has everything.

Halloween "Sweet Treats" from Eleni's Cookies

Trick or Treat! Give me something good to eat!

Well, here's your treat. 

Four adorable handmade sugar cookies from Eleni's in NYC. "Sweet Treats" for your sweet tooth.

One of my first stops whenever I'm at Manhattan's Chelsea Market is Eleni's. The store's impressive lineup of cookies changes with the season. You'll have a selection of cookies to choose from.

The cookies at Eleni's now have a fall theme. There are cookie squirrels, acorns and colorful leaves. Perfect for Thanksgiving. In the summer look for flip flops and Hawaiian shirts.

You can also pop into Eleni's for a buttercream cupcake! And I do!

So this Halloween don't give candy to those trick-or-treaters in your family. Put Eleni's cookies in their bag instead. (And save one for yourself!)
