Love the scent of clean laundry? Downy has ingeniously taken it one step further with the creation of Downy Infusions, a liquid fabric softener previously known as Downy Simple Pleasures, available in six luxurious scents: Honey Flower, Lavender Serenity, Orchid Allure, Spice Blossom, Citrus Spice, and Sage Jasmine. I recommend treating your linens to one spectacular scent, and wash your delicates in another. Pair the new scent of Downy Unstopables Beads in Shimmer with it’s mate — the Honey Flower from the Infusions line for extra longevity and lasting power, up until your next wash!

Leaving with some samples in tow, I can’t wait to do my laundry and test them out; I think that is certainly a first!

In honor of Marilyn Monroe, Drybar has teamed up with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment to introduce a new, limited time style – the “The Old Fashioned,” which is exactly what you’d imagine of a starlet’s coif during Monroe’s heyday. For the month of August at all Drybar locations, you too can give the retro-glam hairstyle a whirl. And, it’s the same price as Drybar’s other menu blow out styles ($40 in NYC, $35 elsewhere). Channel the glamour of the style while you relax at a gorgeous marble bar and watch the FOREVER MARILYN: THE BLU-RAY COLLECTION as it streams on large flatscreen TVs throughout the salon.
