Stifle the Stench

Sure there are days when you feel so good that you walk around as if your poo were perfume, but you're not fooling anyone, especially your roommate. Using a bathroom, other than the one in your apartment, to do your business has always made you hesitant, although the alternative is monumentally more undesirable so, you try to be quick about it and not look at anyone as you wash your hands and sprint out the door. Today's DailyCandy highlights a product that solves all of your poo induced panic when in public. It's called Poof and it's a liquid toilet deodorizer. Just put a few droplets in the bowl before you put your bum there and the only scent you get will be Japanese Mint. Just pop the little bottle in your purse and everyone might really start buying into your whole 'my shit doesn't stink' attitude. 

Stunningly Stylish

Spring is in the air, the sun has finally decided to show itself after several grey, rainy days, and you were actually motivated to go outside during your lunch hour today. The only thing that's NOT screaming spring, your wardrobe. Lucky for you, Topshop is now open in SoHo and their incredibly knowledgeable style advisers are available to help you update your look. This type of service is usually only available at high-end stores like Neiman Marcus, where the super cute dresses they bring to your dressing room are priced around $1,000, but at Topshop you can embrace trendy pieces for prices closer to $100. Of course, the service is free and there is no obligation to buy, so there's no downside. The new SoHo store and its line of spring clothing are calling your name, what are you waiting for?!
