Garnet Hill is currently offering
30 percent off all of the towels in the shop. I know that my towels have seen far, far better days, so I'll definitely be hitting up this sale. Some of you may be expecting guests for the
holidays, so perhaps you should consider giving them a fresh bath sheet to dry off with.

If your bank account is suffering, your
Summer Style needn't suffer too. One cheap way to decorate your home this month is with beach towels. A Domino reader did so in her '70s Venice, CA home, and you'd never guess that it cost her under $20 for the project.

If, like me, you have fond teen memories of the beloved mix tape, then you might find yourself breathing a nostalgic sigh at the sight of this
Mix Tape Kitchen Towel ($9.50). Each 100 perent cotton flower sack kitchen towel is silk screened with a print of a large mix tape in blue ink. Since each one is screened by hand, yours will be unique, just like that mix tape from 1992 that your first high school boyfriend passed to you in the hall between Algebra I and AP Biology.

- Have a friend stand behind you and hold onto the other end of the towel.
- As you straighten your arms above you, your friend will add a little resistance.

If you've yet to cash in on the
faux bois trend, now's the time. A bona fide bargain shopper, I couldn't bring myself to pay full price for Martha Stewart's Faux Bois collection for Macy's, but now that some items are nearly 40 percent off, I'll gladly pony up. I'm loving the
Martha Stewart Collection Faux Bois Towels ($5.99-$13.99), in particular.

If you're still drying off with the ratty bath towels you arrived with at your freshman college dorm, it's probably time to ante up and welcome some fresh new towels to your linen closet. I cannot tell you how much of a difference it will make in your morning cleansing routine. Thankfully, you don't have to tread these new waters at the expense of style or your wallet.

If you've ever been on a cruise, especially one patronized by kids, your maid may have transformed your towels into fun, yet somewhat disturbing, animal shapes. I have to admit I always wondered how to make them. Learn how to fold up your very own Babar when you .

When taking a Pilates or Yoga class, some people are just seriously prone to sweating, adding new dimensions to the term "sweating buckets."
