Steal of the Day: Stainless Steel Soap
Stainless steel has magical deodorizing/odor neutralizing power that can wipe the pungent scents from things like garlic, onion, and fish away from your skin.

Love It or Hate It? Harry Allen Bestow Vase/Candle Holder
A certified French film fanatic, I did a double take when I saw the Harry Allen Bestow Vase/Candle Holder ($95), because it conjures up Jean Cocteau's La Belle et La Bête, particularly the scene with the arms that outstretch from the wall, holding a candelabra. This vase/ candle holder is from the Harry Allen Reality series, which consists of objects whose form is "sampled" from existing objects. This particular product is a highly detailed cast of the designer's own hands.
