Spoiled Rotten: Breakfast in Bed

17 Aug

Good afternoon! Today’s finds are all about the joys of breakfast in bed- something very few people can resist.

Clearance Bedding Set 4 Piece Luxury Full-Queen Heather Bailey by SethGrayson

Wowwie! I have been on the hunt for a new bedroom set and I have to say that until today, I had never thought to look for one on Etsy (the irony, eh?). This set by SethGrayson is pretty close to ‘exactly what I’m looking for’. It seems that all adult bedroom sets are either extremely feminine or bachelor geared. Don’t married men get a little tired of having a frilly bedroom?

I also really like to theme my house and this is a perfect springtime set. It’s too bad it will be gone by the time I can afford it. The price is incredible.

Indulge Breakfast Tray by SEHfab

If you’re going to be having breakfast in bed, you should probably have a breakfast tray. SEHfab presents a very elegant, super romantic tray that I only wish I had space for in my home. I love that it is a slide-your-feet-under-without-knocking-your-food-over type because I’m very clumsy and would knock over all of Adam’s hard work just trying to sit up to eat.

I also love the small dip in the center where the food would be. It isn’t too deep so as to be annoying when reaching for some treats, but is also not so shallow where the plates would slide off in their journey from the kitchen to the bedroom.

Women's Silk Babydoll by narasilk

Breakfast in bed also mean still being in your pajays. While I’m normally a fan of boxers and a tank in the summer and flannals and a tee in the winter, narasilk‘s babydoll has got me thinking a little sexier. I never feel very sexy in the morning, but with the right pajamas, anything is possible.

Clean Shaven

7 Aug

Good Evening! I feel like I don’t focus enough on the men of Etsy. As a woman, it’s very easy to get carried away making a wishlist for myself, but I think it’s just as important to highlight not only male artists, but items made specifically for men! The more I think about it, the more I want to have a day of the week for a man post.

Manday?

Testosterone Tuesday?

I couldn’t think of anything clever for Sunday, but here’s some stuff for men anyway.

Cocobolo Wood 24mm Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush Handle (handmade) by PCwoodcraftandPens

I have no idea how this type of shaving works (even though I’ve watched Sweeney Todd like a million times) but this shaving brush is really REALLY awesome. PCwoodcraftandPens also uses badger hair which I am not sure if it is standard or popular, but since I have never seen badger hair ANYTHING (that I know of), I took a step back and said, “whoa.”

My favourite part of this brush though has to be the natural wooden handle. I’m all for fance and elaborations, but there is something so simple and masculine about natural wood that I love.

Wostenholm Straight Razor in custom scales by JPColeStudios

Now any man out there who has the sand to shave with a straight razor has my utmost respect. Then again, I’m the type of girl who can knick her knees with a razor made of cotton balls so maybe that isn’t saying much. Point is, I think they are really classy and impressive.

JPColeStudios takes it one step further, refurbishing these old beauties and adding that gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous metal work in an intricate, yet not at all feminine design. I never pictures scroll work to be so manly!

Seriously, this is the razor of a man sporting Hessians and a cravat; a man who can wear ruffles and lace and look damn sexy doing it.

BLACK TEA and LEATHER Aftershave Lotion by Man Cave Soapworks

I never really understood the point of  aftershave nor do I have any knowledge of it’s purpose, but please. Anything leather scented is welcome in my home. Actually, it is encouraged. I have a leather car jar from Yankee Candle because leather seats weren’t enough. Aftershave or not, I’m pretty sure that if I bought this for Adam, I would probably end up stealing it for myself.

But it’s not just this. ManCave1 (Man Cave Soapworks)’s entire shop is filled with manly grooming products. In fact, it’s a no girls allowed zone! (Sorry; I was so excited I had to share! =P) I feel like so many men nowadays use the products that their wives bring home for them and just roll with it. Come on guys; bath and body isn’t just  for the ladies!

I’m not sure if I have them convinced, so ladies, treat your man to some specially-for-men-super-manly B&B products.
