I love all of these retro product comebacks!  I definitely had an old school plastic Timex with the signature Indiglo backlit display that I got at a drugstore when I was in grade school.  Now the original simple plastic Timex watch that was popular in the 1980’s has been released in new vibrant colors and updated designs as the Timex 80.
I first spotted the Timex 80 on high-end fashion online retailer Net-A-Porter’s website and found it quite amusing that this simple little watch was now being sold next to Christian Louboutins.  But I also have to admit that I immediately …read more

I posted awhile ago about the most comfortable plastic headband that I discovered from the Goody Ouchless collection.  I’ve been trying out more of their products to examine this whole “ouchless” idea to find out if they’ve really done their research and somehow made plastic hair accessories comfortable.  I am happy to report that the Goody Ouchless collection now has a 100% money-back guarantee if you don’t find the piece that you have purchased to be comfortable!  You really can’t go wrong with that.

My new discovery is the OuchlessFlex Claw Clips.  I call these things “banana clips” but I guess …read more
