Grace Fave: Wellspring Travel Cases

Clockwise from top left: contact lens case, $12.  Pill case, $20.
Jewelry case, $39.  Scrunchy case, $12.

Organization: for some, it's a lifestyle.  For others - many others - it's more of a pipe dream.  Try as we might, it can be hard to keep everything completely orderly all the time; there always seem to be those little odds and ends that go missing all the time or never stay in one place.  Wouldn't it be nice to have a convenient and cute solution for those items?  Done!  We recently got a collection of cases by Wellspring in the store, and believe us when we say that they are lifesavers.  As you can see above, we have the contact lens case, the pill case, the jewelry travel case, and the "scrunchy case."  Here are a few of our favorite things about each case:

• Contact lens case: comes with cleaning solution bottle and a built-in mirror
• Pill case: includes eight handy compartments and a card for medication information
• Jewelry case: includes removable drawstring pouch; softly lined to keep jewelry safe
• Scrunchy case: collapsible, and comes with built-in mirror; perfect for coins, makeup, hair elastics, etc.

If one of your New Year's resolutions was to be more organized, it's not too late!  These handy little cases could be your best friends.

There's a Celebrity In Our Midst...

Fun fact: did you know that Grace co-owner Candy's son, Jesse Kramer, is famous?  Well, he's one step closer now!  As the founder of Manhattan's Brooklyn Taco, Jesse recently stopped by New York's CBS 2 studio to share some of his wisdom.

and Mary Calvi how it's done.

Jesse taught anchors Rob Morrison and Mary Calvi how to make a delicious breakfast taco - so delicious, in fact, that other members of the CBS 2 team gathered around the food "like sharks!"  Jealous?  Don't be - you can get the recipe right here.  And don't forget to check out the video below:
