| Strange how the greatest places on the planet need to love things from somewhere else. I fell in love with this shower gel in a glorious hotel in Venice called Hotel Flora. My dear brother found me a replacement at its source, in NYC. C. O. Bigelow lavender and peppermint shower gel. I need to return to NYC. I'm out of shower gel. Anyone going to 6th Ave? |

| Funny twist of fate. This gorgeous hand cream (that is just as great on the feet) is from Burkina Faso, the first country I ever visited outside of North America. Made with shea butter, this cream's source was developed by L'Occitane in a cooperative development program with Burkina women (Burkinabe) and grows as a nut on the African shea tree. This is fortunately a store in my hood, so the only thing I currently stock of my favourite things! |

| The perfect small drinking glass. From Chef et Sommelier, the 7.25 oz (220 ml) Sensation Vigne tumbler weighs 180g, is 11.1 cm tall and 6.1 cm wide that I enjoyed immensely drinking water on a Porter flight to and from Chicago last fall. I may have found an Ontario source, Zenan zenan, so I am one step closer to acquiring a set of them! My mason jars reused from pesto are a serviceable drinking vessel, but I hope to find the Holy Grail of glasses without going to France (although that is not entirely off the table yet, I hope!). Thank you, Porter, for disclosing your excellent choice. When will you fly to Paris? |
