Barneys New York, known for being a luxury lifestyle retailer, has just announced that the brand is launching a new cannabis concept in Beverly Hills, CA in March. According to the press release, Barneys has partnered with upscale cannabis company Beboe for “The High End,” which will be located inside the Barneys New York Beverly Hills. “I’m so thrilled that cannabis culture has come so far that it can exist and feel perfectly at home in such a prestigious context as Barneys New York,” said Beboe’s co-founder Scott Cambpell. “Barneys has never been shy about pushing creative boundaries in retail, and it makes perfect sense that they would be the first to support and elevate cannabis to new levels.” The new shop will feature exclusive products, like custom-made blown glass pipes from Caleb Siemmon and gold rolling papers from Shine, as well as jewelry, CBD-infused beauty items, vape pens, and other accessories. Beboe reps will also be available to talk about their cannabis strains, and customers can purchase via a delivery service.

Today is the LAST DAY to grab a Starbucks Valentine’s Day drink, which this year is the Cherry Mocha. “Returning for a second year, Starbucks Cherry Mocha highlights flavors of chocolate and cherry,” according to the press release. “Inspired by chocolate covered cherries, the Cherry Mocha starts with a slightly sweet mocha sauce and candied cherry syrup melted together with hot espresso. We then add the steamed milk of your choice and top with whipped cream and a dusting of sugar and cocoa Valentine’s sprinkles.” While you’re at it, grab a Valentine’s Day cake pop or a heart-shaped sugar cookie! You can share if you wish, but we don’t really recommend it. Treat yourself!
The hottest new trend in Valentine’s gifts is just one of those things where you ask yourself WHY you’d never thought of it. Instead of giving flowers this year, people are gifting each other with Makeup Bouquets. And with only ONE DAY left until Valentine’s Day, this gift idea is perfect for anyone as it can be filled with just about anything.

First make a bouquet cone, using paper, cellophane, or whatever you have handy. Then fill the cone with your recipient’s favorite self-care tools and products – lipsticks, eyeshadows, makeup sponges, creams, face masks, beard oil, grooming tools, perfumes or colognes, or heck, even snacks – literally anything works here. Then you can either add a few strategically placed flowers, or leave them out. The choice is all yours with this gift, which makes it both thoughtful and easy to create for EVERYONE on your list.
Here’s a video to help you DIY a goodie bouquet that’s Instagram-worthy:

Last week, Walmart unveiled a new line of furniture and decorations called MoDRN – and the collections actually look really stylish. According to the website, the line “features an emphasis on high-quality craftsmanship, trend-driven design and unique furniture that was designed to meld seamlessly with your own personal style.” The featured collections are especially chic-looking, and the rooms are well thought-out and appealing. “The line incorporates high-end materials – think velvet and performance leather upholstery fabrics, Carrara marble table tops, native and exotic veneers, hand-brushed metal and brass accents, and solid wood features in white oak and walnut,” according to the press release. “Prices range from $700 – $899 for sofas, $599 – $649 for beds, $20 – $60 for barware, and $199 – $699 for indoor and outdoor dining tables and chairs.”

Though the whole endeavor is reminiscent of Ikea’s business model, that last collection in particular is almost a copycat style. But we’re not complaining! Just like Ikea, Walmart’s new MoDRN line is also searchable by room. Check it all out HERE.
