Comments

Method seems to really understand how ugly 90% of the bath/body packaging is- they're product sticks out no matter how it's stocked. Really nice.

Also, I am also on the side of Monocle not being all that. It acts like it's one of those over-educated literary journals, then its crammed with adverts. In my opinion, it's one or the other.

And yeah, the website's pretty great.
