BellaSugar's Gift Guide: Your Cousin, The Dude
Yesterday's gift guide focused on female cousins, so today's gift ideas are all for male cousins.

Love It or Hate It? Candy Wrapper Makeup Bag
This Nahui Ollin makeup bag ($45) reminds me of a funky, low-fi cousin of the famed Bottega Veneta woven bags. But this one is made of Tootsie Roll wrappers. It's an unusual idea for storage, but do you think it's unusual and cool?

When I was little, I knew of only two nail shapes: dagger (like that of my then mean older cousin — ouch) and bitten down to the nubs (like me — also, ouch). While you can wear your nails however you please, I've got some guidelines on choosing which nail shape might suite you best.
