Geek Beauty: No-Commitment Ombre Hair
Love the look of ombre colored hair, but don’t know if you want it permanently? Try Color Bug! This hair tool makes coloring your hair as easy and temporary as putting on makeup. It’s meant for the ombre trend that’s big right now, but can be used for highlights or any other fun style you may want to try. Take a look at how to apply:
My only concern is that it will leave your hair feeling stiff or chalky, but I’d still try it! Now if only they’d create a blue version so I can finally give myself those comic book-styled streaks I’ve always wanted…
Hair Bug is available in pink, purple, and orange for $31.95 each at CharmSupply.com.

Creative Wine Wrappers
Here’s another great thing from Fab.com today (I seriously need to buy stock in this company, or get a job there or something): Wine Wrappers. These are created by Studio Oh! and are a great way to present a bottle of wine as a gift, or cover up an ugly or inexpensive bottle for a party. I think the “Drink Me” label is perfect for an Alice in Wonderland themed event, and the “Rate this Wine” would make for a fun wine tasting night.
The labels are $2.50 each at Fab.com.

Geek Etiquette: Protect Your Table
The Geeky Hostess is gonna help you get your manners on! Have an etiquette question or topic suggestion? Email tara@geekyhostess.com!
Coasters are great for soaking up condensation, preventing rings from forming on your tables, and keeping the surface clean, but how often do you use them? How about placemats?
I encourage you to try using some table protectors this week. It may feel like a hassle at first, but the cleanliness of your table (and how fancy you feel while eating) may make you a convert.
Get the right coasters and placemats, and you’ll be keeping your place clean and decorated at the same time! Check out these ones from Fab.com:
Map Pin Coasters, $10.50 for 4
Chat Coasters, $10.50 for 4
Cinema Placemat, $7 for 2
Folder placemat, $7 for 2
What are your coasters/placemats of choice? And will you be partaking in the “protect your table” challenge this week?
State Cutting Boards
Following the servingware theme, The Daily Grommet featured a new item today: The AHeirloom State Cutting boards. These boards are made of bamboo, and make a great centerpiece for serving cheese or other party treats. All 50 states are available, but poor Hawaii may not be too useful. And if you love Colorado, you may just want to save yourself some money and buy a square cutting board.
See more in the video, below:
The cutting boards are $46 each at DailyGrommet.com.
Celestial Serving Bowls
These serving bowls from ThinkGeek are the perfect way to bring some geekiness to your dinner table on a daily basis. The bowls are a durable Melamine, meaning you don’t need to worry about your moon getting chipped.
The bowls are available in moon, earth, and sun designs for $19.99 each. I’d obviously recommend you get one of each.
R2D2 Cake
This R2D2 cake, complete with sounds, is AMAZING. Check out the video below to find out how Stacked Cakes made it:
Star Wars has never looked more delicious. Visit Stacked Cakes to see more cake-spiration, including an amazing edible Dalek. I’d exterminate that.

The Geeks in the Seattle Met!
Mr. Geek and I were thrilled to find ourselves front and center in the Met pages for attending Shindig’s Cinefresco launch party. What is Cinefresco, you say? It’s a brand new outdoor-movie party that comes to you! You can’t go wrong with popcorn, drinks, a photo booth, lawn chairs, vintage blankets and an old-timey movie. Check it all out at www.cinefresco.com. Looking for a quirky, lovely company to throw you the best bash ever? Make sure you take a look at all of Shindig’s offerings here.
Geeky Candles
While searching Etsy for Tardis-themed goodies (what, like you haven’t done that?) I came across Bubble and Geek, an amazing geeky-themed candle shop. Their TARDIS candle is vanilla custard-flavored, and their Portal candle smells like chocolate cake (no lie).
Take a look at their full collection here! Candles range in price from $8-12.
