New at Target.com: Ora, The All-Round Paper Towel

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ora. All opinions are 100% mine.

Ora is an all-round paper towel you can grab with one hand!

Have you ever found yourself desperately trying to rip a paper towel off the roll with one hand, only to fail miserably while dinner burns, you spill your wine, and half the roll of paper towels comes spiraling down into a pile you end up tossing out instead?

I know I have.

And that's why I absolutely had to try Ora, a revolutionary new paper towel that just launched this month exclusively at participating Target stores across Texas and nationwide at Target.com. The team at Ora sent me a sample to test out - and I'm completely hooked!

Ora is a new all-round paper towel you can grab with one hand, available now at Target.com.

Ora’s sleek design and easy one-hand grab provides the ideal solution for holiday entertaining messes, every day household tasks...even family arts & crafts projects.

When cooking, cleaning or entertaining, Ora's conical stacking system makes it easy to grab a sheet of Ora with just one hand - there's no tearing, unraveling or fuss.

Ora's round sheets and lack of a cardboard inner tube make it a more eco-friendly purchase.

One stack of Ora provides twice the number of sheets compared to a traditional paper towel, without taking up excessive space on your countertop.

There are countless uses for Ora paper towels beyond cleaning up spills - you can use a sheet to hold snacks, create a paper snowflake (I used this tutorial), or cover food in the microwave.

My 3-year-old loved how easy and fun Ora was to use! It's a great tool for encouraging young ones to clean up their own messes. Because messes happen A LOT.

Laid Back Luxe: Ariel Winter's Hoodie Dress and Suede Boot Look for Less

Ariel Winter Look for Less
Ariel Winter paired an elongated hoodie dress with suede over-the-knee boots and added pops of color with a burgundy satchel and a playful faux-fur bag charm. I love the simplicity of the look, and the hoodie dress makes it so easy to mix and match accessories to create multiple looks.

I practically live in hoodies when I don't feel like getting all dressed up. So of course I was in love when I saw Ariel's glam styling and a new interpretation of the casual staple.

If you're dying to wear this during the winter, like I am, pair the hoodie dress with a jacket or leggings underneath. I can totally see myself wearing this with a suede bomber over it — so on trend plus I definitely need the added warmth! Be sure to check out my picks for Ariels outfit and let me know how you would style her hoodie dress.
