Boutique Treasure!

I get so giddy when I find a little hidden treasure when I least expect it. As I was walking through one of my favorite "old town" stores, the Farmer's Wife, I was drawn to the section of the store where there were fragrances, lotions, bath salts, and other yummy things I could get my hands on. I immediately spotted the word "rose" and was instantly drawn in. I LOVE rose water and am always looking out for it. But this little goody caught me by surprise. Kimono Rose by Thymes isn't your typical rose smelling fragrance. This one is unique in ways I am going to attempt to explain.....

The feeling that was provoked when I tried on the roller ball fragrance was one of instant satisfaction. I was thinking about how I couldn't wait home and give my hubby a hug to see if he noticed anything different. The scent is subtly powerful, romantic and sweet, with both light notes and bold notes. This is the description on the Thymes website:

Sparkling and lyrical, Kimono Rose is unabashedly feminine, beautifully layered
with an undercurrent of intrigue. A sheer, sensuous floral heightened with
effervescent sweet clementine and voluptuous cassis on a creamy bed of satiny
rose, peony and jasmine petals…finished with a kiss of smooth, silken vanilla.
Delicate but dynamic; softspoken, yet striking, it is a modern reflection of who
you are, and who you want to be…all wrapped up in one truly lovely fragrance.

It comes in sprays and lotions and candles. Oh I can't wait to get my hands on the entire collection! I love that it comes in my new little favorite....the roller ball (which was introduced to me when I started wearing Sharon Bolton Scents in LUV)....so I can just throw it in my bag and run. Go check this stuff out. I promise you won't be disappointed!

He thought I was 24!!!!

I am literally weeks away from turning 30 years old and to tell you the truth….very excited about it. I’m not all caught up in feeling like I’m getting old and all that hoopla. I’ ve always thought I’ ve looked young for my age and have enjoyed growing up and maturing. I was taken aback recently when somebody I see on a regular basis due to work related duties commented on me being the same age as they were after telling me they were 24 years old….I was shocked. I was like, “honey, you’re just a baby!” and he commented back about how we were the same age and I was like, “NO……I’m hitting 30 here!” He was really surprised. Well I thought about this little fortunate exchange of words for a while. What about me make people think I am younger than what I actually am? I’ ve always been on more of the mature side. My best friends are all older than me….even by 8 or more years. So it’s not me acting immature that makes me look young. I’ ve had two kids so I don’t have that cute hip body an...

URBAN DECAY Spring 2010!!!

One thing that I can absolutely say is that my life is never, ever dull! Just when I thought I was on the path of freedom--on my way-- literally --to celebrate the completion of my teaching credential program I took a lame spill off my porch and broke my ankle! What a dork! I find out if I need surgery tomorrow.....but in the meantime, when I'm not totally doped up and loopy, I've decided to catch up on some reading, writing, and planning of birthday parties and family vacations we would like to take this year. First off, I couldn't wait to share my ever consuming love of Urban Decay Cosmetics with everyone. It just so happens that it ties in very well with the preparation of my daughter's 12th birthday party that we are planning for her--an Alice in Wonderland/Mad Hatters' birthday! Consequently, Urban Decay just released their Alice in Wonderland palette last week! I must get my fingers on this darling palette full of great shadows, 24 7 liners, and a primer p...

The FIRST Highlighting Brow Kit to hit the market!!!

Happy New Year my friends! There's nothing like starting the new year with NEW product! It makes me giddy! Especially when I get to introduce the newest most cutting edge product on the market. This time the kudos goes to: ANASTASIA of Beverly Hills. They have revolutionized the market with their brand new Highlighting Brow Kit which is the FIRST baked brow product to hit the market! I've been testing it out for you and of course it's AMAZING! There is a highlighter trio that is shimmery and natural and also a trio of brow shades so you can mix and match your perfect brow shade. The shadows can be used as is or if you dampen your brush a little you will kick up the effects for a bolder look. Very cool. I love multi-functional products! I also used the dark "brow" shades with a dampened flat angled brush and used the product as an eyeliner. It stayed on and looked natural and flawless all day. I think the 2009 brides are going to go crazy for this product. It...
