Excuse me while I make my wish list!

I'll start off with this insulated frap cup please!!

Next I'd like a clarisonic because my face really needs a deep cleansing!

And to use with that I am wishing for a whole new set of Philosophy.

And for after I cleanse I'd like to bake some cute cupcakes with this super cute cupcake kit.

And then after I make those animal print cupcakes I'd like to put on my to die for animal print UGG boots!!



Like I said, excuse me while I wish!!

My Fave's - Head, Face and Bod

A while back some people asked what type of products do I use as far as skin care, hair care and body care so I thought about sharing. With a "big" birthday coming up this year I have gotten a little more picky about what I use for several reasons. I love these next products and seriously could recommend them to anyone. Trust me I have used a lot of stuff in the past. I was even a Mary Kay consultant for several years and still like several of their items. These are just my VERY FAVE!!

About 1 1/2 years ago I started using Philosophy. I LURVE IT!!!! I go back and forth with the Purity cleansers. I use the regular one in the winter when my skin is a little more dry and the foaming when I tend to be more oily in the summer. It removes eye makeup too. It is just great.



Oh my and then there is Hope in a Jar. Don't you love the name? Best moisturizer I have ever used. I always have major breakout when I use something new so I was scared of this at first. It never bothered me and my skin has never felt greasy after I use it.

And if you have Hope in a Jar you must have Hope in a Tube. Don't tell hubby I told you but this is one of his fave's too. The skin around your eyes can be so sensitive but this has never bothered either of us. I am just about out of it so I have got to get busy and order some this week.

Well shoot, once I tried the skin care I had to try the body care. My Mom is to blame for this. She wears Amazing Grace by Philosophy and it is yummy. So clean smelling. I can always smell her on the girls after they come from her house. Falling in Love is a little sweeter than Amazing Grace and I love it. I order the jumbo sizes and only have to reorder about every 6 months or so. Another cool thing about the wash is you can use it as a shampoo. Currently my fave Falling in Love product is their Body Butter. So thick and creamy and a great thing to use before bed.

It has been about 7 years now since I started using Bare Minerals. I WILL NEVER use a cream or liquid foundation again. It took about 2 weeks to get used to the difference but you will be hooked. Again I only have to order about every 6 months. When I used a cream, I was buying one a month.

This is more Bare Minerals only it's for your body instead of your face. It is a body shimmer but trust me you will not look like a 13 year old with glitter on when you use it. I only put it on for special occasions, like a date with W.B. I will brush some on my shoulders and chest just for a little extra girliness.

At night I usually use the Bare Minerals Buzz Latte on my lips. Yummooo! Nuff said.

Well hello beautiful! OMG I have a serious addiction to Bare Minerals Buxom. I DO NOT leave home without it. I am the one who's mom always wants to know where my lipstick is if it is not on my lips. Seriously, ask Leslie! Well this stuff has changed my life. I have other glosses that I might use but never have I gone thru something as much as I do this. Right now in my purse there are 3 colors. Amber is my #1 go to girl (that's the name of the color) and then there is Bambi. Very rarely will I wear a lip liner any more but if I do, it works great with Buxom.

This is my new found friend. I have always used Mary Kay mascara but wanted to see what all the fuss was about for this one and I get it. I have even used the waterproof over the summer and I like it just as much. Best part about it..... around $7.00.

I have never done my own nails. I used to wear acrylics and I always loved them. I am however a pedicure kind of girl. Starting in the next month or so you can find me in a pedicure chair somewhere trying to get my toes ready for summer. I love a french pedicure but I have started asking for a pink french. OPI makes some beautiful colors for this.

Now for the hair. I use several different types of shampoo and lots of conditioners but my new fave stying product is Taffy from Kenra. Some days my hair is straight, some days it's flipped and some days even curly. Either way this is what I use to finish it off. Thanks to my sis (also a hairdresser) for introducing me to this one.

There are lots more things I could show you as far as colors I use etc but now you know my basics. What about you? Ever tried any of these or do you have a fave you think I would love?

What we've been up to

We gave thanks for the many blessings that we have in our lives. Especially 3 of them!!

I received these from hubby for Thanksgiving. What a good guy!

Did a little "black Friday" shopping.

OK, a lot of shopping!!! Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

Celebrated a birthday for the hubby. Yes on any given evening this is where you will find him, in his "man chair". We love you W.B. and could not be more thankful for who you are.

A homemade birthday cake for him, with a few less candles then we should've put on it.

And a great time with this young man home from college for the week. This was Sunday after Thanksgiving as he's getting ready to drive back. I love you buddy and can't wait to have you home for the next few weeks. Good times!

RUN, don't walk!
