Any chance I could snuggle up for a day long nap today? I am getting so much inspiration from this little guy:

  Evolultion Of Smooth

Meet my lips new best friend and my drugstore find of the week, the Evolution of Smooth Sweet Mint Lip Balm!  I have seen these little brightly colored orbs in the drugstore before and always thought “Why would I want such a huge lip balms rolling around in my bag?!?”.  Lately, as the weather is colder and drier, I have found myself applying lip balm almost every 30 minutes.  Whenever I’m out I find myself either digging into the deep recesses of my bag for minutes on end unable to find my chapstick, or sweetly asking my hubby if he’s carrying his and if I could borrow it for just a sec.  It has become a bit annoying for both of us, so I decided to give one of these strange looking lip balms a try and I’m in LOVE!!!!  I tend to be drawn to all things mint so that is the first variety that I’ve tried, but they do come in a plethora of flavors.

The good news is that they are packing SPF 15 and they tout that they are PABA free and gluten free (not sure how much that’s going to matter to folks) and my favorite statement I like to see on make-up packages Not Tested on Animals! So head out to your local CVS or Walgreens and let me know what you think.

  Necklace and Earrings Of The Day

So I’m veering a bit off my Statement Necklace of the Day to showcase a necklace and pair of earrings that I fell in pretty with today.  I don’t know if it was all the white snow surrounding me that was behind my love or the desire to be on a beach filled surrounded by white sand, either way this jewelry is divine.

BTW… why WordPress  has refused to center these images is beyond me.  I formally refuse to fight anymore.

  Thank You Kate’s Mom

I’m typically not one to post photos of myself, but I wanted to make an exception so that I could say a very big thank you to my friend Kate’s mom.  She made me this awesome scarf.  It is the second time she has hand knitted me one of these awesome “round all in one neck scarves”… okay, there has to be a better name for it…I just checked out  J Crew and they call them snoods.  What the what!  I don’t think I can get behind calling my “round all in one neck scarf” a snood so for now it will either remain nameless or be the thing with many names.  Anyway, I want to say thank you so, so, so, so much to Mrs. Adeletti for her loving generosity.  Last time I wrote a thank you note, but this time I felt like I a little bit bigger thank you was in order.

For all of my friends out there that like to tease me about the wallpaper in my kitchen, please refrain.  As much as the designer in me initially cringed every time I walked in the door I have now found peace with the hilariously out of scale 1940s farm life images.

  Sprinkles!!!!!

What girl doesn’t like sprinkles.  Not this one!  I am a huge fan of sprinkles… on ice cream, on cakes, on cookies… and most definitely in the form of a bakery in LA that makes amazing cupcakes.  I’m heading out to LA tomorrow to visit one of my most fabulous friends.  On our long list of things to pack into 2.5 days are a hike, a visit to the beach, a few birthday parties, general sightseeing… yes I’m a bit shameful to admit a viewing of “Breaking Dawn” and most importantly some Sprinkles cupcakes.  Yay!

Just in case you wanted to laugh…  here is my favorite picture of me and Kate.  I’m sure we will take a few more wild ones this weekend. (BTW she is wearing a wig… since it’s Halloween… she doesn’t normally rock a fro).
