Each year, around mid-October, I begin bookmarking/pinning items that will later find a home in my Christmas list. I might have gone overboard this year, but here it is anyway! Health and Beauty: For the Home: Accessories: Clothing/Shoes: What's on your Christmas list?

So, I obviously couldn't wear yesterday's dream outfit today since I didn't/don't own any of those things, but I put together what I think is a pretty perfect Thanksgiving outfit with some items I did have. This picture is actually from a last week, since I planned the outfit in advance, but I'm also wearing it today. Can I just talk about this skirt for a minute? I won it in a give away on Melisa's lovely Pie N' The Sky blog a month or so ago, and I have already...
Sarah from Ohhh Lulu... just started having a monthly promotion on her blog where she gives away 5 free ad spaces, and I was one of the lucky few to win one of this month's spaces. I think it's a lovely way to help small blogs and business get the attention they deserve, and I'll likely take a page out of Sarah's book once I get my ducks in a row. Sarah also has an Etsy shop full of handmade bras, panties, and lingerie, and I'm smitten with just about every item in her shop. Lord knows I...
Have you guys ever heard of Brazilets? If you saw Eat Pray Love, then you might've noticed Julia Roberts wearing these bracelets. I hadn't heard of them until recently, but I just received two free ones in the mail to try and subsequently blog about. You're supposed to tie the bracelet(s) on with three knots, making a wish for each knot. The company also supports a project called Plant A Billion Trees that sees trees planted in Brazil's Atlantic rainforest. Wishing on a bracelet may seem juvenile to some, but it never hurts to set goals and think positively....
I ordered some adorable and on sale shoes for myself today, and I can't wait to wear them! A piece of news that is more relevant to this blog, however, is that I also ordered some health and beauty product samples by brands that I rarely or never review. The brands are Lily Organics, evanhealy, The Answer For Skin, and Skin; the products will be tested and reviewed shortly after they arrive....
I need to get a job stat! Otherwise, I'm going to spend all my money on pretty things from Etsy. Here are a few of my favorites (I'm loving yellows and golds right now; can you tell?): I wish that I had a birthday every month. I'm...
My beach vacation has been pretty fly thus far. I haven't spent much time at the beach (because of the nasty water...oil spills are for the birds), but our Condo is sufficiently sweet. There's a lazy river; how cool is that?! I've been avoiding shampoo altogether this week and using baking soda in its place. I've been conditioning with Aveda Rosemary Mint Conditioner (and my hair has never looked better): My mom bought me some Time & Again Organics hand cream today at a cute little shop. It was seven dollars, and it smells like a dream:
I think Fitflops are too cool! They're not entirely aesthetically pleasing, and they're not super cheap (from fifty to eighty dollars), but I can wear them while grocery shopping in place of ankle weights and not feel like a turd. I might just ask Kirby to hook me up with some of these for my birthday. In case you care: the benefits of Fitflops p.s. I have a feeling that the superbuff girl in the benefits picture didn't achieve that figure by walking in Fitflops alone. That's a model...
I've compiled a list of ten natural, green, and/or organic things that I wouldn't mind having. My birthday's in August. Har har. 1) Demeter Naturals Mimosa Perfume- Demeter Naturals fragrances are made from pure essential oils and have no Phthalates (put simply, Phthalates are chemicals that are intended to make scent last longer that are easily absorbed by our skin).
2) LunaPanties-Basically, they have organic cotton pads sewn into them. The extra liner shown in the picture is for days with heavier flows. I could easily make something like this at home, but I love that...
