Bare Minerals

Have you ever wondered just how those stars get that 'dewey' look. That glow? There are many products out there that will give you that effect, but here is one of my favorites. Bare Minerals, Warm Radiance. If you are not familiar with the Bare Minerals line, I definitely suggest trying it out. It is by far the best makeup I have ever used. The Warm Radiance is a shimmer powder with a hint of bronzer. You just swipe a little right over your cheekbones up to your temple and VOILA! you have that Jennifer Lopez Glow!

OPI Nail Polish - Shimmer

Spring is coming! That means, it's time to start paying attention to your fingers and toes again! I'd like to suggest a GREAT nailpolish color I just discovered. OPI Nail Laquer in Up Close and Personal. This is a really pretty light goldish color with specks of sparkles. It will go perfectly with your BLING lipgloss! I think this nail color is the perfect color for that transition from the Winter Blahs to the Spring AHA's!!!

Clorox Bleachtabs

Okay, I have OCD about clean bathrooms. I seriously have issues if my toilet isn't clean, so Clorox Bleachtabs have saved my life. I put one in each of my toilets and only have to clean the exterior of the toilet weekly. The tablets last about 3 months each. The only downside is that your bathroom smells a little bleachy for a couple of days AND if you have pets who like to drink out of the toilet, they might have extra clean colons.

Rescue Remedy

I LOVE THIS STUFF! I'm sure we all get a little anxiety from time to time....at the grocery after you've filled the cart and you see that your bill is up around the $300 mark, stress from work, stress from kids, we all get it. This little miracle in a bottle is one way to keep that anxiety at bay. A few drops under the tongue and INSTANTLY a sense of calmness comes over you. It's a small bottle, but it goes a long way, I've had mine over a year. It can also be used on animals! Great for the vet visits that your dog dreads!

JACK JOHNSON

I believe strongly in the power of music. I know that I can put in a Coldplay CD and get my whole entire house clean in half the time I would if there were no music playing. I also know that I can start my day with a great Jack Johnson song and know that I can face whatever comes my way. For that reason, I would like to spread the word of Jack Johnson. I have never encountered such soothing, calming, happy music. Every CD he comes out with is pure greatness. I've introduced many of my friends to Jack Johnson's music and every one of them have fallen head over heels in love with it (and HIM, I must say.....he gets brownie points for being HOT!). I would strongly suggest, that when you are on Itunes, or at the music store you pick up a Jack Johnson CD. Any one of them. They are all fantastic. I can't say enough about his music! The Itunes Originals CD is a bonus, not only do you get all of his greatest music, you get to hear the stories behind them. If you want your spirits lifted, Jack Johnson is the MAN! And while your at it....throw in a little Matt Costa, he's wonderful too.

BLING Lipgloss by Victoria Secret

I've been hesitant to recommend this product because there is definitely a flaw in the design of the lipbrush...but the gloss itself is AMAZING. My favorite is the BLING. Bling is a clear lipgloss with irridescent sparkles that really make your lips glow. I've tried different lipglosses and this one is tops if you are looking for a high shine without stickiness. The problem with the brush can be overcome if you gently and carefully insert it back into the tube..if you jam it in there, the bristles pull out and eventually the whole brush goes kablooey. I hope that in time Victoria Secret will get enough complaints about their brush to redesign it.

Eyeliner Duet by N.Y.C.

I admit it. I spend too much money on makeup. To me, putting on make-up is the highlight of my day, as is trying NEW makeup items. This little NYC eyeliner duo is a necessity in my makeup drawer. My personal favorite is the Black/Silver combination. In order to achieve a quick smokey effect, I use the black side first, then smudge with the silver side. This eyeliner is AMAZING, and at only $2, how can you refuse it!

Bath & Body Works / White Barn Home Fragrance

Let's admit it...we all get a little lazy from time to time. We forget to vacuum, bathe the dogs, change the cat litter and whattya know....a friend pops on over for a surprise visit! Since I have animals, and I like my house to smell fresh and clean, I like to keep Bath and Body Works/White Barn Home Fragrance Oils and Warmers right at my front door with a lighter nearby for those very moments! This little miracle bottle of oil can freshen up the house in an INSTANT. For those of you who like the smell of candles but are sometimes disappointed in the lack of fragrance, these oils will do the trick.

PINK by Victoria Secret

Got your panties in a bunch? Tired of Perma-wedge? If so, I think I have discovered the worlds best undies...cute and sexy, yet comfy as all get out. I've tried many different brands, package brands, expensive brands, middle of the road brands, and I have finally found the world's perfect underwear. Victoria's Secret LOVE PINK Extreme Low Rise Hipsters. They are boyishly cute and flatter every girly figure (I'd like to wear them as bathing suit bottom's, personally). These babies can make it through an hour long workout without riding up and you can wear them with any pair of pants without the dreaded visible panty lines! At 5 for $25 they fit into any budget. I highly recommend them!
