2014-05-16_0001The weekend is here…whoo hoo!! I hope all of you enjoy and thanks so much for reading!

This week’s lineup:

  • Silver Arm Candy
  • Haagen Daaz Sea Salt Caramel Gelato
  • L’Occitane Fragrance Beautifying Cream
  • Anastasia Eyebrow Gel

IMG_8094After using the same checkbook wallet for the past three years or so, I decided it was time for a change. I rarely write personal checks anymore, so I wanted a slimmer wallet that would not only easily fit in all of my bags, but would also be a lot lighter to carry around. Coach recently had a friends and family sale, so I ventured to a store to see what they had to offer. The sleek, minimal design of this style is just what I needed. Inside, there are several open slots, a zippered coin pocket, billfold compartment and a double-sided credit card holder. I chose the grey birch color so it could easily transition through the seasons.

IMG_8097I’m so excited about my new silver arm candy! My sweet hubby gave me both pieces as anniversary gifts and I must say, he’s very good at picking classic jewelry! I had to go by a jewelry repair shop earlier in the week to have some links taken out before I could wear the watch. It’s actually identical to my rose gold Michael Kors, which I absolutely love. Many MK watches have some bling, but I tend to prefer a plain watch style for everyday wear. I’ve been wearing a lot of gold-toned jewelry lately, so it’s nice to change it up.

IMG_8106This heavenly goodness by Haagen Dazs has been my evening snack all week. I love anything sea salt caramel or chocolate, and this is just decadent. My favorite part is getting a spoonful of the gooey caramel-core swirled throughout the gelato. Mmmm….

IMG_4787This jar of fragrance beautifying cream created by L’Occitane is a gem I scored at the Lucky FABB conference.  If you’re like me, perfume always seems to have a lasting problem. This cream is supposed to extend the life of any scent, so naturally I couldn’t wait to try it with my favorite perfume. Directions state to smooth cream over decollete and neck area, then spritz fragrance twice before walking into the cloud. Although I wouldn’t say it’s drastically different, my perfume has seemed to linger a little longer than usual. Regardless, I love this cream for its light, pleasant scent and the way my skin feels so soft when wearing it.

IMG_7431I’ve gotten to the point where I can no longer live without eyebrow gel. My brows just do NOT stay in place without it. Prior to trying this, I was using Bare Minerals, but since it’s no longer available I had to find a replacement. I’m pleased to say Anastasia does the job of holding my wayward brows in place just as well. A little goes a long way; I typically only need to dip the wand once for enough gel to coat both brows with a light layer. When first applied, it will appear wet, but not to worry–brows will dry completely within minutes.
