Like 99% of other people, I am holiday-crazed. The coziness and cheer of the season is enough to soften even my tough exterior (I'd like to think I'm a pretty tough cookie but some may beg to differ). I make sure that as soon as mid-November rolls around, I get my holiday gusto in gear. Put up the decorations, light a cranberry candle and watch all of your problems twinkle away like the lights strung outside on the bushes. (If only the world worked like that). To start off my merry makeover, I've compiled 5 iphone wallpapers that will have any device tech'd out for the season!
One of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon is in the kitchen, trying my hands at a new recipe. I am a die-hard foodie who loves experimenting with new flavors, and putting twists on classic meals. That's one of the many reasons I adore the holiday season! When else do you have an excuse to whip up 37 different courses for no reason at all? This holiday season, I've found two recipes that look fantastic and I will definitely be giving a go!
I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to organization. I guess you could say my type-A personality tends to dictate everything I do. This summer, I was on the hunt for the perfect planner: one that was functional, fun and one I would ACTUALLY use. You see, in the past, I've had an unfortunate habit of buying planners, only to quit using them about 2 weeks in. For some reason, I no planner had ever really met my needs for function and style. That all changed, though, when I got my hands on my Ban.do planner...
There is no doubt in my mind that fall/winter fashion trumps all, and a good boot is an absolute must in the realm of cold weather garb. I am an avid boot/bootie collector. There are few things that get me as excited as a gorgeous new pair of boots for the season. Plus, I'm a midwesterner, which means my boots need to be both fashionable AND functional. (Hello, snow). Here are the boots I'm currently lusting over for the fall & winter weather.
I know, I know. The word "miracle" is about as gimicky as it gets. But don't discredit this post just yet! The past few months, I've been in a bit of a beauty slump. To say I've struggled to find a foundation worth keeping is an understatement. It seems that every product I try fails me in either shade, formula, coverage or longevity. I had almost given up my search when a friend of mine who works for sephora suggested I try CoverFX. She informed me that for those with uber sensitive skin, prone to aggravation and reaction from products (uhhh HI, that's me!), CoverFX is wonderful because of the brand's focus on natural ingredients that are meant to help heal the skin. Ok, I know what you're thinking...that sounds gimicky too. My thoughts exactly-until I tried what might just be the best "foundation" I've ever used.
