Thursday Inspiration

I love the look of these tables and their arrangements. I wouldn't think the dark chairs would compliment the light and bright table but I think it comes together nicely. I am having an anti chivari moment so this really caught my attention.

A Girl Can Dream...

I love my little downtown home and I am thankful for it everyday. However, if there was one thing about it that makes me crazy... it would be the CLOSETS! I dream about having a fantastic closet all the time. Sometimes I want to add on to the house just so I can have a bigger closet. Totally appropriate, right? Here are is some closets I die for!

JPMS Awapuhi Ginger Launch

John Paul Mitchell Systems has just launched a new line of Awapuhi Ginger products. The Awapuhi plant grows wild in Hawaii and locals have been using it for shampoo for many years. In 1983 John Paul DeJoria purchased land that would later become a sustainable, solar-powered Awapuhi farm. Recently, Paul Mitchell has come out with new Awapuhi products that are 100% sulfate free and color safe. The Keratin treatment and rinse provides deep damage repair using a protein humanely derived from sheep fur. I cannot wait to get my hands on this new line! Please visit www.awapuhi.paulmitchell.com for the closest salon that carries it.

Fresh Face

I am back!!! Sorry for the delay in posts. I was away on vacation last week. We had stops in Vegas, San Fran, and Wine Country. It was an amazing trip that I will never forget. I will posts some pics gradually as I organize them. While on the trip I had the BEST facial and discovered a new product along the way. It is by Kerstin Florian. The Correcting Intensive Renewal Glycolic 15 is amazing! After I used it my skin looked the best it has looked in the longest time. It is recommended to be used instead of a scrub exfoliate. You can just use it one time per week in the evening and actually leave it on all night. The results are great!

HOLY SHELLAC!!!

I cannot believe I am just discovering Shellac and it's been out since May! It is the ONLY way I will be manicuring my nails from now on. I had my finger nails shellac'ed for the first time yesterday and I am loving it! Shellac is a breakthrough, patent-pending UV3 technology that combines the ease of polish with the permanence of gels. This is specific to natural nails and it goes on and off like a regular polish but the mirrored finish lasts up to two weeks! Plus, no dying time or damage to your nail! Sounds like a no-brainer to me.

Food Find!

Last weekend my husband and I discovered Mochi frozen yogurt. The concept is to create your own frozen treat by mixing a one of their fantastic flavors with any toppings you want from the topping bar. My creation consisted of Birthday Cake flavored frozen yogurt with rainbow sprinkles and crushed Oreo cookies. It was AMAZING! I could not believe I was eating frozen yogurt. Mochi is 100% all natural, non-fat, and cholesterol free.
