Brown and orange Keds and a brown/beige Michael Kors tote.
It has to be MAC Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask. The stuff really softens and smooths my acne-prone skin.
I’m stuck in a Phoenix frenzy! Fave song of the moment: 1901, and I’ve had it on repeat for the past two days.
Tidbits from the Prescriptives Lustre Holiday Collection, like Baked Eye Quad in Warm ($40), Moonbeam Reflective Gloss in Rose Gold ($18) and Shimmer Cheek Color in Warm Lustre ($24).
A purring cat on my lap, a hot cup of coffee/tea on my desk, El Hub in my thoughts, a clean bathroom and the sound of jingle bells.
Bold-faced plagiarism, Quinn Fabray’s character on Glee, bloating, and finishing a hot shower in a cold bathroom and realizing that I forgot to get a towel.
I think I actually learned a couple of big ones in 2009: 1) There’s no time like the present, and 2) there’s an element of luck in everything.
Old Navy Bootcut Diva Jeans (LOVE!), a blue turtleneck sweater and a black tank top
Get to bed at a decent hour every night this week, start doing more ab exercises, start sending out me holiday cards, and stem the tide of disorganization flooding my office at home.
Hey, gals! Happy Monday from a very chilly Nor Cal today. 🙂
I looked out my window this morning to find snow capped mountains in the distance and a thick layer of frost topping the houses all around us. We don’t see a lot of snow ’round these parts.
There’s a chill in the air, but I’m trying to keep warm with extra socks and warm tea. What’s the weather like where you are?
Before you get swept up by work and responsibilities, let me know how you’re doing this morning. 🙂
