Digging today

Long time no see! I've been a whirl-wind of projects, activities, and travel! So I thought I'd post a few of my fav things I have been digging lately.

I adore little reading nooks like this one

I am officially on a mission for cute silky scarfs and am wearing my hair like this all summer!!!
And aviators!!! I bought a pair and am in looove with them, my face shape isn't quite right for 'em but "I do what I want"

I'm not usually a fan of stacked books and frames wallpapering the walls, but this one I adore

COLOR! I want more of it like this pic, plus look at that settee. Tis Christy-bliss

Products I am lovin'
(These are all items I just happen to adore and am not getting anything to mention these)
Bronzers! Flash Bronzer Anti-Age by Lancome is by far my favorite! It smells great, dries a little quicker than most and lasts for a long time without having to re-apply several times a week.

Lancome Flash Bronzer Anti-Age Face Lotion/1.7 oz.

My second favorite bronzer is a bit more wallet friendly: Tantowel there aren't any dyes or staining and looks incredible even the first day you use it, over the week you will notice an incredible difference. Cons: I really do not like the smell, I spritz a bit of my homemade body spray over it (make sure its alcohol free if you do this), also it takes a really long time to dry and if its muggy out, I will skip it. I cant even get my makeup on evenly with this product. In the winter though its perfect! Keeps my face moisturized all day.

Tantowel On The Glow, Self Tanning Moisturizer 8 fl oz (200 ml)

Next, Génifique Youth Activating Cream Serum Lancome again: This stuff is incredible, the smell is gentle, its a cream but it goes on like silk. I used a sample from Sephora for about a month and it dramatically changed lines under my eyes and the bright red of my cheeks was gone.

Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Cream Serum 1 oz / 30 ml

Fat Girl Slim I hate the name too, but I have been a gym fanatic these last 3 months and wanted something to help with some old marks. This is sooo delish smelling and works so well, I noticed a difference in about 2 weeks!

Bliss FatGirlSlim Skin Firming Cream 6 oz (170.1 g)

LUSH! They have the best products I <3 everything. But quickly here are some top summer favs: Silky Underwear Dusting Powder Leaves your skin silky soft all day and has an incredible soft jasmine scent.

I am big into solid perfumes for the summer, I think it helps keep the bitter alcohol smell off during those more humid hot days. I just got Lust the other day, another jasmine scent but with a little bite to it. Its fantastic and lasts all day even after my lunch BodyPump classes!

Mwah! I hope you are all having a lovely spring, and I will work on posting my projects for real this time around ;)

Spring Finds!

It snowed again, its cold again and I am having a pretty miserable day. So I decided to round up some pretties I have bookmarked. Check out these spring-ish finds :)

First up this giveaway over at Jones Design Company:

Birdcage card/picture holder. I am thinking of buying this to replace the one in my hallway I made last Christmas.

PlasticLand

Mirrored sparrows in flight! I have a set now as you can see here, and I kind of want to add more, making them look like a flock flying across the corner instead of scattered like they are now.
