Five

My sweet blogger friend Natalie tagged me last week. I have to list 5 things that I cannot live without. I am going to skip the deep and sentimental things like my family and friends and just go with my shallow and superficial list.

But first, you must check out Natalie's blog. She is super stylish, a fabulous cook, has an amazing house, and has the cutest hubby and son ever. She is a Southern girl from South Carolina, there must be something in the water down there, every fabulous blog I read I swear the girl is from South Carolina.

Here we go....


1. luxurious skin cream.
I have always heard that Creme De La Mer is the best of the best when it comes to moisturizers. Nothing comes close to hydrating your skin like La Mer, it is a "legendary cream with a cult following", of course you do have to pay a high price for all this fabulousness. Well, I have officially joined the cult. I was out with a friend last week and noticed that she had the most flawless, young looking skin I have ever seen, no fine line, no redness, just smooth perfection. She had 2 words for me.....La Mer. Of course, given my obsessive personality, as soon as I got home I was on Nordstrom's website with the moisturizing cream in my basket.

I don't know what took me so long to jump on the band wagon, but I am hooked!!
2. An official start and finish to my day.
I like to start each day with a cup of this....
and end with a glass of this!

3. Good Eats.
I love going out to dinner. My hubby and I go out to eat almost every weekend. Sometimes just the two of us, sometimes with other couples, and sometimes with the kids. There are many great restaurants in STL, some have been around for years and some have just opened. I love sitting down at a restaurant with a good bottle of wine just knowing that I am going to have an incredible dinner.I have been obsessing about one of my favorites lately because they make the most amazing Oven Roasted Artichoke with Brie and Mustard Sauce. I have dreams about this artichoke.

4. Beautiful Spaces.
Now that we are in our "forever" home I feel I can decorate how I want, when I want, without the looming question in the back of my mind, "should I really do this to my house if we are moving soon?" Knowing that I am not moving again, I can justify spending more on things I want for our home. I am here to stay and I want to be surrounded by beautiful things, it makes me happy!


5. Beautiful Clothes.
I can honestly say that I take pride in what I wear. I have always loved clothes, shoes and accessories but now that I am older and wiser I really think about what I like, what looks good on me, what I can pull off, and what is stylish....

These are the 5 things that I cannot live without or I am obsessing about this week!

Now I tag
My new friend Mrs Fabulous from Fabulous in the STL
The always beautiful and incredibly fabulous Brunch at Saks. I can't wait to hear what these girls choose.

Happy Monday

  3. We love a lot of the same things.

    I've contemplated "Cream De La Mer," but can't seem to stop using what my derm. recommended. I might have to give it a try. I've heard such incredible things about the product. Nice to know you love it, too! :)

    Happy Monday!

  5. Coffee in the morning, wine at night, going out for a fabulous meal and clothes. Did you copy my list? hee.

    I bought some Le Mer sheer foundation/sunscreen for last summer. I LOVED it. You should try that too!! I still haven't forked over the cash for the Cream. I might wait until I turn 50. :-)
