now I might just retract all of this after I watch a few more episodes.

Obsession!

Happy Tuesday, I am still dragging from my fun filled weekend (more of that to come later).  However what I cannot get out of my mind is a conversation that I had with a lady during my 12 hour delay at the Denver airport.  I don't know how/where she came up with this info but she swears that STL is the perfect spot to grow a lime tree.  

I pretty much had lime trees growing in just Florida but now I am obsessed, I need one of these on my back deck.  Each summer I spend a small fortune on limes.

They go in my club soda

and my summertime drinks

they go in some of my favorite summer meals

and of course nothing is better than a homemade key lime pie

so today I am off to the nursery to find me a lime tree!!

Tried and True

When it is freezing out, not only do I dress accordingly but I also have to change up my skin care routine.  Cold, dry winters can be brutal on a gal's face.  I have found a few products that I love, especially this time of year.

Stila Glowing Review

This scrub has a light touch of exfoliant to help really clean your face without over drying or leaving your face to feel stripped.

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight

I use this about once a week in the winter.  Right before bed, put a layer of this treatment on your face, then go to sleep.  When you wake up your face will feel hydrated and super soft.  It is perfect this time of year if your face is constantly dehydrated.

Lumene Vitamin C Serum

I always wear serum, everyday not just in the winter.  My girl who gives my facials always tells me how important serum is to keep you hydrated and take care of those fine lines.  I have tried a lot of serums but this one found only at CVS is hands down my favorite.

Mario Badescu Aloe Moisturizer

This is a new discovery for me and I love it.  This moisturizer is on the thicker side so I don't think I will use it in the summer but it is perfect this time of year.  This moisturizer will last the entire day, you won't feel dry by the afternoon.

Stila One Step

This is my favorite base layer especially in the winter.  It has a very light tint of color which I really need in the dead of winter when I have not seen sunlight for weeks.  This cream comes out pink, blue and green but once you blend it together your face just seems to sparkle

Lancome Renergie Night

I always feel like I need to do something a little extra at night from what I do during the day.  I love this night cream, my skin feels soft, it hydrates those annoying fine lines, and it smells really really good.

Urban Decay Naked Palette

Obsessed with these Naked Palettes!!

Obsessed

A few things have been on my mind lately...

This wine is my new favorite, I love any sancerre and most restaurants do not carry this type of wine.

Lucky for me I have a stockpile in my fridge.

I think white birch firewood is so pretty, I want some.  Not to burn but just to look pretty next to my fireplace.  I don't think these trees are anywhere near STL.  I never thought I would say this but I might have to order firewood online.

I cannot wait for Fall so I can wear my new track pants

I really want a new kitchen table, and I really want a stainless steel top.

When I was on Mackinac Island our resort served wine in the "front yard"

in these acrylic glasses,  now these have made it to the top of my wish list.  I cannot tell you how many glasses I have broken on my WOP (wine on porch) nights with my girls, well problem solved.  Now if I can just make it to Crate and Barrel before tomorrow night, oh and I am serving sancerre.

I downloaded the first 2 seasons of this show to watch during all my Michigan travels and now I am completely obsessed!!  OMG I have to wait until October 3 now for the new season.  If you do not watch this, download it now, you have plenty of time to catch up.

and last but certainly not least, this guy....

and I get to see him tonight. (in concert, not on a real date)

Mind the Gap

Not sure what is going on at the Gap, but I am not complaining.  They have been hitting it out of the park lately.  Every time I walk by the store front window I am lured in, and they are always offering some type of deal.  I don't think I have paid full price for anything at the Gap in the past 2 years.

Here are a few pieces that I am collecting...

I love this dress and the 4 different ways to style it.  I have plenty of navy and white in my closet so I went with this color combo...

I have also added to my jean collection...

 a few dresses...

and a cute skirt

but I am not finished.  There are still a few more things that I am hoping will find their way into my closet.

these adorable wide leg pants are perfect for the spring day with a little chill in the air

LND

little navy dress

 a pencil skirt with a pattered tee and scarf

quite possibly the cutest sandal in town

an ombre to protect your face from the summer sun

when you find a suit that works with your body type you have got to run with it.  The last 2 years I have had great luck with the suits from the Gap.


and finally...

and what do you know, I have a coupon that is good this week!!
