I LOVE...

I love lemon olive oil! I've been making fresh salad dressings and this goes perfectly in them!

I love BOSTON MED! Last night I cried, it makes me appreciate life a little more when I watch it.

I love these lobster pool toys. I would love to have a couple for our future pool, I think their cute and I can see them floating around for a patio party...A lobster themed party would be cool.

Does anyone else love Rue La La?? I have found some great deals!! :) I just ordered a plush robe that I've seen at the store for $160 and I got it for $25 on Rue La La!

HAPPY 2010!

Hope everyone enjoyed their New Years! I usually don’t blog about such, but I have some products that you MUST TRY in 2010!! I have been testing them all for about 3 months and have had great results! READ BELOW!

Tarte-Cheek Stain

The water-based gel cheek stain from Tarte promises a natural "just pinched" flush look, leaving your skin GLOWING. I found mine at Sephora. It stays on for hours; my old Cover-Girl blush would brush off before noon. Try it! I promise you’ll love it. They also give you a lot in the tube, so it will last a long time. I have barley put a dent in mine.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil

THIS STUFF IS AMAZING, it will smudge at the beginning so you can get the softened look, but after that it’s on your eyes until you take makeup remover. It doesn’t flake leaving you with black dust chunks below your eyes, love this stuff!

AND….OSIS-Dust IT!
NOW, I just found out about this last month and finally took my cheap ass to the beauty salon and bought some. You know how everyone is loving the “POOF”, “PUFF”, or BUMP IT…WELL say goodbye to your nasty hair spray and say HELLO TO THIS! Its powder and I have never had a product that leaves my hair with volume. All you do is lift your hair where you want to have the extra volume, and dust some on the root. It’s GREAT.

NOW, onto some other stuff!

I finally broke down and got a Hobo International wallet/clutch. These things are AMAZING! You must see them in person..and they are pure leather and will last you forever. I was lucky and found mine for HALF the price at Nordstrom’s Rack, a TJMAXX for Nordstrom’s. Pictures are below. Mine is black! GO FIGURE!

(Jim and I are going on a weekend cruise in 2 weeks so I wanted some fun stuff to wear) AND I NEVER GO SHOPPING! UNLESS IT’S AT TJ MAXX & MARSHALLS…so I splurged and got 3 pairs of shoes and 2 shirts! NOW, all that know me I NEVER buy new shoes, NEVER! It must have been a full moon. Here are some of the pictures, I couldn't find all of them online.

This fringed top, it's hard to see in the picture..I also purchased a Tiered fringe tankini online the other day...

SHOES

I love this style of sandal, I wore them ALL last year and needed a new pair...the color is pewter/gold

Everyone must have one!

I found my purse hanger last year at Steinmart, I fell in love with the pearl not the concept. It was a great purchase, it keeps my purse off the floor and counters, it helps de-clutter our home and I will never loose my purse again. I’m even considering buying another one so when I’m out I can hook it to the table.

Screwpull Black Nickel Wine Opener

This is my favorite wine tool. I swear it's the smoothest way to open a bottle of wine. No more breaking corks again!



Description: Le Creuset's Leverpull streamlines the removal of a cork from a wine bottle. Its rotation technology reduces the process to one simple up-and-over motion. The opener is designed to perform well with any size or type of cork, including plastic corks. Made of a zinc alloy with a black nickel-plated finish, it features a comfortable handgrip. A foil cutter and leather storage box are included.

Here it is!

Foil cutter

Pulls it right off with a clean cut, it's magnetic so the foil stays in place

Stick it on top of the bottle

In one motion pull it from one side to the other...like this

POP, it releases the cork :)

Finished!

Pour your wine and enjoy!

Smells Like Heaven!

I have a new found love, it's a wonderful product that smells amazing!  It brings me into the fall spirit, it smells like pumpkins.  Every morning while I shampoo and condition I un-screw the top and just breath the scent in.  It brings a smile to my face.  Also, it leaves your strands silky and smooth.  The brand is Sexy Hair, Pumpkin Hydrating Series. 

P.S.-I'm not sure why I have an obsession with pumpkins.  I have pumpkin men everywhere, I shampoo my hair in pumpkin shampoo, I crave pumpkin pie, and the list could go on and on. 

You can buy this shampoo a lot cheaper online, I didn't know this and spent way to much.  I have found it on Amazon.com and EBAY.    

Boat Ropes

Another good buy on sandals, and can't you see me wearing these on the dock?  They look like the rope ties for your boat.  

A MEAL I wished I had Right Now!

You know when you are starving and your in the mood for a certain food, and nothing else sounds good. WELL, I have been craving 2 meals, and I don't want anything else! 1st its my Cuban cafe' down the road from where I work, I eat there once a week and if I weren't afraid to know the calories in the meal, I would probably eat there 3 times a week. It consists of yellow rice and beans, with the BEST chicken on the bone you will ever eat! It falls right off the bone, it's tender and juicy and the flavor is amazing! My second meal would be my Asian and sushi place near our little town. They have the best sushi rolls, and I crave their shrimp and chicken in garlic sauce with fresh cuts of zucchini, squash, some type of roots, etc. The shrimp are huge, they don't mess around with the tiny ones. If only I could eat here once a day!

I Have a New Found Love

Last night my tenderloin turned out delicious! The Green Egg has been the best purchase we have ever made! I have a new LOVE for grilling. I can say I'm EGGdicted...he he (made that one up myself) :) Jim and I went to the grocery store and we have all our meals planned on the EGG this week. I love Holiday sales, we purchased Lobster, Shrimp, etc...all were GREAT prices. Here's the menu for the week...all prepared on the EGG.

Tonight:

Grilled lobster tails soaked in lime,cilantro, butter
Chilled Orzo Salad
Asparagus Spears

Tuesday:

Classic grilled hamburgers & garlic potato wedges

Wed:

Hand tossed Pizza with fresh garden toppings

Thurs:

BBQ Shrimp
Mashed Potatoes
Corn on the Cob

Fri:

I might be off to my first ALL LADIES FISHING TOURNAMENT IN PENSACOLA FLORIDA...I MIGHT HAVE TO HOLD OFF ON MY MENU :)

By the way, tonight is the Bachelorete, I CANT WAIT!!! Now I'm headed home from work in the stormy weather to heat the EGG up.

Coffee Anyone?

I found these for $9.99 at the World Market.  We go through so many tiny coffee cups I have no space in my cabinets, BUT NOW, I found these and all you do is stack them up! They are cute and save space.  I thought this was a great price and I loved the colors.

Bubble Baths

There's nothing like taking a hot bubble bath, that is one thing I love and I have become addicted to it.  If I'm out of town I crave a hot bath before bed.  I can't sleep good without one.

The only thing is I cant take baths anywhere else except for my own home.  Its something about taking a bath in a hotel room or at someones home...I think of all the feet, butts, and pee that has been in that bath and I can't do it.  So last night I took my sugar cubes and enjoyed a nice long hot bath.  I have tried so many products to make the bath water smell fragrant.  I have finally found one that it perfect.  It's called Sugar Cubes...it makes the bath water smell sweet and has moisture pearls.  I can't wait till my next bath :)
