My Top Ten

I had some free time on my hands this weekend and it was fabulous! :)  I watched an amazing movie marathon on TNT that included Mystic River, A Perfect Murder, and Double Jeopardy.  As I was watching I started thinking about my favorite things because a movie marathon is one of my favorite things!  And then I took it a step further and started thinking about my top ten favorite things.

So for your reading pleasure here is my top ten (part one)!

10.  Diet Coke

I love, love diet coke so much.  I know that anything I can put on my car battery that eats of corrosion should probably not go in my body but whatevs!  It's my thing and I love it.  Everyone tells me to stop drinking it but I can't!  By the way I'm sipping on a diet coke as a write this, ha!


9.  Mani/Pedi

One thing I cannot live without is a mani/pedi.  The hubs always laughs because he says the world could be coming to an end and I would be running out the door to get a manicure/pedicure.  :)  I just feel so much more pulled together when my nails and toes look good.  It makes me happy to have brightly painted nails!


8.  High Heels

I love a great pair of heels!  I just feel better in heels, the higher the better.  I can feel dumpy or tired but give me some killer heels and I feel like I've lost 10 lbs :)  The only time I wear flats is when my poor little feet can't take the pain anymore!  High heels are one of my fav, fav favorite things.


7.  Facials

I get facials often but not as often as I would like.  My favorite kind of facials is a microderm abrasion facial.  I feel so much better when it's done and my skin literally glows.  I love how I feel when the facial is over and how tight and smooth my skin is.  If you've never had a microderm abrasion facial run do not walk to the nearest spa and get one!


6.  Stationary

I have to admit that I'm addicted to stationary and pretty paper in general.  I don't write on normal post it notes but instead have this really pretty paper I use and then staple it to whatever I'm working on.  It makes me happy to open my desk drawer and see a new pack of stationary I get to use.  For my wedding I used an amazing gal, Callie Burnette, (her site is http://www.calliespondence.com/) for thank you notes and I loved them.  I still have a few and use them sparingly. 


Stay tuned tomorrow for the rest of my top ten!

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

Old School Calendar

Soo I have a case of the Mondays and by the way it's Tuesday....booo!  I had a super fun weekend at Steeplechase and honestly wish Steeplechase happened about once every month because it was such a good time.  :) When the hubs and I returned on Sunday from Cville we started talking about all the upcoming events/weddings/trips/business trips etc. we had coming up in the next 5 months and it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest!  I know I have all these things coming up but to be honest they are sneaking up on me.  For example I will be in St. Simons for a work conference next week and I completely forgot.  I leave the day after my birthday (is it just me or do birthdays get let special the older you get?)  So I have been scrambling all day to make my travel arrangements and in general get my sh!t together. I realized that I'm probably going to have to buy an old school day planner to keep the hubs and I organized over the next six months.  When I mentioned this
