1.  To Go Spa's Green Tea Eye Patches

 I can't take credit for this find I read about it Molly Sims' amazing book.  I was a bit skeptical but took the chance anyway.  The price isn't too bad $12.50 for 3 sets of eye patches.  Molly (like we're friends) suggested putting them in the fridge and then using them!  I have to say she was exactly right.  

 For over a week Em has been sick and sleep hasn't been happening regularly so I used the patches and boom amazing results.  While I don't use them everyday these are my new go to tired eye fixer!

2.  Chanel Eye Shadow in Mystic Eyes

 I needed to change up my eye shadow game.  You know I love my Naked palette so I haven't felt the need to purchase any new eye shadow in a very long time.  I found this eyeshadow quad at Chanel and instantly fell in love.  I feel like it is such a good mix of colors and will absolutely carry me into spring/summer.

3.  Proactive Purifying Mask

 I have been a faithful user of proactiv products for many years.  I am slowly making the transition over to Rodan & Fields products, anyone else?  

 The one item I haven't been able to give up yet is the facial mask from proactiv.  Whenever my skin is going haywire (which happens often) I can put it on and it seems to calm things down and correct my skin.  While I don't use the mask as often as I should (about once a month or once every two months) I am going to make an effort to use it more because the results are awesome!

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 bleed...

I'm Jealous Of My Husband

I have to be honest I almost didn't publish this post.  This is a real and raw post.  I finally hit publish because I figured I couldn't be the only one feeling this way. I will tell you I didn't know I was jealous of Matt at first.  I knew I was angry, resentful, overwhelmed and afraid.  As a wife and mother the to do list seems never ending.  Whether you work or not being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, if not the hardest job on the planet.   Matt and I are blessed to both have fulfilling careers and therefore we have someone who helps us 5 days a week.   For a long time I felt bad for being a working mother.  I've made my peace with that.  I am now thankful instead of guilty.  It was a long road but I'm in a good place with it.  I'm not saying that from time to time I don't wrestle with working and being mother but on the whole I am comfortable with my choice.   So when these feelings started c...

A Sad Season

I have to tell you that these past few months and perhaps this year have been hard and yes sad.  My mother told me when we were talking about it that I was experiencing "a sad season" and I have to agree. Now this doesn't mean that everything has been awful, sad and terrible.  I haven't been in bed for weeks at a time with the covers over my head watching trash tv.  Instead I feel like it has been one of those times were the hits just keep on coming.  The bad news just keeps rolling in like ocean waves.  It has been a time of tremendous loss and sadness.  The events that have occurred aren't the same but it felt like every time I would get my ahead above water something else would happen.   It has been difficult because there are happy times mixed in to all of the sad.  In those times of happiness I have genuinely tried to be in the moment but my heart wasn't in the right place.  My heart has not felt happy and there has been an undercurr...
