I Want Me Some Snow!

Alright enough is enough! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for this balmy, warm, weather, I do love it!! But between November 20th - January 2 it needs to be cold. Not brutally, eyes tearing want to shiver up and die cold but at least cold enough to snow. Of course I'm in the holiday spirit and getting excited about Christmas cookies and 25 days of Chistmas but this 60 degree (ehem 74 degree on Monday) weather is making it feel not so much like the holidays. So for everyone else who is feeling this way or who may live below the Mason Dixon line or the Equator here are plenty of snowy pictures to help bring a mind set for a light snow storm!!  

And With all this wanted to snow I will have a reasonto buy the adorable "Toggle Coat in Wool-Cashmere"from J. Crew

PS: To ALL weathermen, I am NOT asking for a blizzard like last Christmas. Not trying to be stuck in my house with all my christmas money for 5 plus days unable to go shopping. Just a light dusting would be nice 4 - 5 inches at most, Thanks! 

Art Deco

The Roaring Twenties are definitely one of my favorite time periods. It was all glitz and glam from the buildings to the fashion. Everyone seemed to live in a dream that consisted of one huge party where all they did was dress up, drink and dance. Lucky for me shows like "Boardwalk Empire" has inspired a great deal of 1920's fashion into styles for today, she here are some options to dress like a Charleston Cutie!

Boston

Such a pretty day to be a tourist

This past weekend my friend and I traveled up to Merrimack College in Andover Massachusetts to visit my brother. It was also a great excuse to hop on the train and take a quick ride into Boston. We got to catch a hockey game, (Merrimack vs. Boston University) in which Merrimack won with a goal in overtime to win it, very exciting! My friend and I wandered around Boston acting like tourists, visiting historic points of interest, and eating gelato in the North End (Little Italy). And to top it off we got to relive college, hanging out with my brother and his friends in their dorm playing drinking games and crashing way later then I normally would. It was a fantastic weekend and I cannot wait to go back to visit, or possibly move to Bean town.

Winter Skin

So as much as I love this time of year, with the changing of the seasons and the holidays right around the corner, the cold weather leaves my skin dryer than a lake bed. However this past summer my mom introduced me to the best skin hydrator ever, Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula, Skin Therapy Oil. Not only does it smell like summer but it also does not leave your skin feeling like you were just slicked down with butter. Instead your skin gets a pretty sheen and bonus it helps even out skin tone and reduce the look of stretch marks (if you have any). It is plainly just the best and I plan on using it probably the rest of my life and recommend that every one else purchase a bottle or two. Trust me you will be hooked after using it just once.

$9.99 You can get it at any grocery store or drug store.
