$5 freaking dollars!!!!!

Which ones?

Well.....People Stylewatch (my fave mag btw), Cosmo, Real Simple, House Beautiful, Southern Living, and Food and Wine.

There's also a few others, but these definitely stood out to me.

a little update and a little video...

Happy almost Turkey day!  I have been sooooo missing in action these last few days getting things together for the holiday and little l's birthday, plus (wait for it) I joined a gym!

Well, technically I've been donating (as the fabulous Amber of Beauty Blogging Junkie fame says) for the past month or so, but not any more!

I found a gym buddy and have started to go on the regular.  I feel so much better and can't wait to start shedding this baby weight before it becomes freaking teenager weight.  Ya know what I mean?

Anywho, that's been my thing and that's why I've been here and there and not really here on the blog as much as I've liked.

Sorry!

To make it up to you, here's a clip from an old Thanksgiving episode of Friends...the one where Rachel makes the horrible trifle.  My favorite line is delivered by Ross "it tastes like feet"...hilarious.

Enjoy!

scents i'm loving...

In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon ($34)

The bottle just screams display me don't you think?
What has me going is how long the scent lasts and how fabulous it smells.
Totally not overpowering at all.
I'm not a perfume expert, but I can definitely catch the gorgeous florals and the warmth from the amber woods.
Makes this just about right for fall and winter.

 Kenzo Power Cologne ($68)

All I can say is holy cats my husband smells AMAZING when he wears this.
It's just the perfect scent for a man.
Not too strong.  Not too light.
Just perfect.
What you want your guy to smell like.
A woody citrus-it contains notes like verbena, bergamot, cardamom and even black pepper too.
Whatever it is, it equals hubba-hubba.
Seriously.

Burberry The Beat Eau de Parfum ($49.19 at fragrancenet.com)

This is one of those pow kinda scents that really gets you right off the bat.
Definitely not for the faint of heart.
This is for the person who wants to be noticed.
But in a majorly fab way.
It's considered a woody floral with notes of bergamot, cardamom, pink pepper, mandarin, ceylon tea, iris, white musk, vetiver, and cedar.
I noticed the pepper and musk immediately.
So a little dab did it for me.
Great for the nubby knits of winter.
