Silver Lining
I don’t often blog about my work, although it does find its way in. But, the beauty “expert” that I’d like to be compels me to brag on Cover Girl‘s latest and greatest. The new CG LiquilineBlast Eyeliner is the best I have EVER TRIED. It goes on like liquid but can be sharpened with a pencil sharpener. I’m obsessed with it and own it in every shade (there are 6) plus I am NOT being paid to write this!
Reasons why:
I love brown liner but it never stays on my lids! This does! Look for Brown Blaze (Shade 420)
I love any beauty product that out-performs the price I pay for it. At WalMart, it’s under $8!
It’s waterproof and all the colors are very bold.

Bedroom Eyes
On the rare Monday when I feel rested and refreshed, I am reminded of how integral and productive a good night’s rest can be. Everything in my life depends on sleep: my mood, my appetite, my health. It’s vitally important to have a bed that provides you with the best sleep you can have. It’s also lovely to have a bed you love to be in.
I prefer simplicity.
I am partial to white linens and coverlets – despite the puppies.
I love lots of blankets but a very cool room.
I’m partial to feminine.
I love mosquito nets and gauze.
And, I gravitate toward fluffy and soft.
Wanted: Bar Cart
Maybe it’s moving, maybe it’s Mad Men or maybe it’s just me but I really want a bar cart. I recently found the amazing site 1stDibs, as mentioned here. I don’t yet know how it works, exactly. I think you have to become a member to purchase anything, but it might be a worthwhile endeavor as they have a wealth of really cool furnishings and almost anything else you could possibly want.
Back to bar carts, I think you could find something at a local thrift shop and fix it up. 1stDibs has so much in the form of bar carts that it’s nearly impossible to choose a favorite.

Hello Lover
Aren’t you the most beautiful thing ever? Don’t you want to come home with me?

Feathering Your Nest
I’m in the process of finding a new home. I’ve been living with a wonderful friend for THREE years now. It doesn’t seem like that long, but it has been. I feel it’s time to feather my own nest. While the process of finding an attractive rental for me & wiggles & birdie is proving to be strenuous, I cannot wait to gussy up my new place.
I’m completely inspired by the following sites for house and home decor: Canvas, Horne , 1stDibs, CBell, Graham and Green, Ruby Plaza, The Well Appointed House , Wisteria & Anthropologie
Below are some of my favorite finds.
Crystal Chair, Tufted Chair, Flowers/Vase, Bedroom Chair, Four Post Bed/Crystal Chandelier, Metal Dining Table, Drop Pendant, Patio Chair, Stacks, Antique Blue Side Tables, French Writing Desk, Art Deco Bar Cart, Moroccan Leather Pouffe, Portabello Cabinet, Crystal Table Lamp, 50s Style Chest of Drawers, Lucite Etagere, Clover Mirrored Tray, Lucite Side Table, Mantadia Rug, Ruffle Shower Curtain, Crowned Crane Bedding
Jewelry Porn: Cuffed
Cuffs are so much fun, don’t you think? I’m talking about cuff bracelets rather than handcuffs, which are inherently not fun. I was reminded by an email from Charm & Chain how much I love cuffs.
Enjoy!
