Heard of Cerulean?

Have you heard of Cerulean? Don’t feel badly, I had not heard of it until a few weeks ago and it took me a while to figure out how to even pronounce the name of this company.

Maybe this will help: Cerulean \Ce*ru”le*an\ [from the Latin caerulus dark blue, dark green, applied to the sky, [...]

You Say Its Your Birthday

These days keeping up with birthdays for friends and family is fairly easy, you can log them in your Outlook calendar, keep track on Facebook OR keep track the old fashioned way.

Even with modern technology, sometimes I don’t realize it’s someone’s birthday until a day late. It actually happend this week, I forgot to wish [...]

Hunt for the Great Mascara

How many tubes of mascara have you tried in your lifetime? I am not sure I could even start to count.

We have all been there, the decision between the $50 mascara from Neiman Marcus and the $6.00 mascara from Walgreens.

I have finally reached my decision on which way to go–thanks to a little help from [...]

Pack it Perfectly

In a small sun filled room in the fashion district, the Lapin Vilardi atmosphere is as open, whimsical, and challenging as the day they started. All of their goods are dreamt, designed and manufactured in downtown L.A. Quality control is very important to these girls, and if they can’t see it, touch it and [...]

Reusable Wrap

I like to think of myself as a great gift giver, there is no feeling better than to give the perfect gift.

Wrapping, however, has never been my strength. I know what I want, and I know how I want it to look, but when it is all said and done it’s never perfect. My [...]

I don’t know about you, but when I go to the beach I need a lot of space for my stuff. My tote bag, my cooler, you know, room for all the stuff a gal takes to the beach. I was thrilled to find this over-sized towel by Deck Towel.

Deck Towel makes linen [...]

Something Old Something New

This weekend was a special weekend for my family. My husband’s sister was married and it was a beautiful ceremony and amazing party; she was a classically beautiful bride.

In the middle of all the chaos, while I was supposed to be practicing my reading, I noticed a beautiful purse sitting in the church. It was an amazing [...]

No More Slip & Slide

I used to attend Bikram Hot Yoga daily, if you’ve ever been to a hot yoga class then you know that the room gets crowded and so hot and sweaty; 105-115 degrees hot (and smelly).  As soon as I would get myself into the perfect pose I would slip around on my mat and fall over causing disruption [...]

Sugar Spice Everything Nice

Managing a drawer of spices has to be one of my biggest pet peeves.

We have a drawer with no less than 100 tiny bottles; every kind of spice that you can imagine sits in that drawer. When I’m playing co-chef in the kitchen I usually have to get on my knees and search through the [...]

Pick Me, KEEP ME

I was recently introduced to the softest, most luxurious and refreshingly fashion-forward loungewear line called KEEP ME.

By now, it’s no surprise to you that on the weekends I dress for comfort, so it is important that I have pieces that can take me from cleaning and the couch to yoga and errands without any [...]
