Iris eau de toilette Spray by Crabtree and Evelyn

About a year ago I discovered at Hallmark this amazing scent. Every time I would go in I would always spritz a little on my wrist, not ready to make the commitment of purchasing a bottle for myself. So after admiring it all this time, this was the only thing I asked my husband to […]

Numi Moroccan Mint Tea

Meet my new favorite tea – Moroccan Mint! A co-worker of mine introduced this to me and I fell in love. This is similar to a tea she had while in Egypt, as this tea leaf is found in North Africa. There, it’s known as the “nana mint”. My co-worker swears by this tea that […]

Getting Healthy: Nutribullet Style

A few weeks ago, late at night right before bedtime, one of those attention grabbing infomercials came on. Sprawled out in front of the host (and creator of the gadget) was an array of veggies and fruit. He said what was in front of him wasn’t a “blender” but an “extractor” of nutrition, calling it […]

Anthropologie & Victoria’s Secret | My Sunday Out

With good reason, it’s been a while since this girl has gone shopping or enjoyed a Sunday out. Today, I decided to discard my pajamas, actually curl my hair, and wear my red lipstick and go to the local town center. It was time to get out and enjoy myself, even with it flurrying all […]

February Book of the Month

Twelve days ago (Yes, I counted), I said that I was going to attempt to read a book a month to get myself back on track with reading and dust off the books that have gone untouched on my bookshelf for a few years. I wanted to finish the book I was currently reading by […]
