2010 web bloggies…

Check out this link to the 10th annual weblog awards. I’m fairly new to the blogging world, but am already loving being a part of it. I find interesting and unique blogs everyday, some that I check out and pass by, and those I return to day after day for my “fix” of inspiration and other musings. Just by viewing the nominees for this years bloggie awards, I’ve already found some new favorites!
Take a look for yourself, who knows what you will discover!

Help for Haiti

The news is just devastating. I find myself not knowing what to think, besides an immense amount of sadness and helplessness. But after watching enough news covereage, I don’t want to just sit around anymore. I’ve decided there is something I can do. Something that everyone can do. Please take a minute to donate to an established non-profit relief organization. There are MANY organizations out there with workers and volunteers helping in Haiti. I’ve listed a few below… give what you can! Whether it’s a penny or a comment every effort matters.

délicieux scents

Hello all you lovely ladies out there… here is a post for the beauty queen in you. I’ve recently discovered L’Occtaine en Provence, which is expensive but utterly divine. Here are some delicious smelling products I am using at the moment:
This eau de toilette from L’Occtaine is so pleasant. The scent is “Cherry, the softness of a single summer”. Yes, I do realize it’s not summer, not even close, but that doesn’t mean I can’t pretend it isn’t. So there.


And I got this wonderful lotion for Christmas (thanks Adams family!!)… Ruban D’Orange Soft Skin Milk. Dreamy. The scent is refreshing without being too strong. It’s a very good moisturizer too… really does a great job on my dry winter skin!

Also, These products are both on sale now, which makes them positively perfect. C’est fantastique! Oui, oui, oui!

Thoughts on my new banner? I’ve been playing around with my blog now that I have a new handy manual. I’ll be experimenting with new ideas for awhile, so come along and enjoy the ride….
