The first batch of picante style sauce I made was a Part 1 of a Wagon Wheel Pasta Salad recipe. Since I needed only one cup of sauce for the pasta salad, I used the rest as salsa dip for tortilla chips. May I add, a great snack for watching football =) I still have …
Lush Review: Iced Wine Shower Jelly
Okay, seeing that it has been pretty cold out, I decided this wouldn’t be a bad time to re-stock on some Lush favorites and finally try Iced Wine Shower Jelly. As I suspected, it survived the mail without melting. I absolutely love the scent of Iced Wine. It’s reminiscent of spiked sweet cider. Sooo good! …
Anya Hindmarch Makeup Case
I’m such a nut for make up bags- you’ve seen them; the ones with the double compartments in which you can store your favorite brushes and mascara and with a bottom section large enough for all your cosmetic goodies. I’m not picky on whether it’s coated canvas or smooth heavyweight nylon but Anya Hindmarch’s version …
Deux Lux: Love Rekindled
My love for Deux Lux has been rekindled this year with the release of their Supernova Tote. It’s a great dressed up version of the everyday bag and affordable too. My favorite versions of it are in Moonshadow and Gunmetal. A perfect way to look stylish on your errands or at the library. The third …
Rachel Roy’s Koala Bear Ring
I’m still forming an opinion on Rachel Roy (not too familiar with her brand yet). Her Koala Bear Ring has definitely given me a great first impression. Koalas are dear to my heart; they are furry little lovable creatures. I’ve never seen such a cute statement piece before; rarely has a koala bear appeared in …
I Dream of Mulberry
I’ve been obsessing over this brand recently- thoughts spurred on by the launch of Mulberry for Target (the large black patent Bayswater remains elusive). The Alexa style is a chic messenger bag with a school gal sweetness. I wish I owned this bag too! My all-time favorite is the Bayswater in blue calf-hair. Gorgeous! Gorgeous! …
Lush Bath Cocktail Indulgence
This post isn’t really a detailed review, as much as the ones I normally post about. It’s just a mini rave that I loved this citrusy blend: the last of my Easter Egg (Yellow) Bath Ballistic ~1/3, Karma Bubble Bar (oh sooo yummy smelling) ~1/2, and Floating Island Bath Melt ~1/2. It was simply wonderful …
Lush Review: Glögg Shower Gel
If you want a spicy, perfect for cold Fall days/Winter-type shower gel, than Glögg is for you! OMG I REALLY love it!!! It reminds me of a hot mug of apple cider with a cinnamon stick… Watching t.v., a soft throw blanket over me, with a warm mug of apple cider =)… How can I …
Lush Review: Sweetie Pie Shower Jelly
I visited a Lush boutique in Manhattan recently (the one near East 14th. Street/Union Square Park) and remembered that I really wanted to try one of their candy sweet shower jellies (particularly because I’ve always feared it melting while being shipped and so I’ve never ordered them online). I also heard through the grape vine …
Pier 1 Hayworth Vanity Pieces
Every once in a while, Pier 1 can pleasantly surprise me. I adore these furniture pieces which are part of their Hayworth Collection. They look more expensive than they really are and can spruce up a plain room in a very pretty way. I believe any of these can be combined well with a shabby …
