Monday Morning Musings

It's been about 5 months since I moved into our first home and having your own home has been a wonderful experience (For the most part) I love the independence I have, the freedom to come and go as I please and of course the creative outlet to put our home together anyway I wish. So far it has been a lot of fun. I hope that putting together our home will be a continuous work in progress because let's face it - we are always changing and evolving and so should our home. I am at about 80% of where I want to be with our home. A couple things I still want to get done are:

1. Order and hang up wedding pictures in the hall
2. Framed collage on the living room wall
3. Paint the cabinets in the kitchen
4. Re-touch up the middle bedroom paint
5. Get two 3 shelve book cases for the middle bedroom
6. New bedroom set for guest bedroom
   
7. Re-moltch the landscaping in the front
8. Start a little garden in the backyard
9. Get a great organization system in place

Just to name a few. And while I am not a big fan of interior design I have found myself flipping through some articles for inspiration. Here are a few I grabbed.

Monday Must Have: Nars "Orgasm" Blush

I must admit I have become a makeup snob. I have come a long way from my covergirl blush and foundation. Once I entered the doors of Sephora I was a convert. The rows and rows of eye shadow, all the glorious brushes, the perfumes, the skin products, the beautiful lipsticks.... ooh I was in love I tell you. Through my many visits and many products I have grown to love an amazing blush. It is by NARS and the name of the blush....... "Orgasm"

The reason I love this blush so much is because it goes on different for everyone - no joke. I went with a couple of my co-workers. On me it went on a pinkish/red, on my other co worker it went on a orange/red and on my other co worker a pink. It is light and soft - feels good and does not have that cake-y feel to it. Whats even better is it stays on all day! I have a horrible habit of touching my face throughout the day which means I go home looking as if I didnt even try! eek! Thanks to this blush I leave with some color on my cheeks! Cheers to that!
