I am so in love with Hope in a Jar! I used to use Cliniques Dramatically Different for years and years because it was the only moisturizer that didn't break me out. It did an ok job, but since I started using Hope in a Jar, it is like I have new skin!
Yes, it's pricey...but you can always pick it up for a good deal on ebay. For what it has done for my skin I will always have Hope on my vanity table.

I try, whenever possible, to buy products that haven't been tested on animals or created using animal products. Matt & Nat make it easy. So far I own a "Bond Street" purse and inside that is a "Euro" wallet and a "Sookie" bag (for all those little things a girls just gotta carry. I love that their bags are really great quality and worth every penny I pay for them. They have a really classic look that is edgy and trendy at the same time. I can see myself carrying any of their bags for years to come. -

I thought my hair was beyond hope until I discovered BedHead. I've beenusing the Brunette shampoo and conditioner for months and absolutely love it. The chocolatey almond scent makes me look forward to every shower.
I've been using the supercharged volumizing leave-in conditioner and my hair has never been this soft and stayed so tangle free all day (I previously used Aussie). I also use Control Freak serum to help me control it.
I plan to try more products in the line (my next purchase will be hairspray) and, based on my experiences thus far, I am sure to be impressed!

I expected so much more of this powder than I felt it delivered. To put it in perspective - I don't tend to wear liquid foundation and try to hunt down powders that cover well. This one doesn't at all.
For someone who actually wanted it to finish off after concealer and foundation - this might just be the perfect powder for you. For me - I just wasn't happy and am glad to have moved on (I have since switched to Bare Minerals.)

Why oh why didn't I buy this stuff years ago when I saw it on TV? I've had a love/hate relationship with foundations since I first attempted to cover up breakouts at age 12. Nothing worked and if it did work - it looked so obvious that I was covering something up. I'd given up on actually doing anything but toning down the little shine I had and had only really worn pressed powder as a base for years.
And then I got a little mad money and headed to Sephora...well I had to visit both Calgary locations before I could find my colour (apparently there are alot of Calgarians needing the light kit).
It was love at first buff. I love how it covers everything without being noticable. I don't have as many breakouts as I have had in the past, but this covers what I do have and looks so natural. What's more - I had a bad skin infection on my face this summer that left me with alot of pigmentation scars...and this stuff covers them too. I am so happy with the entire kit!
I am now a bare minerals convert and look forward to many happy years with my new favourite makeup!

I loved ShopGirl! Steve Martin is such a great authour and has a way of really humanizing his characters so you can experience what they are feeling. It's a pretty short book so makes for a very fast read.
I also loved the movie adaptation and highly recommend both. I usually get disgusted at movies after I read the book, but this was one where I felt they had done it right!

MEC Travel All Shoulder Bag
For 15 bucks, you really can't beat the quality. IT's a style that will never go out of style. This was the first purse that I actaully carried steadilly for 5 years. Once I hit the big 3-0, I found it was a bit small for everything that I found... +
For 15 bucks, you really can't beat the quality. IT's a style that will never go out of style. This was the first purse that I actaully carried steadilly for 5 years. Once I hit the big 3-0, I found it was a bit small for everything that I found I needed to carry so I bought a larger purse. This bag, however, still has a few years left in it - YES, even after being hauled around everywhere for 5 years!!! I will likely have one of these bags in my collection for a very long time as they are perfect for travelling and exploring.
I am planning to buy these as gifts for every woman in my family who is coming to Mexico for my wedding in the spring. Nothing quite like spreading the love :)

I have been a dedicated Nalgene user for over 10 years now. They are worth every penny and are actually really reasonably priced. I have bought so many of them over the years that we have a cupboard in our house that is completely full of just Nalgenes! lol. I hate the taste of bottled water and find that it is just as convenient to always have my nalgene with me. Best of all, they come in a large variety of sizes and colours so you can refresh your bottle style as the seasons change...just like you refresh your wardrobe! -
