birchbox…

a couple of weeks ago i signed up for birchbox, the clever site dedicated to sending you the latest beauty product samples straight to your home. for a minor $10 bucks you can have a nice sized bounty mailed ready for exploring. so if your a beauty junky like me, i’d say join the fun. i can’t wait to get my first box!

its 2011! hooray!

i’m beyond excited that 2010 has gone & disappeared! it wasn’t the greatest one i’ve had, but it’s over & i’m ready to leave it behind. the holidays are over & now it’s back to blogging & embracing new projects. it’s all about effort & enthusiasm this 2011.

here are some shots that made me happy… {from top to bottom– bourdain book set, the almighty keurig, my favorite coffee shop mascot, my christmas tree, & the wonderfully comforting fireplace at foxy’s}

buds & butterflies…

just weeks away from the new year & have been looking for items to spruce up my desk area. cavallini & co’s paper goods are one of my favorites & this papillon calendar is right on my radar. simple, chic, & vintage-feeling, it will make bringing in the new year much more inviting! p.s. those vivienne tam ear buds are beyond cute!
