Favorite Things - Week 2

A few different bloggers are having favorite things parties on a weekly basis so I thought I would join. This week I have decided to share my most recent favorite, Avon Luminosity. I am not usually an Avon consumer, however, I got a good deal on this so I thought I would give it a try. I LOVE IT! It makes my skin even toned and takes away all blemishes! I hurried and ordered two more just to make sure I would not run out. Give it a try!

I linked up to The Speckled Dog.

My Favorite Things!

Hello!! Today I am linking up to 320 Sycamore's 2010 Favorite Things Party! I have a ton of personal favorites such as my family, friends, babies (dogs), and baby blanket (yes, I still sleep with my blanky). I know these are things that other people can't go out and buy, so for now I am going to post five of my favorite things that are available in stores. = )

Update: The Speckled Dog is also having a FAVORITE THINGS party. I will be linking up there as well!

In no particular order my favorites include:

1. My MacBook Pro - My boyfriend bought this for me for my Birthday last year and I have used it everyday since. I LOVE my MacBook!

2. Converse - My Converse are my "go to" shoe on the weekend. They are so comfy and I love the look. I have been thinking about trying TOM shoes, but I can't seem to step out of my Converse to give them a try.

3. Marc Jacobs perfume - I have both Daisy and Lola, I love them equally!

4. My camera - My Mom and Dad bought me a simple Kodak camera that I could always carry in my purse. I feel like it takes better pictures than my more expensive camera and love that I can take in everywhere so that I never miss a picture perfect moment!

5. My Hobo wallet - I have had this wallet for years now and I am still not sick of it! Wallets are so spendy but this one is worth the money. If I go out, I can use it as a clutch.

Where to shop for home decor

These are some of my favorite stores to shop at (or get inspired by) when decorating our home.

One of my new favorite cleaners!

I recently learned about Bar Keepers Friend while looking around on different blogs. I happened to come across another new favorite of mine, Newlyweds Next Door. On her blog she mentioned how much she loves Bar Keepers Friend. I decided to give it a try. Believe me, I made sure to really try this product before blogging about it.

My first unexpected surprise was the cost of the product, less than $2! I love myself a DEAL! I bought it at Fred Meyer (that sounded a little like their jingle, not what I was trying for but it works). = ) Anyway, I brought it home and decided to first try it on my shower doors. The glass was no longer see through and I wanted to get that back. So, I got in the shower and scrubbed and to my surprise it worked and I did not even have to work that hard. Once I saw how well it was working I decided to read a little about what it could be used on. It mentioned it could clean glass top stoves. We happen to have a glass top... YAY! I have one spot on my stove top that I had been having a hard time getting clean so I gave it a whirl, it worked!!! Next, I pulled out a pan that was completely covered in rust (I had been so sad about this because I love this pan) and it worked again! I do not own stainless appliances but if I did, I would definitely always have this product around.

My LOVE For Milk Glass

The title of this post pretty much sums it up, I LOVE MILK GLASS! Milk glass is so clean and when I see a large collection with each piece sitting next to each other, I get happy, so very happy. I have no idea why, all of the sudden, I feel that this glass is so amazingly beautiful. I would love to grow my collection, I have just begun and only have two pieces so far. I do have a question for you, how do you know if what you are collecting is truly milk glass and not just a beautiful piece of all white glass? I am new to this and I am not sure of what all I should be looking for. I would really appreciate any helpful tips. = )

Fall....oohhhhh Fall!

Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year, no doubt about it! Everything about Fall is perfect. The smells, clothes, lighting, decorations, candles, food, cuddling, trees, college football... EVERYTHING! I was realizing today that I would rather loose weight and be all cute and skinny in the winter than I would in the summer? Why?? Because I want to bundle up in all the super cute clothes, layer over layer and not look like a huge marshmallow! Some of the things I look forward too....

I LOVE HER!
