lip smacking good

lip gloss is one of my most favorite things in the world. i hate, hate, hate lipstick and never wear it. so, because of this quirk, i've tried and owned a gazillion tubes of lip gloss. while basic cherry chap stick still is one of my all time favorite things, this lip gloss from clinique continues to be my go-to for going out, every day, and everything in between. its thick enough to actually feel like something is on your lips, but its not goopy or sticky. it comes in a variety of colors so that everyone can find something they love and that works. try the raspberry or ginger for everyday. they offer the perfect amount of color without worrying about leaving marks on a coffee cup or shirt collar. which we all know ends badly.

peeping tom

i know. roman shades? really? REALLY. these are the best in quality and price. they are from home depot and come in every size imaginable. they provide an amazing amount of light filtering and look really good from both inside & outside the home. even better- they are inexpensive. i actually attached mine directly to the window and not from the hooks that they come with so they are super sturdy. the only warning is that when it's dark outside and lights are on inside they are see-through. so some type of curtain is necessary for rooms where you may need some privacy. or not if you're into that sort of thing.
