Vince, Drama, E, and Turtle

The Entourage boys are taking their final bow this Sunday.  The earlier seasons were hilarious and worth grabbing from Netflix.  I will miss watching the craziness they call the LA scene. 

Have a great weekend!

rumor has it...

Word on the street is that Donna Karan Cashmere Mist deodorant is the BEST out there.  Have not tried it myself, but have heard from multiple sources-in just the last few days- that it's a girl's best friend.  (Would have come in handy for me this week....haven't found time to shower until after dinner each night.)

Think I may need to go pick me up a 3 pack this weekend!
PS.  It is going to be a gorgeous day.  Enjoy it!

kninkles?

Yet another reason I am SO appreciative of the paparazzo allowing me to scoot about town without being photographed.   The lenses are now focusing on kninkles.  What is a kninkle you wonder?  They would be knew wrinkles.  The dreaded saggy knee syndrome.  Looking at my own knees, I am safe for now.  But as with everything, the clock is ticking. 

Can you guess the faces that go with these shamefully wrinkled knees?

I am sure some hot shot, LA based plastic surgeon will develop a procedure to bring back the youthful look and feel of knees.  The surgical answer to kninkles.  

What to read the ridiculous article in its entirety?

I don't spend a lot of time or thought on beauty products. Pretty much think they are a waste of energy and hard earned cash.  (This excludes makeup, which is not an indulgence but rather a necessity in life.)  However, Ginger Souffle-Whipped body cream is one of about 5 things I use on a daily basis.  Made by Origins, it is hands down "the best in show" when it comes to a lotion.  The perfect balance of moisture, shine, and scent-without being greasy or overly sweet!  Pop into an Origins store or the Origins counter at Macy's and ask for a sample.  I promise, you will not be disappointed!

Swing by your local Starbucks and grab a Pick of the Week card.  This week it is the App, Spy Mouse, for free.  Easy to follow directions are on the back of the card.  Downloaded it yesterday and it is already a family favorite!

Check back each Tuesday because every week Starbucks offers a new Pick of the Week.  The picks will now include free music, apps, books, and tv shows. 

Who doesn't love a little something for free?  Well, you are paying $4 for a cup of coffee, it is the least they can do.  

ps. no purchase required

shower required

I giggled when I read this article about Elle MacPherson and her panache for dressing as the "ever always" super model to grab her kids from school.  Check her out!

Seriously?

While I did not splash out for a new ensemble or a new hair style, I did up my game a bit today.  A shower was required.  Well, at least for the first day of school.   I established a rule for myself that the first day warranted a little effort on my part.  Hey, I even put on a little mascara this morning.  That is probably the best I have got.  For the next 179 days you will find me in work out gear or sweats at drop off.  Heck, if I am being brutally honest- on dark, dreary days in the doldrums of January it might even be my pj's.  (That is when you say a little prayer that your car doesn't break down and you are stranded on the side of the road as everyone you know drives past!) 


Here is to a great school year and to never getting caught in your pjs!

I am intrigued....

Pinterest.   Maybe I am WAY behind the time and you all know about this? 

As described on the website:
"Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.
Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests."

It is a collection of virtual bulletin boards to which people post everything imaginable.  Categories include style, photography, DIY, weddings, and many others.  Not sure exactly how I would use it, but I came across a few images that caught my eye.
