Viva, Las Vegas!

August 27th, 2009 by Catherine

I’ve been begging and begging (and begging) my boyfriend to escape with me to Vegas since we started dating nearly 4 years ago. We haven’t gone and now that he’s booked a trip with his buddies, it’s not looking too promising that he will ever make me his wingman there. No worries though – we’ve got plenty of other vacations in our history, plus a bevy of other trips to come.

So when he’s taking his trip to Sin City in October, I’ll be planning my much chic-er trip with my girlfriends to the same city, only later in the year. The MGM Grand has just slashed prices on select dates through February and throwing in a slew of perks, including entrance to Studio 54 and Tabu, and most importantly, entry to their all-you-can-eat buffet. I’m so there.

Click here to book through MGM’s website and remember – what happens in Vegas doesn’t really stay there. I hope you’re reading, boyfriend!!

You’ll always be my boo.

August 27th, 2009 by Catherine

I’ve always adored the scent of baby products. Whether it’s the result of my own childhood memories is debatable, but I can’t get enough of the pure and sweet scent of these lotions and body washes. 

da_room_spray_bWhen I first learned of Noodle & Boo, I made a beeline for their counter at Nordstrom to quickly try some of the products. And just as I expected, it was love at very first smell.  The brand’s signature fragrance, crème douce, smells just as you’d expect a baby to smell like – delicate, milky and ever so sweet. Their line of products is just as adorable. With everything you need to keep you and your little ones smelling cherub-like, my absolute favorite is their Room Spray. Blended with peach, water blossoms, ripe mixed berries and clover honey, with top notes of warm milk and vanilla beans, the combined scent is pure loveliness and an ideal pick-me-up for stagnant-smelling rooms. 

Available here for $20, it’s a great gift for anyone with or without kiddies!

The Hunt: Lovely Lip Gloss

August 27th, 2009 by Catherine

I’m a self-proclaimed lip product junkie and I’m not afraid to say it. Long before “experts” made claims about lip gloss addiction, I knew I was hooked but to this day just don’t care. If this is what addiction looks like, it’s safe to say my family won’t be staging an intervention anytime soon.

Rose Lip Treat No 4 LipPetalIf you, too, are a lip product junkie, then please feel free to embrace my latest obsession from London-origin, Pixi. The charming cosmetics line has expanded over 10 years to offer everything you need to look polished and sweet, from blushes and foundations, to nail polishes and fragrances. Their latest launch, called Rose Lip Treat, has made its way into my cosmetics clutch already. Available in 4 lovely shades, it’s soothing enough to de-chap my lips with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, but adds enough color and shine to pull my look together in a pinch. You can find their Lip Treat for $12, along with their other obsession-worthy products, at Target stores nationwide and online.
