sex and the city,

nail polish,

frisbee with my toes in the sand.

i'll post my favorite links on monday.

Josie Does Organic

{via}

josie maran (model and entrepreneur) has a fantastic organic makeup line that i have been dying to try. from natural oils, to skin perfect bronzer and ethereal shadows, she seems to have a beautiful and delicate vision for the female face. nothing overly dramatic- only soft femininity. plus, none of those toxic chemicals that come with the makeup we love so much (sad).

not the most frugal of finds, however, spending an itty bitty more for natural and safe products is worth my extra, hard earned dollar ($$) bills.

summer set for 2010

tinted moisturizer, $38

natural volume lip gloss is precious, $20

eyeshadow in cinnamon, $20

argan oil, $48

im especially interested in experimenting with the argan oil- lightweight and safe for your face as a daily moisturizer, hair (split ends, gag) and cuticles. sounds devoooon!

xo,

it's monday, and that's about it.

(oh how i wish i were doing this right about now...)

yep, it's monday folks.
and besides pushing through this mundane day with as much zeal as a hypnotized sloth,

im very much looking forward to tonight's Taste of the Nation.

50 of Portland's best restaurants, wineries and breweries.

divine!

xo,

For the Love of Friday (and bacon)

{via}

excellent way of thinking and my motto

yay for friday!

i have no real plans besides the farmer's market and some relaxing.

but that is good enough for me.

(and catching up on the last 2 seasons of FNL, duh).

but i hope everyone else is able to relish in a sunny, relaxing weekend as well.

so, a few tidbits of enjoyment for you, my lovely readers...

cheers!

happy thursday, darlings!

and a very happy EARTH day.

although i hate to admit, im not the perfectly 'green' city girl around...but on a day like today, i need to remind myself to give a little daily love for this place we call home.

no bottled water, short showers, lights off etc.

but alright, enough of me preaching.

im not trying to be all sanctimonious on your ass.

i do have to share with you this darling earth day video

(and this pug is just a gem)!

xo,
