The Little Things

Just wanted to share a few little bright spots from the past couple weeks.  I used to do this every week with my “Happy Little Things” series, but I’ve gotten away from it.  I think it’s important to take the time to slow down and appreciate the little things in life… so I’m going to make more of an effort to photograph and share the little details from my life more often here.

{Is there anything better than fresh flowers?}

{I am turning 31 this Thursday.  This gift to myself softened the blow.}

{The awesome people at Dr. Jart sent over these treats to try.  The Detoxifying Beauty Balm is the first BB Cream I’ve tried and I’m hooked.  If you are lazy (or like me, not a morning person,) you need this.  It’s basically moisturizer, foundation, and SPF all rolled into one. The Firming Sleeping Mask is a great way to end the day}  I really love that Dr. Jart’s products are formulated with out all the bad stuff:  parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and so forth.}

{Pumpkin shopping at the Union Square Farmers Market.}

{I absolutely love Fresh’s beauty products, but rarely splurge on them.  I’ve been working with a nutritionist… the first week was pretty tough – all protein shakes and veggis.  I was pretty proud of myself, and treated myself to a few treats…  Lemon sugar is a perennial favorite of mine – adore the shower gel + lotion… and the new Sugar Berry Tinted Lip Treatment is pretty fantastic too.}

    Love that coffee table and Fresh is AMAZING! Great treat to yourself. Have to admit I tried Dr. Jart’s via Birchbox and wasn’t in love… possibly because I like a slightly heavier foundation? 
    Happy early birthday!

      Oh that’s so funny!  I don’t wear foundation, so this felt like an increase in coverage to me.

      Thank you Kathy!!!  This one is actually red.  I loved the pink one too but felt like it would have a shorter shelf-life.

      Charles Passler – he is INCREDIBLE!  His program is strict but it works.  In my first three weeks I have never felt better… and I lost 8 lbs.
