air plants

i finally got my act together, put the bowl the nice folks at west elm gave me from their gardening event and 'planted' my air plants. 

 it was so easy - large glass bowl + a little sand + air plants from my local gardening store.

find a home for it and water as needed!

 

makeup additions - lip treatments

when it comes to makeup i have a tendency go for long periods of time without buying anything and then one day i go overboard.  my most recent purchases - ysl's rouge pur couture in le orange and josie maran's argan lip treatment. 

i know orange isn't a color for every one but it's actually a great color and looks different depending on what you wear.  plus the lipstick smells good {bonus!} and is very moisturizing!

i'm loving the josie maran lip treatment too.  i read somewhere that some celebrity makeup artist {i know, i know, that's really vague} puts this on her clients right when they sit in her chair.  it's great to slather on before bed and i love the packaging.  it's pretty enough of leave out on your nightstand!

diy rock candy necklace

 i love this diy rock candy necklace and cakespy is showing you how to make it.  who's down for a sticky neck?  with a necklace that cute...me!

domino quick fixes!

did you love domino magazine?  i did!  secret confession - i have every issue saved.  i probably could sell my collection on ebay but i love them too much.  at least once a year i haul them all out and flip back through for inspiration.

when i found out a domino quick fixes edition was coming back i stalked my local drugstore to get my hands on a copy.  success!  it feels good to have an old friend back!

his + hers tequila shots

tequila might be my least favorite type of booze.  but for my girl margie it's her favorite.  when it came time to stock her bar i knew my gift needed to involve tequila.  at first i thought a bottle and some shot glasses so she could go shot for shot with her soon-to-be husband. :)  but then as i was looking for the perfect shot glasses it game to me to create little packages of his + her shots. 

here's what you need to make:

- glasses like these old fashion ones from crate & barrel
- airplane shots of tequila
- limes
- mini travel containers
- salt

place the lime in bottom of the glass, then the tequila shots and the salt.  wrap with cellophane and tie with a bow!

reading :: dear cary

i am loving my current read - dear cary: my life with cary grant.  it's about dyan cannon's relationship with cary grant.  when they met he was a well-established movie star, while she was just finding her way through hollywood.  it's so interesting to get a peek into their life together.  i'm picturing everything in black and white like an old movie.
