currently loving...

it seems my days are going by so much faster these days. i wake up, and before i know it, the day is coming to an end and it's time to sleep! it's kind of nutty when i think about it, but i definitely many things to be thankful for-- my family, my friends, my health and the fact that you are here reading this! :)

sprinkled on top of my thankfulness are some delightful things i'm currently loving in this moment...


There's Cake in My Future by Kim Gruenenfelder....a fun chick-lit read {be warned, it is a bit rated-r, due to all the f-bombs dropped}, but the story is funny and engaging. i'm about 70% through it and can't wait to see how the story of three friends, their lives and hope for the future will end up!


fresh, roasted red peppers with my egg whites at breakfast {and sometimes lunch and dinner, too, lol!}...

NYX Natural Look Nude on Nude Kit is the perfect little gem for travel and everyday use. every shade is wearable, giving my eyes added day-friendly glam, but i also love that the neutral tones help to enhance the shade of a bright-colored eye liner!


philosophy Falling in Love...i picked this up on a Sephora run when they were out of favorite Unconditional Love {j'adore!}; i figured, "why not try it?"...and now, well... :)

Stella McCartney STELLANUDE Linen Scented Mist

when i received Stella McCartney's new STELLANUDE Linen Scented Mist, i actually thought it was perfume for my skin...

oops!

though i found out moments later (reading the box helps, LOL!), i still was thrilled to have this to add to my fragrance collection. after all, i do like to spray my pillow and sheets with a scent every now and again, and having a feminine and luxurious scent to spray on my lingerie is such a fabulous idea.

this new fragrance (it also comes in eau de toilette form) was developed to translate the delicacy and femininity of Stella's lingerie collection into a scent that would be like the most intimate accessory. notes of moraccan rose, hints of grapefruit and pink pepper as well as vanilla and grey amber blend together so beautifully; the scent is uber-feminine, sexy and striking, yet light. i think it's perfect for evening and works gorgeously for day.

Stella says: "i love the idea of walking through a scented mist in your lingerie. it's quite a cheeky, intimate way to start the day, and it's refreshing not spraying a scent directly on your skin."

in addition to loving the scent, the bottle is fabulous itself, don't you think?

find the Stella McCartney STELLANUDE fragrance collection exclusively at Sephora and sephora.com until december 31, 2009. it will become available at other select department stores beginning january 1, 2010.
