After watching the Golden Globes red carpet event I noticed a trend…. pretty pink lips are a definite must for spring. What do you think about soft pink lips?

We all obsess about our looks, and lately I have been obsessing a bit too much- so last night my friend Brian sent me this picture and said \”remember makeup and Photoshop goes along way\”.
Hospitable Scents
Hospitality is key, and a welcoming scent is all apart of the ambiance, when walking into a home. At my house, we always have at least one candle burning. While, I do love my Slatkin & Co candles from Bath & Body Works I also love Sonoma Life & Style Pillar candles from Kohl\’s. In the living room I usually burn pillar candles, and in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom I will burn candles in jars such as Slatkin & Co. Right now I am thinking spring so here is what I am burning….

Five Things
{confetti sprinkles for a weekend confections}
It has felt like spring all week long here in Michigan. Up until yesterday that is – when the cold weather crept back in, and snow is being predicted for the weekend. I am attempting to savor the feeling of spring as I whip up pastel confections, admire pink flowers and polish my nails in the seasons prettiest hues.

Do you love or hate polka dots? They\’re not just on dalmatians anymore. Spots are showing up on scarves, shoes, handbags, tees and tights. Some rooms in homes are even seeing spots.
