Beauty Bag: Sarah, White Blossom

I'm flattered to be included in this series among many wonderful bloggers! I'm not going to lie, my beaty bag is basic. When I received Liz's email asking me to participate my first thought was 'oh I should go out and buy some new products!' But then it wouldn't be my beauty bag and I always love to see how people live their lives and what they are like. My make-up routine is very simple. So here it goes...

Vichy foundation - I use this every day except in the summer on the weekends (when I have a tan). I love how it evens out my rosy Scottish skin and fools everyone into thinking I have a peaches and cream complexion.

Benefit Coralista blush - cannot live without it! My grandma taught me and my sisters that we should always wear something on our cheeks and lips. This is an essential item to me. It doesn't have to be this brand or even this colour, but blush is a must! If I don't have any then I'll rub my lip colour on my cheeks.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Water Light daily face sunscreen - a must for everyone!

Kiehl's lip balm #1 - love how it makes me feel.

Kiehls ultra facial cream - it's light and provides the perfect amount of moisture all year round. I love Kiehl's products!

Covergirl Lash Blast Volume mascara & the ever important eye lash curler - These two items are my other essential. I can easily go out of the house without eye liner and foundation but I must have my eye lashes curled and mascara on.

Prescriptives (no longer produced :( ) eye shadow - I use the purple (one colour out of 5 to line my eye with a brush). Purple really brings out my hazel eyes.

That sums it up. I hope it was helpful and thank you Liz for asking me to participate! :) Have a great day everyone!

Thanks to the wonderful Sarah of White Blossom for sharing with us!

New Year's Eve!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and now that we are all back let's talk New Year's shall we? So this year my beau and I are heading to a friend's lavish house party for NYE, but if I were throwing my own party I'd love to have mine look like this:

2010 was a very interesting year...
we uprooted our life in charleston and moved to beaufort, we found out we were having a baby boy, i ate my first fried pickle (and loved every minute of it), i spent 13 wks on bed rest, my daughter turned 3, a best friend survived a near fatal car accident, i had the honor of being published, i turned 31, we made new friends, i gave birth to a healthy baby boy, i joined jazzercise (and i might have dropped out), my husband and i started running again (and then maybe stopped), i expanded my company, we cooked a lot, i grocery shopped at walmart, i accomplished potty training (but not w/out a good, hard fight and maybe some tears), we drove 3,000 miles in a wk w/out the kiddos....but the best part was the time spent w/ my hubbie and two kids that i will never be able to replace.
so what does 2011 have going on???  well, my hubbie has a new job and we are moving to columbia, sc and that's about all i know for sure....but i am excited to see how it all unfolds!!

**to beaufort, our friends, and my parents- thank you from the bottom of my heart for a beautiful town and a very memorable year ;)

wishing you and your loved ones a very merry christmas....
