My Favorite Blogs

Happy Monday!  I am loving that the weather is getting cooler and Fall is in full swing.  I spent the last week with family in town getting ready for B's 1st Birthday. I can't believe how fast the first year has gone!  Here is a pic from his 1st Birthday Costume party :)

Even though I am not good at posting often I am very good at reading other blogs!  I separate my blog reading into three categories: Interior Design Blogs, Christian Blogs, and Food Blogs so I thought it would be fun to post some of my favorites for yall.

Interior Design Blogs:

http://www.bungalowblueinteriors.com/ : She is my absolute favorite and her style is very similar to mine!
http://www.patinagreen.typepad.com/ : This is a local shop in Mckinney that is also an organic farm to table lunch shop that is too cute!
http://brookegiannetti.typepad.com/ : Velvet & Linen is the name of the blog and is also super cute, I wish I could buy so much stuff.
http://blog.houseoffifty.com/p/diy.html : This used to be called Isabella and Max Rooms and I think just changed names but she always posts great DIY stuff.
Lonnymag.com :  This isn't really a blog but my obsession online mag for interior design. Do you remember the magazine  Domino that is no more? This is by some of the same people who did that but in a better electronic format! They also have a blog in addition to the mag called http://blog.lonnymag.com/

Finding the Perfect Moisturizer

Every since my skin has cleared up after being on Juice Plus I have been on the hunt for a skin regime that will focus more on my face beyond acne and really making my skin smooth and looking healthy.  I was told about La Mer from a friend who swears by it and got some samples at Neimans before knowing how much it costs (bad idea)!  I have ended up loving it but can't bring myself to justify the price of it yet, soo ... I have been on the hunt for a cheaper option. 

After much research I have decided to try OLAY Regenerist Cream, No 7 Beauty Serum, and Dr. Hauschka Quince Day Cream.  I went out today and bought all three of them to try.  I am liking that Dr. Hauschka is all natural and the reviews all seem to be good. Olay gets good reviews but I have read several that say it makes some people breakout, and No 7 from what I have seen also gets all good reviews as a serum to put on in the morning before your moisturizer.  Right now my plan is to use the Olay at night and the No 7 serum and Dr. Hauschka in the morning.

I would LOVE to hear what yall use and what products you LOVE!! 

[Neiman Marcus + Target] = Perfect Holiday Combo

So I am probably the worst blogger on the planet since I haven't posted in forever! I have come out of mommy world and promise to post more often!

When I saw this video on the Neimans website I had to share! I have to admit I am a sucker for all the Target collaborations and some items I have bought I have loved (my Missoni towels and Privet items) and some I have not loved as much but Target is doing a big collaboration with Neiman Marcus, 24 top designers and the CFDA just in time for the Holidays.  It will be available at Neimans and Target (for the same prices) on December 1st and I can't wait to see all the stuff! There is something so exciting about getting affordable items from designers that are usually way out of your price range.

Happy Shopping!
