All the shopping, baking and party-going can wreak havoc on our skin, so lets thank Janine at Beautygeeks for giving us these tips on How To Not Look Tired. I've bookmarked this page for some shopping later today....

I've been raving all week over the Holiday 2011 collection from Dolce & Gabbana over on The Beauty Look Book. Could you just DIE? I want it all. That purple! Swooning...

Cold weather & holiday prep wreaks havoc on our delicate hands. The Non Blonde has me wanting the latest lovely hand cream from L'Occitane. I adore the Shea Butter & this one sounds holiday perfect!

Beautiful Beauty Blog Round Up

To my round up ladies- thanks xo

Well its been meltingly hot or had skies that were crackling thunder and lightning storms, depending on where you are. I know a lot of you don't like the extreme heat, but for me, scraping ice of my windshield & washing salt off my boots is still a vivid memory. It gets hot, I've got the roof down an am driving. I am in no rush to get back to fall but admit I do love all the luscious fall collections coming out. We are in the height of summer's beauty and I plan to enjoy this weekend (it's a long one in Canada) probably on a dock with a nice cool glass of Chardonnay. Have a lovely weekend all...
