Stocking Stuffer {lavanila}

Since we have been experiencing some warm weather temperatures these past few days I found this item to be perfect timing. Lavanila has many wonderful smelling products & they are free from many harsh chemicals. I hope Santa drops one of these in my stocking!

83 degrees!

Snapped a quick photo after returning home from running Christmas errands & eating In n Out {my favorite gluten free burger joint}. We sat outside in the sun eating & sweating, it sure felt great. I am in awe of the warm sun, it has been too long since I have felt the UV rays soak my pale skin.

With all this chilly weather we have been experiencing day after day after day…I have been purchasing lots of new socks. I have found cute ones at Anthro, warm ones at Urban & inexpensive ones at Target.  The knee hi’s are great with all my different boots & the ankle style is adorable with all my strappy dressy shoes {even if people talk trash on my outfits… I still like the unique look}.

Discovered {LipSurgence}

While shopping in-store at Sephora {I finally had an opportunity to get over there} I discovered a new to me lip product: LipSurgence by tarte. Not only is it Gluten-Free, it also is free of parabens, mineral oil, petrolatum, phthalates, sodium laurel sulfate & synthetic fragrance {gosh it sure is scary that I can not even pronounce these words but even more scary when I read a label & have no idea what all these chemicals are!}. LipSurgence comes in a variety of shades & also is available in Matte {which is not Gluten-Free according to Sephora}. I absolutely love the amused color! Luckily for us tarte has a 40% off sale going on NOW on their website! So glad I discovered this product & even happier that I was able to purchase a few more on-line with the discount. Hurry on over to their site so you can try one for yourself…

Perfect fit {LOFT}

I found the BEST fitting pants at the LOFT. I have been shopping here for some time now {my mom actually introduced me to the ATL} they always have a collection of petite items which fit amazingly! If you are petite I highly recommend trying on their pants & for the rest of you they have some really great pieces at affordable prices.

A Christmas must {candle}

Have you discovered the sweetly scented candles at Bath & Body? I enjoy so many of their scented candles for the different seasons of the year. Often they offer a special price when you buy multiples at one time so I stock up {with all the gift cards my office gives me!}. My current favorite is the Twisted Peppermint!
