Jennifer Aniston can't get enough of~Dior's Ultra-Gloss Reflect in Beige Velvet ($24.50), a soft, pinky beige
The Truth About Beauty - Lively new five-part series that gets under the skin of the beauty industry, presented by Martine McCutcheon (who was in the movie Love Actually)
Collection is named Crescent Row and it includes: • Laugh with me Lee Lee • Something about Sofia • My place or yours Gina
My pick was Gina....woody notes such as: pink pepper, bergamot, tangerine, peony, raspberry, lily, Tonka, vanilla and patchouli....love this.
The only downside- The scent doesn't last all day- like some of my other perfumes. Does anyone have any hints to make perfume last longer??? Other than applying unscented lotion before perfume.
Take a look at the chalkboard projects I did this week~
* The 1st project was using APOTHECARY JAR, 9-10 bars Dove soaps and some black chalkboard paint. (Bonus my guest bathroom smells like soap-which is nice ) Total cost $10 jar from Marshalls - a few bars of Dove soap
* 2nd Project- I thought about in shower- I know weird place to think of craft ideas. When I'm in the shower I think of my to do list or what I'm out of like toothpaste etc.. Now all I have to do is write down on my new chalkboard door-Brilliant huh-Plus, I can leave my husband notes. What do you think?
Total cost $12 (paint,tape,brush)
Found this stat online:The survey revealed that 64 percent of women think about their to-do lists in the shower, compared with 48 percent of men.
This what I really wanted to order this RoCoco Chalkboard Removable Wall Decal but there was noway I was shelling out $40, so I thought why not paint the door instead.

I have never been a big fan of Paris Hilton. I do however feel bad for her in a way. I wish MTV did a documentary on Nicole Richie instead of Paris. I think she done a 180 degree turn on her life-I applaud Nicole for changing her lifestyle and creating such a beautiful family and life for herself! She is F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S in my book! Nicole also has a new jewelry collection called House of Harlow 1960 named after her baby girl Harlow Winter Kate. Click here
Tonight on MTV documentary on Paris Hilton- I'll watch it just to see what all the buzz is about. Maybe Nicole will make a guest appearance. Tuesday July 28th @ 8:30 PM. MTV (premiered at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival. ) Here a trailer tonight documentary

Don't Quit by Jill Wolf
Don't quit when the tide is lowest,
For it's just about to turn;
Don't Quit over doubts and questions,
For there's something you may learn.
Don't quit when the night is darkest,
For it's just a while 'til dawn;
Don't quit when you've run the farthest,
For the race is almost won.
Don't quit when the hill is steepest,
For your goal is almost near;
Don't quit, for you're not a failure
Until you fail to try.

How to estimate your daily RMR
Click here to find out your metabolism Metabolism Calculator Why you need to KNOW YOUR RMR
When you cut calories to BELOW your RMR, your body fights back. Restricting calories below your RMR is like asking your car's engine to run on too little gas. If your car is sitting in the driveway with the engine on, it is burning gas as it sits there. If you put the car in drive and step on the gas, it burns gas at a faster rate. What happens if you choke off the supply of gas to your engine? It sputters and eventually stalls. The same is true for your metabolism.
