These are a few of my favorite things...

Seems like lots of you have done posts about things you swear by. I haven't gotten in on the fun, so I thought today might be a good day to do that.

In my makeup bag, I love:
I have tried lots of different foundations, some expensive, and this is the latest thing I have been using. I LOVE it. It's Maybelline Mineral Power. I dislike anything that is too heavy, and this is so light, yet it covers really well. And the extra bonus is it's minerals. I love it and I feel like my skin looks so much better since using it. Before this I used foundation by Tarte, which I liked, but not as much as this...and it's half the price...can't really beat that!

And this moisturizer is by far, my favorite and an old standby. I always use the one for sensitive skin. I love it and also the fact it contains SPF. (Also, I have found that the Equate brand from Wal-Mart works just as well for a fraction of the cost).

My old standby in the shower is this:

Loofahs gross me out, so I quit with the shower/gel loofah thing a while back and have been religiously using Dove soap.
And, if any of you out there have hard to tame hair, I have the product for you. This beauty:


Nexxus Sleek Memory works WONDERS. I have naturally wavy hair. Not the pretty wavy you see on the stars these days. Nope, wavy that is a NIGHTMARE. I use this product on my damp hair and then I spritz it on my dry hair as I am straightening it. It really does what it says it will do. It remembers the straight style and it takes less and less effort to straighten your hair the more you use it.

Okay, besides products, I have one clothing item to mention that I cannot live without.
Jack Rogers:


These are my spring and summer wardrobe staple. My favorite pair are my platinums, shown above because they go with literally everything. You can wear gold or silver jewelry with them, too. They're wonderful! I also have camel, lime green, and black, and I'm deciding which color I want to get this summer. I can't live without my Jacks!!
Ok, that's all for now...If you haven't already told us, what do you swear by?

    I completely agree with you on the Maybelline mineral foundation! I love it! I was an avid Mac/Clinque user, but after I tried this I'm hooked!

    Thanks for the sweet well wishes! Much appreciated :)

    I have unruly wavy hair too, and I have yet to find a product that I like. I will have to give the Nexxus Sleek a try. I love the idea of my hair learning to look better:)

    I love my John Frieda 'Brillan Brunette' shamp and conditioner. My hair is super shiny and soft. I never thought my hair could be this soft. I also love my strawberry chapstick. I know that is a pretty common thing, but I can not live, LIVE, without it. Last but not least the love of my life, my orange Kenneth Cole hobo bag. Yep, I am so rolling with the K-Cole!!
