Happy Halloween From My Little Snow White!

My daughter, Kristina!

Wishing you a safe, fun, and Happy Halloween!  My daughter, Kristina, decided to dress up as Snow White for her senior year of high school! As she headed out the door this morning, I snapped a few photos! Doesn't she look too cute? She did her hair and makeup herself and created a bob-like hairstyle by curling, rolling, and tucking her long hair underneath with bobbie pins!

Get Glam with Madam Glam Gel Nail Polish!

Disclosure: I received a sample of Madam Glam Gel Nail Polish for review purposes only. All opinions are 100% my own. Please refer to the Disclosure Policy for more details.

Beautifully polished nails may enhance our appearance and make us feel glamorously spoiled, but sometimes finding the time for a mani can be difficult.  We are busy moms, students, business women, just trying to look our best in the least amount of time possible! 

Well, I'm happy to share an EASY way to keep your nails looking AMAZING! I was lucky enough to have a chance to try MADAM GLAM! Madam Glam is a super easy to use 3-step UV gel nail polish system consisting of a base coat, nail color, and top coat. Each step requires a short curing time: 2 minutes by UV Lamp, 30 sec by LED. Mada1m Glam offers the ideal solution for those seeking a well-groomed manicure without a visit to the salon. It's so fast, easy, long-lasting, and oh so shiny! Just look at the high gloss shine in the pics! (see below) LOVE! 

Suggested application: A few tips before getting started! 1) Use a cutical stick to wipe excess gel from around the nail plate BEFORE curing. Once the nail is cured, it will be difficult to remove from your skin. 2) When the base coat is curing under the lamp, check to see if you missed covering any area of your nails. (Base coat will glow under the light revealing missed spots). If this happens, simply re-apply the base coat over the area missing the base coat and cure.

Suggested application:
1. Prepare nails by pushing back cuticles with a cuticle stick.
2. Gently buff the shine from your nails.
3. Remove dust from nail plate with an alcohol wipe.
4. Apply a thin layer of the UV Base Coat Gel to nail plate
5. Cure 2 minutes by UV Lamp, 30 sec by LED. 
6. Apply a thin coat of Soak-Off Nail Polish. Don't worry if the first coat appears streaky. The second coat will offer better coverage.
7. Cure 2 minutes by UV Lamp, 30 sec by LED.
8. Repeat steps 5-6, if necessary. Some colors may need 2-3 coats.
9. Apply a thin coat of Madam Glam's Top Coat.
10. Cure 2 minutes by UV Lamp, 30 sec by LED,
11. Use an alcohol pad to wipe off tacky residue to reveal a high gloss shine!

That's it! No additional drying time is required! Your nails are ready for anything!  

I used three thin coats to get the results you see in the photos. The soft and feminine color is Madam Glam's Baby Pink #66 and I am extremely pleased with the overall quality and ease of use.  My mani is four days old, there are no signs of wear, and the shine is incredible! It's important to note that Madam Glam claims 3-4 weeks of durability on their site - very impressive! I will be back to update you on the soak-off removal process.

Bring Organic Opulence Indoors!

I am absolutely in love with these stunning Mapleton Drive gem boxes! They are perfect for holding smaller trinkets and treasures and add a touch of elegance to coffee tables and dressing tables. The designer behind Mapleton Drive creates only pieces that she would proudly display in her own home. Family and friends were so enamored with Kelly's accents, they urged her to design a collection, and Mapleton Drive was born. Her uncanny trend-spotting ability combined with her love of all things natural and precious, influence each exquisite item in the ever-evolving Mapleton Drive collection.

I've always been obsessed with agate stones and gemstones, and love incorporating them into my home's decor. Is there an organic item you like to bring indoors and make part of your decor?

Tickle Me Pink!

Have you considered adding blush pink to your wardrobe this fall? Flattering to most skin tones, blush pink is an understated feminine neutral - not as girly as cotton candy pink.

When I first saw the blush pink hue appearing on fashion runways last year, I didn't realize it would become the new neutral color with staying power, easily transitioning from season to season.

Blush works well with with black, white, pewter, camel, chocolate, but for a real fashion pick-me-up, try pairing blush with burgundy!

Well, tickle me pink. Below is an example of how easy it is to incorporate blush accessories into your fall fashion apparel. Below we simply added blush accessories to your basic everyday neutrals consisting of a white sweater and blue jeans.

Odd-Shaped Windows? Custom Interior Blinds Have You Covered!

When building my home, I knew I wanted plenty of natural light and never stopped to think of the need for blinds on weekend mornings when I want to sleep in longer. In my search for blinds, I realized many windows in my home are not standard size. Many homes built in the 70s and 80s also feature odd-shaped windows, as that was a popular home design trend. While an oddly-shaped window can add a lot of charm to your home, it can also prove very challenging when it comes time to choose a window treatment. Odd-shaped windows come in all sizes and shapes as they can be triangular, round, arched or even pencil-like. If you have a few tricky windows in your house and are wondering how you can cover them so that your privacy is maintained while blocking out light, consider taking a look at custom interior blinds.

Meet prAna - Beautiful and Sustainable Fashionl

Disclosure:  I was given a jacket for review purposes only. All opinions expressed herein are 100% my own. Please refer to the Disclosure Policy for more details.

prAna - "Breath, life, vitality of the spirit." These qualities infuse not only our name, but also our aspirations, the things we make and how we make them. Welcome to mindfully designed, built to last products – born from the experience.

Are your clothes a reflection of you and what you value most? prAna feels when you reach into your closet, there should be something there that reflects who you are, how you feel and what you value most.  I had been eyeing prAna's online site for quite awhile now, admiring their clothing and their commitment to providing their customers sustainable apparel. It has always been prAna's mission to provide an earth-friendly label by using organic cotton, natural fibers, and recycled materials to create their clothing line.

Since 1992, when prAna first began, it limiting the size of its footprint by making labels from homemade paper and shipping their apparel in fruit boxes they gathered from a local grocery store. Fast forward to today, and prAna still has the same values with a clear focus on the environment.    

Today I am featuring a jacket from prAna that has far surpassed my expectations! For starters, I am loving the super soft comfiness and warmth of the jacket's sherpa lining. Seriously soft, ladies! The diamond quilted fabric and attention to detail are impeccable!  The jacket is lightweight and perfectly weighted for autumn, spring, and mild winter days. I ordered my Diva Long Jacket in a size extra small, which fits perfectly! The arm length is about an inch longer than my arm, and when cuffed, creates a cute sherpa trim. I like a little extra length in the arms as it allows for some play and unrestricted movement. For sizing purposes, I am typically a size petite 4.

A Day at Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas!

Heading to Las Vegas for a get-a-way weekend with the girls? What? You weren't planning on it? Ooooh...I am! I have to get busy and make reservations right away. Why? Because I recently found out that Bruno Mars is performing at The Chelsea in Vegas! Just the thought of catching a glimpse of Bruno is enough to make me want to start packing my bags! {smile} 

Before I start packing, however, I have to plan what to wear around my activities. Wearing a pair of comfortable shoes is a must for walking the Strip and shopping. I'll also want some bling for nighttime. 

Here's what I've put together for a perfect day at Cosmpolitan of Las Vegas:
