A Few of My Favorite Things

This post is dedicated to a few of my favorite things I have come across over the past few months! Stuff I love, need and want...because I am a woman...and I am greedy! Let's face it, there is a difference between products you use and products you use that you love and can't live without! These are products that I don't want to live without! (And I always love to hear what everyone else is using and LOVING. So, if you have something please share.)
Two words: Sephora and BeautiControl.
First up---- Sephora......
I really don't need to say anymore...but in the case you don't know what I am talking about, you are missing out. I wandered into the store last Friday and ended up having a great conversation with a young lady who works for Urban Decay. She was visiting Sephora to talk with customers and check up on product displays. She not only gave me some great ideas for their products but pointed me in the direction of a great tinted moisturizer. I was introduced to a line of products I probably would have never paid much attention to...but now adore.

Go online to http://www.sephora.com/ or sprint to a store nearby! (Sephora is also having a huge blowout (75% off) on the Bourjois line of make up)

Laura Mercier - Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer (More coverage than I expected)

Laura Mercier - Lip Stain in "Mulberry" (my new favorite lip color that does not kiss off and feels good)

Laura Mercier - Stick Gloss in "Brown Sugar" (Yummy Color)





Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer (Which I also use on my lips to keep stuff on my lips)














Urban Decay Brow Box in "Beige Betty" (It's a lighter shade than I would have tried on my own, but it actually makes me brows look more natural)











Second up ------ BeautiControl.....
I was introduced to these spa products in July when I hosted a spa party for my sister. If you are interested in learning more go to her website at http://www.beautipage.com/beautiaesthetics/index.asp or e-mail at beautiaesthetics@yahoo.com . (She is offering 25% off all orders through 9/30/08. Tell her Katie sent ya!)


Herbal Serenity Body Scrub (The absolute best body scrub ever... which I also use for shaving)












Show of Hands Instant Manicure (I use this almost every night before bed and its a great hand massage. I would hand this out to everyone for Christmas or birthdays its that good)







Spa Warming Trend Green Tea Masque (Feels great right after I clean my face)

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
