Bedtime Routines

Lately, I've been doing some new things before I hop into bed.
After I've showered, brushed my teeth, wash my face using Clinique, and put on chapstick, I'll rub a little lotion on my hands or spray body mist once on my neck.

I also can't go to bed without having some milk or applejuice.  I like using this Minnie Mouse mug I got for my mom from Disneyland, of course.  It's such a cute mug!  I also need my waterbottle on my nightstand. 

I'm either reading or writing before bed, and I've been listening to Kenny Loggins CD "Return to Pooh Corner."  The songs and music are so sweet and calming.  It makes me happy everytime I listen to it.  -One of my all time favorite albums.

I've also been going to bed between 3 & 5am.  I'm stopping that bad habit after I post this blog.  Like, right now. ;)

Candles!!

I love candles.  They have the best scents, looks and colors.  Even though I don't have a ton of candles, I am very content with what I have.  They're all different, but all amazing and pretty.  

P.S. (the lamp shade, inside is a candle!!)

New Music Love: One Direction

Today, I got One Direction's CD and love it!  I've heard most of their songs already, but now I'm uber happy I physically have their album.  It's great!  It kind of reminds me of the boy bands in the 90s... But with a more modern twist/sound.  It's great!  Which song is your favorite?

Another Haul

Tonight I went on several different errands getting random things I've been needing.  I got 6 white posters (for future YouTube video backgrounds), some mechanical pencils, an unscented Secret deodorant, Neutrogena's Makeup Remover Wipes in Night Calming, Clinique Acne Solutions system kit, Revlon Lip Butter in Peach Parfait, and CoverGirl eyebrow pencils in Honey Brown.  I got really happy when I came home to enjoy my random goodies.

Goodbye to Picnik

I have edited hundreds of photos using picnik.com and it is now closing today.  I really wish it wasn't.  I have really attached myself to this site and know it sooo well.  My favorite seasonal list was Halloween's Vampire list- so fun!!  I've used Picnik for years and have enjoyed it every time- like just now when I edited these three pictures!  Picnik, you will be deeply missed.

                           Love,

                          Blooming blossoms, Cueing bird songs, & Buttering sandwiches.

(PicMonkey- maybe you'll be Picnik's best replacement??)

Lip Product Storage

A couple years ago, I was wondering around Kmart and walked by this storage holder.  I fell in love with it and bought it.  It has a total of 8 compartments.

I store my lipbalms in the bottom drawer, my lipglosses in the 4 outer compartments, and my lipsticks in the 3 middle compartments.  I love how all my lip products can be upright and the colors can be seen easily.  The holder itself was less than $10, and I'm so glad I got it.

How do you store your lip products?
