New Year's Resolution for 2012

Ok I am not big on making a plan for the New Year but I do have a few things in mind for 2012.

1. Clean out my closet and donate anything not worn over the last twelve months to charity.

2. Organize my kitchen cupboards and donate at least a full bag of food to a local food pantry.

3. I will be more aware of what I eat instead of grabbing the whole bag I will take only 4 or 5 chips.

4. Post more often on my blog and find new ones to follow.

5. Read at least six new books in 2012.

6. Go for a long walk several times each week.

7. Write letters more often to family.

8. Cook up a new recipe every week.

9. Smile even when I might not really want to and cry when I feel like it.

10. Feel no guilt if I do not get it all done.

Give A Little

I think we all need to remember that it does not take that much money or time to do something that really helps someone else.

Give to a cause you like big and small it all adds up to something good.

Box of Gems 20-piece Color Collection

A 20-piece collection of stunning eye and lip shades. Experience the ultimate in luxury with 10 new eye colors and 10 high-shine lip glosses that will drizzle lips in pure color. Tip: For a jewel-toned look, pair Gem and Glow eye colors--and deepen and smoke out even more with the Twinkle shade.





If you are looking for a gift or just shopping for yourself you will love this set. The colors are perfect for just about everyone. I found the lip colors are not as dark on my lips as they look I can wear all of them. The glosses go on smooth with good lasting coverage. The eye colors are lovely gems with the ten colors you can have a new look everyday. I gave a few items from my set to a friend as a little gift and I still have more than enough for myself.
I like every single lip and eye color in this set but I do have a few favorite ones.

Buxom Lip Polishes
Betty, a crimson shade
Gabby, a grape wine shade
Dani, a berry pink

Natural Lip Glosses
Energy Drink, a grapefruit shade
Apple Butter, a berry shade

Eye Colors
Twinkle, a chocolate shade
Glow, a golden tan
Solitaire, a silvertone shade

I highly recommend this collection to anyone looking for eye and/or lip products.

I posted here Get Gorgeous With QVC about a few of the holiday items from QVC. I am so happy to have received the Box of Gems 20-piece Color Collection this would also make a great gift for the New Year.

This collection was a gift from the Vogue Influencer Network. My review is my own opinion of the collection.

Style With Frederic Fekkai

Vogue Fashion Fund Runway Event.

Frédéric Fekkai partnered with celebrity stylist Renato Campora to create this modern twist on the classic ponytail.



Top tip: Apply Fekkai Full Blown Volume™ Styling Whip throughout the hair until the entire head is damp. 2 Blow dry the hair using a large round brush. 3 Once the hair is mostly dry, straighten hair with a flat iron, separating into sections, while applying Frédéric Fekkai Essential Shea Tame and Style Pot de Crème to add shine. 4 Create a deep, exaggerated part to the right side of the head.

The Fekkai site is offering Free Shipping (no minimum purchase) this month and some great gift sets!

As a Vogue Influencer I have a first glimpse of the best in fashion and beauty.
