Adopt a Pet!
Are you thinking about adding a new dog or cat to your family? Please seriously consider adopting a shelter pet instead of buying from a pet store or breeder. My dog Brady (shown here) was rescued from a kill shelter in Tennessee. He is the most handome and well behaved dog in the whole world and he came already house trained! Each year 7 million adoptable dogs and cats are killed due mainly to overpopulation. Do you have your heart set on a specific breed? You are in luck! Up to 25-30% of dogs for adoption in animal shelters are purebred. No matter what you are looking for in a new friend you can find in a shelter animal. The easiest way to find a great pet is to search on http://www.petfinder.com/.

My sister's pregnant! Ever since I found out I have been obsessed with shopping online baby boutiques. I thought I would share some of my favs here:
They have all of the popular brand name products you could ever want.
They have a great selection of natural and organic baby products.
Tons of fun and stylish items for you and your baby.
A beautiful website with classic baby items.
My fav gift this Christmas!
My sister and I already exchanged gifts for Christmas. I always love what she gets me. She knows my taste and always picks out the perfect things. This year she got me a beautiful blue dress from shopenvi.com and a makeup set from Sephora. I can already tell you that the makeup set is going to be my favorite gift this year! It comes with 71 eyeshadow shades, 13 cream eyeshadow shades, 5 blushes, 1 compact powder, 60 lip glosses, 1 lip liner, 1 eyeliner, and some brushes and applicators. It has every color I could ever want. This is a great gift for any makeup lover and for only $48 you can't afford not to buy it! (Think of the cost per color!)
This awesome set is available at http://www.sephora.com

Daily Diet Tips and Tricks!
In the office we are having our own "Biggest Loser" competition. I've put on a few pounds since starting a desk job so I decided to join in. The competition started Monday December 1st and goes until March 2nd. We each put in $20 and winner takes all. So far I have lost 6lbs! Part of my success is due to some amazing tips I have received from the daily email I signed up for at http://www.hungry-girl.com/. I was so excited when I found some amazing recipes for low calorie margaritas and martinis! If you are looking to loose a few with out giving up your favorite foods you should definitely sign up for their newsletter. I promise to keep you updated with my progress through this blog. Wish me luck!

I love this makeup!
For the past few years I have been in love with Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. I use the bareMinerals SPF15 Foundation in Fair and the Warmth All-Over Face Color everyday. It doesn't feel like makeup, has great coverage, and is 100% natual. I also love their Glimmer eyeshadows. They look metallic when applied with a wet brush! My next purchase is going to be this "Be Real" set. It looks like the perfect colors for redheads like me! It's only $34 and I will get 20% off with coupon code "BELUV". Valid through Dec 7th.

I found a cool store/website for natural products
Yesterday while shopping with a friend in Sudbury, MA I ended up in Perfectly Natural, an eco boutique. The store carries an amazing selection of natural products including apparel, pet supplies, home decor, and body products. Owner Peter Totfalusi was extemely helpful and knowledgable. My favorite items were the soy candles, the Ecoist cluthes, and the Citizen Solar Eco-Drive watches.
Check out the website at: http://perfectlynaturalhome.com/ For a limited time everything on the website is 10% off and there is free shipping on orders over $45.

Present for Mom
My mom's birthday was the other day. I had no idea what to get her so I asked for advise from a co-worker. She recommended a Pandora bracelet. She has one and her family gets her beads for special occations. I loved the idea of giving a gift that I could add onto over time. The basic silver bracelet is only $50 and the beads range from $15-$1,100. So the bracelets can be as expensive or reasonable as you want. You can check them out at: http://www.pandora-jewelry.com/
My mom loved it and now I'm set for many birthdays, Mother's Days, and Christmas's to come!

I just can't get enough books
My husband and I both LOVE to read. I love short stories, novels, biographies, business books, and cookbooks while my husband is obsessed with WWII books. If we bought every book new at Barnes and Noble we would soon be broke. Instead we trade books with people all across the US on Paperback Swap. You pay to ship a book to someone and in return get a credit for a book of your choice. There are over 2.5 million books on the site so chances are you will find something you're looking for. If what you want is not there just add it to your wish list and as soon as it's posted it will be reserved for you! According to the website my husband and I have save $1,251 by using this site. If you would like to try it for yourself just click the link below. Have fun! BTW, in case you were wondering about the cookbooks. It's true, I don't cook. I just like to read them :)


My Fav Trend Du Jour
My favorite trend right now is opaque tights in fun colors. It's an easy inexpensive way to make a boring outfit cute. The best colors right now are dark purple, burgundy, and royal blue. Please make sure the rest of your outfit is pretty simple to avoid looking like a clown. You can get these tights almost anywhere but here are some great options:
