Oh yes, I’m shopping for more workout clothes. It’s not as so much an obsession as a way of building confidence (at least that’s what I tell myself), and wearing great pieces just makes me want to get to the gym and show stuff off. If you’re looking for some slightly eclectic pieces, here are my top sources for amazing workout wear:

1. Cool Hemp/Cotton Sweats: These embroidered trousers are a dream. I’m usually not the white-liking type, but I’m willing to give these a try on account that I’ve been staring at them all week long!

2. Organic Cotton Palazzo Pants: Oooh, I love a good pair of wide-legged pants for relaxing and stretching.

3. Doce Vida Buzios Ballet Top: What an awesome top that combines bright colors and black! I’d layer it underneath my super support bras with wide straps that almost look like another top altogether.

4. Golda’s Sophisticated Top: I love Brazilian workout gear, and these tops actually bring something new to the workout world. Say “bye” to your tees and pick up these gorgeous selections with asymmetrical lines.

5. Nike’s Loose-Fit Women’s Workout Shorts: These amazing shorts are a nice compromise when you are hunting for something that’s a little softer and forgiving, but still hard-wearing for intense sessions.

Hope you enjoyed your special day!

Elizabeth Arden’s Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick is the newest ultra-hydrating true-to-color lipstick that is lightweight, yet long lasting. The gorgeous shades above are ones I recently received from the new collection that contain 18 colors overall.

The shades are broken down into reds, corals, pinks, plums and neutral hues. These shades also vary by effect: cream, shimmer and pearl.

Amazingly, these are the same lipsticks just shot at a different angle. When the light hits them on your lips at a different angle, the color appears to change.

I chose to go with Wine Cream (pictured farthest left) a blue based brownish plum cream. The color is intense, really more so than I imagined it would be. Definitely not a in a bad way, just a lot more pigment and depth than I anticipated. Besides how fab the lipstick made my lips feel, it was also a long wear lipstick, which honestly? Surprised me. How often do you sip your drink ony to find that your cup is now wearing your lipstick and not you? Yet that wasn’t the case with Color Intrigue Effects. I’d say it lasted a few hours and also avoided feathering and bleeding.

Love it! $19.50 at elizabetharden.com

I’m just loving the idea of this scent, it really takes me away.  Pacifica makes great candles,  and I’ve been pleasantly surprised with their inexpensive perfumes, as well.  Just read the description:

Vetiver symbolizes grounding strength for those who are stressed or have lost connection with their inner being. It also serves as a symbol of the timeless and eternal nature of existence. Blended with the strength and power of patchouli, and the grounding properties of ginger, this candle is very centering and powerful, yet the fragrance remains sweet and subtle. Vetiver, native to India, is known for its resinous earthy overtones and complimentary notes of violet, wood, roots, and soil. Its name in Indonesia, where it is cultivated today, translates as “fragrant root.”

The orange color of this candle is reminiscent of the saffron robes worn by Buddhist monks and its fragrance will call to mind the incense that permeates the halls of temples throughout Asia.

I might have to buy several - the Blood Orange also calls my name!

Pacifica Tibetan Mountain Temple perfume 1.2 oz - $19

“BIONIC is the first-ever ionic formula mascara. The primary ingredient in BIONIC is a chain molecule with a positive charge. The friction caused by sweeping the mascara brush across lashes causes a negative charge. Since opposites attract, the positively charged formula adheres to the negatively charged lashes for a dramatic effect that lasts all day.” (As described on Smashbox’s product page)

Maybe I am the only one, but that sounds a little fishy to me. Why would I need ions for my eyelashes? Is it going to volumize, define and lengthen my lashes? The description on Smashbox’s site simply says it makes lashes stronger and more voluminous.

I admit, I’m skeptical. Have you tried it?

Gone are the days when Jesse Metcalfe was Miguel Lopez Fitzgerald in the NBC Soaps, PASSIONS and the role of a lifetime, the “gardener” in Desperate Housewives. These days, he’s growing a goatee, wearing black tee underneath a gray blazer and a Christian Audigier knit cap. Looking great Jesse :).

This might be slightly off topic, but not much. This year, Mother’s Day will be rather predictable. This isn’t a complaint. I love receiving things for my garden, and many times there are times I ask for them. The things I really want for mother’s day I’ve asked for or hinted for but don’t really get. That’s because in my husband’s eye they’re either frivolous (he’s not much into the impractical) or just not his idea of a gift. If I had my druthers, here’s how Mother’s Day would go.

1. Sleep late without anyone waking me every five minutes to ask me where something is or how late I plan on sleeping.
2. Have a nice breakfast without anyone leaving the dishes for me. (”But I cooked and let you sleep late…”)
3. Not having to go to my Mother in Law’s house. (I’m actually putting my foot down on that one this year )
4. A mani/pedi - This falls under the impractical category.
5. A gift certificate for something I don’t need.

I love my family, so please don’t get me wrong. For the past 9 years we’ve spent all our efforts saving either to buy a house, have a family or renovate. It wouldn’t kill anyone to splurge on something unnecessary for a day.

I am somewhat treating myself though. I decided this year wouldn’t be about my Mother in Law and told my family I’m staying home to have a Mom’s Day by myself. And yes a pedicure and chick flick will be involved.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms! I hope your doing what you want…and maybe even something impractical.
