The throes of addiction

First step : admitting you have a problem.  So with that, I confess unto you that I went and did something bad...

I kept it a secret, despite wanting to scream from the top of a mountain; I caved and bought La Mer.  And with good reason for keeping it a secret.  I know the judgement that would entail from friends and [mostly] family.  But after a year-and-a-half long relationship with the Nordstrom product page (and two blog posts dedicated to the subject), I had to.  The tipping point was when my best friend was visiting from out of town and after a barrage of questions about her glowy complexion - she confessed she was using La Mer! I KNEW IT.

They always say 'one drink leads to another'...

I was frequenting my favorite make-up counter this past weekend to buy some much-needed eyeshadow.  As a 'thank you' for spending a small fortune on much more than just eyeshadow I received a sample of Yves St. Laurent face serum called Temps Majeur.  And that, my friends, is how they get you.  You'd have thought I learned my lesson the last time.

I'm hooked.  This stuff is even more magical.  My pores are magically smaller; my skin feels like silk.  Problem is, the end of the sample tube left me jonesing for more.  And at $225 a pop, I'm gonna be sweatin' it for a while.

Top of the Mornin'

Good Monday morning, ladies!  I hope you all had a nice weekend.  We had another busy one filled with wonderful friends and family and lots of yard work. 


I've got a question for you this morning - do you have a favorite facial moisturizer that you use?  


I'm just about at the bottom of my cream-of-the-moment and need to restock but am not sure what to get next.  Believe me, I've tried just about everything in the mid to moderate price range, hoping and praying the next face cream will save my life, but nothing's wowed me enough to stick with it.  (Remember this post about La Mer?  If only I could afford their $150/jar genius, they'd make a loyal customer out of me!)  Anyways, I'm all ears for your suggestions and favorite creams.

[this is what's in my bathroom currently]

Have a great week!
