Friday Musings

Thank you so much for all your recommendations last week. I picked up a sample of the Bobbi Brown eye cream that most of all ya'll recommended and so far I am loving it. I am also considering their eye gel. The make-up artist at the counter told me it was great for de-puffing eyes as it is made with pure cucumber.



I just started reading Sarah's Key and so far I love it. Ya'll gave me so many great book recommendations I can't wait to read them all.




You might remember a few weeks ago I blogged about a blouse I tried on at Marshalls in Charlotte and wish I bought. Well when I was home my mom and I actually found it again. What are the odds?? She is proudly hanging in my closet now! If you live in Charlotte you should definitely check out the Msrshalls at Cotswold they had some great clothes!




While I was home my mom and I tried a new restaurant called Luna's Living Kitchen, it is located in Atherton Mills. It is a vegan restaurant but it was amazing! We spilt a veggie burger and a wrap. They were both wrapped in collard green leaves instead of using bread and they both were so good. Their homemade hummus trio was also delish. You must try this place if you live in Charlotte.




I am so ready for Fall, especially Fall temperatures! These boots are top on my list of fall items I want to add to my wardrobe. I love them, the price tag not so much but maybe they will go on sale.



I am thinking about making this Taco Pizza or Mexican Lasagna this weekend. Has anyone made either? They both look so good, but I dolove me some Mexican food.




I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Finally, my work computer will let me comment on your blog!

Those TB boots are at the top of my list, too. They are perfect! I just can't bring myself to shelling out the full price amount, so I too will wait.

I love BB eye cream, but am currently using Clinique's "All About Eyes Rich" and love it.

Have a great Friday! XO

I really like the BB eye cream as well. I'm also a fan of Obagi's eye cream, but the price tag is a bit steeper. Love, love, love those TB boots (hope they go on sale too!). Have a great weekend!

Sarah's Key is an amazing story. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. So disturbing, but so good.
