Wednesday On The Web

I am getting back settled in the swing of things after an amazing weekend in Napa. There were so many special moments in a place that is always my favorite to visit. I saw an old friend who I hadn’t seen for almost 10 years. I visited a winery with a special VIP and got to see the importance of family and roots in making wine. I spent time with my dearest friends in their fabulous spot nestled in Napa Valley. And managed to sneak in 30,000 FitBit steps in 48 hours. I call that a win. I didn’t have much downtime, but did have some finds from around the web that you might enjoy:

I can’t wait to try this new-to-me moisturizer from Mario Badescu.

Love Dax and Kristin’s Africa video – I think I’ll join them on their next trip!

My Denver Broncos are practicing at Stanford Stadium in anticipation for Super Bowl 50 – worlds collide – GO BRONCOS!

Love seeing these French phrases in English words. #languagenerd

Some favorite shopping finds from January:

This image is from Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia and has me seriously doing some wanderlust. When I moved to Oklahoma four years ago, I told myself I’d travel and never let my worldliness slip away. While I don’t have any plans to go to Australia right now, I have a short jaunt to California coming up. For me, travel keeps me beating, keeps me curious and keeps me striving. I know not everyone loves the road as much as me, but I do think travel is a true gift. So while I ponder my toiletries packing strategy, some finds from around the web:

Love Hitha’s 5-minute makeup routine!

I feel like I am ready to pull the trigger on round glasses.

One of my favorite winter looks I’ve seen this season.

Happy to say I have implemented three of these four habits – note to self: EAT MORE GREENS!

I am so drawn to this image. At first it strikes me as foreboding, sad but still beautiful. But that slips away into a profound soothing sense. I love blue and grey and I am absolutely a water baby (Cancer and Scorpio Rising). And I deeply miss living by the sea during my days in Northern California. The good news is that I am headed out for a visit soon. Will be wonderful to get out of this dry, Oklahoma winter air.

Keep your eye out for my new favorite skin care from bareMinerals – review on the blog in a couple days. In the meantime some finds from around the web:

This article about four woman and what they spend annually on beauty was fascinating.

I am on a sneakers kick, and inspired by these ideas of how to wear them. Basically, wear them with everything.

So excited about the ‘War And Peace’ Miniseries that premiered this week. I haven’t watched it yet, but can’t wait to savor it this weekend.

Need a laugh? These captions of Hot Presidents of the United States cracked me up.

Hope you guys are having a cozy week. Mine is been full of busy days followed by evenings at home, cuddling with the pups and surfing the web. Some of my favorite finds:

Always working on being better in the kitchen and this helps: 8 Things You Should NEVER Put Down Your Garbage Disposal.

This app is perfect for the times you really need to focus.

Good friends know I don’t get really hot and bothered about music, but I adore this song. And the video is absolutely stunning. Bonus that Taylor Swift is donating proceeds to the African Parks Association of America.

Madewell just launched their Spring collection for pre-order. BTW, it is stunning.

So exciting – one of my favorite brands, Embryolisse, has launched at Target.com.

I live in a small space (not quite this small) so I adored these tips.

I have to say I’ve done a lot of Netflix binging lately. And oops… looks like it isn’t too good for my health. But everything I’ve watched is just so so good! I flew through Making a Murderer which was fantastic and disturbing. Tonight I started The Man in the High Castle and it is fantastic. I am a World War II junkie and this sci-fi series is all about a “what if” Germany and Japan won the war. While I am not generally a sci-fi fan, this has all the historical fiction and intrigue. If you share my interest, check it out on Amazon Prime. And during credits between episodes, here are some finds from around the web:

This post about sentimental jewelry touched me.

Looking for a little (beauty) drama in your life? I especially love this powder as a suggestion.

Still in shopping mode? The best time of year to purchase stuff.

I’m strongly considering re-vamping my bed situation. And this list has a couple things I am drooling over.

Apologies for the blog absence! But I can tell you I had a wonderful holiday. It was full of champagne, seafood, naps and snuggles with the dogs. Can’t get better than that! I’ll be back tomorrow sharing something I am super excited about from one of my favorite brands (rhymes with Mars). Meanwhile, here are some fun finds from around the web:

If I hadn’t snagged new hi-tops over the holiday, I would snap up these awesome sneakers in a hot minute.

Have you tried “strobbing” yet? I’ve been working on a technique and this tutorial was really helpful.
