This AM, I finished two products during my shower. Is there any better feeling than polishing off a product and recycling the empty bottle? I think not. As a blogger, I tend to have way too many products. But lately, I am trying to pare down and I think this has brought about an even greater satisfaction with finishing up a formula. An excuse to tear into a new product and start planning for another review! So… just me? Or do you guys love this feeling too?
Some finds from around the web this week:
Love Grace’s thorough round-up of her holy grail beauty products.
This “Which-nancy-meyers-kitchen-are-you” quiz is hilarious – I got the Nor-Cal kitchen full of wine. Not shocked … AT ALL.
Love this round-up of facial mists – I adore their “Classic” pick.

Wish I had more to report this week, but been focused on health and work (see below on making my apartment a haven). Been stocking up on candles, fresh juice and my new favorite iced coffee – all make for cozy evenings and smooth-sailing morning routines. Hope you have had a great week and some finds from the web for you to enjoy:
Love these facial massage tips!
Such a sweet little dress for fall.
I feel like making my home a haven is my latest project.
Can’t wait to get my hands on these bold, gel lipsticks.
Some favorite products from around the web from September:
I am having that sort of hibernation inclination that can only seem to happen as the weather turns colder. Too bad the actual weather didn’t get the memo (it is in the high 80s here this week). Either way, I am in super nesting mode. I made chili, chicken and soup last night. I’ve also started on a breakfast smoothie kick with Coconut Milk, protein powder and bananas. Amazing how a weekend in California can inspire the inner foodie. Between cooking breaks, I found some things from around the web:
7 simple things to do for a healthful, youthful body.
I unearthed this column from The New York Times. I wish there were new episodes coming – I’m totally savoring the archives.
These affordable loafers look perfect for travel.
This beauty interview is a sweet insight into how women get to know and love themselves (and it also makes me want to go on a beauty shopping spree).
Loving the fall arrivals at Shopbop, especially everything Vince. I have my eye on this beauty.

Today we are doing a little celebrating here at Belle Belle. That’s because this little corner of the web begun exactly five years ago. That’s right – Belle Belle is turning five! While much has changed around here, I still find sitting down in front of my computer in the evenings to be a little creative a true highlight of life. Looking forward to many more years with you guys.
