Heads up, beauty buds… the best time of the year is upon us. Ulta’s 21 Days of Beauty started last weekend. As a reminder, it offers sales, tips, deals and my favorite – amazing kits from of my beloved brands. Above, I have made some discoveries from Urban Decay, Tarte, Benefit and bareMinerals. I’ll be sharing more of my favorites over the next two weeks, but meanwhile, check in and see the daily specials.

With the finale of The Bachelor on Monday and my political junkie eyes glued to the TV last night for the results of Super Tuesday 2.0, I haven’t had time to get anything up here this week! I’ll be back later in the week with some more skin care goodness. In the meantime, some finds from around the web:
In true “fly-over state” fashion, I am behind on the trends. Next time I am out, I’ll order one of my favorites from Italy: The Negroni.
I am going to work on embracing these tips for boosting a sluggish metabolism.
I ordered this face cream and it really is helping with my redness. You can’t but help love the quirky, retro packaging.
While I am not a parent, I found these Global Parenting Habits fascinating.
A particularly fabulous installment of one of my favorite columns.

What a rainy week to start off March! Not complaining since we need the moisture with all the wildfires here. And I love a cozy, rainy day. But man… just makes me want to take a nap, curled up with my pups. All around it has been a cozy week here – I finally watched the Downton Abbey season finale and it was superb. Well written, happy but not cheesy, completion to story lines while letting those incredibly well developed characters live on in our imagination. That along with Peyton Manning’s farewell speech on Monday, there have been some poignant end of chapters this week! Some finds from around the web:
Really tempted to stock up on some of these Moon Juice goodies.
Quirky packaging, awesome products.
I have been lusting for peep-toe booties and wish I had ordered these when my size was in stock. 🙁

I’m newly hooked on Parachute – got the bedding about a month ago – and already can’t wait to order their new bath collection. I ordered the percale set in Ash which matches my headboard perfectly. I seriously have slept better the last couple weeks than I have in years. The bath collection launched this week and I already can tell – the bath sheets have my name on them!
Some other finds I love from around the web:
I agree wholeheartedly with these essential brushes.
I’m far from a perfectionist, but this article makes my heart go pitter-patter.

I read yesterday that spring is only 25 days away. What? I know most of you are reveling in the arrival of warmer weather. But I feel cheated. Last weekend is was 85 here in Tulsa. This coming weekend it is supposed to be 75. Not only am I not ready for those warm temps (my A/C went out last weekend – grrrrr), but as an allergy sufferer, I know that things might get really bad since we didn’t have a proper freeze here this year (double grrrr). Hopefully one more cold snap before flowers bloom. But in the case that doesn’t happen, I will be working to emulate this awesome in-between-season outfit above.
Some finds from around the web:
Who knew my favorite new sneaker designer also makes my dream biker jacket?

Wednesday snuck up on me with this short week! So today, a short list of my favorite things from around the web:
Loved Emily’s post about where she spends and saves on beauty. Agreed on almost every front, although I admit to being on a gel manicure kick the last couple of months.
Looking forward to trying out this since I am not so great about getting my greens.
Loving everything Zero + Maria Cornejo.
