Past – Present – Future: Join the ride!

Some of my favorites are:

Dermalogica brand products- duh, see my review!

Diapers.com- after work, running errands is the absolute LAST thing i want to be doing. You can find ANYTHING child related on this website. With free 2 day delivery, your goods are at the door before you know it. They also have affiliate sites called YoYo.com (toys), Casa.com (home goods), wag.com (pets), beautybar.com (self explanatory) and soap.com (everyday essentials) where you can find anything else under the sun. My deliveryman literally knows my entire family by first name, AND has a crush on my mother in law – he visits us that much.

Rainbow Flip Flops- I guess it’s the California Girl in me (que Beach Boys song now), but I wear these year round. Maintaining an average temp of between 50-70 degrees, SF doesn’t exactly have ideal flip flop weather - but I can’t help it. It’s like they mold to your feet! Extremely comfortable. I own them in the thin strapped, black and tan colors, and pretty much wear them till they stink or fall apart- which ever comes first.

Analon Advanced Cookware - no secret, I love to cook, but these amazing pots and pans could make ANY home cook feel like a chef! Extremely durable as well. Received a 9 piece set, similar to Anolon Advanced Cookware Set, 11 Piece Hard Anodized Nonstick, for my birthday 4 years ago and they’re still in great condition. Really helped me step up my game in the kitchen.

Target- what is it about this place?!?! Can’t get out of there without spending at least $100. And when did Target clothes become so cute?!? I remember when I was embarrassed by the mere thought of buying an outfit at target, but now I proudly boast my finds to the public! It’s gotten so bad, I have to send Jim with the shopping list! AND he even finds things to splurge on!! Dangerous to any bank account.
