*After trying multiple mascaras over the past month to see if my obsession with Aveda could be swayed, I found that it could not. I recommend this mascara to every girl out there. It does not come off during the day and it is not waterproof, so when you do want it to come off, it does really easily. That, and it's environmentally-friendly.

*I've read some really good books lately, see my sidebar. Best one yet? I'm going to have to say The Mermaid Chair by the same author who wrote The Secret Life of Bees. This is saying a lot because How to Make an American Quilt was really good but it lacked depth when I wanted more.

*After cancelling netflix earlier this year and resorting to the occasional Redbox, I realized I could start checking out DVDs from the library too (like older ones I can't get through Redbox). They don't have everything, but they have a lot. I'm also checking out CD's now. Very cool.

*Consignment stores of any kind. My two local favorites are Kids Trading Post and Marla Sue's.

*Coupons. Who doesn't like to save money?

  1. hi! glad the oregon trip was fabulous. every once in a great while i fantasize about living there for a bit. i'm jealos you have access to great thrift/consignment stores. i have had so many great finds at cali thrift stores over the years....remember land of awes? i swear my whole high school wardrobe, wool vests, red coat, vintage shoes and all, came from that shop.

  2. Oregon definitely has a cool vibe. There is just something about it. It's so pretty too and less crowded feeling than CA. Yep, those stores are on the rise here. Very popular. No excuses to buy full retail when they're around. I remember the name, but it hasn't come back yet. Was it in burkes junction or missouri flat?

  3. land of awes- cameron park, next to safeway- heavy incense, stuffed racks, silver jewelry in the shroom motif... yeah, very good not to pay full retail, but then i look at emersonmade.com and i remember why it's so hard to stick to that sometimes!
