Happy St. Patty's Day!

{have a great St. Patrick's Day, don't forget to wear green!}

{Scarf Style}

I love that scarves are still going strong. I hope they never go out of style. Its getting to be that time of year when layering is a must. I love that you can dress up a simple t shirt and jeans with a bright scarf. Here are some celebs sporting their scarves around town. I know up until about a year ago I only knew how to wear a scarf one way, for a step by step guide of how to wear your scarves several stylish ways, go here. {Kristin Cavallari in LA}{Rachel Bilson, she is so cute}

Spring Cleaning & My Favorites

I know it is not officially Spring yet, but my plan this weekend is to do some major Spring Cleaning. The hubs is out of town ALL weekend and I do my best and most thorough cleaning without anyone in my way. I am doing it all: under the beds, reorganizing, dusting, you name it. I actually don't despise cleaning, I love doing laundry {I know, weird}. But, when you look around and there is dust on every surface it gets a little overwhelming. Also, me staying home and cleaning = me not going out and spending money, always a good thing.

Since I am a product junkie, I thought I would do a post on my favorite cleaning items. {can we say, nerd?} So, here we go...

I love all of The Mrs Myers products. I get them either at Target or the natural foods store. I would love if all of my cleaning products were all natural like these. I use the counter top spray in the Basil scent.

OK, these things I swear by, I don't know what the heck is in them but they work and I don't ask questions. These magic erasers and seriously, magic. If you can't get something off or out of something, you have to try these. I use them in my tiled shower, bathtub, cabinets, floors. The best thing out there.





When I first got granite counters, I looked everywhere and asked everyone what the trick was to keeping them shiny. I have practically black granite and it is unbelievably hard to keep clean. Someone finally turned me on to Method's Daily Granite. I use it with their micro fiber towel, and my counters gleam!

Now, onto floors and dusting. This is another Method product called Wood for Good. My hardwood floors are the bane of my existence. This stuff keeps them looking nice and it smells like almonds, so good!

I am going a little old school on this, but my Mom told me about it and it is awesome. I use this to polish our darker wood furniture and even our front door. It makes the wood look so rich.

Love, love,love these Swiffer dusters, got one as a free sample and have bought them ever since. It picks up dust like nones business.

Now onto my favorite, laundry. I go back and forth between Tide and Seventh Gen, but for dedicates and whites, Victorias's Secret delicate wash is so great. It is a little pricey {$16 - i think} but it smells SO insane, and the scent stays with your towels forever. I use it sparingly.

My sister in law gave me a coupon for this Ultimate Care Clorox a few years ago, and I am still buying it. I love that it doesn't smell as harsh as bleach, it actually smells great {can you tell I am a smell oriented person?} and, it doesn't ruin fabric like bleach does. Meaning no accidents.

{2010 Oscar Fashion Favorites}

I really enjoyed this years Oscars. It was very entertaining, the hosts were hilarious, and the stars were beautiful. A very classy 3 1/2 hours! I loved Sandra Bullock's acceptance speech, and although I was rooting for Jeremy Renner for best actor, I am glad Jeff Bridges won, I think I have a strange sort of crush on him?! Anyway, I was impressed with the fashion for the most part, there could have been some more color, but overall very nice. I won't even talk or post anything about the guys, I mean how do you mess up a designer 3 piece suit? (unless you're Robert Downey Jr., but he gets a pass). They all looked great to me. Here are my favorites of the night, all good, no bad! We will have to see if Joan Rivers agrees with me... {sandra bullock looking AMAZING in Marchesa}

YUM!

My sister and her boyfriend came over on Saturday night to watch SNL(our favorite comedian was hosting- Zach Galafianakis, so funny!) I was feeling a little Giada like and made my favorite cupcakes. White cake with butter cream, SOO delicious!! I will be on that elliptical tonight! I think they turned out pretty cute?!?

Alice in Wonderland

I was a little concerned when I found out that Tim Burton was directing the new Alice in Wonderland, he's a little eccentric. I'm not the biggest fan, although, I LOVED Big Fish. But when I saw that Johnny Depp was going to be the crazy Mad Hatter and Anne Hathaway{love!} was the White Queen, things started looking up! I am really excited to see this movie! It comes out today and I'm sure it won't dissapoint. So, I put together some Alice inspired clothes, jewelry and cosmetics. There is so much out there!

Oscar Time!

The Oscars are this Sunday and I cannot wait to see the fashion, the stars, and hear the speeches. I love this picture of Audrey Hepburn, she had just won for Roman Holiday in 1954. So gorgeous! I am really excited that I have seen almost every movie nominated for Best Picture this year. That never happens. I will be on the couch Sunday night with my reluctant husband watching all of the glitz and glamour!
