HauteLook

HauteLook is a really cool shopping forum that gives members access to INCREDIBLE savings from 8 or so 'top of the line' merchants for 2 or 3 days at a time.  Most of these e-shops are high-end but with the savings offered here you can actually afford most of the items offered.  I have purchased from them several times and have not ever been disappointed or felt like I was mislead.  Things go fast so check every day.  The site offers cash for referrals so enter here and fill in your name and email to start saving!  Then you can refer as many friends as you wish and earn cash for yourself!  It's a genius little system.  Happy shopping!

Road Trip!

I am heading down south today for a weekend with the girlfriends!  It has been bitter cold here in Northern Utah and I am looking very forward to some warmer weather.  Forecasters predict 60 degrees.  Nice!

I have been to St. George many, many times.  A couple of years ago my little family spent several glorious days at the Green Valley Spa and Resort. Our favorite part?  We absolutely loved the beds! I know - sounds weird to be obsessed by the linens but we all could have stayed in them for the entire trip. Thick, down pillow top mattresses covered with high thread count crisp white sheets - pulled tight. . . topped with layers of marshmallowy goodness - thick, fluffy, pillowy duvets and a plethera of down pillows - 7 or 8 on each bed! It was heavenly I tell ya. Absolutely divine. 





This time I, along with 3 of my besties will be staying at my dear friend's condominium, which just happens to be an affiliate of the Green Valley Spa and Resort.  I can't wait!  I need some talk therapy and a break from my daily routine.  How great that we can drive for a few hours and get such diversity in scenery and climate. I love Utah. I can't wait for Spring in our little corner of it.

WELCOME!

Almost everyday, I see or find something I want to share with someone. That's why I'm often saying something to the effect of, "Hey! Look what I found...". As I gather ideas and inspiration from everything around me, some of these things actually turn into projects: invitations, party favors, decorations, gifts, things for my friends, things for weddings, things for my house, things to eat, etc. But truthfully, most of them go in my files. And, yes, I actually am the kind of person who goes back and looks at them. In my perfect world, I would have ample time to create (or attempt) every fabulous project, as well as endless resources to purchase all of the beautiful, unique, and sometimes quirky things I come across. But until then, I would love to be able to share this obsession I have of looking for the next incredible find. So, come back often--it will be an insight into my thoughts (which I always find entertaining, at the very least) and an adventure in creative possibilities.
