My favorite rose bush has started to bloom.  I noticed this morning when I was making my favorite breakfast smoothie. 

(That's two favorite things before 8AM.)





Let me bring out some more favorites...


At least once a day, I peek into my favorite store, anthropologie (online), to revel in pretty things.  

Today, I put together a little anthro outfit, inspired by this morning's dewy, soft-petaled roses.




Kahiwa Falls Chemise ------------ $58
Cooling Cardigan ------------------- $88
Pave Posts --------------------------- $24

PS: That's an accessorized outfit from anthropologie for well under $200.  mini-victory!

(I had a little trouble with the links for some reason... but I hope the item names help you find these things on the website.)

Now for another favorite...

BOBBI BROWN.  She's the creator of my favorite make up line.  The aim of Bobbi Brown is to allow women to feel amazing about looking natural.  Emphasis is put on skin care and using simple touches and techniques to enhance the natural beauty every woman already possesses. 

Here are three little tools you can use to bring a lovely, rosy glow to your face.



Natural Brow Shaper --------- This is a perfect mix between a brow shaping brush and mascara.  It brushes out and shapes your natural brows - and fixes them in place with a clear solution.  I love the natural brow shaper - it keeps my eyes looking wide-open and bright all day long.

Pot Rouge (for cheeks and lips) ------- Just dab the rouge with your finger and lightly pat it onto cheeks and/or lips.  It's not powder - it's a moist gel - so it leaves your skin looking rosy and dewy at the same time.

Vintamin Enriched Face Base --------- The perfect pre-makeup toner.  It moisturizes, smooths, and smells divine.  I use this after my regular moisturizer and before I put on any makeup.  It wakes up my face and makes my skin look (and feel) super soft.


OK, one more of my favorite things: learning other people's favorite things!  I love coming to understand what's special to friends and family and I love hopping onto blogs and reading about all kinds of things that I've never heard of.  Honestly, most of my favorite things are probably ideas I've adopted from others!

Mmm.
Spring is coming...
Dresses are coming...
Roses are coming...
and many more favorite things, too!
