during the Manchester United + Chelsea game.
not sure which was more entertaining...the game or him?! 

Super Bowl Sunday ya'll!
had to show the Redskin love for 2 reasons;
1. we beat the super bowl champs. twice.
2. that was the best part of our entire season. fail - hail!

good thing we're entertaining because that game was a snoozer.
not even one good commercial!ok maybe one...

LOVE 

1. Burt's Bees- is the bees knees. it's the king of all chapsticks in my personal [chapped-lip] opinion. makes your dry winter lips soft, moisturized, and smell/taste like honey. win-win! 2. I found a new moisturizer!! for someone who has ridiculously sensitive skin, you have no idea [you might] how exciting this is! it's organic, rich, moderately priced, annnd leaves your skin totally quenched and refreshed! 3. another skin-care find-->this Neutrogena face wash is fabulous. with grapefruit extracts it gently scrubs your face without being too harsh. once again- tried + tested + approved by this sensitive-skinned-lady :)

J-Crew colors + prints. so pretty. 

dark-chocolate m&m's. heaven that doesn't melt in your hand.

and of course this furry face. 

oh to know the thoughts going on behind those judging eyes. 

come back tomorrow for a quick, delicious, and light recipe!
