...a love drop...

As much as I love getting gifts, I love giving them even more. It truly makes my day to know a small surprise or thoughtful gift has made someone’s day. It truly is amazing what an impact the smallest gesture can make on someone. So, in spirit of Valentine’s Day I did a little love drop to twenty-five of my girlfriends, and sent them a small goodie bag filled with sweet treats, fun heart bracelets, festive chapstick and a small note. Valentine’s day isn’t just about showing your significant other love, but also all the other amazing people in your life. The sweet thank you’s and texts I received made this little surprise even more worth it. I hope my experience inspires you to send friends, relatives and anyone else just a little something special. It truly will make their day and yours, I promise!

Here's a few photo's from putting the packages together...

...getting golden globe ready...

To say I have an obsession for beauty products would be an understatement. I love beauty products, am always one to try a new product, and often leave the beauty stores with a bag full of items that weren't on my shopping list. Whenever an awards show is coming up, I love reading up on how the stars are preparing for a night in the limelight. With the golden globes on Sunday, Mikis and I decided to pamper ourselves with some face masks I picked up at my last beauty store excursion. I indulged myself with the Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Mud Masque and Mikis had the Passion Peel Masque. Although both masque's were great and left our skin soft and cleansed, I think my masque won with it's delectable chocolate smell, seriously it tasted almost good enough to eat.

Here's a little video to show how scared Milo was....

Next time your at Ulta I suggest you pick up a mask from the Montagne Jeunesse line and have a at-home spa day.
