Simply Brilliant-Toddler Buffet

How clever is this idea? Ice cube trays to create personal toddler buffets. They make perfect pint size portions for our wee ones. Think play dates and birthday parties; fill with a variety of toddler approved snacks and serve. Simply Brilliant.

A New Favorite

Hello bloggy friends! I am hear to share with you today one of my new favorite websites. TheBeautyDepartment.com founded by Lauren Conrad, Kristin Ess and Amy Nadine. The primary focus is beauty products, tutorials and to answer reader questions, but every now and then they'll highlight other fun stuff like this DIY table skirt.

Personally I love the fabulous beauty tutorials about hair and makeup.  They keep them short and simple so as not to overwhelm you and easy to practice at home.

Go see for yourselft it won't dissappoint.

Fall Polish via Pinterest

I am loving Pinterest. Are you? It's so addicting and I am gathering great inspiration for life, fashion and home. One of my favorite items to pin is nail polishes. I love have people are showing the actual color on their nails while holding the bottle of polish. Why don't nail polish manufacturers do this? It's a great way to show the actual color on nails instead of a computer generated image with poor color translation. Branding managers could learn a thing or two from everyday people.

After spotting this beautiful brown fall color Particuliere from Chanel I had to try it. Here it is on my nails and I am in LOVE.
