Do we ever really know somebody? Cecelia finds a letter addressed to her from her husband and dated years earlier. The letter begins with "my dearest Cecelia, if you're reading this I have died." He than confesses to something Cecilia never thought possible. One man's secret can send ripples through the lives of so many people. I couldn't put this book down. The author has a great writing style and it is a very easy read. The ending I didn't see coming. I hope her other books are just as good.

This week I am...
This week I am...
Drinking... Starbucks Iced Green Tea. Summer is here and nothing is better on a hot day than an Iced Green Tea.
Needing... more sleep. Major insomnia going on here. Any tips on how to get past it.
Hoping... That this weekends open house is successful and we are finally able to sell our house. I want to move to the beach so bad.
Wearing... CoverGirl Full Lash Bloom Mascara. I love this mascara. I am a die hard lover of maybellines great lash mascara but this ranks right up there as far as I am concerned. The brush if wonderful and makes your lashes look so full.
Watching... The new season of Orange is the new black. This show never disappoints and always leaves me shocked and begging for more. I also have started watching the show Tyrant. Its a story about a guy, Barry, who's father is a evil dictator in a middle eastern country. Barry decides to go back home with his american wife and kids for his nephews wedding and gets sucked back into all of the craziness in his homeland.
Loving... Decorating my planner. I have succumbed to the planer obsession. .

Beauty Haul
I don't know if I mentioned it but i'm about to move from Colorado to North Carolina. Hello humidity! So I started thinking about what changes I will need to make in my beauty routine. I heard great things about the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel moisturizer. I heard the gel format will work better in the humidity. So I decided to give it a try. First impression is that is it really smooth and smells great. So far I like it but I will let you know if that changes. I also picked up the Chapstick three pack of the seasonal flavors in Mango Sunrise,Watermelon Splash and Aloha Coconut. I love these. Although I must confess I am a Chapstick junkie and am quite possible addicted. Is that even possible? I also am crazy for anything watermelon flavored. Of course I can't pass up a new scandaleyes eye shadow stick. I don't know how I have manged to never get this color but somehow I never picked up Naughty Navy. How cute is that name? Finally Walgreen's was having a last chance sale on some of the Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick. So I picked up Notting Hill Nude and Coral Britannia. These ares some of my favorite lipsticks because they are so affordable and come in great colors. These two colors are definitely beautiful. Let me know in the comments below if you have used any of these products and what you think.

This Week I Am...
This Week I am...
Listening to... #1 to Infinity by Mariah Carey. All of her number one hits and a new song on one CD. I am a huge Mariah fan and was so excited to see this CD in the store.
Wearing... NYX Butter Balm. I have been meaning to try these for so long and I finally bought a few. I love them. They are actually butter soft and the color is great.
Enjoying... the sun and the awesome weather here in Colorado. Although I can do without the tornadoes.
Dreading... packing and cleaning. I'm getting ready to move to Wilmington, North Carolina and can't wait to get everything unpacked and put away. If you have any tips on where to go in Wilmington please share.
Watching... The Island on NBC. I love this show. A group of guys are dropped on a deserted island with no fire or food for a month to see if they survive.

Obsessed
I'm currently obsessing over my new NYX butter lip balm in brownie. I finally decided to give them a try and hate that I waited so long.

This Week I Am
This Week I Am….
Looking forward to…
moving. All of the packing and unpacking
is a real pain. But I know the move to
Wilmington, North Carolina will be worth it.
Reading… Still working on Crossfire by James Patterson. I love this series and it never lets me
down.
Watching… The Island with Bear Gryllis. It’s a reality
show wear the producers drop a dozen or so men on a deserted island with no
food or shelter. They’re told that they will be back to get them in a few
weeks. Chaos and drama starts right
away.
Wearing…
shorts!!! Finally the warm weather is
here.

This Week I Am...
This week I am…
Looking Forward to…
having
a yard sale this weekend. I can’t wait
to get rid of all this clutter from around the house. A lot of what I am selling if the result of a
massive closet clean out. Cleaning out
the closet is a huge task but a necessary one at least once a year.
Planning… My
next vacay!! I love a road trip. I try
to plan one every year. This year my mom
and I are hitting the south. Our first
stop is Houston to see the family and then on the New Orleans. From there we will hit Panama Beach Florida
and then on to North Carolina. After
visiting the family in North Carolina we will head back home to Colorado with a
stop in Memphis to see Graceland. I hope
Graceland is as cheesy as I am expecting.
Reading… I started on the book
Crossfire by James Patterson. It is the
next book in the Alex Cross series. I love
this series and I am close to being caught up.
I highly recommend this series if you love good murder mysteries. I have to say the movies made from these
books have been very disappointing.
Can’t Wait For… The
Entourage movie. I loved the TV show and
am so glad they made a movie with these characters.
Loving… All of
the new makeup I recently purchased.
Avon has lip liners on sale right now so I got four of those. I also purchased from Avon a couple of the
Dew Kiss lip balms and two lipsticks in the colors of mauve ice and totally
twig. The Dew Kiss lip balms are a must
have. Additionally I picked up a couple
of eye shadows. The first one is from
Maybelline in silken taupe and the second one is the cover girl quad shadow in
pure romance.
Watching… Season
finales!! All of my favorite shows are ending for the season. I don’t know how I’ll get through the summer
without The Vampire Diaries, Reign or Scandal.
Grieving… The
loss of the Mindy Project.

Product Spotlight
I am obsessed with this new body wash by Suave in the almond verbena scent. This is definitely a new favorite. The same scent also came in a deodorant. I wish it came in a lotion. It has a light scent that isn't overpowering. I love how creamy and silky it is. Bubbles for days.
