metallic madness

if all athletes are aiming for the gold, silver or bronze this 2012 olympics ~ i have my eyes on these kinds of metals, essie's mirror metallics. i think they are the best polish shades to wear to welcome the fall season transition. it's got a matte metallic finish with just a hint of shimmer. 

you can get them here (click pic) :

housewarming gift ideas

moving to a new home is pretty exciting and exhausting at the same time for new homeowners. trying to ease that transition - a perfect housewarming gift would just be that one thing to bring smiles to their faces!  

here are a few ideas you can put together in no time. and not to mention, relatively inexpensive. practical items in a bucket or basket would be well appreciated. trust me, with stuff still in boxes - you can never find the one thing you need and this bucket full of home essentials like nails, hammer, electrical cord extensions and more are just heaven sent! 

also, you can never go wrong with breakfast in a basket gift. it is perfect for that first morning at the new home. fill it with muffins, bread and jam along with kitchen must-haves such as hand towels or soaps and your friends will be delighted!
