Ahhh when this showed up in my inbox I was wide eyed! I am such a sucker for these Too Faced themed value kits. Ohh and the little accompanying tutorial cards are just too cute! I love this one to bits! The "No makeup makeup" kit which is a part of the Spring 2013 Boudoir Beauty collection.
Read a little more about it from TooFaced.com...

Our new multitasking face palette is your answer to creating the illusion of flawlessness. The collection is dedicated to complexion perfection, for a flawless, “I was born perfect” look any time of the day. The kit has everything you need to create a complete look so it’s great for traveling (or sleepovers.)
More To Love:
A complete palette of six products to create the perfect No Makeup Makeup look:
Shimmer Veil
Crème Blush
Powder Blush
Concealer
Luminizer
Brightener
Includes our signature how-to Glamour Guide with three looks to get you started.
I'm a boot girl and a platform shoe girl and a combination of both girl. But my day to day running around, working in the studio, or hanging out shoezies of choice are good ol' chucks. And I would love love love some grey ones! These polka dot cuties will add some fun to any outfit!
and this pair in light grey totally works for me as well...
And while I'm at it...the same goes for this charcoal gray pair! I honestly wouldn't mind owning all three pair! Of course it won't happen...and of course I'm dashing my hopes within a sentence of even mentioning them. My middle name is frugal. Yes, I know you already know. ;)
I LOVE these lanterns! Such a great look! And they are an easy to DIY! I'd love to make some for the living room!
Made from decorative aluminum sheets that you can find in the building materials aisle of Home Depot. For years me and Aaron have been constructing pretty things out of less than pretty materials and these look right up our alley. These require metal snips, wire, some cylinder shapes...like soup cans...and some spray paint to finish them with. Just add candles!
Homemade Moon Pies!!! Ahh! yeah...enough said.
Yep...black and cream stripes. Old habits die hard. I love this bag. I may have blogged a very similar one a while ago that I found on etsy. You can always find a bag like this on my wish list. It's totally a signature Jenny bag. Oh man, I would use the heck out of it.
So guys...I really just want you to know that I am so happy to be feeling a bit more normal. And I am so excited about what we have to look forward to over the coming months. I don't mean to sound like a broken record...but gosh, coming off of Stupidstorm Sandy and such a couple of life altering months makes me really appreciate any bits of sunshine or hints of promise. The little things are magnified. And I know I'm just overly emotional from everything but really really...thanks for being here! And thanks for your comments and for being a part of all this stuff we have here in blogland.
Have a fabulous weekend my friends!

How to Stick to Your Weight- Loss Resolution

It’s the beginning of a new year which means many people have committed to “going on a diet” and “exercising more.” If history repeats itself, most likely many of these people will have given up two weeks from now. If you want to be successful at losing weight this year, follow my 5 simple tips:
1. Be specific-Instead of setting a “weight” goal, make one or two goals that you can easily check off when completed each week. Examples: Have my heart pumping hard (i.e.: moderate-intense cardio) for at least 30 minutes at least 5x/week; Do not eat after 8pm; Do not drink alcohol Mon-Fri
2. Be realistic-If your goal is to weigh 140 pounds, and you have never been or stayed at that weight comfortably for more than a year, it is probably unrealistic. If you set a goal to get to the gym 6x/wk, that is probably unrealistic. Things come up that you can't "get to the gym", so find exercises that you can do outside of the gym setting like running, biking, Exercise TV, exercise DVDs, etc. Set realistic weight goals, and plan for unforeseen circumstances (e.g.: blizzard) so that you can adapt to barriers to your usual routine.
3. Be positive-If you slip up one day, don’t beat yourself up. One day of having an extra cookie or one day of skipped exercise won’t derail your weight loss efforts. Get back on track the next day and stay positive!
4. Do things you enjoy- Make sure your healthy new diet is full of foods you like and that your exercise regime is things that you ENJOY doing. If you are eating tasteless food or if your workouts are a dreaded chore for you, there is no way you will stick with it. Find new recipes and try new fitness classes this year!
5. Make it a lifestyle- If your New Year’s Resolution is weight loss, try changing your thinking. You can’t (and wouldn’t want to!) be losing weight the rest of your life. After you reach your “happy weight” you will need to stick with the lifestyle changes you’ve already made to get to that point. Don’t think of this as a one-year commitment to a healthy diet and exercise, this is for life!

A Note on Nutrition Counseling:
It's a new year, so check with me to see if nutrition counseling can be covered by your health insurance plan. Anyone can benefit by nutrition counseling- even if you are not looking to lose or gain weight. I can help you make sure you are getting the most out of the foods you are eating and meeting your nutritional requirements.
Most of the following plans that I am a provider with now reimburse for nutrition counseling due to new healthcare reform:
INDEPENDENCE BLUE CROSS and AMERIHEALTH Members: Personal Choice, Keystone Health Plan East, or AmeriHealth members may receive 6 free nutritional counseling sessions each year with me!
*Note: I am not a provider with Medicare or Blue Cross/Blue Shield
AETNA Members: Aetna reimbursement depends upon your specific policy. Many plans do offer 100% coverage for up to 10 visits per year!
Note: I offer package rates for clients paying out of pocket who do not have any of the insurance plans I am a provider with. I also have an E-Client package, so even if you live across the country I can work with you to meet your nutrition goals! To inquire, email me at: nutrition@clublamaison.com
