New England Minute


1 of my favorite New England restaurants is The Common Man. The restaurants are all warm & cozy & have great food. They have 18 different restaurants all over New Hampshire.

Cute as a cupcake

I got this picture today @ Christmas tree shop for my office. I love cupcake art (stationery, stickers, embellishments). I wish it was chocolate though.

Nailpolish love

Recently Zoya nailpolish was looking for more followers on their Facebook page. If they reached a certain amount of followers they were going to give away 3 free nailpolishes to everyone that signed up (we just had to pay shipping $6.95). So I got Adina (purple), Shavon (pinkish-reddish) & Kotari (blue).

Our local Walmart finally got Wet & Wild's Beetle nailpolish. It was on my Christmas stocking list, but it seems like Santa couldn't find it. It came with this cute purple heart ring. I love the color. It's on my thumb & pointer fingers.


I also noticed these new scented Revlon nailpolishes. I was going to buy the blueberry one, but I took a pic & totally forgot to put it in my cart.

CSN stores review coming soon

It's almost that time again, for another CSN stores review. I'm really looking forward to doing another review for them. I'm really loving the wall art & decor that they have. We have a wall in Tara's room that needs to be filled up. I will be checking out allmodern.com to see what they have on there. You can find wallpaper, vases, accent chairs, candles, coffee tables & end tables & lots more on there.
Don't forget CSN Stores has over 200+ online stores. Valentine's day will be here in a few shorts weeks.

Boots addict

I got these Ugg boots for X-mas. I had a pic of them before on here.
Then I got these Skechers shape ups boots (sorry the pic is so small)



Then I found these Bearpaw boots @ Macys for $60, so I got those.


I saw these boots below in Forever 21, but they didn't have my size. I'll probably end up ordering them online.


I've always been obsessed with boots, but this Winter it has been really bad. Everywhere I go I see people walking around with cute boots on & I want every pair.

Friday Favorites

Some of my recent Favorites are~


1. C.O. Bigelow Rose salve. I've seen in quite a few celebrities mention loving this product in magazines. I had been wanting to try it. Then I got a gift card for B&B works for X-mas & noticed on the website that they have it. So I got 1 & have been using it on my lips, hands & heels & it works great. I really need it this time of year in New England. My hands usually crack in the Winter.



2. Cold Stone Creamery Hot Chocolate. I bought the dark chocolate. It's sooo yummy. I originally bought the 70 callorie hot choc, but it has aspertame in it, which makes me sick, so I went & got the regular dark chocolate.



3. Whole living magazine. I recently saw good deal on 1 of the savings blogs that I follow, so I signed up for a free subscription to this magazine. Lots of good info in here.

Handy Hubby

I'm so glad that I have a Handy Hubby. He put in a new faucet in our bathroom a few weeks ago. It's so much better than the 30 year old faucet that was there. The bad thing is T now plays with it all-the-time. The old one she couldn't turn on. It's also easier to burn yourself on it. I've done it a few times already.

The next projects that he is going to do, is paint the downstairs bathroom & the upstairs bathroom & he's going to build a shelf for the bathroom & 2 for the kitchen. Can't wait.
