Organization of the New Year

6 days- less than 1 week- into 2014. I spent New Year's Day organizing my home and self (in general) for the new year. What does that mean.. Well, cleaned, organized closets, updated new calendar, planned vacations, ran all errands, created a new budget and when that was all done... Washed all rugs, organized all kitchen cabinets, cleaned out all drawers. You get the point. Feeling ready for the new year for sure.

Now that I am not traveling again for another 6 days, aside from work and sleep, not much to do. Of course, eat and exercise. But, as I watch TV, play Candy Crush and stalk on Facebook, I keep creating more lists in my head.

First list:
Beauty Products I Love & Cannot Live Without


Kiehl's Argan Hair Pak
The Body Shop Peppermint Foot Scrub & Foot Lotion
Moroccan Hair Oil
Yes To... (Blueberry, Grapefruit, or some other fruit) facial wipes
Cetaphil (good old basic sensitive facial cleanser- dermatologist recommended!)
Kiehl's facial moisturizer (basic or others)
Kiehl's flavored lip balms (love cranberry)
Kiehl's eye gel
The Body Shop body butter (love coconut)
OPI nail polish 
Fresh & Fresh Sugar perfume 
Cosmetics by Bobbi Brown, NARS & Urban Decay
          Faves are Bobbi blackberry lipstick and tinted moisturizer 
          NARS Orgasm and Sin blushes
          Any eyeliner or eyeshadow by Urban Decay
Bath & Body Works Anti-bacterial foam soap (love peach)
Secret clear gel deodorant (any fruit scent)
Almay oil-free eye make-up remover pads

As you can see, no shampoo or conditioner listed. Since my obvious favorite of Kiehl's, I love their hair products too,  but also switch between Aveda and Bumble & Bumble. Good stuff.

It's great to find products you love and can rely upon- and that are not crazy expensive. Some at the drug store and others at a specialty or department store- or on-line too.  Fun shopping.

With this said, you are now invited to look into my overloaded linen closet. Looks kinda like a Kiehl's and Body Shop factory!
