Something major has happened. Super major. I think as bloggers we all set little goals inside our heads. For me getting to 100 followers was a goal I remember early on, when it was achieved, I swear I did a little happy dance when no one was watching! 100 people in this huge world cared about what I had to say. Well......fast forward two years and another goal of mine was and don't ask me why on this number (because I truly do not know) was to achieve 5000 subscribers. Ambitious? Yes, I agree, but somehow this was a goal.
And by golly, its been achieved. Is it really possible? 5 THOUSAND people want to know what I have to say? Seriously? OMG...this is really really big in my book and all I can say is thank you, thank you thank you. I am grateful for your friendship, the emails, pictures and support I get from literally all around the world. You cannot imagine the thrill it gave me to click on feedburner stats and see this- 5000 on the button on 3-13-13!!!! Lucky day afterall:)

Moving along....by now you know I do love my products. I love trying new things and love even more when I find a real winner. Well...I have found a few winners lately that I feel I must share. I know many of you savvy readers might already know about these products but they are worth the "shout out" just in case because they are fabulous, worth every penny and absolutely products that will become a regular on my vanity!!
7 second leave in conditioner/detangler...this product is all everyone said it is. The girls at the salon I go to swear by this and they did not exaggerate. Leaves my hair (which tangles easily) very easy to comb through and feeling really moisturized. This is the best leave in conditioner I have ever used, its that good! I LOVE this product!! Click here to buy on Amazon.
OK, Marsha from Splenderosa, that glamorous mama who knows a thing or two about beauty told me to try this, she said it was like a healthy drink of moisture for your skin. She was right on the money!! She read that I had bought the caviar cream by La Prarie which I have to say I have only used twice because i got this first and have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it makes my skin feel and look. Its a keeper so thank you Marsha. I could only find it on Amazon, click here to buy.....cannot say enough good things about this cream, great if you have dry skin!
Onto the house....I play around a lot, part of the fun is moving accessories and things around.Its like the best science experiment in the world:) I changed things around on my living room console yet again and this scenario I believe is a keeper. I love the explosion of the white cherry blossoms which I just added to my oversized ginger jar, it's dramatic and elegant and a great way to be greeted as you enter the room. I also added the two whiter jars on either side and a collection of some of my silver frames, take a look......
Have no fear.....a picture is being replaced in the empty frame!!
Books......can we seriously ever have enough? I dont' think so. I finished The Red Book and have to say I really really liked it. Anyone else read it? Another fabulous book is The French Chateau. This is a book I have written about before, yes, its that good. I just gave a copy to a friend for belated birthday, and have given this a few times as gifts. Unfortunately I see its gone up in price which normally means there aren't many copies around, but its sooo worth it as it truly takes you to a beautiful special place. She cannot thank me enough, she said it best when she said "its the next best thing to being in the French countryside and living like a true French aristocrat" this book is EXQUISITE!! It portrays beautifully the life, style and traditions of living in a French chateau and highlights many parties. weddings and other day to day events. Every single page is breathtaking and if you like me, are an incurable Francophile....then by all means you must own this book! Click here to go to Amazon.
