Five for Friday, End of September

How is it that today is the last

Friday in September?? Did this

month fly by or what? Time needs

to slow down.

Here is what caught my eye this week.

{one}

Love So Soft- Kelly Clarkson

Love this new song by Kelly.
Cannot wait for her new album.

Boscia Luminizing Black Mask

Now that there is a Sephora down the street from my office,

I find myself popping in the store at least once a week.

My pores drive me crazy so I'm always looking for

products to minimize them. The girl recommend this mask.

It's a peel-off mask and I LOVE it. However, Jenn hated it, she prefers

masks that you can wash off, rather than peel off. You can

wash this one off as well. I thought it made my pores look smaller.

Jenn didn't notice any difference. Her pores are also really

small and doesn't have issues with them like I do.

I love peel-off mask. This one is still one of my favorites.

Lash Princess by Essence

Has anyone tired this mascara??

I read about it on Popsugar and then saw it on the Daily Mail.

People are raving about it. It's like falsies in a tube.

I think I need to pick some up

next time I'm at Ulta.

Essence

MZ Wallace Metro Tote

I went to see this bag in person and

it ended up coming home with me.

I absolutely LOVE it. It's a great work

bag, you can stuff it and it still feels light.

Even Jenn loved them and picked up this one.

Now, I want this one, this one, and this one.

Belle Costume

I finally saw Beauty and the Beast!
OMG I LOVED IT!!!
When I saw this Belle Costume at
Target, I was like UGH, how great is that.
Ok, please tell me I'm not alone
with my new Beauty and the Beast
obsession??

Belle

That wraps up my five for Friday. I have big

plans this weekend, I'm going to do

a little bit of nothing. LOL. It's been a long

week and I'm exhausted.

Have a Wonderful Weekend.

What caught your eye this week?

Let me know, I love hearing from you!!

Wish List Wednesday-Under $100

It's Wednesday which means I'm back with another wish list. In an effort to

be more fiscally responsible, all my picks are under $100. While

I do splurge a bit (maybe too much), I am actively

trying to not shop as much. So for today,

I'm merely wishing.

Plaid Scarf

Side Slit Tee

Better than Sex Mascara

Statement Earrings

Knit Hat

Ruffle Utility Jacket

Again, I'm merely wishing. Not shopping.
Sometimes, I think I should just be a personal shopper so
that I can get paid to shop!! However,I'm not sure I would
really like that. Buying beautiful things that I can't keep
for myself. Hmm..not sure I could do that. Lol.

What's on your wish list??
Let me know, I love hearing from you!!
Best, Marie

Sky Garden

Sky Garden

London, England

Today, I'm back with a post from our trip to London.

Yes, that trip back in March. My apologies...I have a bunch

of London posts sitting in my draft folders that I hope

to get up on the blog soon.

In a word, Sky Garden was AH-MAZING.

And that is alot coming from someone

like me who is afraid of heights. I was very hesitate to go here.

Mainly because I'm afraid of heights and didn't think I would

enjoy it. But it was awesome and well worth a visit.

Oh and did I mention that it is FREE to visit.

Yes, that's right FREE to visit. You do

have to get tickets to visit but they are free.

More on that later.

Amazing, right??

The views are incredible!!

Now, it is free to visit but you do have to get timed tickets which you can

get on their website. Now, you can only get tickets up to three weeks

in advance. Actually, what we did was we made a reservation for breakfast

at one the restaurants, Darwin. Now, that was a brilliant idea because you

can walk around the gardens before it is opened to the public. Which pretty

much means, you have the whole place to yourself. I have to thank Lauren for

that idea. We had reservations for 8:30am and we were allowed up at 8:20am. Since

we still had ten minutes, they allowed us to walk around the whole place. It

really was awesome, walking around, taking it all in and not worrying

about bumping into others.
Note- We did have timed tickets for 10am but because
we had reservations, they checked us in early.

SkyGarden has five restaurants, you can go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

However, reservations are hard to get (plan ahead) and it gets PACKED there.

Hence, why we choose to go for breakfast. In fact, when we left there

around 11am, you should have seen how packed it

was. And, I won't even talk about the line to get in.

It should be noted, that you must go through airport style

security and they do have a dress code for evening.

I totally recommend a visit. But do plan

in advance, tickets go very quickly.
And it gets very crowd.

Hence, a morning visit or late afternoon
would be a ideal time.

Visit Sky Garden to learn more.

Would you visit if you were afraid of heights??
Let me know, I love hearing form you!!
