January Favorites

So even though I have a lot going on right now, I like to escape reality for a while and enjoy all things entertaining, sparkly, pretty, yummy... you get the idea.

NETFLIX

The 4400
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389564/

A bunch of people go missing and all of a sudden 60 years later they show back up, with special powers. The show gives you likable characters and plot twists that keep you interested. 

666 Park Avenue

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2197797/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Okay, I am pretty sure this is the exact premise of The Devil's Advocate. There is a lawyer trying to make his way to mayor, the stay-at-home "wife" who sees all the crazy neighbors (both living and dead) and the wealthy, connected overseer. A lot of this show is predictable, but still a decent one season show, they wrapped it up so cleanly I can't even imagine a second season. 

Beauty Obsession

http://www.sephora.com/creme-de-rose-smoothing-plumping-lip-balm-P254222?skuId=1223338

BEST LIP BALM EVER! That's it, all you need to know! Well it is costly but it will last you FORVER. Not too sure about the plumping part but it is the most moisturizing lip balm I have ever used. It is a holy grail item. 

SNACK

Just 2 ingredients? Seems too good be true right? Well, I have tried these before and they were, well, okay. I think the tip on this blog helped a lot, lining the pan in foil. I also used dark chocolate brownie mix so it would be super healthy (pumpkin and dark chocolate), right ?

DECORATIONS

This is actually much cuter in person. I have it hanging a little wider in my house and it is a cute addition to the homemade heart garlands Alice made to decorate the house. 

BOOK

http://www.amazon.com/J-D-Salinger-A-Life/dp/0812982592

I am a HUGE The Catcher in the Rye fan, I mean HUGE like I have the book tattooed on my arm huge. J.D. Salinger has always been so mysterious that I wanted to know more. This book is a little slow to get into but has some great information about one of my favorite authors.
