Book Report: Jonathan Adler: My Prescription for Anti- Depressive Living

AOL had a video series of innovators and Jonathan Adler was featured, he is noted for his distinct, classy, yet whimsical take on design. I was so impressed with the video series that I decided to purchase one of his books. Jonathan's book: My Prescription for Anti- Depressive Living is one of the best Modern Day books on design that I have seen in years! He not only gives you great ways to design and decorate any room, but it is part inspirational as well. Adler tells of how he decided to ditch a coveted junior talent agent position, to make pottery non-stop for three years!! Fast forward today he is the most sought out after designer having key retail stores in major markets and such a zest for life. As a former art history major I know Jonathan will be ranked as the designer of the who infused the world with laughter in a tasteful way. Please pick up this book, this is a must for your coffee table or if you are doin...

Beauty Spot: Garnier Face Mask

This week, we switched it up a bit regarding, beauty products. We heard a lot about Garnier Face Mask, so we had to try it out! Garnier Face Mask, for 6 sheets it costs about 14.95, put it on as you would any face mask for ten min. I did feel a tingling sensation; however it was nothing unbearable. After 10 min. my skin, looked and felt great! I tried it again for three days straight as directed, and my skin was a noticeable radiant, smoothe, and brighter. Someone asked if I can been on vacation, nope and I smiled :) So, for Garnier is our go to product for facial masks under $25.00. You can get Garnier at any major retailer including Wal-Mart! Cheers to beautiful skin thanks to Garnier!
