White Collar

Tonight is the Season Premiere of USA's new show White Collar at 10pm. This is definitely my favorite new show and I'm so excited that it was picked up for another season. The show is about the partnership between FBI agent Peter Burke(played by Tim DeKay) and Con Man Neil Caffrey(played by Matthew Bomer and is HOT). Peter is only person to ever have caught Neil. After Neil escapes from a maximum-security prison when his lady-love leaves him and is caught again by Peter he makes a deal to help the FBI in exchange for a GPS ankle-monitor(instead of prison)and is released into Peter's custody. This begins the classic crime show partnership of the stick-to-the-rules cop and the what-are-rules partner the cop is forced to work with. However, the combination of clever writing and great acting keep the relationship from feeling stale or cliched. In supporting parts are Tiffani Thiessen as Peter's wife Elizabeth and Willie Garson(Sex and the City's Stanford)as Neil's friend and ally Mozzie.

Peel or Strip

I used to always use the pore strips on that pesky side of the nose area, but it got pretty expensive. After all you don't get many of those strips in a box. I found a solution in a huge squeeze tube of Totally Juicy Grapefruit Peel-Off Masque. It's super inexpensive and I think it does a better job. Most importantly it the tube lasts forever.

Fireplaces

Cold weather days are best spent in front of a roaring fire. I love fireplaces, but don't have fires as often as I would like due to the clean-up part. There should be such things as fireplace boys..like pool boys. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing. Anyway, here are some fabulous fireplaces and I'll leave the fireplace boy up to you

My dream is to be able to spend the entire month of January just Nesting.

Korres

Korres is my current favorite line of beauty products. It's from Greece and is natural. The Jasmine Showergel smells very real and not that icky faux-jasmine scent. I've also used their Deep Colour Mascara, which is one of the best everyday mascaras I've found. However, it's the facial care system that is the very best. The White Tea Facial Fluid Gel Cleanser is super gentle, yet still gets all the guck off. I follow with the Wild Rose Brightening Serum and Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturizer . I would use the Serum step even if my dry skin didn't demand it because it smells so darn good.

Sherlock

Sherlock Holmes's Birthday is today. Yes, the world's greatest consulting detective was born on January 6th, 1854. I confess that I love the Sherlock stories and find him attractive. So, in honor of his birthday I have two questions.

1.Who is your favorite Holmes overall? The original, Jeremy Brett, Basil Rathbone, or Robert Downey Jr?

2. Which of the above Holmes choices would you rather be stuck with on a foggy moor...and not in a I'm your client way?

New Beginnings

I'm so bored with making the same New Year's Resolutions year after year that I'm not making any this year. Instead, I'm going to just try to not be as lethargic and un-energetic as last year. That will be challenge enough!

It's a New Year

Happy New Year!! Once again it's a new year. Time to set all the resolutions I meant to do last year.
