Top 2 Tuesday



Well friends in blog land, we made it through Monday. I will admit that I was sorely disappointed this morning when I woke up and realized it is in fact, only Tuesday and not Thursday like I had thought. And to boot it's a smidgen gloomy here in Rhode Island. Le sigh...

This weeks Top 2 Tuesday with the Undomestic Momma is a fun one - "Things You Collect".

1) Beauty Products: I have a small addiction with makeup, hair products, face washes, body lotions, and toothpastes (yes, even toothpastes!). I have a hard time walking into any mall or specialty shop and not leaving with some sort of beauty product. My favs: Nars' Orgasm Blush, Tarte's Clean Slate Primer, Laura Mercier Tinter Moisturizer.


2) Cookbooks: This is a recent collection addiction as I was the girl who swore that she could get all the recipes online for free. Well that changed once I fell in love with the physicality of a cookbook. My Mom bought me the perfect cookbook stand this past Christmas so my addiction keeps on growing. I love recipes so much that for my bridal shower, my Mom & bridal party had everyone bring a family recipe and insert it into a giant compilation sort of cookbook (it's the one in the far right back corner of the picture). My favs: anything by Ina Garten or Giada DeLaurentiis.

  7. I think my cookbook collection could rival yours! haha And i don't even like cooking! Maybe I should send you a few more!
    But you win in the makeup collection! You probably have way better skin than I do too! I could probably stand to invest in a few cleaning products.
