Welp, I'm trying to not complain but this Antarctic weather is getting quite old. My hips aren't especially appreciating it either. Why is it you want to turn into a hibernating bear when it's below zero? I'm starting to get to know the staff well at both Whole Foods and Wegmans. I've been hitting them up weekly for their prepared foods and bakeries. For not only do I want to eat - but I do not want to cook.  I think it's the kitchen in our sorority house apartment. Cheap appliances, lack of counter space and cabinets do not make cooking fun. So in the meantime I'm developing quite a friendship with the comfort food/salad bar. Oh and then there is wine- that always gets me through too. So that's where I'll be until Spring gets here. The food bar and the liquor store.

The cold is doing a number on my hair and skin. Nothing like going into a new year with split ends and wimpy lashes!  I needed help ASAP so I turned to some heavy duty moisturizing products to keep the dryness at bay.  First up:

Glowing clear skin, luscious locks and pouty lips don't have to be for A-Listers only. You don't have to spend a lot either. Don't get me wrong, I love a good luxury product- and if it's worth it, I will spend!  But in a quick fix some drugstore buys will do just fine. These are some of my faves that I can find at my local Wegmanns and Target!:
