I was checking out at Ulta the other day and the clerk had the perfect – PER-FECT color of lipstick on her pretty little lips. Not too red, not too brown, not too purple, just perfect, so of course, I had to get some! Urban Decay describes the color as a muted rose.

What I also love about this lipstick, besides it being the perfect shade, is the formula. This stuff is creamy delicious and stays. on. for. hours. I was amazed that about four hours after initially applying it I could still feel it and see it on my little lippies.

From Urban Decay:

Delivers insane color payoff plus creamy shine.

Our Pigment Infusion System^TM gives the formula its super creamy texture, insane pigmentation, superior color dispersion and extended wear.

Maxi-Lip^TM defines and hydrates lips while making them look plumper and fuller.

A nourishing blend of jojoba oil, avocado oil, cocoa butter and shea butter keeps lips super moisturized and cushiony soft.

Our shade range includes everything from gorgeous nudes to bold brights.

It comes in 22 shades, so even if you don’t think Fiend is your color, check out the others!

I’ve blogged about this CWDKids.com before, but just have to give them another shout out because they have so many adorable Halloween outfits and pajamas. Lots are already clearance priced. I’ve ordered from CWD Kids, and found the quality of their merchandise to be well made, while keeping their pricing very reasonable.

They also have some great outfits and pajamas for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Go! Now! Enjoy!

I love magnets. I’m not one of those people that covers my refrigerator with magnets – but I do have a magnetic board in my home office and one in my pantry for all my random stuff. I also love a good holiday as you know!

I just ordered some really cute Halloween magnets from Sunny’s Gift Shop on Etsy. Right now, they have a buy three get one free offer.  You can get four magnets to a set for $5.50, which I think is a great price so pick up several sets for yourself and to give as gifts. The great thing is you could give someone just one magnet, or all four, and you are still going to be the most thoughtful, fun person they know!

I ordered this cute set of Fall Leaves too!

Sunny’s Gift Shop has lots of themes to choose from, so I hope you check out the inventory and order!

PS, I did check with Sunny and she will have Christmas magnets in her Etsy store soon! I will definitely be ordering those! What cute teacher gifts, and coworker gifts!

Fall has finally arrived here in Texas. You will be happy to know that I have finally had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte. I have to wait until it’s cold enough in the morning to have hot coffee. Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte is not nearly as good as hot!

And I’m giddy with my fall baking. I love, love, love to bake. I avoid it at all cost because I am not one of those bakers that can resist eating and it goes straight to my tummy and hips. But in the Fall I can be the most wonderful neighbor and friend and gift everyone around me and just keep one or two little goodies for the hubby and me.

And, another great thing about Fall is the holidays. I’ve decorated my house and porch with all my Halloween decorations and this month I will give you a fun, free Halloween app every week. Now, there are lots of scary, creepy apps out there so if you want those, just search the app store, but I’m into fun and kid friendly. So that’s all you will get from me this month! Boo!

First app for you for Halloween is Halloween Wallpapers & Ringtone – Scary, Horror, Spooky & Funny Wallpapers, Images, Background, Music & Ringtones. It’s a great free app with tons of wallpaper and ringtone choices so your smartphone gets in the full spirit of Halloween! My only complaint about this app is there are over 40 ringtones and I would like them identified better than just Halloween 1, 2, 3, etc.
