Our once Mid-Century Home (rock yard, desert landscape ranch house built in 1964) is now more of a cottage style, but only on the outside. I am slowly becoming obsessed with plants and flowers. It all started last year when we took out the rock yard, planted grass and created planters. We went to this giant nursery where you have to drive around to see all of the different plants. Endless possibilities. Also we fixed the outside of our house, painted and added more river rock. One day I will show you before and afters, but only when my flowers are all in bloom. I hope to show you all of these plants in my yard by the end of summer, so far we have 3 out of 4 and are waiting on a bid for our white picket fence...ah the American Dream. Now......how do I fit succulents into all of this??

Don't Walk.....Run

... and get THIS mask

while it is on sale. I have no idea what inspired me to buy this today at Costco, not that I need inspiration to buy much of anything. It said "Mud" instead of "Masque" and I think I instantly went back to Glen Ivy and the great Mud Bath they have there. It's my favorite part about going there because my skin always looks so much better after "Club Mud." It used to be $61.00 from Borghese but now you can get it for $22 with this weeks coupons for Costco. Anyways, I tried it just now and it is AMAZING. My skin feels tight and toned and super soft.
Here is the rest of my regimen tonight.

This Before the Mud

Then after I took the mud off with a damp washcloth, I sprayed this. It smells like the earth, I love it.

After the Toner I put cow booby juice on my face. Gross huh.

I love this.

I just stumbled upon this blog, Grizzly Bear Modern, when I was looking for inspiration for a succulent terrarium. Obviously, this isn't a terrarium, but it's lovely!!

Lashes

Need I say more?
