Continuing with TCM's 20th Anniversary celebrations, they are now offering FREE movie location tours in Los Angeles. I took this tour in December and it was fantastic. You can read all about it HERE.

If you are in Los Angeles or in the area I highly suggest to do this tour. Tickets will be limited to two per person and they will be gone quickly so hop to it and snag your free tickets HERE.

Keep checking out the link I just share because TCM will continue to have more free events leading up to their birthday on April 14th, 2014.

This weekend was a double score here for this vintage nerd. A beauty day at Ulta (HERE) and then a huge score. What did I score? You better believe it...I found every single shade of lipstick from the Revlon Legacy Collection at a local store! I could not believe my eyes when I saw them there in their special display box. It seems Revlon only sent this store two lipsticks of each shade. There were nine when I found them and four left when I was done shopping.

Gahhhhh! I am so happy! Why is this such a big deal for me? Well, I have always been a lipstick sort of person. I don't normally wear makeup everyday but the thing I do put on aside from moisturizer is lipstick. And then when I found out that Revlon was going to reissue shades from 70-60 years ago, well you know I really had to find them. And find them I did!

After I spoke to the Revlon customer service (HERE) they told me I would find them at my local Walgreens, Ulta, or CVS. Then in conversation my husband informs me that Walgreen's owns Duane Reede (my hubby is into business/finance topics) and I thought-why not try and look there?!

So I am saying now, try your local Duane Reede! You never know! I still cannot believe I have all five of the shades in my grasp. I love each of them but I love some more than others. To get in the spirit of spring, although it seems eons away, I wore this beauty of a dress from the 1940's. It is just perfect for that in between weather from March to April. I will be wearing it to an outing soon so you will be seeing more of it.

If you are looking for some shades here are some places on Ebay that I found sells them: One Last Touch, Lacquerista, and Premier_Finds. I hope those of you looking for these shades have found them and that you have been finding my posts about this special line helpful.

I recently decided that I needed to take some time out for myself every month and do something for me. It doesn't have to be big or cost a lot but I have been feeling the exhaustion of being a housewife and tending to three small children. Since my husband works two jobs and he works every day of the week the work load can become a little overwhelming at times. Add a disability and daily fatigue and yeah, I have recognized that I needed to take better care of myself. And it started this Saturday at Ulta.

Since I started my vintage journey in 2011 I have had three haircuts. The first was a disastrous 1940's middy and the last two have been basically correcting that first haircut. Needless to say I have been lightly worried about getting a haircut but I knew I had to get one soon. My ends were super dry and the shape was doing nothing for me.

I looked into my local Ulta store and found that not only do they sell amazing beauty products that range from top of the line and expensive to less expensive but they also have a hair salon, they do facials, and they have brow shaping at their Benefit counter. Not to mention that these services are priced really reasonable. I decided to go for it. I worked with an amazing hairdresser named Delisia who was so attentive to me and did a fantastic job-see for yourself!

I also had my eyebrows reshaped at the Benefit counter and a free mini makeover using the products from Benefit. I love my eyebrows so much more now and the makeup was lovely. It didn't feel heavy and let's just say after I finish off the MAC makeup I have now I am going to convert to Benefit completely. I will definitely post about their products as soon as I get some more in my grasp.

Have you been to Ulta? Have you ever tried any Benefit products?

It's time for the winter edition of my favorite things! Last edition was for the fall so I figured it was time to share this with you as we are on the brink of spring here. Winter isn't my favorite season but it is a season that is filled with the excitement of Christmastime. It's also filled with lots of warm tea, hearty soups, baby snuggles, and cozy blankets.

Christmas is such a joyous time of year for many reasons. Add three little ones the mix and it becomes three times more fun and exciting. This year all three of my children were at an age where the understood the holidays a bit better. The youngest is three so he went bonkers opening his gifts and my daughter who is six was able to understand the deeper meanings of the season as well.
