Kingsley: A few of my favorite things...

For my first post I wanted to mention a few things I am really loving right now:

1) http://www.mint.com/ - organize all your bank accounts, savings accounts, loans, property, etc. It lets you catagorize your transactions (ie. restaurants, clothing, gas, utilities, healthcare) so you can see on a pie chart where your money is going each month. You can also set it up to send you email alerts when your checking account gets low or a payment is due. You can also set up monthly budgets in each catagory, so if you are $50 away from blowing your April Grocery Budget you will get an email warning you its time to buy Ramen. Very cool stuff, and easy to use. For those of you with Iphones or Ipod touches, they have a cool app to go with it!

4) NARS Blush/Bronzer Duo in Orgasm/Laguna - Not only are these the most popular NARS colors, but this set is a great value pricewise. You are getting $60 worth of makeup for only $37, and their powders last forever! These colors are universally flattering, and it doesn't take much to give you a little shot of color. Available at http://www.sephora.com/

3) SAKS Friends and Family Event - Saks is giving us 25% off their merchandise this weekend (only 20% off jewelry, and 15% off cosmetics). You can use the coupon in store, or online if you don't live near a Saks! Email me if you want a copy of the coupon!

4) Charm Bracelets - Not like the ones we had in elementary school, the new charm bracelets are fun and funky, ranging from bright and sparkly to boho-natural. Here are a few that have caught my eye, any of them would be great this summer with a tee and jeans or a cotton dress and flip-flops:
