baby, it's cold outside

brrrrr. if it is going to be this cold, some snow would be nice. and while i'm making requests, some snow on christmas day would be even nicer...

so here are a few product finds to get you through these frigid days:

1. nike element thermal half-zip running top. this was a treat waiting on me last friday when i got home from school. pb said happy december 3rd. i love it. it is the dri-fit fabric that nike does so well. keeps you warm but wicks away the "dew" when you are walking or running. two features i love: the fitted media-player zip pocket at back right hem and the thumbholes at the cuffs! the first is perfect to hold your ipod, the 2nd is just great. if you don't own something with thumbholes, you are missing out. cute and functional.

2. burt's bees lip shimmer. i bought my first tube of this 3 years ago at ace hardware. my sister introduced me to this little find while we were purchasing gifts cards for christmas gifts. i keep a tube of it in my bathroom drawer and one in the pocket of my coat. this natural lip balm contains vitamin e, coconut oil and sunflower oil. it protects and soothes your lips. guava is my color of choice.

3. the north face power stretch gloves. i like these gloves because i can still maneuver my ipod, put on the burt's bees lip balm or hold a coffee cup with them. em has the wind wall glove by the north face. they are great too but you can't be as dexterous with them. i find these an absolute necessity if you are outside for any length of time. my hands get so dry and these have been a lifesaver.

4. revlon nail enamel in creme brulee. while we are taking care of our hands, a great polish. not an essie polish but equally as cool of a color...and a walgreens find. it is gold without looking too 80's. a good, subtle gold. if you were lucky enough to score the j. crew sequin mesh bell skirt in gold dust, that was on sale thanksgiving weekend, it goes perfectly with that...thanks chic atlanta friend. a perfect holiday combination.

i would love to include a few more finds that arrived on my doorstep today...but they are christmas gifts and don't want to give anything away! stay warm and stay tuned...our christmas cards arrived and have been mailed. i will post one on here in a few days!
