10 + 5

As requested by Tracy, I've decided to create one of these.

10 Essentials (in no particular order)

1. Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum. Amazing what a small dab applied to towel-dried hair can do!

2. Nail polish of any kind and brand, but my faves at the moment are anything from Essie. My nails are painted 99% of the time, I change the color often, and my color choices are usually reflective of my mood. Current shade: Essie in "St. Lucia Lilac".

3. Gilly Hicks Sydney brand bras & undies. The perfect combination of comfort, support and sexiness. This brand is a sister of Abercrombie & Fitch and can be pricey, but when found at Jersey outlets, are extremely affordable with great quality. Plus, they have as wide of a color selection as Old Navy flip flops.

4. Flip Flops. Not only a great way to show off #2, but also super convenient when heading out the door & can complete any outfit from fancy to casual.

5. Intricate & unique stationary. If you know me well, you know I love sending old fashioned snail mail. I like to send people letters as a more personalized "hello" and what better way to do this than with fun paper?

6. My Sony Cybershot digital camera. I never leave home without it. I am obsessed with taking pictures to capture every get-together I am a part of.

7. Three-stoned heart amethyst ring. Always worn on my left ring finger, I also never leave home without this. Given to me by Jeremy for my 22nd birthday, it always reminds me of him, which always leaves me smiling.

8. Lipgloss/lip balm. Current choices: Blistex Complete Moisture & Ulta Super shiny gloss in Pixie.

9. Green tea. Whether served iced, hot, or as a latte via Starbucks, this beverage is not only full of antioxidants, but is also delicious and refreshing! I try to drink at least 2 cups a day.

10. Internet. I'll have to copy Tracy, but I wouldn't be able to survive without Hulu, Facebook, Gmail & youtube. How else would I keep up with my latest shows, hear about the latest gossip, and entertain myself? :)

5 Things I would like to have/accomplish in the future

1. Earn/save enough money to buy my parents a luxury vacation because I don't know any other people that deserve it more than them.

2. My own house. Complete with husband & child/children.

3. Ipad. I know that I'm probably just following the hype, but it seems amazing...Maybe I'll wait a few years while Apple creates new versions of it until I buy an old first model version...when it's a few hundred dollars cheaper.

4. Nikon D40 and the ability to take even better pictures both composition & subject-wise.

5. A piece of jewelry with more than 1 ct. of diamond.

Hope more people post their 10 + 5!
