just a few of my favorites...

seeing that summer officially starts tomorrow, i thought it would be the perfect time to share a few of my favorite "pampering" products from crabtree & evelyn.  i have to tell you these products definitely come in handy between manicures and pedicures! ha! ha!
...LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
first, crabtree & evelyn's 60 second fix for hands in citron. this could be one of my favorite scents! if you haven't smelled it, you should! although, i'm not sure if it's good rubbing against my nail polish? ha! ha!  
let's not forget about our feet! ha! ha!  on that note, i'm also a huge fan of crabtree & evelyn's 60 second fix for feet in la source.  such a soothing feeling, especially seeing that i live in my jack rogers & steven bonanno's all summer long! ha! ha!
do you have any favorite "pampering" treatments you like to do at home over the summer for your hands and feet?

almost forgot, did anyone take advantage of the all-clad SALE over at joss & main? well, i couldn't help but buy another large all-clad roaster. too good of a deal to pass up! i love the one have have, although i don't use it very often. ha! ha! 
here's a photo of what i ordered:
in my opinion no one can ever own enough all-clad! ha! ha! ;)

i know i haven't finished posting about my vacation to MD, D.C. and VA, but i wanted to post a few photos from my weekend up in lake geneva, wisconsin. this time we stayed over at the french country inn [click here for a link to the inn] on lake como, also well known for their restaurant kirsh's.
it's always nice to getaway with my husband, if only for a few nights. we love going up to lake geneva and staying at the various resorts, hotels and B&B's/inns.

saturday night we went out for dinner and i ended up having lobster & prime rib...shocker! ha! ha! yum!
oh well, enjoy...
 loving all the adirondack chairs!!!

 below is a view from our balcony looking out over the lake:
below is a view from the dock look back at the inn...
obviously a photo taken from the pool area looking back out at the lake. unfortunately, the water was NOT heated and it was freezing cold! BRRRRRRRR!!!!
finally, taking in a beautiful sunset!
okay,  i'm ready to go back! ha! ha!

too bad my next vacay/getaway won't be until over the 4th when we head up to our cottage in northern michigan...can't wait!
