Whatever Wed..including Pinterset update, BB Cream review and More!

Lots of random thoughts today! We are on the hunt for patio furniture. We moved to a new house this past Oct, from a three-story cluster. At our old home, we had a double-deck, but no backyard, so we have very little patio furniture. I’m told NOW is the time to buy patio furniture, so I’m on the hunt! Here are some sets I’ve found online that I like.

I found this set at Overstock.com

I’ve been looking at lots of sites online and, shocker, I even started a patio furniture Pinboard on Pinterest!Yes, I gave the site a scathing review a few weeks ago, but now that I’ve spend a little time on it and learned how to use it, I’m a believer! You can check out my Patio Furniture Pinboard Here!

Also, this weekend is the Great Big Home and Garden Expo at the IX Center here in Cleveland.

We go every year to get ideas for our home. The displays are always very impressive! Two years ago, I MC’d an event at the show with Cheryl Tiegs. That’s when I was still working at Fox 8. Here’s a picture of us on stage…we coincidentally dressed alike! She was a spokesperson for Cambria Quartz Countertops at the time. She was very friendly and we had a good time! The only strange thing? She told me she hates all sweets and chocolate! I don’t think we could ever be friends! haha

Next Whatever Wednesday….I tried BB Cream! I blogged about it last month and you can read all about the new beauty balm that is the latest “it” item, here.

I found one that was only $12.99 at Target. It is the Garnier BB Cream.

I used it yesterday and I really like it. It is light…not at heavy as a tinted moisturizer, but is great for just running errands or as a primer or sunscreen. I also like the price…much better than some I saw online going for more than 70 bucks!

Ok…lots of different topics in Whatever Wednesday! Any patio furniture recommendations? I’d love to hear them!

BB Cream

Have you ever heard of BB Cream? I just heard of it for the first time a few days ago. The TODAY SHOW  contributor Jenn Falik did a beauty segment on this new skin cream that is supposed to be the new “it” item! Check out this segment here.  I googled it today and here’s what I found…

There are MANY different brands. Above are the BB Cream brands that Sephora offers. According to the Sephora website…BB Cream is

“…..short for “blemish balm” or “beauty balm”—is truly an all-in-one skincare wonder. Their lightweight, multitasking formulas provide SPF sunscreen protection and work to moisturize, conceal, and treat skin in just one simple step. The silky, tinted lotions effortlessly blend with your natural tone, minimize the need for concealer and foundation, camouflage lines and imperfections, and serve as a skin-perfecting primer. With just one swipe, skin is left looking smooth, glowing, and natural.

BRTCSTORE.com also claims they are the “official” BB cream site and that the trend came from Asia.

I’m intrigued. I hate wearing makeup if I’m spending the day on the beach or just running to the grocery store or gym, but I also like a little coverage and BB cream may be the answer.

Before I pick a brand to try, I want to hear if any of you have tried BB cream and if so, what kind do you like? Can’t wait to hear if you’ve heard of this “new” trend!
