Georgia’s 5 Favs: Nashville & 4 Other Things I’m Into This Week

Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere, the stars of the new show 'Nashville.'  I just love this show!  That's just one thing I'm really excited about this week.  Enjoy another edition of Georgia's 5 Favs!

1.  Starbucks Holiday Cups

I have no idea why the arrival of these red cups makes me so excited each year, but they do.  Maybe because it's an unofficial sign of the holiday season, maybe it's because they change the design each year or maybe I just like Starbucks a little too much.  I don't really need a reason, they just make me smile.

2.  Stila One Step - Bronze

This will revolutionize your make-up routine.  Bold claim, I know.  I feel this same way about the Beauty Blender....  The helix design of this bronzer has three different shades, one for basic coverage, one to highlight your skin and one to add a little bronze color to your skin.  I add a small drop of the bronzer each morning to my foundation and it just gives the nicest glow to my skin.  Stila makes a One Step Corrector and Illuminator as well.  I received my Stila One Step in my Birchbox a few months ago.  You don't know what Birchbox is?  Oh, well then, continued reading.....

3.  Birchbox

Again, not to be too dramatic, but Birchbox will change your life.  (That's not dramatic at all....)  Birchbox is a small box full of sample sized (and sometimes full size!!) makeup products that you receive every month in the mail.  It costs $10 a month and you never know what you'll get.  You have no idea how excited I get each month when it's in my mailbox!  This month, I received a full size Model Co. mascara, Moxie Lip Butter, One Love Lavender Body Serum, among other goodies.  It's a small price for me to pay each month for a fun little surprise.  You can also get a Birchbox for men!

4.  'Nashville'

Have you watched the new show 'Nashville?'  If you haven't, you are doing yourself a disservice.  Watch it, download it, DVR it, right now!  It's dramatic, it's musical, and it's set in the beautiful city of Nashville.  What's not to love??  And check out my reviews of the episodes so far.  Well, as far as I've gotten...  Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4.

5.  Ghirardelli Squares - Dark & Sea Salt Carmel

I can't have an edition of Georgia's 5 Favs without some food product....  I stumbled upon these dark chocolate treats during Hurricane Sandy.  Of course, I was at the grocery store the day before Sandy hit (along with the rest of the state....) and I was picking up food supplies just in case we lost power, so I HAD to have some form of chocolate.  These dark chocolate squares are sweet and salty.  Kinda like me....

And there you have it! Feel free to suggest things that you’re into – maybe I will mention it here on my 5 Favs!
