Best Lip Gloss, Hands Down

Name: MAC Lipglass in Viva Glam V
Cost: $14

Where do I get it? www.maccosmetics.com

Why I love it:
I am an admitted lipstick/lipgloss junkie. I have tried them all, spent hundreds of dollars over the years searching for the perfect lip flair. I keep coming back to this one, a simple shimmery pink with enough gumption to make my pout fabulous. You can layer it over lipstick, wear it alone, blend with other colors. I have one in each of my bags, and my car. You can't go wrong with this one, and you can feel good about your purchase, from the website: "In the spirit of all VIVA GLAM, every cent raised goes to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support the fight against HIV/AIDS." Woohoo!

Bring it and Swing it, Robin!

Name: Everything I can't have by Robin Thicke
Cost: download for 99 cents

Where do I get it? www.amazon.com

Why I love it:
This is currently my favorite song. You know, the kind you play over and over again until is seems as if you can't play it one more time, but then you do and the stars and the heavens align. I just happened to stumble upon it, and I swear, it make me dance every time. Every artist has one song that really shines, and hands down, this is his song.

I'm having a love affair with my Highlander

Name: Toyota Highlander
Cost: Varies widely

Where do I get it?www.toyota.com

Why I love it:
This SUV is perfect for my family. It has all the bells and whistles I could dream up, is very dependable, has excellent traction in the snow and has a stellar safety rating. It is a joy to drive, smooth, quiet and refined. It has a huge cargo space when the seats are folded flat down and also comes with the option of a pop up 3rd row. I know a mini van is very practical. But sometimes I don't really want to go the practical route, I want to pretend I am cool for just one more day and this is a great alternative.
