Happy Sunday!

Putting together a list of favorites from 2012 wasn’t easy, but it’s one thing I really enjoy about the end of year: reading everyone else’s top picks for the year.  It’s interesting to see what products stood out among a deluge of products. I forget where I read but know it was recently: over 8,000 beauty products launch each year (what!), which is both cringe-worthy (how can one ever keep track and try it all?) and incredible (there will never be a day without something new to write about!).
