Today’s book club monday choice is the #1 New York Times bestseller Big Little Lies by Lane Moriarty (author of the amazing Husband’s Secret). This book has recently been made into an HBO series that has been called “a surefire hit” staring Reece Witherspoon, and Nicole Kidman.

1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch pan
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated, stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, stir into the batter alternately with the milk. If the batter is too thick, a tablespoon or 2 of milk may be address. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool in a wire rack. Dust with confectioners sugar right before serving.
Korean face masks are all the rage right now. I had been reading so much about these various sheet masks and how great they are for your skin. My instagram friend @thingseyelove2013 sent me a bunch of masks and I have been loving them. I actually just finished using a “soothing” mask. The craze is getting so huge that Barneys just installed a Mask Bar featuring 30 different types of Korean face masks. I thought you might want to try some of these masks at home. The most authentic ones come directly from Korea so if you cannot get to there this week!! or the Barney’s Mask Bar, I’ve got you covered. Amazon is selling some of the best authentic Korean masks. I absolutely love THESE and THESE and I just ordered THESE. Happy Masking!!!!
You know the kind– the big, shiny sunglasses that will never go out of style. They are universally flattering, yet also mysterious. If you wear them in an airport, after a long flight, someone might ask you for your autograph!!!!
With these newest releases, Warby Parker has given a bevy of feminine acetate frames all the saturated color they deserve, with big tortoise shades and violet-tinted lenses. Other styles in the collection have gotten the same bigger-is-better treatment. They’ve punched up their flat-brow sunglasses for a retro 1970s look, and given some of them the layered treatment for additional panache.
Warby Parker has a variety of new frames for you that will make anyone feel fresh and revived, just like Spring flowers. I have highlighted some of the newer styles below. To “try on at home’ or for more information, click HERE.
