hydrangea housewife

One of the best parts of North Carolina is the beautiful hydrangeas everywhere. Almost every house has a huge, blooming bush gracing its front yard. I personally really like the light blue ones, but all the different shades of pinks, purples and blues are so beautiful.

Hydrangeas always remind me of Bree Van De Kamp from Desperate Housewives and her beautiful yard...

Ironically enough, I snapped a few pictures driving down Fairview Road today.... Anyone else missing Desperate Housewives? :) Speaking of Desperate Housewives, it seems like half of the cast is on the new show Dallas on TNT, which I'm already hooked on of course. It doesn't take much, I am well aware that I have pretty poor taste when it comes to television shows, (ahem, dad) but I do think this one's going to be a good one!

And if this isn't the cutest little care package, I don't know what is!

Julie sent me my favorite nail polish and my favorite facial cleanser and toner! It may not be fall yet, but it doesn't have to be for me to enjoy the yummy pumpkin scent these two have. I just learned that during summertime, it is recommended to refrigerate the toner and use it for a cooling effect - you better believe mine is already in the fridge! I don't have any of these things with me in Raleigh, so this was such a sweet surprise; made my day, thanks sister!
