 Vintage Olympic Tees, $30, Gap

 Since the 2012 London Olympic Games are in a mere ten days, I thought it would be
appropiate to get in the spirit.

First Thoughts: Ole Henriksen Anti-Aging Kit

I've been noticing a few lines start to form under my eyes, not doubt due to my years of refusing to wear glasses.  When it came time to purchase face wash, I decided to try some anti-aging products.  While at Sephora, I came across this Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Anti-Aging kit.  I have done some research in the past on anti-aging skincare lines, and this one came very highly recommended.  Since it was on sale, I figured why not.

Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Anti-Aging Kit, $68, DermStore

 This kit holds two month's worth of the following products:

• Foaming Face Wash, 2x a day


• Face Mist, 2x a day, can also use when you need "refreshing"


• Moisturizing face mask, 2x a week


• Eye cream, 2X a day


• Face scrub, 2-3x a week


• Moisturizer, 1x a day

So far, I've used everything in this kit other than the scrub.  Following the directions given to the letter, my absolute first thought is: "Damn, my face is greasy."  Like Valdez and the BP oil spill put together oily.  It's somewhat uncomfortable.  I have only been using the products since Friday night, but other than the greasiness, they're not bad.  The foaming fash wash makes my skin feel so incredibly soft.  I'm not getting the point of the facial mist, though.  I know it's a toner, but spraying it on your face is very awkward and it stings (the package says it will tingle).  I must say, though, that my skin looks bright and alive, so I'm excited to keep using it to see if it will help with my under-eye lines.

First Thoughts is a new series of posts that detail new products I'm using and my intial reactions to them.

I saw the Wes Anderson movie Moonrise Kingdom and am pretty obessed with the overall look of the movie.

 A-Line Ultimate Double Weave Mini Skirt, $60, Express

This reminds me of something Suzy might have worn in the movie.  This skirt also comes in black and camel, but I feel
the orange is not only perfect for late summer, but would be great to pair with tights in the fall.

If you're going to wear a color this bold, keep the rest of your outfit neutral to let the color really pop.
