Thursday Thanks

Style Shout Out to Thursday.  It's a great time to say thanks!

Today, like every day, I am grateful for my family, friends, health and happiness.  I have always been a person who focuses on gratitude and grace.  Since the tragedy in Japan I find myself even more aware of the importance of gratitude than I was before.

Today I am thankful for:

Companies like Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Gilt and Gap who have made donating to the relief efforts in Japan so easy.  And to the American Red Cross and Global Giving for their continued efforts to help those people in need in Japan.

Jimmy Fallon who has brought back the fine art of writing thank you notes!

Spring...although it feels like Summer here today.

Jennifer Aniston's new fragrance, available at Sephora, that reminds me of lazy days at the beach in Southern California.

Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer which makes me look like I had 10 hours of sleep when I didn't.

My daughter and her love of music which puts a smile on my face everyday.  I hope she put a smile on yours if you had the chance to read and listen to my "Gratitude" blog post.
