Well, I’m always up for a good reason to buy something pink..you know, like if it’s a Monday, or I feel like a girly girl purchase….October being Breast Cancer awareness just makes buying things in pink seem much more purposeful!!! I love the planners, they are adorable…I could use one of those..maybe it would help me stay a little more *ahem* organized…does it actually find all the information and put it in itself though??? LOL!!!! Great picks for October!!!

I wish I could afford the LaMer, but I will definitely take the OKA b. shoes! I love the massage beads, they look so comfy… Great roundup though, I really don’t know where to start!
