1. The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven. When I was first given this book, I scoffed at the non-fiction premise of a little boy (Alex) who spent time in Heaven while he laid in a coma for two months after a devastating car wreck. However, once I began reading it, I couldn't put it down. Not only is it an incredible, and very moving, true story--but it's one that really refreshed my perspective. Definitely a must read. Here is the website that explains a little more about the book and Alex's Journey (the coma, his health issues, being the first child to have the Christopher Reeve surgery, and his miraculous time in heaven).

2. Clarisonic. I know I've twittered about my clarisonic, but I've never blogged about it. I purchased mine this past August-ish... And I still love it. The Clarisonic removes 6x's more makeup than normal washing, reduces oily areas, dry patches and blemishes, annnnnd minimizes pores. It's portable (read easy to take in your gym bag or on a trip), it actually works--I love how SOFT my skin is after I use it, and i love how clean my skin gets when I use it--that way my Obagi Products (Vitamin C Serum/The Blender) seem to 'sink in' to my skin a lot better. I got mine at Sephora, I know they sell them at Von Maur, but you can learn all about the Clarisonic right here :)

3. Red Mango. I love Red Mango, I almost feel like I have a relationship with it--but when I say relationship I mean the "honeymoon phase" of a relationship where everything is PERFECT. There are currently 2 in my city. The first in One Pac (105th and Pacific) and the other in Legacy (168th-ish and Center)--and I have to say that One Pac is my favorite--mainly because the people who work there are AWESOME and my friend Laurel and I got a shout out on their facebook fan page : "

4. Frye Boots. If you know me you know that I am completely fascinated with cowboy boots...Why? I'm a Midwest girl, I don't have a horse (I would like one if anyone (hint, hint DAD) is looking for present ideas), and if there isn't snow on the ground (and I have a pedicure) I'm in flip flops. But there is just something so sexy to me about the right pair of cowboy or cowgirl boots with the right outfit, or with the right person wearing them... eg if Josh Groban wore them, I'd be drooling. I've been coveting a pair of Frye's for quite awhile, and I finally bought some. They are so comfortable, they are the perfect brownish blackish color, and, well, they're Fryes... I decided on the Harness Style because I felt they were more versatile and 'midwestern' than some of the other styles, plus they're a piece I know I'll have forever. :)
5. Turning Heads. I love getting my hair cut--I don't color it (gasp), I get it cut 3-4 times a year, and usually after the sun damage I get in the summer (if I'm not faithful about wearing my baseball cap when I run or go to the pool) I'll get regular conditioning treatments. A lot of people at school will ask where I get my hair done because they're not from Omaha, or where I would suggest for a facial, massage, shellac--and this is my go-to place for all things beauty. I go to Nikki for my hair who co-owns the salon with her mom, but I would trust anyone there, as would mom and dad (they've tried a few of the stylists)!!! One of my favorite things about Turning Heads are the monthly specials--these have allowed me to try so many of their great services at a fraction of the cost! Their newest endeavor is a tooth whitening system--which is what I want to try next. Bottom line, if you're looking for a new salon--give Turning Heads a try*--you'll love it! (*if you do try Turning Heads--they have a referral program (which I PROMISE I just noticed via their website) and I would love it if you'd mention that I sent you in!!!
What are your thoughts on my faves from this week? Any suggestions of places/things I should try for next week!?
