Newest member of the Zodiac - Ophiuchus

13th Zodiac sign, Ophiuchus,  Nov. 29-Dec. 17
Wow. Where do I start? First, the correct pronunciation is OFF-ee-YOO-kuss, and apparently, we have all been reading the wrong horoscope for the last 2000 years. The Babylonian's only wanted 12 signs in a year, and judging from the picture I can see why.

Which leads to my next point. How happy am I that I wasn't born between Nov. 29th and Dec. 17th?! I wouldn't be too comfortable being represented by a clothing optional serpent tamer (although some would say that's pretty accurate). Those less shallow than me will be thrilled to find their new sign represents healing, enlightenment, medicine and higher education. It has also been associated with black holes, but lets not dwell on the negative.

For those of you who are interested in knowing which horoscope to read from now on, I have found the updated dates of the astrological signs.

Capricorn: Jan. 20-Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 16-March 11
Pisces: March 11-April 18
Aries: April 18-May 13
Taurus: May 13-June 21
Gemini: June 21-July 20
Cancer: July 20-Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10-Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16-Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30-Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 23-29
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29-Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17-Jan. 20

This whole thing begs the question, where would you be if you had been reading the right horoscope all along? My answer, in the same place you are now, we are all exactly where we are supposed to be.

What I'm obsessed with today

DeLonghi EC702 Espresso Maker
Jane Iredale Eye Highlighter Pencil, $15
If your morning has been anything like mine, these 2 things will be your saving grace. Nothing gets me moving like a cup of espresso. I love my espresso machine! It saves me time and money, two things I never seem to have enough of! 

Coffee in hand I head upstairs to do my make up. I put a little white highlighter on my waterline to brighten up my eyes and make it appear as though I'm actually awake! 

Check out the "Where to Buy" page for info on these and all the other products mentioned in this blog.

What I'm obsessed with today

Today is one of those days where I want to look cute but I don't have the energy to put together a whole look. 

I love the Juicy Couture Long Smocked Terry Dress ($178, www.shopbop.com). I can throw it on with a pair of sandals, pull my hair into a ponytail, throw on some hoop earrings and I'm out the door. I grab a Juicy Terry Hoodie in case it get's chilly and I'm ready to go. And it's so comfortable, I feel like I'm in my pajamas all day!

I love this for travel too. You can wear it on the plane, to the beach or pair it up with some metallic sandals and delicate jewelry and you're ready for a night out.

Beckham's are expecting baby no. 4!

David and Victoria Beckham will be welcoming baby no. 4 this summer. 

The couple, parents to Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5 1/2, do not yet know if they will be adding a boy or girl to their growing brood. Either way, that baby will be gorgeous! 

No possible baby names yet, any ideas?
