Dove Go Fresh

I'm so excited introduce my Rural Glamour readers to Dove Fresh Takes starting my Soror Alicia Keys!!! The "minisodes" are super fun and relatable to our everyday lives as women in our twenties. Now, I'm not in my twenties anymore:) but loved each episode and Ms. Keys is definitely holding her own.

“I am so excited to be starring in ‘Fresh Takes’ created by Dove go fresh because it puts the pressures that I deal with every day in a new light and opens my eyes to the reality that I can be successful in many different ways and have every reason to feel beautiful right now,” says Keys. “I hope the series inspires other 20-somethings to get a fresh take on the pressures in their lives and start enjoying the ride.”

My favorite minisode: Who's Your Mama...lol!

Super Rave!: Pop Beauty Mini Ribbon Gloss

Thursday, April 17, 2008

I'll be short and sweet...the kids are hungry and I am too!

Pop Beauty Mini Ribbon Gloss in Honeysuckle Bronze is super gloss that I'm loving right now. I actually don't use one color. I started with the dark bronze, then the copper and topped it off with the light caramel. Beautiful!!

Best Makeup Tip I Ever Read...for now:)

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

I never been a fan of eyeliner. It makes my eyes smaller. But over the last couple the months I've found out that I can't do the whole eye lined but just the top lid. Hurdle #1 accomplished.

Then I had to find an eyeliner that consistency I liked. Eyeliner pencils looked to smugy and just couldn't master that liquid liner mess. Grrrr! But, I am not one to give up...on makeup( ex: false eyelashes). But then I found Precious and Makeup and it was a done deal.

She gives the best makeup advice on her Beauty Blog Network Page...


"Favorite Makeup Tip
New to liquid eyeliner? First, line your eyes with a regular pencil eyeliner and then, trace over the pencil liner with a liquid liner. "

I tried this with hope and faith...and Tarte liner and a Mark Kohl liner in both black and it works like a charm!!

Check out my FOTD from today...ah, bliss. Thanks Precious!

Monday's Question?

Tuesday, April 15, 2008

There are days I still ask myself why am I still in Hometown. Four years ago, it was an everyday question that consumed me but now I see God's beautiful plan. I don't worry as much, very little actually about still being back home, it's working for my good. But TODAY I had to ask?

Why am I still in Hometown?!

I went to Sal and ran up on some books for the kids, another vintage purse and these earrings for .10 a piece. This a pic withou the flash so ya'll can see the cool lines in the white and blue pair.

I wore the blue ones today. I love them. I felt so my Momma circa1983. Good buys and things at the Sal that other people would realize as vintage fabulousness...plus for hometown....

Then the kids and I went to a certain store ( no names mentioned) that has the hot updated magazines and that's basically only reason why I go but lately they got these $1.00 pack of Brazilian coffee that tastes like that Starbucks Espresso Roast that love. So, we go to get some and coffee creamer. I pick up a coffee creamer and for some reason check the date on it. 11/04/07. Way out of date...but usable. I take it up to register and ask the cashier if I could talk to a manager about getting this out-of date creamer reduced. Hell, I'll buy it. It's 1.99, mark it down to .99. The "manager" refused citing that she can't do "markdowns.

Whatever. I don't want it. But ya'll need to pull the rest off the shelf. And I had another cashier do it for me BEFORE. Check that too.

That was some ole' Hometown stuff there. I guarantee its still there. I'm done with that place. They won't lose no money behind me leaving no way.

Negative for Hometown.

Then...the kids and I go CVS for prescriptions and just wasting time. The boys love CVS. They way too big for a shopping cart so they get walk around...well, straight to the candy section and aisle. The CVS' here have these markdown shopping carts full of goodies. The first one I dig into has these ROC Daily Microdemabrasion Cleansing Disks that Glam Mom Tia was posted about a week or two ago. And you are not seeing things, lovelies...the price on the side 2.50 is correct. I got them for 2.50. Un opened and everything.

I would not have found that deal in the 'Burg or the QC, man.

Hometown positive...sales @ CVS markdown buggies.

I still don't have the answer to the question. Maybe because I get good deals? lol!
