Coming Soon...

I'll be back on Friday...Today was one of those days... Let's list the bad and good!

Bad-Well, you know every 28 days... and I was cold in that store and my manager wouldn't let me put on my hoodie because there were "corporate" peeps down from Salisbury for inventory. Whatev. You let me wear it any other day!! That dang Le Lion!

Bad-Then my appetite is null. Between those 28 days and being on budget., I don't know what to eat!

Bad-Lemming magazines, makeup, Sephora OPI nail polish, Ojon hair stuff, a Ipod but I got bills and two children who are turning 4 on next Monday. So, Boo to me...

Bad-I miss my cable. I turned it off til' I get my budget right. My electric bill is killing me.

Bad-I didn't see my "dimpled sunshine" today. He didn't have to come because of the inventory in the store. *sigh*

The Good- The weather is turning cool. It was 72 degrees today!

Good- God is good!!!

Good-Even though I got mad financial things to take care of I got paid today. So the blessing employment is beautiful.

Good-My aunt Maxine sent me a pair of Nike Shox. I haven't had a real pair of sneakers since 1999. I take pic and ya'll give me some suggestions on what to rock...

Going eating now...:)

Pangea Organics now on HSN!!!...

If you ever used any Pangea Organics products, you'll be craving for more. They once sent me a cleanser and toner that I loved but I've only seen the product in Earth Fare and Whole Foods. But now you can get it online at HSN, too.And you know how the deals roll over there. They have the Pyrenees Lavender and Shower Gel and Soap Set ( which is insane-ly sexy, if you like lavender, like me)for only 12.99!!!

*plotting to put on my birthday list*.

Review:United Colors Of Benetton For Her...

I haven't bought a fragrance all summer...I don't think. Wait!I did bought Calvin Klein IN2U. But that just goes to show my point. As much as a love perfume, its not a great financial decision for me. For example, I buy a $60 scent. I'll wear once or twice then I'm back to what I already have. Then, the season changes and I pack it away with the others. So I feel like I don't get my money's worth if its not something I wear alot. I don't have a signature scent. I change it up too much for that. And that IN2U scent? The last time I wore it was when I blogged on it.

But, I'm always looking for scents for a new season. So, when I ran up on United Colors Of Benetton for Women for $25, I copped it. $25 bones is good and it smells wonderful! The notes are neroli, mandarian, hawthorn, cotton blossom( which must be the top note), white musk, and coconut absolute.

I reminded me of two things:

1)I have an aunt who lives in New York, came down south one winter and brought a huge oversized rainbow colored United Colors Of Benetton sweater with Benetton red straight leg jeans for me as Christmas present.Of course I knew what Benetton was...I had been reading Seventeen and Sassy!

2) I used to date this guy named James AKA "JP" who smelled like Snuggle fabric softener and baby powder. He was delicious.:)

I plan on getting the UCOB Unisex scent too...:)

Beauty Dilemma:What I Should've Done?...

Yesterday, I went to Kohl's, just getting a little retail therapy in.I had one of my irritating days at the Le Lion. I was browsing around the cosmetics area and ended up over in the Flirt! near the foundation and lipsticks. There was a sista(African-American woman, lol!) over there with me. She had a little girl in a stroller and she was trying to find a foundation or powder and she kept mumbling to herself or to her little girl about how she didn't know what she was doing.

So, here I am standing there in a Food Lion polo and khakis, not looking like I work there.I looked around and saw that SA was ringing someone up at the register.Although I wanted to, I didn't help the sista. I felt,first, like I would come off as a know-it-all in Food Lion polo shirt. Sistas, well, women overall in the Upstate are kinda standoffish to be southern women. You don't know if to speak or not. You might the cold shoulder or worse!.

Then, of course, I don't work there. So many, many, many times in the past, I have been used for my makeup and fashion capabilities and either been underpaid and not paid at all. Everytime, I would go somewhere with my friends or co-workers I would become the "expert" on everything and got no shopping for myself!! After a while it gets old and you feel like that's the only reason you are there in the mix.And I feel like I have to the experience and knowledge to command to be compensated for what I do. Done with that! (snaps)

So, here come the salesperson, trying to help. I walked away but I felt, little bad. Should I've helped her or did do the right thing and stayed in my lane?
