The Busy Bee In Me!

Monday, May 08, 2006

I've been crazy busy this past week but i have tons to tell ya! This week I bought wayyyyy to much makeup! Besides receiving a big haul of Mark products and I hit walgreens and edkerd on the Hillcrest /Converse Heights side of Spartanburg. The stores on that side of town seem to have better selections of my fav drugstore lines.
My mark haul:

Glow Baby Glow Luxe in Gold Luxe and Copper Luxe
Instant Vacation Desert Island Stick in St. Tropez,Ibiza,andCapri
Ibiza Glow Earrings in Silvertone and Goldtone
Instant Vacation in Pre Tanning Scrub and Post Tanning lotion(I won't use it what suppose to used for but it has a great smell)

Edkerd and Walgreens Haul:

Loreal Blush in Front Page Peach
Loreal Colour Juices in Golden Glaze,Rays of Copper,Nude Reflection,Twinkled Pink,Sunkissed Sienna, and Peachy Sheen
NYX Trio Shadows in TS09 and TS08

Whew! I also picked up the magazine Blueprint which is very cute. While in the 'Burg I went to Stein Mart. When I worked in Charlotte I never went in there because I didn't think it was my style. But I recieve a 20% clearance coupon in the mail and decided to go in plus i was looking for some earrings to go with a dress that I was wearing to The Ladies of Iris Cotillion on Saturday( Yes, a debutante ball and I was debutante back in 1995). What I found was a treasure of things!I got two handbags, Gucci II for 60%!,my boys some 7.50 RL Polo Shorts,and some really beautiful earrings for the ball. By the way the ball was fun I look pretty good.I used my Mally City Chick Smokey Eye Kit for an evening smoky eye.

I 've been downing Starbucks Doubleshots lately. For a little can they are1.99 and Walmart has a pack of 4 for 6.29. Fixes my Starbucks fix real quick!

This Weekend is Mother's Day and I got to find my mom amother's day gift. She's that woman that has everything. I just want money and maybe Sephora gift card.I got my Sephora Summer 2006 Catalog in the mail today and I will have a wish list for you tomorrow. Well I'm going partake in a romaine salad with roma tomatoes,feta, and honey balsamic dressing for dinner.


love ya'll!

77 degrees

Thursday, April 20, 2006

Yep.It's 77 degrees in April here in the SC and I am not looking forward to the hot ass summer ahead. Mainly because I have had the a/c in my 1994 Toyota Corolla fixed twice and it's still half ass working. I'm about to go and but me one of those $12,000 Scions at Dave Edwards Toyota. I know the a/c works in those.

Today i'm wearing Nivea Body Creme and Unforgiveable by Sean Combs. His cologne actually has a very sweet powdery underscent fit for a woman. I love it. My aunt who works at Belk gave me some samples and I'm going to get a bottle. For Real!


I tried the McDonald's New Asian Salad today. I actually wanted it because it comes with a yoga DVD but our Mickey D's won't have the DVD til the 25th. I'll be back on the 25th:). The salad is actually very good with crisp romaine and radicchio lettuce, snow peas and edamame, orange glazed chicken that's warmed and spicy( maybe a lil' too spicy) ginger dressing. I would suggest not so many edamame and tone down the dressing and it's cool. I really liked it though. I'm big on salad.

I placed a Sephora order last night.I needed it. My boys have had a stomach virus since last saturday so I needed a retail pick me up! I got Carol's Daughter Esctacy Eau de toilette and Smashbox Lip Exfoilant. I really miss the Sephora store in SouthPark. They knew me by name:)

Well, I off to CVS and work.


love,

Life....man....

Monday, April 17, 2006

Life.Is there really a time when you think your life is really going well?Well,If you got anxiety and previous depression problems like me it seems that it never will regardless of that which is good is going on. My anxiety is somewhat ridiculous but not an everyday occurance. And I'm always on the contast battle to fight getting depressed again. somedays I feel that dark cloud of overwhelming sadness come over me. When I do I reach for list of things to conquer so I can see the sun again. I literally have list from change toenail polish to go get aMCD's Yogurt Parfait to pop in a Madea play DVD.I'm one of these woman,unfortunately that doesn't want people to know i'm down or things are going on so tend hide it behind clothes and smile. But it doesn't work any more. I know God thinks I lot of me becauseI'm constantly walking through some storm. So if you see me in a full face of makeup, with a over the top outfit and high pitched voice, I ain't okay. Help me.:)
