Weekend Rantings and Ravings...

My brain is shot...I just had one of the most emotional weekends of my life. Thanks Momma and Plaintiff!(grrr...)

Bullet points...is all I got yall:

-I just got stopped by Union Public Safety...for doing about three different things. And he wrote me a WARNING. God is SSOOOOOOO Good to ME!

-I have no edition of Weekend Cooking. I had no appetite and didn't cook anything. But I did decide to do a Mini Thanksgiving dinner at my casa for me and the kids. even though we will probably eat at my mom's too. Will list the menu once I decide.

-I did however rack up at the Hillcrest Goodwill. I'm talking about Banana Republic cardigans, Merona turtlenecks, an electric teapot, two pair of Old Navy jeans,a pair of yoga pants, a London Fog Vintage Windbreaker. I must visit them more often!

-I got a post for ya'll later on this week. A review on ID Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup. Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready!( Meet the Browns)

-The November 2007 of O magazine...so yummy...I got a list of things I must have...

-I spotted some Riedel O wine glasses at Stein Mart for 9.99. Why? Because one glass was missing. Yep...I got them!:)

Talk to ya'll later...be good and be prayerful!

From Edkerd to Rite Aid: Sale Haulage!

I'm protective about a drugstore.Like this whole Edkerds now Rite-Aid. We had Rite-Aids down here before and they didn't do no good. I remember one in Rock Hill that I used drive across town to get to. It's was all gated up with major cameras like somebody was going to jack it. But I went in one the other anyway...Edkerd, I mean Rite-Aid always has the up-to-date makeup goodies. I walked right into a clearance cart that had all this Booth's yumminess on it. I like Booth's Pomegranate Body Wash. So I scooped this products up all under 3.00. I already love and love the Fruit Enzyme Balance Toner. So hop by there and hunt down the clearance cart. I think that's popping off because of the change in companies and maybe they are not carrying certain products...



Does any remember Revco? lol!

The Good ,The Bad and The Mascara...

Hey cousins!! It's been the LONGEST WEEK OF MY LIFE...at work of course. I've been between three stores courtesy of"Le Lion". But getting paid in the process. I'm moving up like the Jeffersons' all the way to Salisbury NC! I popped in CVS to get the Bams their prerequisite Pull-ups and picked up Cover Girl Lash Exact. I had read a confusing( I didn't know if they were saying it was good or bad) review of it in Allure and decided to give it a try. Shoot...I needed mascara anyway.

The Good: It got that rubber brush that I love. And it a pretty shade of orange. Like a Creamsicle! Yum!

The Bad:It flakes, the brush is too big, the handle to long and the tube too big.

The Mascara: Stick with Lash Exact, Cover Girl.

Caution...

I got a pimple. Like a serious under my eye and its got looking like it want to show up to! I'm always surprised when I break out because I'm so tedious with my skin but I'm struggling on this one ya'll. I never have acne medication either. Because I never expect them. So I go a digging away in my little skin care box( It's little now compared to the past...) and found mark. Spots Away AM-PM Blemish Neutralizer. I dabbed the green tip on, let it dry and lightly patted the color around and on the pimple. It was a dream!! The camouflaging, of course. The green meds tip helps with downplaying the redness and color tip gives a little coverage. Now, I'm off to the drugstore to find some nighttime relief!

PS- If ya'll want to partake in this item, you'll have to do some serious searching. Its a discontinued mark. item. How special( Their good stuff always get discontinued...) :(
