J's Fall Reading List

I already have too much reading to do for work. People really don't think because you work at a library you don't read for enjoyment. That's what most of the people I work with do. I just finished reading The Last King of Scotland, preparing myself for the movie that's coming out soon. I'm reading my 2nd Greg Beherendt book and I'm going to donate,He's Just Not That Into You, to work because some woman's going to need to read it. I have a new list of personal things I want to read:

The Beautiful Fall:Lagerfeld,Saint Laurent, and The Glorious Excess of 1970s Paris by Alicia Drake -I saw this reviewed on Blogdorf Goodman and it been on my list read for awhile. I read A.L.T by Andre Leon Talley and his seventies adventures and I love it.

Chore Whore by Heather Howard -I was watching the Style Network last night and saw this author talking about her book and what inspired her to write it.


Confessions of A Beauty Editor by Linda Wells -I flipped through this on Saturday in B&N and was going to get it at 24.95 but decided that Amazon would probably be cheaper plus I love Allure mag!

Express Lane Meals by Rachael Ray -We got this at work and I've already checked it out.:)


Free With Purchase by Jean Godfrey-June -I know,I'm late on this one, but I going to get around to reading it.


Modern Girl's Guide to Motherhood by Jane Buckingham-I always need some help with dealing with being a mom and being a fabulous,chic mom.


What's on your list to read?

Weekend Fab!

I actually had Saturday off this weekend. I don't know how it happened, but I decided that Me time was in order. I needed it. Things that I did:


I wore Revlon Super Lustrous l/g in Glossy Rose by the advice of our Fair Glam Mama,Tia. Phenomenal. I layered it with my WnW 666 l/l. Worth every penny!!

I also pick up a new foundation. CoverGirl's Queen Collection in Soft Copper is a dead on match to my skin with great coverage...

Went to Tar-jay and got NYC LE Nail Glossies in Cognac Sparkle. Fall is in the Carolinas real major ladies...

Bought @ B&N, It's Called A Breakup Because It's Broken by Greg Behrendt. Same dude that wrote He's Just Not That In To You. He's a white boy dating genious!!

The shocking moment of trip to SPBG was finding Chloe Collection 2005 Eau de Toilette (above photo)at Marshall's for 19.99. When I say I chased this perfume DOWN last year only to never get it because it sold out everywhere and had to settle for a Ebay seller decant, I mean excitment was in the air in that store. I could not believe my eyes!!! I almost bought two bottles. PLUS I saw Stacked Style's Rococo Rouge and Baroque Blue for 9.99 a piece@ that same Marshalls!!!

Also got my first of my Robbing Ebay haul. KLS by Kimora Lee Simmons Highlighter Powder in Juicy Java. Rave, I mean Review later this week....:)

Have a great day!!

Super Rave:Flirt! and Grassroots @Kohls

On last Saturday,The "Beetlebats" and I ventured to Kohl's in Spartanburg.I have NEVA been I Kohl's fan.I used to live and work about 15 minutes from one in Pineville NC.I can't tell you the last time I went in one.But I had been hearing about this Flirt! line that they carry so I decided to make quick run in.My boys are not interested in makeup so my makeup/product trips are short and sweet with them. I pick up Flirt! Gold Star Limited Edition Lipgloss key ring in Nectar Fizz and Zippy Ginger. I've been wearing the Ginger as the base color and Nectar as the highlight. They are so pretty and fun.I did'nt put them on my keys though!I also got the Grassroots Moisterizer Duo in While You Were Sleeping(night)and Happily Ever After(day).Both .5 oz trial sizes,I'm in heaven with the While You Were Sleeping at night. The scent of Madgascan Vanilla and Siamese Bergamot is truly calming and soothing and texture soaks right in. After five days of use,I'm definetly getting a big tube of it! Happily Ever After is just as great, with a light texture and SPF 15 protection.Guess I'll see some more of Kohl's!!

Diary of a Nouveau Nappyhead Part VI

In Haywood Mall today,I also discovered a freestanding Aveda store.I squealed so loudly that the SA's in the store were staring at me when I walked in.I went in under my blogging muse,Julia, suggestion to pick up the Sap Moss Shampoo and Conditioner for my new natural.I so forgot how I love Aveda since I first stepped in the one in Pentagon City Mall in 1998. I got the Shampoo and Conditioner and a beautiful sister that smell like sandlewood with a big piece-y afro approved my choices and promptly sat me in a chair to massage my hair with Aveda Brillant Humectant Pomade and Light Elements Reviving Mist.My scalp tingled with delight and I promised her I'll be back for both products.I was amaze at the shine that both products produced and I still smell it at this 10:00 pm hour.The only thing that I'm mad at Aveda about is that they don't do the trial/travel sizes of the products anymore.That's how I got to know them! Oh well, just another adventure on the trail of nappyheadness!!
