Laborious Day...

I must say Soror Star is looking divine at P.Diddy's White Party this Laborious Day Weekend. Why Laborious Day? I worked this morning and I'm busted. I picked up the new InStyle and a six of Stella Artois( Thanks "Headz of the Familyz"!) and I'm going put the bams to bed and relax. Have a great day everyone!!

Things That Happen After Payday...

Hey folk,

On Wednesday I went to pick up my Avon order at Linda's.I had forgot what I ordered so when open the bag it had a 4-piece Imari Set, the Avon SpaFinder Color Orbs, and to makeup set, The Brights Collection and The Neutral Collection. I didn't have to even open the makeup to realize I didn't want it. It was very summer and working on winter stuff now since September is around the bend. So, I went and exchanged the makeup for this, The Jillian Dempsey Mother's Day Collection. I'm alot happier with it...





In other buys...I picked up these really fun and fall/winter like Maybelline nail colors from their new fall color story @ Rite-Aid/Edkerd. All the Maybelline was 40% and I had three coupons for a $1 each on nail lacquers.

On that same Wednesday, I spent $30 at Starbucks. You ask how? I got my Ethopia Sidamo and Sulawasi coffees custom blended for my $10 coffee maker (lol!), a grande soy chai latte iced with extra ice, and this CD, Heart, Body and Soul, which is so sexy and sweet, you must get it. The barista told me said its been flying out there since they stocked it on Monday.

Of course I still have the "plague" and suddenly the plague has now changed into sore throat and sticky mouth. I pulled my Glenn Barr Hint Mints case out of my pocket yesterday at work and my boss almost knocked it out of my hands, checking out the cool artwork on the front. Plus, they are not sizzling hot in my mouth and comforting to throat. They will definitely travel with me to church, so I wont be rattling peppermint candy paper while reading the Responsive Reading!

Have a great holiday weekend for Laborious Day, that's what I call it. I'll probably be working anyway...:(

Summer Cold...

I'm so mad because I have a summer cold or allergies or sinus problems. Hell, I can't point it out because I'm not a doctor, and I'm mad about it and the symptoms change by the hour. I went to work today felt fine, I guess because I was on my feet doing stuff but soon as I got home, the plague came back.Ugh!

Last night I out some work into the getting rid of the plague. What should have been an enjoyable night of German Chocolate Cake and a glass of Riesling from The Fresh Market was not. I couldn't smell and my nose was leaking and I felt like I was still hungry from dinner, maybe because I couldn't taste nothing.I'd picked up my order from Linda's Avon earlier and decided to run a bath and use my Avon SpaFinder Floating Color Orb. They are so relaxing, a great alternative to using candles and they looked gorgeous in a sea of bubbles from Johnson and Johnson Softwash Melt Away Stress Bath Wash. It provided some relief. That bath and a Benedryl.



This is why I need me a "friend" to take care of me.:)

Beauty Find of the Day!!!

The Sephora Star Struck Palette is one of my favorite palettes on this planet. It was a seriously hot seller when it first came out. Mally Roncal put it together with her muse for the colors being Beyonce. I was in Union and couldn't get to Sephora Southpark for a week. So I called the store and they only had one. They promptly shipped it to me with free shipping. And since 2005, I have been constantly defining a look I like out of the palette. I'm palette freak, what can I say? I wore it today to church...I was thinking about it all service long. Then I get online, and they don't sell it anymore:)

Anybody else got this or have favorite palettes?

Things I've learned in beauty and fashion from one hot ass summer...

First...

We finally got some good rain, a really good downpour. It was so pretty and now its sweltering...

I thought I would write on this subject "Things I've Learned From One Hot Ass Summer Beauty/Fashion Edition" The "Personal Edition"...I think I might blog about on my MySpace.:) But Anyways here we go!!:

1) Stock up on everything skin and body care related at the beginning of the summer or spring...so that in the event of financial disarray, you won't be using samples of moisturizer because you can't afford to go and get what you normally use.

I swear, I ran out of everything in the mist of moving into my house and changing jobs and stupid gas prices. I literally spent my beauty budget on gas driving up and down Hwy 176 to the 'burg to work. Next Spring, matter of fact, this fall, I'm stocking up for the winter, just in case poverty wants to punch me in the face again and I'm using synthetic cotton balls and generic deodorant.

2)Sunglasses, Sunglasses, Sunglasses. Saved my life. I wasn't squinting or rubbing my eyes this summer because I learned the art of keeping my shades on.

3)Don't miss out because you live in the woods.

I've missed an entire summer of fragrances, MAC releases, clothing releases( such as SJP's Bitten) because I live in the country and hate driving an hour sometimes two to get to the goodies. This has been my insane plight for three years I've been here( the inspiration behind City-itis) I now start to embrace adventure even if I'm tired and financially strapped. Hell, I "window shopped" when I lived in the Rock, stayed in the mall, and I was never bother if could buy something.

4)Pairing down your wardrobe might not be a good idea...

I hate having a closet full of clothes I don't wear. So I went on a rampage and threw out and gave away half of my wardrobe, leaving me with virtually nothing. Now I feel like I have nothing to wear.

5) I do look good in:

Bracelets( the chunkier the better)
the color yellow
Red Nail polish
black eyeliner.


What did you learn this summer in beauty and fashion?
