Living vicariously

I gave up buying makeup for Lent.  Big time sacrifice for me!!!

Best alternative....live vicariously thru my girlfriends. 

If I can't buy it, at least I can recommend products that I just adore to pieces!!!


Fav Beauty Product of the Week:  Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie

Budget friendly "SPANX"

Every girl needs to own a pair of Spanx.  It's that extra boost to look ultra fabulous in any thing you wear.  It creates smooth lines and gives you that extra bit of confidence because you know you look like perfection even though you may have _________ (skipped the gym that week/feel alittle bloated/bought a size a tiny bit too small/ex boyfriend will be at the event/ex boyfriend "new" stick skinny girlfriend will be at the party).  Whatever your reason to need to look extra hot in your outfit, Spanx can help. 

Kim Kardashian layers hers to look fabulous on the red carpet, why not me? 

Spanx is definitely an investment.  We all can't afford $75 for a pair.  But don't worry ladies, Sarah Blakely (creator of Spanx) has designed a budget friendly line of shapewear available at Target! 

Assets by Sarah Blakely are a budget-conscience girl's best friend. 

Wear you outfit without worrying about the dreaded panty line, muffin top, or sucking in!  Good luck ladies!!!

One Ziplock Rule

I am in favor of keeping the friendly blue skies safe and protecting us from another tradegy like 9/11....but why does my makeup have to suffer!  WHYYYYYYYYYYY?????????

I can NOT possibly fit all my makeup and skincare products into ONE tiny quart size ziplock bag.  It's like mission impossible.  Even just packing the basic necessities was a challenge.  I had to reduce my skincare products to just the BASICS.  Moisturizer, sunscreen and eye cream.  I didn't even pack my nighttime regime products.  What is a girl to do?!?!?

My solution....

I have like a gazillion brand new contact lense cases.  So the idea popped into my head.  Why can't I use them to store my creams instead of my contacts?  Problem solved!!!

I filled a few of them up with my makeup and skincare products instead of trying to cram my regular size jars and bottles in this tiny restrictive ziplock bag.  Voila!  It works perfectly!!!  It is large enough to hold a few days worth of moisturizer, night cream, eye cream, liquid foundation, and serum!!!  It's enough to get me thru the weekend without having to sacrifice my skin. 

Now I have several contact cases filled with my beloved skincare products with room to spare in my ziplock.  No need to panic about not having all my products and I avoid having to check in my bags at the airport!!  Double score. 


Enjoy your holiday weekend!!!

Mrs. O

I love the classic style of Jackie O and Michelle Obama.  Super chic and preppy style. 

And I totally admire the fact that the First Lady repeats outfits and mix & matches affordable pieces with expensive designer wear.  Bravo.  She just seems like a normal down 2 earth person, someone that I could be friends with. 

Mrs. O, you rock!

New heels.....

This may be tmi, but I have super rough heels from wearing sandals all the time.  I've tried everything to get rid of them.  Pumice stones, foot files, endless number of creams, oils, saran wrap, vaseline jelly, etc.  You get the picture! 

Finally, I found something that works.  And it works immediately.  One application at night and voila!  Smooth heels again!  I have to thank my Aunt Jenny for recommending it. 

You can find Organique Foot Cream By Himalaya @ Whole Foods.  It's $10.  Worth every penny.

F U C K tmobile!!

Omg! Seriously tmob!

My phone is barely 8 weeks old and the battery is apparently defective. Tmobile is gracious enough to recognize the product is defective and would gladly send me a replacement.....but guess who gets screwed with the shipping charges?!?!?!? ME!!!!!

Why the hell do I have to pay for shipping when the phone is clearly under warranty and the battery is wack? Fuck them and their shitty customer service.
