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.

Nordstroms Makeup Event

What a fun day at Nordstrom's Beauty Event with my friend Kristina!! 

Super fun day filled with all things makeup and freebies. 

I had my face made up at Bobbi Brown counter and I LOVE how my smokey eye turned out. 
Here is a picture of my makeup.  (Please excuse my oily complexion.  It's been a few hours since I left Nordstrom's.) 

What I had done:
The "Bobbi Brown" smokey eye is dramatic enough for daytime wear without looking like a street walker.  Loved the colors used. 

             On my eyes:  Galaxy cream shadow (lash line to crease), Caviar shadow (used to smudge out liner), and Black Ink gel liner.  Party Extreme mascara in Black. 

And if that wasn't enough.  The day gets even better!!!

I also picked up a few freebies courtesy of Clarisonic.  The Clarisonic Rep gave me a free travel bag and two replacements heads just because I told them I blogged about my love for my Mia!  Thank you Clarisonic!   And of course Don is excited because that saved his wallet $50.  hahaha  Good day. 

And the cherry on top.....my Ebay purchase arrived from South Korea. 

My first BB cream just arrived from South Korea!!!  I ordered mine off of Ebay from rubyruby76.  (BEWARE....there are a lot of fake BB creams out there, so please check ratings and feedback if you are going to order it from Ebay)

What is BB cream?  IDK, but I had to have it.  It is a cult fav among Korean celebrities and I just had to try it. 

It claims to be a tinted moisturizer that helps with evening out your skin tone, brightens and minimizes blemishes.  And added bonus, it has SPF.  Check out the product details at http://www.skin79usa.com/index.php/skin-care/bb-cream/skin79-super-plus-bb-cream-triple-functions.html. 

I'll update on my experience with the BB cream in a few weeks.  (Super excited to try it!!!)
To be continued.....

Is the grass greener on the other side?

Looking around, I some times feel as though things would be better if I did this or that, or if I changed something major. My mind drifts off in daydream, thinking about what ifs.

But then, snap! Reality hits like a freight train.

I should appreciate the goodness I have and stop with the daydreaming. Because sometimes things appear better (ie BEER goggles on), but in reality when the luster wears off, you're stuck with something way shittier.

And I hate grass, so who cares if it's greener on the other side. Lol
