My Dearest Tory Burch

I am writing to you today, with a urgent request.
I am begging you to stop designing such irresistible shoes.
You continue to do this to me, season after season.
You must realize I am not made of money, yet you behave as I am?
Each season, you design a shoe or two that takes my breath away.
A shoe, I dream of, and my closet yearns for, a shoe I NEED in my life!
A shoe I simply must purchase.... You see I have no choice.
It is becoming quite a problem so I'd appreicate if you would consider my request.
If you could even just take a season or two off, I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks for your consideration.

Your Loyal Fan,

xoxo

Laundry... not so glamorous! But so necessary

I have shared how to keep whites white before. But I recently discovered a new way and I am very intrigued!

Mix one part Dawn dish washing liquid (the plain old blue kind, in the big bottle that usually sits on your sink), with two parts hydrogen peroxide (available at any drug store), pour it directly on the stain, and watch it disappear like MAGIC. If it's a big stain, as was the case with my dress, you can mix the same equation and add it to a bucket of hot water and just dunk the entire garment in there. When I first set up the little stain removal lab in my kitchen, I was hesitant but figured things couldn't get any worse, so I just crossed my fingers, closed my eyes, and dropped the whole thing in there. When it emerged sparkling clean, I tore through my closet like a madwoman in search of stained items I hadn't had the heart to throw away. And it worked on every single one of them: chocolate, red wine, barbecue sauce, etc.

Youngblood Cosmetics

2011-12-22T13:59:00.000-08:00

Something just happened to me overnight..
All my life I had oily skin, then pouf it was gone and now it is DRY!!!
My lips too, they are shrinking before my eyes.
At least my vision is going too so maybe I won't even notice much longer (hehehe).
So when Youngblood offered to send me some of their mineral beauty products.. I was all over that ;)

Ladies, Their moisturizing tint rocks! It is my new favorite beauty product!
It is a tinted moisturizer so it gives you light coverage to even out your skin,
but the thing I love so much is it gives you a little glow too!
Makes me look more fresh faced.
I actually had a friend comment about it yesterday...
Of course, I told her it was my natural beauty, and she had just forgotten since she hadn't seen me for awhile ;) (hehehe)

Now on to the gloss. It gives you the lip plumping effect with out the stingy filling.
I am using the champagne color (did someone say champagne??).
It is a gorgeous neutral that would probably work on most skin tones.
I need all the plumping I can get (naturally)! No injections for this girl.

Lastly they send me a intense color eyeliner.
I haven't worn this much yet, but the pigment is great and color doesn't wear off easily, which is very important with eyeliners. Nothing is worse then a smudgy eyeliner, ugh.

I'd check them out, if you are in the market for mineral make-up,
especially the Mineral Radiance Moisturizing Tint!

So Q-Tips just came out with new Precison Tips. I think they read my mind.

I used to strip down my Q-Tips for special jobs....

1. Dip them in your eyeshadow, throw in a baggy and take them with you! If you need an emergency fresh up you'll be ready!

2, I don't know about you but when I paint my nails... I get a lot on my skin, now I can carefully remove it with out messing up the entire nail.

3. Lastly for those mascara oops tip a precision Q-Tip in Vaseline and you'll be able to carefully remove the smudge!

Who doesn't love Vaseline it is something we have all probably had in own homes since we were little kids.. right?

Some of my favorite uses for Vaseline:

#1 Lips my kiddos get chapped lips in the winter and during santa anna winds. They don't like any of hte medicated lip goodies "they Sting". So Vaseline is perfect for them! Also a good "lipstick" for young girls that want to wear "make-up" as it gives off a little shine!

#2 Have an older beak-up or broken lipstick? Mix it with some Vaseline Lip Therapy and make a little lip gloss!

#3 Eye make-up remover. Enough said...

#4 I just learned this last one and I LOVE it.. I got my make-up done yesterday when I was in Orange County. The make-up artist told me to add a little to the apples of my cheeks it give a little glow.

Totally cool, right?
