Going on Holiday

Leave a comment

The day I’ve been waiting for is nearly here. Starting Sunday, my boyfriend and I are going on holiday for five whole nights and six whole days. The beach! I’m not bringing my computer… I may not even turn on my phone… There could be a sporadic post but honestly I doubt it. I do hope you’ll come back upon my return – Monday 9/13. I’ll leave you with some goodies while I’m gone. Have a lovely holiday weekend!

In case you’ve missed

The Week’s End

Leave a comment

I love, love, love this photo. It’s been a rough week, don’t we all deserve a weekend? The weather should be beautiful and even though it’s hot, it’s still Summer! I have a friend’s birthday to celebrate, dinners to go to, a house to fix up and plenty of New Orleans music to listen to as Sunday is the 5th anniversary of Katrina. It’s hard to believe! I flew out on the very last flight. The Saints were on my plane…

I hope you have a wonderful weekend with at least a little celebration.

The first day of the weekend

5 Comments

Hello there. Doesn’t Thursday always feel like the beginning of the weekend? No matter how much you must accomplish before Friday evening, when it officially commences? It’s always a wash of relief to wake up and know it’s Thursday. There are four full days before Monday comes round again.

This weekend is particularly exciting for me because Saturday is my birthday. It’s always lovely when your birthday falls on the weekend, particularly Saturday. You can compel your friends and loved ones to celebrate Thurs. night straight through Sunday morning. That’s what I plan to do…per usual. I still get very excited about birthdays. What’s not to love about an occasion to celebrate, where everyone you care about feels obliged to make you feel special?

Fortunately, I already feel special. Hope you do too…on your birthday and always.

The week is half over! Thank goodness…I hate to wish away summer days that are so fleeting, but sometimes RuPaul comes to visit and the weeks just draaag. That’s a little cubicle humor for you. And now…some cupcake porn a la Bliss Cupcakes right here in Fayetteville.

Happy Wednesday loves!

Weekly Wish: gold lamé

Gold Lamé polish. Not lame at all, wouldn’t this polish be divine for end-of-summer soirées?. I adore gold lamé, I have a vintage gold lamé skirt passed down from my mama that I’m looking forward to busting out come fall.

…still loving Robin’s Egg/ Tiffany blue polish.

A Holiday

Leave a comment

We booked a trip to the beach! My first holiday with my wonderful beau. I can’t wait to put my feet in the sand. Much to come about outfit preparation…

For now, I’m just giddy and smiling about a week off and lots of sun/kisses/relaxation.

Below is where we are going!

Silver Lining

Liquiline Blast Eyeliner

I don’t often blog about my work, although it does find its way in. But, the beauty “expert” that I’d like to be compels me to brag on Cover Girl‘s latest and greatest. The new CG LiquilineBlast Eyeliner is the best I have EVER TRIED. It goes on like liquid but can be sharpened with a pencil sharpener. I’m obsessed with it and own it in every shade (there are 6) plus I am NOT being paid to write this!

Reasons why:

I love brown liner but it never stays on my lids! This does! Look for Brown Blaze (Shade 420)

I love any beauty product that out-performs the price I pay for it. At WalMart, it’s under $8!

It’s waterproof and all the colors are very bold.
