A Few Things Friday

This week…. GAH. That’s all I can say.  That and I am ready for the weekend and some serious sweatpants/couch time.  But when am I not?

Let’s get crackin.

1.  It finally happened.

I mean, it was destined to eventually… But yesterday I made a quick trip to Ulta on my lunch break and something took over my body and I just couldn’t refuse.  And let me tell you, I am already in love with this palette.  If you’re a neutrals gal like myself, this is a must-have.  Every color is so pretty, and true to the Urban Decay product, pigmented and goes on like a dream.  I also picked up a few new Real Techniques brushes and a NYX eyeliner in the most obnoxious sparkly teal green ever and I might just wear it around my house all weekend.

2.  I took Macky on his first little mini-hike yesterday down at our park, and he was in doggy heaven.  Except when we got down to the water and there was some out of control family throwing rocks and screaming and letting their crazy dogs run shit.  Who are these people?  I know it’s like public property and all, but can’t you see I’m trying to have a photo shoot with my pup???  Geez.

If you look closely you can see the terror behind those caramel eyes.

3.  I know I talk about it every week, but um… NASHVILLE!! *SQUEAL*

I mean, this week’s episode was all kinds of amazing, I won’t give too much away if you haven’t watched it (or just don’t care) but so. many. things.  Also, Deacon. Swoon.

4.  Is the Bachelorette really starting already?? I just saw a preview of it last night and I feel like I just finished watching Sean bore me to tears every week except for when his shirt was off.  I’m not sure if I can watch “Dez” for an entire season, but let’s be real, it’s summer and there’s nothing else on and I am a sucker for crappy reality tv.  So let’s all just embrace it together, ok?  Ok.

5.  I completely forgot that it’s almost Cinco De Mayo, but it’s like my internal clock was telling me something because for the last week I’ve been craving chips and guac like no one’s business.  But like the endless basket of chips that you know were fried in oil that hasn’t been changed in years and served with a vat of the most cilantro-ey salsa you could dream of.  So I’m dragging Brandon out tonight and I *think* there might be a Mariachi band there!! It’s the simple pleasures.

Have a great weekend you guys! xoxo

April Beauty Favorites

Well hello, there.

april favorites

It’s already time for April Favorites, and I’m not sure where this year is going.  It’s like.. May(ish.)  MAY!  It’s also the time where my mom’s birthday, dad’s birthday, father’s day and mother’s day all clump into one big cluster of gifts and cards, but my parents are pretty amazing so I try not to complain.

But you know this means I have to buckle down on my own personal shopping.. which… uhhh…

Didn’t happen this month.

april favorites lips

To be fair, only one of these lip products is new.

milani pink punch

And it’s SO PRETTY!! Milani’s Fruit Punch has been my obsession lately, it is the most perfect Barbie pink color, and it smells like watermelons.  Perfection for springtime, and I love love love it.  Holler at your drugstore lipsticks.

The rest of the lip products got cut off (womp womp), but all I will say is I was a big hater on the NYX Megashine lipgloss when I first got it, and now I’m a believer.  This color is “beige”, except you and I both know it’s actually pink.  But it’s a lovely shade of blush/nude, and it’s great for days when you just want a kiss of color and not the full monty.

Two of these products are newbies: The Wet’n'Wild eye shadow trio (in Walking on Eggshells) and the Rimmel Scandal Eyes liner in Nude.  This trio is amazing for a neutral eye look, and the crease and lid colors blend beautifully.  The Rimmel eyeliner has been strictly for lining my waterline (how many times can I say “line” in one sentence…) but it has been CRUCIAL during this pesky allergy season.  I feel like an extra on Half Baked with all the Visine I’ve been pouring into my eyeballs.

To check out the rest, click to watch this month’s video!

Don’t forget to leave me a comment and let me know what some of your favorites were this month!  And let me know if you’d like to see a non-beauty favorites post/video like the ones I’ve done in the past. I’m not sure those are as exciting, but I have a few rando things I’ve been loving lately that don’t come in a shiny package or smell like candy.

…Or do they?

A Few Things Friday

Hey guys, sorry I’m all MIA and whatnot lately (I’m sure it’s really making your days hard to get through), but as usual, work has been crazytown lately and I’ve managed to neglect my sweet little blog again.  I got to fly in one of our client’s private jets again yesterday though (which was super fun but also super terrifying- hello turbulence) but it was to North Carolina and back and then a 2 hour drive home, all in one day.  Let’s just say I’m not operating on all four cylinders today.  (Oh, I know, waaahh poor me.  Let me feel cool for a second, ok??)

So without further ado:

1.  I woke up this morning to find the left side of my closet had literally collapsed.  Not like.. the walls, but the entire bar that holds 70% of my hanging clothing and about 50% of my shoes.  Imagine my surprise. Like getting ready in the morning doesn’t already take me long enough, today I had to sift through wrinkled piles of dresses and random heels to figure out what didn’t have plaster on it.  I don’t know if this means I need to upgrade my closet or downgrade my wardrobe.  Brandon has a very clear answer on that one though, that I can be sure of.

2.  So if you’re obsessed with Nashville like I am, then you probably know that all the characters like actually sing the songs and stuff.  I’m sure with a little bit of help, but hey, who doesn’t get that these days.  ANYWHO, I just discovered that those adorable little sisters I was going on about last week… get this… are ACTUALLY sisters!  And they have a YouTube channel and they actually sing and are kind of completely amazing.

Nashville Lennon and Maisy

And yes I did spend like 4 hours the other night watching and re-watching all of their videos.  This one especially.  Dying.

3.  Speaking of TV shows, I can’t tell you how saddened I am to find out that the whole “new season of Friends” rumor was a complete bust.  I’m sure it would have extremely sad to see them all nipped and tucked and botox’ed out of their minds, but I love that crazy gang and it would have been pretty awesome to see them together again.  I guess the reruns at 11pm on Nickelodeon every night will have to do for now.  Sup with the wack PlayStation sup.

Ok that’s all I got, kids. Momma’s tired and can’t think of anything else to say.  Also I’m now calling myself “momma” so that’s pretty good proof.  And now I feel like Jesse Spano. In more ways than one.

Jesse Spano

Happy weekend! xo
