Happy Saturday, my friend. How’s your weekend going so far?
I got my last print issue of “Allure” in the mail earlier this week, and I’m a little bummed about it. I know they’ll still be online, but there’s something about waking up on a Saturday morning and drinking a cup of coffee while flipping through the pages of a magazine, ya know? Side note: What’s going on with Jennifer Aniston’s bra? I mean, it’s Chanel and all, but still. LOL!
Anyway, it’s a rainy day here in the Bay Area, and my day so far has been spent running errands in the drizzle. In a little bit, I’ll be taking Connor to a dance performance with her dance team. Yup, it’s official… I’m a dance mom now!
What are you up to?

I loved getting Allure magazine in the mail. I’ll continue with it on line. Red lipstick and me never meshed until I ordered a few bottles of my favorite Dior Addict perfume and Dior tossed in tons of small gifts, one of them being the lipstick 999 satin. The other day I tossed it on and I’m sold! Who knew! I’ll order it in 999 metallic since I’m not a satin or matte fan.
Dior 999 is SOOOO good. I have it in the Forever Dior matte formula and it’s so good. That’s awesome that Dior tossed in some small gifts! Did you find anything else good?
I just got back from taking Connor to her dance performance in the rain!
I loved dance class. Hope she enjoys it! They sent samples of other perfumes and a small soap. Dior Addict is my only perfume since its birth 20 years ago, so I’m not interested in any others. I’m humming ‘Dancing/singing in the rain’ to you both ! 🎄🎉
That’s great that you’ve been able to find a scent that you’ve loved for that long! Dior makes some amazing scents… I wore and loved J’Adore for a few years. It reminds me of the early 2000s!
That bra is pasties with straps! She pulls it off though.
That article on”Skin care isn’t an exact science” – I’ve seen videos of the “clean” beauty products growing mold within a month or two because of a lack of effective preservatives. Preservatives are important!
Okay those cat hair clips are cute, I might need them. And I just ordered a brown mascara.
I think I might need the clips, too. And yay for softer colors on the eyes like brown mascara and liner. I’m a believer!
