Nervous! I have a lot on my plate at work today, and I’m afraid I won’t get everything done.
Since I haven’t gotten ready yet, a tank top and shorts under a terry cloth robe.
None right now, but since it looks like it’s going to be chilly, I think I’ll wear my chocolate brown, knee-high boots.
Softlips Lip Protectant in Cherry
My friend Jen’s bridal shower.
Sally Hansen’s The Good Earth on my toes, but I’m thinking about replacing it with Dior’s Mystic Violine.
Bumble & Bumble’s Curl Conscious Holding Foam.
Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.
Stella McCartney Soft Body Milk.
Organize my writing desk (NO MORE PROCRASTINATING!), do my laundry, get everything done at work and resist the urge to chop off all of my hair!

Shoes: None.
Lips: Too Faced Lip Injection.

Book I’m reading: Nicole Richie “The Truth About Diamonds”.
Body Lotion: A relaxing spa body butter I got from Next in a gift pack.
Goals for the week: Um.. probably go grocery shopping.
I hope you get everything done and have a great day! 😀 You reminded me I need some Softlips Vanilla!
Mood: Lazy – trying to get motivated for the gym this morning
Outfit: nightgown and bathrobe (hot, right?)
Shoes: None right now – I really need a pedicure!
Lips: none – I should put on my Kiehl’s lip balm

Goals for the week: Get my car in the shop – driving with a blinking “check engine” light- not so good!
Hi Ellery,
Your socks sound so cute!
BTW, did you dye your hair yet?
LOL, Softlips rocks! I think I also have Vanilla around here somewhere. 🙂
Hi Lexi,
Oh no! I have it when the “Check Engine” light comes on. It should actually say: “Get Ready to Spend a Few Hundred Dollars.”
LOL, I’m still in my robe, too… it has a really obnoxious print with lots of different colored stars and some random bunny silhouettes.
I only wear socks with cute stuff like that on them. 😀
And not yet, part of me doesn’t want to dye it turquoise but I definitely don’t want brown anymore. I was thinking of doing blonde again, I want this: http://i33.tinypic.com/x2wg9l.jpg
Plus, my hair’s almost that long so I won’t have long to wait!
I haven’t used Softlips for a long time, lately all I’ve been using is Carmex. My MAC Lip Conditioner smells kind of… sour. But I can’t take it back since it’s like 5 months old and I rarely use it so that’s probably why. (I got the pot, I wish I’d got the tube!)
Mood: borderline positive
Outfit: wideleg trouser jeans and bubble gum flutter sleeve top

Goals for the week: get back on my excercise regime (i did nothing last week), try to keep the house clean after my due diligence this weekend, try to maintain a positive outlook on life and work, start packing for my much needed vacation on ( i will board my cruise on oct 26) Find a way to cope with an idiot coworker for the rest of the week while the boss is out of the office – any advice ladies – on top of the fact he’s a moron he’s gross!!!
Hi Ellery,
I am picky about my socks, too. When it gets cold I only like to wear argyle socks in obnoxious colors!
OMG! That hair is *so hot*. The depth and variation of the shades… fantastic. It looks like that style will require flat ironing and some good texturizing cream. While turquoise would’ve been very cute and edgy I am totally pulling for this look!
Do you guys get tarte? They have this really wonderful lip conditioner called fRxtion that’s both an exfoliator and a lip conditioner in one. Plus, it smells really good, like brown sugar.
Hi YadiQ,
Wow! I am so excited for your cruise. 🙂
Regarding your co-worker, ugh… my policy for gross and obnoxious people is to basically just let their obnoxiousness roll off me like water on a duck’s back. It’s hard to “let it go,” but if getting on my nerves brings someone else joy then I won’t allow them the satisfaction.
If he crosses the line then you might think about get HR up in there, though.

Unfortunately we don’t have Tarte here, or at least I’ve never seen it! Which sucks since I need a good lip exfoliator, because when my MAC one is gone then that’s it! They should totally make their exfoliator permanent though. *shifty eyes*

How fun! Be sure to eat lots of dessert when you guys go out to eat on Thursday.
The Beauty Night Out event looks like it’ll be fun. Are your BF’s beauty junkies, too?

I actually do my own hair. 😀
I started trimming it when I was 14, then when I was 15 I started cutting it, and now I cut and dye it. I haven’t cut it for a while though since I’m growing it, but a few months ago I had an Agyness Deyn moment, so without that my hair would be shoulder length by now!
Everytime I used to go to the salon they did nothing right so I just said “Whatever. I’ll do it myself.” I’m not a professional, but I do a good job even if I do say so myself. 😉

Hey Karen
I’m kinda fickle myself, which is why I’ve only had piercings up until now.
I’m having 3 butterflies on a vine on my lower back. The butterflies are going to be turquoise to symoblise calmness, yellow for happiness and positivity and hot pink to symbolise passion because these are all things that I want more of in my life.
I’m due to go in about 2 hours and I’m really nervous about it now. I’m pretty sure its going to hurt like a seriously hurty thing, but it’ll be worth it.
Hopefully, if it doesn’t look to hideous right afterwards I’ll get a picture up on the blog so you can check it out!
Hope you have a good Tuesday!

Lydias last blog post..Hey again
Hi Josay,
Oh cool! I’ve never heard of that bath/body brand. If I ever make it to Canada then I will try to remember to find it!
Have a happy week! 🙂
Hi Tiffany,
Good luck on your thesis this week, girlie!
Hi Erica,
I have to say Forever 21 has some kick-ass accessories. I love going in there and buying bracelets and necklaces.
Hi Ines,
I wish I could send you some sunshine! It’s a beautiful fall day here today!
And OMG… your dance partner!!!! 🙂
Hi KK,
Girl, you have a good one too! Keep smiling!
Hi Roxy,
Good luck with the deal this week… I hope it gets sealed!
Hi Miss QQ,
Nice! What does your black dress look like?
Hi Marisol,
BioSilk is sooo good as a finisher. I love applying it on the ends after I flat iron.
Hi Rosie,
You can do it! 🙂
Hi GG,
How fun! When is the big bash? And what are ya’ll going to be doing?
Hi Ellery,
Props to you! I wish I could do my own coloring and cutting. The one time I tried cutting my bangs lets just say things did not go well. And whenever I color I make a ton of mess all over the bathroom. I am just not coordinated enough, I guess.
You are so lucky you can do your own hair maintenance. I bet it saves so much $ and allows you a ton of flexibility.
What are you thinking with new Nic color? Will you be doing several different colors or maybe one or two for the highlights?
Hi Ellie Paddy,
Grampa slippers rule!
Hi Beth,
Girl… I went with my bff to get hers years ago and that pretty much cured me from wanting a tattoo for a few years. I still might, though, in the future. My brother is actually covered with them. He has them on his forearms, and for years he hid them from my mom and dad by wearing long sleeved flannel shirts, even in 90 degree heat. HA AH AH! The jig is so up now, though.
I am looking forward to seeing your butterflies. I hope it goes well! *crosses fingers*
Keep smiling!
Hi Tali,
Big hugs to you, girlie. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Hi Lydia,
I love that Suave Professionals conditioner! It’s quite fab!
Hi Karen,
I lve The Notebook, I have seen it about a hundred times now so didnt cry but my eyes still fill up at the end, the first time I watched it I was in tears about 10 mins in haha even my (then) boyfriend filled up at the end!!
The Clarins Moisture rich isn’t new, they do have a new one called Satin Smooth body lotion but im not a fan at all, Moisture Rich is gorgeous if you dont mind it being pretty thick, it doesnt soak into the skin for quite a long time but at the same time isnt greasy. I smother myself in it before bed a couple of times a week and it keeps my skin nice and smooth 🙂
Hi Holly,
Ha! So did El Hub! That boy cried a river and then some. 🙂
I *love* thick lotions so Moisture Rich sounds just like my thing. This actually gives me an excuse to go back to the Clarins counter to visit with the eye shadow quads! Whee!
I hate making mess! When I dyed my hair brown I got some dye on the windowsill and it’s still there, lol!
I was thinking… bleach it, tone it a little, then get a highlighting cap/color random strands light blonde, then do the same with a really really light brown/dark blonde. I may go get all the stuff after I go to the dentist today! Eeee!
I’m also buying some black lipstick, hell yes.
hi karen!

Hi Fie,
Where do you get your Nivea lipcare in Strawberry?
I have been looking everywhere for it!
Cheers
Jo
Hi Ellery,
Me too! There are all these random spots from the failed hair dye attempts I did a few years back… they still mock me!
I like the idea of random streaks, but also like the thought of the concentration of the bulk of the highlights being in the front and then tapering out to the back. Honestly, though, I think that anything you do will look great. That hair color was hot. One of my co-workers is blonde and she’s an older gal who has lived a rich life; she has a lot of stories and tells me that blondes indeed have more fun (although she’s says in a few years I’ll get to indulge in what she calls, “the revenge of the brunettes”).
Black lipstick!!! You are so gusty. I haven’t worn anything black on my lips since 1994. I used to line my lips with black eye liner and then top ’em with dark, matte red. Ah, those were the days.
Hi Bella,
How fun! I love seeing groups of people dressed in themed outfits.
I wish I could be the Cheshire cat!
