Kelly green headband, silver necklace from the Smashbox Enchantress Beauty Kit and silver hoops
Stretchy jeans and a flowy white top with lace trim and spaghetti straps over a grey tank, grey zip-up hoodie and a dark grey scarf
It’s a Lancome kinda day! I did a simple eye with two products from the Pink Irreverence Collection. It involved a swipe of Lancome Le Stylo Kohl in Confidence Noir and a wash of color over the entire lid using Color Design Pro Illuminator in High Expectations. Then, I gave my lashes two coats of Virtuose mascara, winked at myself in the mirror and said, “holla!”
I’m almost embarrassed to admit this because it illustrates my obsessiveness, but sometimes I try to match the brand of perfume I’m wearing with the makeup I’ve got on. Since it’s a Lancome day I’m wearing Miracle Forever.
For day-to-day wear I like bras by DKNY because they fit me well and aren’t overly frilly or lacy. If I’m wearing a strapless dress, I’ll bust out my trusty Le Mystere strapless bra, which is the only strapless bra I’ve ever worn that doesn’t fall down to my bellybutton after five minutes.
Coffee and crumpets
Hmm… does Tabs count? He jumped on the bed first thing this morning and started meowing up a storm. I told him, “Yeah, yeah, I’ll get you your gravy, my liege!” I don’t believe he understands sarcasm.
Yup. I walked into See’s Candy this weekend and saw one section of the store covered in heart-shaped boxes of chocolate candy.
Read the paper, get all of my schoolwork and freelance stuff done by 6:00 PM so I can work out at night, do *hella* sit-ups in my workouts (I’m freaking out because I saw a picture of a fitness ad with before-and-after shots and my stomach looked eerily like the BEFORE pic)

Have you thought about Valentines Day yet? Yeah, somewhat. Our budget’s tighter than a wrestler’s drawers right now. So, it’ll most likely be takeout, a Netflix movie/cable movie, and time in the bedroom! But, it’s time for us! So, I’m good.
Weekly goals: 1) Make it through in one piece! 2) Love my hubby/kids a little more each day (not so hard!), 3) Give time to myself and 4) Pay bills!

Eyes: L’Oreal Hip Bright Eyeshadow duo Flashy, L’oreal Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner, Almay 3-in-1 Nourishing Mascara in Black.
The vanilla color of Flashy is all over my lid while the teal color is on the outside corners and used as a liner on the bottom lid. The teal can only be used in small doses since it’s so bright!!! I love the HiP line (I’ve got 6 of the duos).
Perfume: I’m highly allergic to perfume so I wear none. I either have an asthma attack or a major migraine if I smell perfume (sometimes both). I itch constantly if I’m wearing even scented lotion! I feel like I’m suffocating when I smell it!

First person I talked to today and what I said: My dog Zena. I said, “Good morning, Zeneer-beener!” The name is a pet name. She has many (if you wish to see a picture of her, I can link you to my Sugar profile).
Have you thought about Valentines Day yet? No, but I wouldn’t mind being asked out (huge secret). I’ve never been on a real date so it would be nice.
Weekly goals: Test out all the new HiP duos I bought yesterday! Give Zena a bath. Make a vet appointment for Zena to have her toenails trimmed (expect WWIII upon entering the vet’s office). Get to the library. I’m in need of new books to read. Make an appointment to see my psych. Watch the new House and Intervention airing tonight!!!

Hi Tania,
You are so lucky to have your birthday on Valentine’s! That’s awesome!
Did you watch last night’s ep? What the heck is going on with Olivia? I don’t know if I would enjoy hanging out with her.
Hi Gio,
You wore one of my favorite colors yesterday. I love orange because it always makes me feel happy.
Have a good Tuesday!
Hi Rovie,
That’s SO COOL — a very sweet and thoughtful gift! I don’t watch hockey as fanatically as I did ten years ago but I know that if somebody got me tix when I was obsessed with the game I’d be over the moon.
We haven’t made plans yet! We aren’t really party animals so chances are it’ll be very low key. Dinner and maybe a movie, probably. 🙂
Have a good day!
Hi Caro,
OMG! You are so cute with your “Infamous” pants. I have an outfit or two like that, LOL.
BTW, I love D&G Light Blue. I have a soft spot for it because I wore it on my wedding day.
Happy Tuesday!
Hi Vanessa H.,
Aww, there’s nothing like a pet waking you up first thing. Why did you decide to name your dog Hamlet?
I have a mutt, too. She lives with my parents. Technically she’s my dad’s dog now because he feeds her, ha!
Hi Violet,
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who likes to match, LOL. 🙂
I bet that Pink Grapefruit shampoo leaves your hair smelling so good!
Stay warm and have a good Tuesday. 🙂
Hi Stephie,
Speaking of Anne Hathaway, The Devil Wears Prad was on TV last week! I never get tired of that movie. Have you seen Rachel Getting Married yet? I hope to catch it this weekend.
Hi Erica,
Congrats on your two year anniversary! 🙂
I’m sure he’ll love his present. iPods are the greatest thing since sliced bread!
Hi YJ,
LOL! What kind of food are you thinking about for Valentine’s Day?
Hi Michelle,
Yay! Doesn’t that Stila concealer cover everything?
How exciting that you’re going to Vegas. Where will you guys be staying?
Hi Tatiana,
Oh no… I’m sorry to hear about that. Well, I hope that you and your girls will be able to have a nice night out. Take care of yourself!
Hi Kathleen,
You go with your pink and aqua eyes! I wish I could pull of such lovely colors. 🙂
Hi Daya,
You are a girl after my own heart. I am all about the cookies and coffee for breakfast.
Happy Tuesday!
Hi Vanessa,
Hang in there! When you feel like you’re starting to lose it deep breaths always help. 🙂
Hi Catherine,
Girl! I’ve always admired soccer players. I have trubs playing any sport involving fast projectiles. What position do you play?
Hi Ellery,
OMG, you and your six inch heels! 🙂 How do you walk in those? I know I’d topple over in a hot second, LOL.
Hi Karen4,
Thanks for sending me a pic of your swatches — that palette looks very intriguing!
Hi Alison,
What a bummer that they discontinued your quad! Oh well, I guess this is an excuse to explore new colors. 🙂
Hi Holly,
Congrats on getting the job. When do you start?
Hi Susan,
Congrats on your anniversary! That’s fantastic! 🙂 Did you guys do anything to celebrate?
Hi Shefali,
I tried one BB Shimmer Bricks in the past and I prefer MAC Beauty Powders. The BB one I tried was too cool for me. The texture of MAC BP’s seems finer, too.
Good luck on your test! Are you ready?
Hi Courtney L.,
A few sunscreens that I like are Oil of Olay Complete, Alba and Neutrogena Dry Touch (love this for my neck). Here’s a link to the review:
Drugstore Sunscreen Reviews
One department store one that I like is Shiseido 55:
Shiseido 55 Sunscreen Review
I hope this helps!
Hi MaryJane,
Get better soon! 🙂
Hi Tiera,
How long will your brother be with you? I hope your mom wins big in Vegas!
Yes, it’s a great under eye concealer. For blemishes I still turn to my Laura Mercier. It does an instant dissapearing act on any spots I have.
We’ll be staying at the Hooters hotel. He works for the company (I used to also, it’s where we met) so we’re getting a smoking deal. Are you planning anything special that day as well? It’s only three weekends away…:)
Hey Karen –
Thanks for the Shimmer Brick lowdown. Yeah, I’m returning it. You hit the nail on the head…it’s too cool for me. The BP’s are better.
I think I am ready. Getting really good scores on the practice tests. But there just always seems to be a tiny little something I don’t know!! However, I’m aiming to just pass. I don’t care what the score is at all. Just get me through!
Hi Karen,
I start on monday 🙂 im so excited I really think its what ive needed!
