Excited! Celebutante and fragrance mogul Paris Hilton is visiting the downtown SF Macy’s today to promote her new fragrance, Fairy Dust, and I’m trying to score an interview. Last time we talked, she gave some pretty good beauty tips (start taking care of your skin at a young age, for one). For deets on her schedule today, check out the Macy’s website.
Once upon a time a friend of mine went for a job interview at the Gap wearing non-Gap clothes; she didn’t get the job. Later, she asked the interviewer what she could have done differently, and one of the answers was “Well, you didn’t come to the interview dressed in Gap clothing.”
Needless to say, I won’t be wearing Coco Mademoiselle to Macy’s today.
It’s a toss up right now. Either Dior Golds 569 or Chanel Emerald Coast eyeshadow duo.
Sephora by OPI Metro Chic
Jergen’s Naturals Renew Daily Moisturizer (smells like blueberries)
My first cup of coffee, a good night’s sleep, and that I don’t have to get my bridesmaid’s dress altered for Jen’s wedding later this month. It’s loose in the bosom area… but whatever, I’ll just wear a padded bra and stuff that sucker if push comes to shove! As Tim Gunn says, “Make it work.”
Worried about my mother-in-law, El Hub’s mom, who goes in for surgery (mastectomy) later this week. I’m sure everything will be fine, but she’s still on my mind.
The over-the-shoulder turkey holder, aka my slouchy black Lauren Merkin bag.
Maybe hip hop class tonight. If not, then maybe a yoga DVD in the living room.
To be true to myself, to stay positive and cheerful and to hold down the fort while El Hub visits our mom in Hawaii.
Happy Monday, girls. Are you ready for this? Just copy the empty list, and paste it with your answers in the comments.

Hi Anna,
Thank you very much. I’m praying for the best, and hope her operation isn’t too hard on her.
I am very excited about your upcoming graduation. Whatever you wear make sure it’s waterproof! You never know if/when you’ll get teary. 🙂
Hi Ellery,
You are the cutest. I have never known anyone who loved Mondays the way you do!
I really love the idea of a bright, bold orange lip! I dunno if I could ever pull it off, but I’m sure you could totally do it.
Oh! I have a very *bright* pink for you called MAC Girl About Town. You can see a pic at the end of this post:
18 MAC to School Makeup Tips.
Hi Ines!
I would be honored if you shared some pics of your makeup and dancing competition. I know you’ll look fierce and you’ll do great. 🙂 And oh, that ball gown sounds to die for!
Hang in there and take your tests one day at a time, and have a good week!
Hi Megan,
Eek, When I get chin breakouts they are always either hormonal or because of lack of sleep. They take forever to go away, too, ugh. Last time I had a bad one I switched my regular salicylic acid treatment for benzoyl peroxide. What do you use when you break out?
Hi Lydia,
I need some stress relief body lotion right now, LOL!
Hi Vampyvarnish,
Poor kitty! Did he have to go to the vet?
I hope you feel better soon, too. Have a good week!
Hi Elle,
Thank you very much for your note. I hope that your friend’s mom fares well, too.
BTW, that’s an interesting way to store shoes. I’ve been using those plastic, see-through shoe boxes from Container Store (ugh), but I am not crazy about them. I will have to look into that, too.
Have a good week and stay positive. 🙂
Hi Erin,
It’s good to meet you! Glad you popped by to say hello. 🙂
What kind of dance do you do? And I’m so jealous that you have multiple cats!
Hi Maria,
Bare Study is one of those fantastic MAC workhouse products. Do you pair it with MAC shadows, too?
Hi Almira,
Thanks. I just hope that it goes smoothly for her.
Have a good week — and I hope you get some good grades. 🙂
Hi Yadiq,
I am pretty stressed out the economy, too. Hopefully it will rebound soon.
We still haven’t dished on your vacay, yet. How was it?
BTW, I had a super garlic-y mofongo at my fave Puerto Rican place yesterday and I thought of you!
Hi Evie,
Thank you so much for the good thoughts. We need ’em right now…
I’m excited for your new dance class. What kind of dance is it?
Also, congrats on snagging that Chanel quad. Isn’t it fab?
Hi Tania,
I hope Justin Bobby doesn’t move in, either. First off, homie doesn’t look like he bathes. Blech. Secondly, he only seems to come back into the picture when he’s lacking screen time.
I will forever be bitter about her dumping that Aussie guy. TEAM CORY 4-EVA!
Are you excited about Whit’s new show? I hope it has more action than The Hills does these days.
Have a great week!
P.S. Thanks for the Tabs complements! He is such a ham for the camera. 🙂
Hi Casey Ann,
When I went to SF today they were already setting up the Christmas tree in Union Square! Next thing you know it’s going to be NYE, eek!

Hi Glosslizard,
Thanks… I just hope the operation brings us good news and that she doesn’t feel too terrible afterward.
I just wish we were closer so we could help out. (sigh)
Do you have a link to your purse? Send, send!
Hi Meimei,
That’s cool that you mix and match your scents. It’s kinda like fragrance Frankenstein! What body splash and essential oil combos do you use?
Hi GG,
I like the look of acrylics, but don’t have the agility for them. I find they make it really hard to type! But a well done French acrylic to me will always be a thing o’ beauty.
That’s so cute that you tote your mom’s bag around!
Hi Brittany,
J’adore is one of my fragrance loves, too. A friend of mine gave me a bottle years ago (somebody had given it to her and it wasn’t really her style); it was one of those happy fragrance accidents.
Rock on with your 5 miles of walking! Where did you go? I hope you were wearing comfy shoes. 🙂
Hi Katee,
I see you like citrus scents. Have you ever worn Clinique Happy? It’s one of my favorite citrus scents.
Hi P. Potter,
She was cool. I’ll put it up in a few.
How was your day?
Hi Sun,
Thank you for your well wishes… I’ll pass them on to her.
What kind of job do you have now? Are you thinking about staying in the same industry or trying something new?
Hi Allie,
I like the new Shea Cashmere line, too. Does it smell like caramel on you?
I hope the employment sitch gets getter for you… *keeping fingers crossed*.
Hi Miss QQ,
I’m glad you’re feeling good this week! 🙂

Those Tumbleweed homes are neat! I saw that on Oprah a few months ago.

Good luck on your math quizzes!
LOL, I will always loves me some lipgloss! What’s your favorite?
Hi Erica,
So, I’m a not-so-closeted Duran Duran fan! I must get my hands on that book by Andy Taylor. I love the title, too.

Seems like the economy is hitting lots of folks very hard. I hope that it turns around very soon.
Do you have any thing fun planned since you don’t work tomorrow? Or are you going to spend the day relaxing?
I am just going to relax. This weekend I realized that from this weekend on to 2009, I have no free weekends. Have something going on which is great but there are times for ME time.

Le list
Mood:disgruntled ( I had an appointment to get my hair straightened this morning and when I called to confirm I found out that the salon had made a mistake and double booked my favorite stylist.It’s irritating because I had to re-arrange my schedule to get the appointment in the first place ( it takes about 5 hours to get my hair done )and now I’ll have to wait 3 more weeks untill I have time again! At least I’ll get it 50% off to compensate for the mix up. )
Fragrance: Dreams by Salvatore Fergammo
Eye shadow:MAC pigment in Your Ladyship, a random Stila brown in the crease, Stila Moonlight as a highlight, and MAC Engraved eyeliner. Plus a ton of FiberWig mascara. It’s a Japanese brand and it’s AWESOME! I think you can get it on Sephora’s website.
Nails: Nothing on hands, pale pink on the toes.
Body lotion: Cetaphil Body Cream
Lovin’: My new MAC Eager lipstick, the cold, crisp weather, and the steaming cup of almond tea I just drank.
Stressin’: having to deal with my hair for another 3 weeks!!
Purse: A bottle green leather tote from Aldo.
Working out today?: Already did. Took the doggie for a long run to get rid of bad feeling about my hair!
Goals for the week: Prepare all my summer clothes for storage and bring out all the winter stuff. Make sure to eat breakfast every day, and help my sis to move into the city.
I’m really sorry about your mom in law. My dad was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago. He had a tumor under his ear that spread to his jaw bone. It was a really stressful time for our family, but it really pulled us all together and made us so much closer. I know how you’re feeling and I hope everything goes well for your family!
We’re all thinking of you!
I’ll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts. I hope everything goes as well as it possibly can. *hugs*
Hi Marisol,
Yowza! You are going to be a busy girl! That’s good that you’ll be able to have some quiet time just for you. It’s very important for one’s sanity. 🙂
Hi Shana T,
I really appreciate your thoughts and positive vibes. I am just really hoping that this week will end on a positive note. We’ll know more after she goes in for her operation.
I’ve heard a ton of great things about FiberWig. I hope I can check it out in person at Sephora. I’m all about the instant gratification, LOL.
Hi Shiny,
*big hugs back* Thank you… I hope it does, too.
You have a good week. 🙂
Thanks for the well-wishing, me too =3

Hi Almira,
Are you taking a lot of classes? Ahh, I miss school!
I can’t stop thinking about the orange so I’m going down for it today, lol!
That pink is GORGEOUS, I’ve added it to my MAC list!
Hi Ellery,
I had a feeling you would like it! It pops even more if you add a shimmery gloss on top, like a Dazzleglass or Glossimer. 🙂
Sweet, I’m excited about your orange lipstick. I bet it would look really pretty when paired with a teal eye. It would be more of a summery look, but hey, if the weather is gloomy sometimes brights are a nice way to brighten your day.
LOL, I’m kinda lusting for an orange lipstick now…
Mood: Okay – a little down because of all the wind, rain and darkness 🙁 I wanna play with my new chainsaw – but the weather is not with me.
Fragrance: Something Jean-Paul Gaultier.
Eye shadow: Lancome duo, a light pink and brown eye.
Nails: An iridescent black-purple.
Body lotion: nope – body oil 🙂
Lovin’: Chocolate and my fireplace.
Stressin’: Enourmous piles at work.
Purse: New black leather thing, I don’t think it has a name, but it looks like a million bucks 😉
Working out today?: Does sex count?
Goals for the week: Not worry about work when I’m off duty and get through the piles of paperwork and gardenwork I have at home. Felled a tree and need to cut it to smaller pieces 🙂
I just decided to walk to campus today. It’s about 1.5 from my house one way and I usually walk about another two miles on campus each day.
It does smell like caramel. I think that’s why I like it.
Thanks for the good luck wishes for the job hunt. Something has to come up soon!
Have a good day 🙂
Mood:Good
Fragrance:euphoria body wash and lotion, no perfume
Eye shadow: wash of kitten

Lovin’:my current Bobbi Brown purchases (shimmering nudes, limited edition eye & lip palette, velvet plum eye palette) and UD 24/7 eyeliners
Stressin’: I feel like this financial crisis is going to hit my home in one way or another, but I must stay positive and things will be as they are meant to be.
Purse: Large Italian leather bag from floto.com that my husband bought me for my birthday
Working out today?:No! I wish, but I have to care for my sick kitty, Marzipan. She is a stray that we recently took and we are trying to get her ready to meet the rest of our four-footed lot.
Goals for the week:Get Marzipan integrated into the family, work out, get to the grocery store for my mexican food extraveganza, and clean the house. Man, I am busy!
