Pretty In Pastel Pink

Pink is undoubtedly my absolute favorite color.

There really isn’t anything you can do to persuade me to choose any other color. Many have tried and oh so many have failed…not really but you get my point, Rena loves pink! So of course when I FINALLY received my March box from Julep Maven, I couldn’t wait to whip out one of pink shades and play around.

 

 

What you see is “Minnie” a light pastel pink with a little iridescence.

This months box included:

(which I paid extra to get the entire box + $30 from the usual $19/month = $49)

8 Pastel 4-Free Nail Polishes

1 Strawberry Mint Lip Balm

1 Rock Star Hand Cream

1 Glycolic Hand Scrub

I liked this pink iridescent pastel color so much, I decided it would be my mani for the week!

Loving it!

Stay Tuned!

Crashed!

I think I just died a little bit inside…

My laptop may have just reached a sudden and untimely death…

As I was getting ready to post, it needed to be restarted…

It was all downhill from there…

It’s now 5am and I’m blogging from the mobile app…

Would this be moblog as in mobile + blog?!

Eh that’s all the silliness I have in me.

It’s Thursday and I’ll be going to NAIAS (North American International Auto Show) for a lovely meet-up with WXYZ Detroit Channel 7, back channel and hopefully some early risers.

So I’ll be trying to fix my lappy all day til then. Sorry guys and I’ll try my best!!

Holiday Hell Week

Hey stylish sweets!

I’m a little late posting today, sorry about that.  I’ve been running around town like a crazy woman getting ready for Thursday aka Thanksgiving.  Having to buy things on a day that most of your time will be spent in the city, at a football game, on a holiday is quite hectic!  Tradition for my family is to attend the Detroit Lions NFL game on Thanksgiving, then come home, pig out and get ready to watch the evening games.  Sounds like fun, right?  Oh, it is absolutely amazing, that is until you realize you actually have to have all the food cooked before Thursday, things bought and prepared, instructions wrote carefully for those waiting at home, the crazy people driving, the nut jobs out shopping oh and yea…your own sanity!

Needless to say, I’m already exhausted.  Today was the first day I was actually able to relax and enjoy my bed for a few hours.  It didn’t last long but damn it, it felt delightful!  So, with that said…this will definitely be a light week for posting.  I’m gonna try to post my holiday recipes and a few other things but I’m not making any promises…I’m only one woman people!

Anywho..

In case I don’t post lol I hope that all of you have a wonderful week filled with full tummies!

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

What’s In My Bag?

Well….good question.

Being a shopaholic has its’ pros and definitely has cons.  For example, it’ll be the day pigs have wings if I ever run out of things to wear.  Even though, every single day I stare into my closet and chant “I have nothing to wear today.”  In fact, pretty sure I don’t need another bag…might be positive about that one even.  Shoes, nope, shouldn’t need anymore of those either but we all know I’ll be shopping again one day.

Positive things about being a shopaholic…I have options!  A girl can never have too many options especially when it comes to having clothes, shoes and bags.

I usually switch them out to go with outfits or outings.  When it’s time to switch out a purse…well…when I dump everything from one bag to another, I don’t go through anything.  That’s more than likely a bad idea but hey, it’s usually 5 minutes before I need to leave out of the house!

Now that we have that established…what’s in this current bag?  I’m almost scared to show this…been carrying this bag for a week.  I’ve been running errands, going to class, making it to appointments, and shopping.

Dear sweet baby Jesus, here we go…

How about we start with the bag itself? Good? Good.  Coach Poppy Glam Tote in silver…it was a gift for my birthday last year and it.is.durable!  This bag is my go-to when I’m in a hurry or if I need to carry more than the normal stuff.  I’m not even sure if these things are normal but the contents of said bag weren’t actually as bad as I initially thought.

Here’s what’s in my bag after dumping EVERYTHING out in the middle of my bed:

  • Hand sanitizer clipped to the bag…A MUST!
  • Dove Body Spray…always a great pick me up during the day and not strong.
  • Victoria’s Secret Pear Glace…during the holidays they had travel sized lotions (I bought a ton!)
  • Asthma inhaler…because, well, you never know.
  • Watch and ring…towards the end of any day, that stuff is coming off while I’m driving home.
  • Pen
  • Two headbands…not sure why I have two but one is sporty and the other is shiny and more fashionable sooo we’ll just go with that.
  • Hair comb
  • Target receipt…of course!
  • Wallet…Coach fanatic here.
  • Coins
  • Hair clip…I have long hair and well never mind no more excuses.
  • Four lip glosses…nope can’t explain that.
  • Raffle tickets…I honestly can’t even remember where those came from.
  • Mini notebook…writing with a pen and paper is so not a total lost art people…plus I doodle when I’m bored and I forget things.

That wasn’t too embarrassing or totally wacky.  Ok, I probably won’t ever do this again lol but it was definitely fun!
