It’s not a secret that I’m obsessed with makeup, skin care and all things organic. I had the pleasure of trying out a spa that recently opened in La Mirada called, Sugar Bloom Beauty Boutique. Sugar Bloom Beauty is owned and operated by makeup artist and esthetician, Kristy Bradvica. Full disclosure, I’ve known Kristy for…

I Spend TOO Much Money on Stuff.
Looking back on my 2017, I’ve realized that I spend way too much money on “stuff” (a word I tell my students never to use in an essay). I’m not talking about the essentials like groceries, gas, car payment and utilities, I’m talking about all of the other things. Do I think that I’m a…
Read MoreMy New Love…….
Yes, it’s true, I’m in love. I’m in love with the new Kat Von D Saint and Sinner eye shadow palette. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the other products I’ve tried her line of cosmetics. I didn’t care for the Studded Lipsticks or her Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks (which beauty professionals tell me are the…
Read MoreToo Faced Peaches Part II: Peaches and Cream Collection
I already gave a review of the Too Faced Sweet Peach line a few weeks back. I bought The Sweet Peach palette and a few of the lip oils when the line relaunched at the end of 2016. I love that palette, with the exception of a few colors.Recently, I purchased some more products from…

“Movin’ to the country, Gonna eat a lot of peaches Millions of peaches, peaches for me Millions of peaches, peaches for free” (Presidents of the United of America) I’ve been obsessed with the Too Faced Peaches line for quite some time, and OMG they just came out with a new line of peaches, the “Just…

It’s my last official day of MY summer and I’m sitting in MY favorite spot (the coffee shop), reflecting on MY summer. While it wasn’t quite the adventure of last year, I have a lot to look back on. The summer started off great. My hubby and I celebrated our nine year wedding anniversary at…

Again, I’m a little late to the Too Faced party. These palettes have been available for a while. So far I’ve reviewed my Too Faced Original Chocolate Bar Palette and the Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bon Palette. I will link both of those reviews below. After Christmas and again with my gift cards, I have…
Read MoreToo Faced Chocolate Bar Palette
Last year I had an obsession with ColourPop, and that obsession is now finally/thankfully, over. I’ve become more and more disillusioned with the novelty of the ColourPop shadows. I love their pigment, for the most part, but they are just too hard to work with. This year I am obsessed with Too Faced and their…
Read MoreThe Good and the Bad of ColourPop’s Super Shock Eye Shadow
All summer long I’ve been playing around with ColourPop’s Super Shock Eye Shadow. Some I love and some I will absolutely hate (hate is a harsh word, dislike is better). Some, as a matter of fact, I will probably get rid of before finishing the pot. At only $5 a piece I don’t feel too…
Read More"Unbagging" April Dreams
I’m sitting here watching my new favorite show on Netflix, Arrow. I’ve been home from work for a week, very ill. I wish this post would have gone up sooner. But, I was zapped. I had no energy, I slept all day and sweat all night. My tonsils were so swollen, I couldn’t swallow, or…
