Secret Confession:

Okay ya'll I have a confession to make and I havent told anyone on my blog or on twitter this. Only bacause it hasn't come up ha ha. But I have a part time job that I do to raise funds for my parents health insurance costs. I am a Mary Kay Skin Care Consultant. People ask me how come you have such gorgeous skin? What do I use? What is my skin regime? Well, I have been using MK since I was 15 and I am now 29. The reason I use it is because not only do I adore the products, but I love sharing my skin care info with others.

I began this in college just part time to help my parents medical costs etc.. I just do it part time and I love helping my family out. I read all about cancer in my "day" job and apply that to my friends who purchase MK from me.

I asked a friend of mine from college, why do you buy from me? She said, because you don't push anyone. You teach people about the dangers of not taking care of your skin and how important it is. It's funny, I never had it click with me, but I am not pushy. If they ask, I am all about teaching them and helping.

So, there you all have it. I am a MK Skin Care consultant. :) Very proud of teaching all women and men about taking care of their skin, getting skin cancer screenings etc…

If you have any questions, concerns or would like to try out some products. I am all yours! :)

Talbots- The New "Jcrew-esque" Store

When I think of Talbots, I think of old stuffy cardigans, penny loafers and shawls. No lie. That's what I think of and the fact that they are way overpriced. But I have changed my tune girls.

Talbots is targeting younger, sleeker and preppier look. I must admit, I am in love! These are my must have's from Talbots:

 

 
 
So, move over JCrew and get ready because Talbot's has taken over :)
 Happy Friday Everyone!

"The Miracle Mascara"

Happy First day of September!
Can you believe it? It is already September. Phew… the summer just flew by this year. I love fall, it is actually one of my favorite seasons. From a girl who grew up in Boston, I definitely miss the snow and cold temps, while living here in the Carolinas. So, I welcome fall and its gorgeous colors, coffee drinks and cardigans :)

If you have not been on twitter or you don't follow me on twitter, by the way, shame on you. ;)

You will have noticed that many of my tweet friends are trying to find t he best mascara while on a budget. I basically preached and raved about the Cover Girl Lash Blast Masacara. It is a miravle tube for your eye lashes. At $6.39 a tube that does wonders for your lashes, you really can't beat it. It lengthens, volumizes and stays on! Its fantastic!

This is what my eye lashes looked like with the mascara on: Note- no curler was neede just 2 swipes of this bad boy and it was on :)
 

See the volume and length?! Its amazing!

This tube has it and I give it an A+.

" You are a piece of garbage"

Oh joy, the Real Housewives of NJ reunion part 1 aired last night and can I just say this was AWESOME!!! It truly did not disappoint. It was filled with crazy, shoving, yelling, screaming, pointing and name calling. Super classy in Jersey! ;)
Below is a sneak peek pic of the moment ( which happened within the first 5 mins of the show) where Teresa goes off onm Danielle. Something about her nephew? I have no idea honestly. My twitter friends and I just did n't understand why she went off on her like that. But she did say " You don't break up my family" In screaming, schreiking voice. Can you say Crazy? One tweet friend made a really interesting statement last night, she said. We all know Danielle is crazy, but you must be crazier when you start making Danielle look less crazier than you. Isn't that the truth?! I mean, let’s face it here. They are all crazy to some level, but I must admit that the only one who has class and dignity is my favorite Mrs. Caroline Manzo. Like she said.. She has been even keel. She doesn't speak to them, she doesn't talk or associate herself with them. Which is true. She has her own family to run and handle. She doesn't need the crazies added to it. Lets get to talking about each one.. First up,

Teresa:

Well, can I just say that she has lost her classiness. Seriously, your husband is not hot, you spend money like water, you talk about how Jersey Shore is a bad representation of Italians in Jersey. Well, hello?!!! What in the world do you call yourself? Its all the same my dear. Also, you have had to have known that your husband was hinting at you about the financial trouble you all were in. In every episode this season he makes a comment. I even noticed that and I don't live with you all. Also, who in the world gets into a car wreck and then goes and takes some shots to "ease the stress" right after? Can we say Denial here?!

Jacqueline:

Okay, let me just say that she annoys me to no end. She's like the girl in the group of bullies that tries to fit in, be tough etc.. But really is a whimp. Her daughter should be charged etc.. I mean, in the real world if her daughter did that, guess what? Charges would have been brought up against her. Plus, let's face it, the girl needs a really good lesson. A bratty kid who doesn't get that your actions cause consequences. Oh and that red glitter dress had to go.. Not flattering at all.

 

Danielle:

So she is crazy, lives through her children, plays the victim card, and walks away. Seriously?!! With your supposed past criminal background, you should be maning up! But no she walks away and why does she do that? Well, simple, her tactic is to make them look crazier than her. And job well done! It works. I really do agree with Caroline. I have never seen her children be really happy. You look at them and they look down, eyes really blank. Its really sad. And her outfit.. A wife beater?! Come on, dress classy for once!

Best dressed: Hands down Caroline!! She looked fantastic!!

Did you all watch? If not, go and watch it, then comment on here! Thoughts?

Have a fantastic Tuesday!!

Emmy's Best and Worst Dressed Recap

The Emmy's this year was fantastic! Jimmy Fallon definitely knocked his hosting and opener out of the park.

The music, the twitter feed comments etc.. All just fantastic! Kuddos to you Mr. Fallon!


So let's get to it-- my picks for best dressed are the following:

Worst Dressed---

I just think the above are just not that great. I mean, feathers, old grandma lace and a mini? Come on... dress with class and style.

Hint- New Water Obession:

Yes, I have found mecca people and it is fantastic! Hint: Blackberry water. It is pure water and natural fruit flavors. No sugar, no sweeteners, zero calories and no preservatives. It is just water with fresh squeezed fruit jice in it. It is Fantastic! Go on and try it.. You will love it. For my fellow, Wwers= 0 points and counts as y our water intake :)
 

Things on my mind this morning:

Big Brother episode last night- I have got to say that Matt has got to go and sadly, I think Brittany will be next.

Pandora is the greatest thing on my BB since my Twitter app. Love it! If you don't have it check it out. Its music you will love it.

Twitter- I love my tweet friends. I must say that my tweet friends have been some of my close friends lately. Truly grateful for them. Thank you ladies :)

Jury Duty week-- Ugh.. Doing my part, conducting my civil duty. But I must say that I dread it. It's really heartbreaking and stressful at times.

Blessings- I am truly beyond blessed. I cannot be reminded enough about how lucky I am. Good health, family, friends, an amazing job so much more. God is good!

Crazy people and ignorance. It's on my mind daily. I guess, I relate to people from different cultures, religions, backgrounds etc… I am a person who is of a different culture, religion etc.. My ultimate wish is that people don't think of others as less than them, or bad/evil etc… We are all humans who want peace and respect. And FYI.. We all ultimately believe in the same thing. Just sayin'

Aziz Ansari and Vince Vaughn- If you know me for a long while, you may have noticed that I am a girl who loves a sense of humor. To me, it is the layout for everything else in a person. I crave lauighter. It makes things better in a person's life. I admire the two actors/comedians above. Not only for their charm and sauve looks. Okay, well Aziz you just want to put him in your pocket for safe keeping :) But both make me laugh and take life into a different outlook. To me, that’s a gift. I hope that people who know me think that about me. I may not be the smartest or prettiest, but heck, I know I am funny and faithful with everyone.

So, today, your duties are to be thankful for what you have, have a tweetfest, laugh, be open minded, create peace and above all, take it all day by day.
