It’s Monday So Let’s Have a Giveaway!

Enter for Your Chance to Win an Envirosax Bag! The good folks from Envirosax contacted me and asked if I’d be interested in doing a giveaway here.  I’m all about using reusable bags for shopping that you better believe I jumped at the opportunity. The goal was to get it up about a week ago and tell [...]

Makeup Primers, Oh How I Love Thee

I’ve known about makeup primers for a couple years now. I remember before I moved out here to LA, my girlfriend was in love with a particular primer (I don’t think Smashbox had their product out just yet). She’d pick up a new tube any time she came out here to LA. [...]

I Feel Even More Fashion Challenged Than Before

I had my first virtual styling session yesterday. It was pretty cool. First I had to send over the photos I mentioned the other day. Then we had to open a Skype video chat. Messing with the lighting was a little tough, but I think I got it right. Thing is, I really [...]

It’s Official, I Have NO Style

A friend of mine is in the process of taking her personal styling biz virtual.  She put out the call asking for people willing to be a “type.”  I volunteered for the plus-size gal that works from home, but still needs to look good when she’s out and about with people either networking, training or [...]

It’s All About ME ME ME!!!

Not exactly. I mean it is my husband’s birthday. But I did something totally uncharacteristic today…I left him before he even got out of bed telling him that there was a bagel waiting for him. You see, I had to head out to the college to get my employment papers filed since [...]

I Feel the Siren Song of the New Purse Calling to Me

Again. And once again, I’m going to need to just ignore it.  We’re even closer to our anniversary and now it’s looking like even that could change (a possible earlier trip to Vegas instead). I should be fine though.  I just bought this gorgeous Le Sportsac (as if you might need further proof that I’m a child [...]

The Shopping Moratorium Has Ended

Image by ME! via Flickr Well, not really.  But kinda.  Once we realized that the fraudulent charges were dropped, it eased things up a bit.  Not that I’m going to head out to pick up that new $300 purse (heck, I’m turning down a trip to the outlets this weekend), but I have done a little [...]

I’m Feeling the Urge to Shop

Image by The Library of Congress via Flickr Did you ever notice that when you really need to save money, or be on some sort of budget, that’s when the shopping urge comes to town?  I’m not a crazy shopaholic (despite what my recent lipstick purchases might otherwise suggest).  I work from home, so I don’t [...]

What Would You Like for Valentine’s Day?

Image by mozzercork via Flickr Buying gifts for the various holidays and birthdays just isn’t very big in our house.  Even when I do ask for a gift, it’s typically something housewares-y or domestic (which is hear is all wrong).  I’m planning on creating a shopping guide  (you have no idea how much I adore checking [...]

Uh Oh, I Just Spent $100 on New Lipsticks

Yes, you read that right…$100 on new lipsticks (plural, more than one). As you may or may not have heard (if you follow me on Twitter you’ll likely have heard), I just found out last week that my favorite, go to lipstick has been discontinued.  I’ve always heard about those ladies that freak out when their [...]
