A little Vent....

Have you ever noticed that when you want or need things to go smoothly, they very rarely do. Something always is going wrong, or not the way you expect it to go. I had one of those moments this morning. I always feel very frustrated when things are out of my control and they start heading in the wrong direction than what I had planned. This is especially true when it comes to my bank. It seems to me that people at the bank should always be trying to impress me, they want my money there, and yet things go wrong ALL THE TIME. I chose this bank simply because of its convenience and because I like there commercials ( Logical reasons I know) and they also gave me a free gift when I signed up!! However, always when I least expect it do things seem to take a downward turn. Then I have to spend an hour on the phone with customer service only to be told that its also out of their control and they can't fix my problem. GRRRRR..... frustration. Anyways that's my Friday morning rant, and now I can get on with my regularly schedule day ! Hope Ya'll are having a wonderful Friday!

These are a few of my favorite things......

Here is my first (of many) posts about my favorite beauty products. These are my favorite eyeshadow products, and pallettes. In my collection and Organization video on Youtube I told you guys that I dont have a huge collection, and that may be true but I make what I do have work for me all the time.



These are my favorite pink colored eyeshadow;
Starting from the top they are MAC Seedy Pearl, Swish
and Vapour. The pigment is Pink Venus and next to it
the lonley UD Cherry

And a Pinch to grow an inch....

I will be the first to admit that I am not a big fan of my birthday. I love celebrating other peoples birthdays but when it comes to my own, I could actually skip it. And it has nothing to do with the getting older part, I just simply could care less. So when yesterday rolled around, just as it always does this time of year, I was more than happy to let it roll on by just like any other ordinary day. And it for the most part was just that, an ordinary day. I did however go out for dinner (sushi, my favorite!!) and Ice cream. And to top it all off the Yankees pulled out a win last night !!!! I got some awesome gifts from my mom and bought myself (every year I buy myself something that I truely want) my totally rad trip to Paris. Being 25 seems strange to me, like I should be a grown up now but still feel much like a kid, I guess I will always be a kid at heart!

I'm Back!!

Well I admit, I have been back for five days now, but have been busy catching up with work and sleep. My trip home was a success (if it can be gauged by such). My trip started out on a down note however, my Delta flight was originally scheduled for friday night at 7:30 and about 2 hours before I was supposed to be at the airport it was cancelled unexpectedlly, and I was rescheduled for Saturday morning. Despite that tremetulous start it went off without a hitch after that. Until that is my flight back to NY, in which I was delayed (while sitting on the airplane) for two hours and did not get home until 3:00 in the morning. It made for a very LOOOOOONG work day on Tuesday. During my visit home my mom and I went to a Detroit Tigers baseball game (for those of you who know me well, know that I am obssessed with baseball) it was so much fun and a great, Great game! This however got me thinking about MLB inspired makeup :) so look for Tutorials soon inspired by some of (my favorite!) the teams. In other news I am planning a trip to Paris for August, this will be my first trip to the city of lights and a place I have dreamed of going my entire life. My flight is booked and I eventually (after much comtemplation) decided to book an apartment for my 8 night stay. I am so excited a look forward to sharing more details with you guys as I continue to plan and book things!
