Hello there

I haven't blogged in quite a while I see. I've been dealing with so much; deaths in the family, my pregnancy, and I went away for a week. Hopefully I'll have the energy to be more frequent in my postings. This pregnancy really has me feeling like crap and I don't want to do anything. Not even go online!!!????!!!

Oh the horror.

Recent Purchase

So, as you may well know, I've been feeling really lousy lately; but I recently made a purchase that brightened my day just a tad. I finally got my Marc by Marc Jacobs Oversized Sunglasses. AND I got them for a great price too. $75.00. I got them last week when Shopbop had their Friends and Family Sale. I can always depend on Shopbop to have what I need.

Yaaayyy Marc!!!

Tired and Grumpy

Sooooo, lately I've been extra grumpy and tired. Not quite sure what it is but I sure am looking forward to my vacation that starts in about a week and a half. I've been sewingALOT. I've made a couple pieces that I'm really proud of. I'll post pictures of them at a later time.

In other news, I just wanted to post a picture of these shoes from my Mark store. They're only $22. I bought a pair and they look super cute. Check out my Mark store for more cute finds.

I won!!!!

Shout out to Jodie from the Lova Revolutionary Blog. I won her Felt Keychain. Check out my win here and dont forget to check out her etsy store lovarevolutionary and lovahandmade.

Meet Mark

I've decided to take on a new endeavor today after reading my Lucky magazine in the hair salon today. I've become a Mark representative. Mark is an edited collection of the latest on trend products that have broad appeal AND deliver the unexpected "find". Like a boutique!

Extra Extra Lazy

Soooo... I'm feeling extra, extra lazy this Sunday afternoon. I woke up early and went and got my hair done, and then I was supposed to go and get a pedicure. Unfortunately, I didn't feel like going (lazy) so now I'm trying to convince myself that my feet look OK with the polish thats currently on. I'm thinking maybe I'll just get one when I get to Miami. Yes, I'm going away tomorrow.

Anyway, I was browsing Etsy while in my lazy state and read about the featured seller, necessityisthemother. Her stuff is really cute. She inspires me to get back on my sewing machine eventually. Maybe when I get back from my trip.I think that's why I enjoy crocheting so much, becuase it doesn't require me to get up from my comfortable bed.

Treasury

Soooo, my most viewed item in my Etsy shop was featured in another treasury today. Thanks to fifthquadrant for hooking me up!

Reccession Woes

I really wish this reccession would just be over already so that I won't feel so guilty when I moan and grumble about my current job situation. I am grateful that I still have a job, but right now I absolutely HATE the station where I am working. I know there are plenty of people out there right now jobless so that's where the guilt comes in cause I'm sure they would be so thankful to have any job right now. I should be happy I still have one.

Woe is me!

I won't say exactly where I work but I'll give you clues as to what company:
"We Deliver For You"is one of their slogans and they want to cut down from six day to five day delivery to save money.

Any takers???!!

Eyelash Ease

I wanted to put on some fake lashes today, but I normally have great difficulty applying those strips. I usually have to resort to getting the individual lashes, but I hate getting those done because they're hell to come off.

During my lunch hour, I ventured over to the local Duane Reade, and lo and behold what do I discover????!!!!!!

The Modlash Starter Kit complete with an applicator. I rushed home to try it out, and to my amazement, it actually seems to work. I find it easier to apply the lashes with the applicator than with my fingers or the tweezers.

Check out your local drug store if you're having difficulty and see if they work for you.
