I have been on a serious shopping freeze for most of this year.  Before I purchased the glosses below, I don't think I stepped in a  MAC store in months.  I'm trying to save a certain amount of dollars (I made my goal the week before last by the way) and nothing was going to get in my way...lol  Anywho, this mini collection was kind of exciting for me.  These Fashion Sets include corresponding gloss, lipstick and nail colors.  Since I'm not a huge fan of MAC nail polishes and most of the lipsticks in this collection are permanent, I immediately purchased the lipglosses that would be LE (limited edition) items.

What I Got....

Left to Right: Impassioned Lipglass, Chestnut Lipglass, Morange Lipglass and Rebel Lipgass

I really would like one more colored gloss, Angel.  I was a big fan of the lipstick back in my clubbing days and I think I want to revisit. I'll try and upload how the colors look on my actual lips.  So far, Impasioned and Rebel are my absolute FAVS!

This Wash 'n' Go was filmed August last year and I haven't done it since, but it's starting to warm up so best believe I will be doing it again.  It was one of the easiest styles I've attempted since I've been natural.

Hello World!!  I know I've been gone for a hot minute.  I've been neglecting this blog and my youtube videos, but hopefully I can get it together soon enough.  

Jacket:Thrifted, Shirt:Old Navy, High-waist Jeans: J Brand (I scored these for $19!!!), Shoes: Liz Claiborne, T-Shirt Necklace and earrings: Gifted by Porfiria Events (website coming soon).

Happy New Year Everyone!  I know, I know, a month too late...lol  Anyway, I hope you guys are healthy, blessed and are looking forward to the amazing things of this new year.

Okay so let's get to it.  Before this show aired, I had not really paid attention to the Kardashians.  I didn't care.  In a way, I still don't.  BUT, I really wanted to watch Kim and Kourtney Take New York, to see what makes Kim Kardashian so popular and maybe take a glimpse into her sham of a marriage to Kris Humphries.  Actually, I think the ONLY time I've discussed Kim, is when I heard that her 'marriage' was ending.  I was a bit outraged for someone who didn't care?  I think it was because she made a mockery of marriages, everywhere.  On that note, the show confirmed that Kim is a publicity whore (I know I'm late, but as I said I never paid attention).  She could have saved those tears in the last two episodes about rushing into things (yada, yada), because I wasn't buying it.  I am the first person to give someone the benefit of the doubt, but this was just too much.  Kris was/is a big goofball and obviously immature; so not ready for marriage.  Kim was just annoying and she nitpicked about everything.  She is not ready to be tied down and so not ready to have anyone else in her life right now, besides family and the media. 

Look, the real stars of this show were Scott, Kourtney (the prettier and BEST dressed of the three sisters in my opinion) and little Mason.  I love their relationship! It seemed the most real.  Even if not, they had me cracking up everytime they were on screen.  Can they get their own show, please?

Well, that's it for me folks on this subject.  Will I watch this show again?  Not sure.  More Kourtney, less Kim, then hell to the yeah.

Stay FAB FREAKING FIERCE! 

OMG, I have been gone for a little bit and was planning to stay away until after the holidays until I saw this video.  Sug betta preach!  I saw a poster on Facebook that read 'Stop Trying To Fit In, When You Were Born To Stand Out'!  I printed it out and posted it in my cube.  It's my life's motto.  Anyway, if I don't get back on here before the year is out, HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of you.  And a special shout out to my King, who turns 39 on New Year's Eve.  Enjoy the vid!

A couple of weeks ago, whilst hubby was out, I decided to walk down the block to this little Jewish church that has thrift items for sale.  They are always out there from 9-2, but up until recently I never went in.  I mean, a church with thrift items?? Thoughts can be deceiving. This is the second time I have come out of there with some pretty fabulous pieces and the only thing that held me back from buying more, was lack of cash. 

I LOVE color: Shirt $2

I originally picked this up in yellow, but figured I could do more with the pink: Sweater $1

C'mon you know I couldn't leave this vintage piece behind AND it had a belt?!: Vintage wool cape $8

This was my hot ticket item.  It looks even better in person.  I know a little old rich, Jewish, woman had this in her closet at one point in time, but now it's mine.  The buttons are so fab: Jacket $6
