Summer Skin

I think I found it.  Just what I have been looking for.  A lightweight moisturizer with SPF that doesn't make my skin break out or sting my eyes.  And this has an added bonus: Retinol for those pesky crow's feet!  For the past few summers I have experimented with different products that I dislike or just go without (gasp!).   It seems like Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer might be just what the Dr. ordered.  I'll keep you posted.....TTFN!

Hung

It's days like these when I turn really need one of my favorite skin care products, Coffee Berry with Hemp Oil Eye and Lip Balm by Skin Organics.  It boasts to reduce puffiness as well as help minimize fine lines.  I love the stick aspect for easy, mess free application.  What love most is the price.  I got it at Whole foods for about $11.99.  You really can't beat that!  This product is a lifesaver and since I can not hang tough like I did in my younger days, I need it mornings after I have had a little too much fun.  Last night was definitely one of them.  We had a GREAT time at the wedding in Cape May.   The weather could not have been more perfect.  It was so nice to return to the venue for our wedding.  We got up early in order to allow some time for relaxation on the beach for a few hours before the nuptials.  There is nothing, and I mean nothing, I love more than sitting on my ass and reading on the beach.   I read a magazine and a couple of pages of Bethenny Frankel's A Place of Yes on my nook.  Anyway, long story short I am having this issue where I have a few drinks and I go from zero to annihilated in a matter of minutes.  I am not sure what is wrong with me, maybe it is age, maybe it is lack of food, maybe it is mixing champagne and wine...I am not so sure, but it's really starting to upset me!  I just want to have fun and had a few drinks and not be a stumbling, bumbling idiot!  I even ruined my new shoes falling in the parking lot on the walk home.  Unacceptable!  As of right now, I am no longer drinking in social situations...Ha, famous last words!  But seriously, I've got to figure something out.  If you have any suggestions, I am open. TTFN!

Throwback Thursday: Lip Smacker

I love Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker with a passion.  I have loved it since high school.  I use to keep it in my pocket and it would be all warm when I put it on.  Back in those days they didn't have this fabulous trio.  My mom got it for me a few years ago and it's A+.  I keep the clear one in my makeup bag for my morning routine.  I don't need a lot of color on my luscious lips, so it's the perfect gloss.  Don't be fooled by the clear gel, it still tastes and smells like the original stick.  The tube is also great because it has nice tint.  Love, love, love this.  Cheers to Dr. Pepper (preferably diet) and Bonne Bell!  TTFN!

Happy Booster

Yes, there is such a thing, and it's pretty & smells great.  I have recently found Physcian's Formula Happy Booster™ Glow & Mood Boosting Blush.  And you know who up there knows I need it! Infused with plant extracts they claim these products mimick the effect of endorphins, making you feel happier and more joyful.

Hmmm.  Plants, happier, sillier, joyful, mimicking endorphins?  I can think of other things that fit this description.

I discovered this product back in January while poring over one of the professional journals magazines, I read whenever I get a chance (this means when I actually stay awake after 8:30 pm).  I literally stalked my local, Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, and Wegmans to see if they started carrying it.  I finally found it at Rite Aid while visiting my hometown one weekend.  I immediately drove home (my parent's house will ALWAYS be casa numero uno) and powdered my whole body.  Just kidding, but maybe I should try that.  I really did try it right away, and while I can't really say that it made me chipper (that is extremely difficult) it did make me happy to have a new make-up item. Maybe I need to layer with pressed powder?  I wonder if some mornings I walk out of the house looking like a rouged up 90 year old.............?

Amazon Mom

No, I am not talking about the huge women.  What I am talking about is Amazon Mom.  I am an avid user of Amazon.com for many, many things.  I have even ordered nail polish.  Great color too!  Amazon's new feature site, tailored to you and your gaggle of munchkins.  I just joined and am anxious to see how well they deliver.

Guilt Factor

Times I feel like a crappy mom: Right now. 
My 4 year old son is a certified hoarder. He takes my personal belongings on a regular basis.  Personal belongings include chapstick, eye cream, candles, pillows from my bed, and various other random items.  Naturally, when I realized that my glasses were missing I went straight to him and demanded to know where he had stashed them.  I have been searching every hiding spot (b/c although he is smart, I am smarter and know all of them) like a lunatic, to no avail.  All I remember is that I last saw them on the kitchen table.  I realized today that I was using them while reading on my school issued laptop.  THEN I realized that I must have put them in my laptop case when I took it back to school!  It was a glorious revelation.  I actually made my son go with me to school (after contract hours? Gasp!) and check my laptop case because I typically do not bring it home with me.  Alas, there they was!  Getting to the point, I feel awful that I have been hounding him for weeks and making him feel bad, when he actually had nothing to do with it.  What is a mother to think when every time she turns around something is missing, i.e. deep pore cleansing mask??.  However, I am pretty sure this won't be the last time, and it happens to everyone............right?  


P.S. This it totally Karma.....and it is a bitch
