1. LOLLIPOPS and GLITTER NAILS
My love for jewelry lives on, especially when my friend Angel gave me one of her fabulous lollipop necklaces that she designs and creates! She’s also a Houston hair stylist and a very fun and creative soul! I don’t take myself so seriously, as we can tell by my lollipop necklace and super trashy glitter nails! (I will never do pointy nails though. Ever.)
2. BIOTCH ON A BUDGET
My “B” on a Budget blog post was the only fashion post we did this month! UGH! However, I love the retro fabulous way it turned out and we had fun but I miss doing more! I have decided though, that quality is far better than quantity!
3. SHALIMAR FOR THE APOCALYPSE
I have always loved Guerlain perfumes. My mom would buy them for me as gifts from about 4th grade and up. A much younger friend was making fun of an Instagram post in which there was a bottle of Shalimar in the background. Of course, I had wanted to show her that not only did I have a bottle of old school, high class Shalimar… but I also had enough to last me through an Apocalypse. ( And by “Apocalypse” of course I mean the pending step forward of the Anti-Christ, the fall of the world economy and the months long outage of our electrical grid, as we all have to scrounge for food and safety for months or years.) But hey, it will all be ok, because I have my Shalimar. And tons of Ramen Soup packages.
4. ANAVITA MOISTURIZER
I fell in love with a new moisturizer this month, Anavita. I did a quick little video for the cream, and took a few shots for it. While I do not feel comfortable with putting my face everywhere on the blog, it’s part of the job. Beauty products, makeup products and tutorials as well as the fun shoots are all me. It forces you to become comfortable with yourself. I realize that I’m not the most beautiful person in the world, but it’s ok. I’m pretty on the inside, damn it!
5. BITCH ON WHEELS
This was so funny! This dog was being wheeled around Nordstrom in The Woodlands by it’s hooman as she shopped earlier this month. They stopped long enough to chat and say hi. It was so funny how this pup just sat there people watching and enjoying her little mall outing. It was some neat kind of luggage on wheels with a pull strap.
6. TOO WEIRD FOR AUSTIN
I went to Austin for a fragrance summit this month. I traveled alone and sent my husband a fun photo to torture him, because I was about to treat myself to a fancy dinner out! I was sort of blue because he was supposed to come with me on the little road trip, but business got in the way at the last minute. I dressed for warmth and comfort, but realized I was way to weird, even for Austin! I’ve never seen so many beards in my life. Hey Austin…the 70’s called and they want their beards back! the Keep Austin Weird campaign is working. It’s a beautiful town and I can’t wait to go back when I have more time to explore. It’s worth mentioning that this picture was never Instagrammed or Facebooked or Tweeted. I’ve never once posted a mirror selfie in my life. I guess there’s a first time for everything. I will work harder to take more real shots this next month, with a camera other than my phone!
Thanks for your viewership for now, and enjo
