Wowza! Already a question from a follower
" Just Me, you are a mom of 3, wife, full time worker, and now a stellar blogger. How do you do it?"
Well, reader (who I don't know who sounds awfully like i posed the question to myself) I attribute everything to THE MOST RAD POTTERY BARN TOWELS IN THE WA WA WORLD! So I did receive my pottery barn towels yesterday. I haven't had a chance to wash them or even use them...ARE YOU KIDDING. I have a husband. Which means I wasn't able to sneak them into the house, wash, and miraculously the towels would appear in the linen closet. The shock is much less to him when bought items just "appear." Any bags, or rustling of bags just sends him into a tizzy."How much did you spend?" with a disapproving look generally follows. I can just hear my buddy Bret Michaels making a faint "aaa -oooo" ( get well soon Brett-schkin... like munchkin with Brett in it, ) But the towels did make a great first impression.
Fake tans and fake lashes. Ok, maybe it sounds better as FAUX tans and FAUX lashes. I am all about it fo shizzle. In your twenties, yes, in my past, its ok to fake bake. Wrinkles who cares. WAKE UP. At thirty, we are the prime target for..ouch...sit down.. WRINKLE CREAMS. still hurts. waiting for it to go away. pain.pain.Grimicing causes more wrinkles. AHHH! With the impending fear of aging and dying of skin cancer, i have opted to spread chemicals over my body for that sun kissed glow.
The first product, Jergens glowsomething, worked great. Careful not to get it on ankles, elbows, hands... It looks really dirty. Like you need Bret to rub you down with some PB towels. Thinking that there was a better option I tried, the Neutrogena spray. Not so good. I look like I have a Micheal Jackson skin disorder. I have white and brown streaks everywhere. Longs sleeves all week. So back to Jergens it is.
La LA Ladies. You are simply missing out if you do not use faux lashes. Yumm. My nose has never looked hotter in between these lovely locks of lashes. I don't use strip lashes. I put in the individual lashes. So easy, SO cheap, so swank.They last for about 2 weeks. The strips I bet are easier but they are applied daily. Please try it. Drew Barrymore does, as stated in her lash blast mascara ad. You can be cool like me and Drew. Let me know how it works and if you want more tips.
Time to end for today. Stay tuned for Tune-it down, Tiger you are Thirty Thursday. Word to your mutha.

okay, a few things...you should not have to hide your purchases from your husband. 2. thank you for not fake baking. It's so 80's and so bad for you. I will try the jerges lotion. I need a tan. 3. the fake lashes are so cute on you and you turned me on to them. HOwever, I think the strip ones are better b/c they aren't such a bacteria haven. I like the MAC ones and wear them very little but love them when I do! :)
Noted on the lashes. But the individual one's are made to wear longer. I havent had a problem yet, been rockin' for a year. Hold on...let me fix my glass eye.
Much like Debbie, I am stuck in 1985 and still fake baking. I LOVE IT! The good news for you is that I'll be that old leather lady that you see at the store and say"At least I don't look like that!" and it will make you feel better! Or maybe I'll get PB towels and they will revitalize my skin!! Maybe by then I'll have learned to sleep on my back so my faux lashes aren't all bent and scraggled when I wake up! They are SO BEAUTIFUL the first day!
Can I tell you the whole time I read this post I had shoop stuck in my head..... thank you for making me smile on this hump day!
1. I totally fake and bake ... but only once MAYBE twice a week - just to get a little color...I'm not leathery/orange/gross like most... just sun kissed... plus I stop in the summer when I'm outside more so whatevs :)
2. I have tried and tried and tried to wear fake-lashes and I JUST CAN'T DO IT! They always fall off... I get the glue stuck all over my freakin' fingers and I look scary in them... I MEAN SCARY!! Perhaps a tutorial on the appropriate usage of faux eyelashes...
*HUGS*
I can totally help a sista out with the lash action. You just need the right tools. Tutorial sometime next week fo sho. You will be batting those bad boys in no time :)
exgf, amanda turned me on to fake lashes. I ended up doing mine and my entire bridal party on my wedding day. they are so easy..just gotta be careful. Perhaps we should have a "how to put on fake eyelashes" convention in chicago say, um, next month? (this way I can see my friend Just me)
