*cough cough* ---- our wedding anniversary

hi ladies and gents, yes, i'm still mia, i still have tendinitis, going through physical therapy and a bump in the road with that (why does it take 11 weeks to approve ONE physical therapy session?!?!)...now the pain is as severe as the beginning and i need to start all over again...ughh

anyways, came back from vegas last week and G (hubby) came back sick and i caught whatever plague he caught in the poker room...so i'm barely conscious. as i write this i am coughing up a storm. i called out of work today (didn't call out at all last week). so back to work tomorrow, can't miss more work, vegas and a wedding from two weeks ago has me backed up already, argh. anyways, through sun or rain tomorrow night G & i will be having dinner at one of our favorite restaurants for our religious wedding anniversary (we're weird, we celebrate both civil and religious dates, haha). here's a few shots from our wedding 3 years ago :)

my mommy!

for our anniversary he bought me a camcorder (canon vixia hf r20) and i love it already, i had tested quite a few and narrowed it down to the canon, it had the most bang for my buck. and for my early bday gift, he got me my long time coveted michael kors hamilton! i already had the outlet version but i always wanted the north south version and while we were in vegas he got it for me, don't laugh, i cried (i blame pms). thank you so much love :) i ordered the zippered long jet set wallet to go with it last week, should have by tomorrow! yay!!

east west michael kors hamilton bag in brown and gold hardware (outlet) along with the jet set zipper wallet

north south michael kors hamilton bag in luggage and gold hardware (michael kors store)

here's a preview to our las vegas trip!

i still have bday photos, new york photos, 10 year high school reunion and clubbing pics to upload and post, oy vey!

NYX $1.20 sale

Hey folks, yes, I've been MIA again, life is just going at a million miles per hour now, I can't keep up! I move in 15 days, have to buy a new car by next Wednesday, started physical therapy on Monday and I've lost way too many hours at work and I stand to lose more for the next couple weeks for more dr appts. I'm most scared about two things, my work load and packing with tendinitis. Just fabulous...

I want to touch a controversial topic, the NYX $1.20 sale that apparently never happened, haha. I must say, I'm slightly amused at how outraged people are. I understand they screwed up and all, but dang, some people have reported them to the BBB and reported them as a fraud...quite the accusation! I don't want to discuss this at great length, just wanted to say, b r e a t h e. I get it...but seriously, some people watched the sale for 24 hours or more, I give up after 10 min and move on bc other things are more important. To each their own, right?



I'll leave you with the view I've been having every night for a few weeks. So nice to go home while it's still bright out!

brunchy brunchy and my new raybans

Omw to another doctor appointment for my right arm, so I decided to share a few pics with you :). A set of girlfriends and I have brunch at least once a month. This past Saturday we went to one of my favorite places for breakfast, Original House of Pancakes in Rockville, MD. I ordered a Dutch Baby with fresh strawberries, yum. It's a super lightweight inflated pancake. You must try it if you haven't already!

The rest of my day was filled with errands, more than usual. Why? Because my car is acting like the Poltergeist all over again. I used the hubs car. No car for a few weeks, no bueno! It truly is a long story, so I'll spare you. long story short, its gonna cost a cool grand, *fabulous*.

On my face:

Revlon Colorstay Foundation

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer

MAC Sun & Moon Blush

L'Oréal lineur intense

Avon glimmerstick in brown (waterline)

MAC Viva Glam Lady Gaga Lipgloss

Ray-Ban 3025 Aviators

Hope you all had a blessed Easter! I surely did, spent it with family and friends at church and home. <3 Xoxo

Wishlist Wednesday

as a huge makeup collector (that's all i really do, i don't wear makeup much) i need a place to store my makeup and since i live in a small apartment (1,050 sq ft) i need to utilize every foot as much as possible. fyi - my husband despises my clutter, he doesn't seem to mind his so much, LOL.  i currently have a very sad attempt at organization and quite ugly, i have a plastic 3 drawer organizer (15 inches wide, 15 inches tall, 18 inches deep). it's huge but since it's plastic with strange curves, all the space isn't utilized at it's maximum potential and since the drawers are so heavy when i open a drawer it wants to sag and fall out of the container, no bueno. i also have a spinning makeup organizer on my bathroom counter that i find ugly now. it's called the Tabletop Spinning Cosmetic Organizer, sold by QVC. that's where all my foundations, concealers, primers and favorite lipsticks go. but having that organizer and the big 3 drawer plastic one on my bathroom counter is just overwhelming and ugly.

since my injury i haven't been able to put away laundry, do dishes or clean very much. i was feeling pretty down b/c of that so i did some youtubin for about 30 minutes as i was at home sick yesterday and saw this and fell in love!! it looks like the answer to my dreams *sigh*

it's called the Acrylic Makeup Cube and it sells for $175, i would personally need to purchase two. for that reason i will have to hold off on making this sort of purchase until I get around to selling a lot! i have a lot of makeup that i bought and thought would work for me...and turns out is the wrong shade or formula for my skin. i also have designer handbags that just aren't getting any love, time to purge! i personally wished i had a bedroom large enough for a vanity and i wished i wasn't such a packrat so that if i ever did get a vanity it would look decent and not a hot mess. anyways, if you want to order, the link is below.

What do you use for makeup storage, do you have a considerable amount of makeup that would justify a storage piece this large?

First Watch

On a very very rainy Saturday, with Tornadoes swirling around (same storm system that hit NC very hard), couple of my buddies and I headed over to First Watch cafe for breakfast. We were depleted from shopping that morning, and me from my Brazilian wax. The whole day my mind was in the clouds from that wax. We had some amazing food and I have proof of how amazing it was...just look at the before and after!

Service here was awesome, food arrived fast despite being a full house with a wait. Food is super fresh, cage free eggs, while wheat pancakes the size of your large plate, for example. They have amazing yelp.com reviews too. Reminds me, I need to write a review on them...

My waffle melted in my mouth, the bacon was good, the eggs were just so delicious *salivating*.

We spent the rest of the day house rental shopping, shopping and eating at Five guys along with amazing boba. My girls fiance was snooping around my car in the back seat and found an old picture of an older couple dated 1978...the lady looked so mean and creepy and the guy looked like he had "checked out" of life...very creepy. We threw it away after showing my hubs...gave me chills. That photo has been in my car since I bought it 4 yrs ago, no one until now found it. I have a feeling its what has made my car crazy. Engine died at 39,000 miles, battery died 3 times, fuse box is in need of replacement now ($1k repair), and more. Anyways, let's forget about my previously haunted car...

Happy Tuesday!

Cornerstone

My girl was back in town and despite the exhaustion, I stepped out to see her and have a good ol time. We met up with a group of about 10 gals which I know through her.

I was mixed up as another gal at least two times (in the first two pics w me)! I don't mind bc she's totally gorge and smart as heck! People say it was the hair, you be the judge.

had a great time despite the massive amounts of drunk college students, several that spilled beer and red drinks on me 3 times...and students that don't know how to use the word "excuse me". At least I had a great group and free cokes, guess the bartenders were disappointed I wasn't drinking, haha.

Location: Cornerstone Bar, College Park, MD

Update: My tendonitis is better but not 100%, still laying off from using my laptop since I'm already on the computer all day at work. Thanks to everyone who wished me a speedy recovery!
