Weekend Wrap Up

This past weekend was rather busy. Friday night, Lil Mama and I spent the night at my bestie’s house to help her get things in order for my godson’s 2nd birthday party, which was carnival themed. It was the cutest party ever…See

...and when she was done, decided to take it with her

 

 

After the party was over, my SIL was also celebrating her birthday. My inlaws, another couple and the Mr. and I hit the town to help her party. We had dinner at Brio and then headed out to a local lounge to enjoy some dancing, drinks and music. If you follow me on Twitter you know I had a great time as evidenced by my tweets

How was your weekend?

Beauty Frugal and Fab Skincare

I’m Getting a Facial..

Remember on my post here, I asked for your advice on facial products to use? Well, I  have still been very lax with my skincare regimen. I wash with soap and water and dab some lotion on it..yes lotion, not to be confused with moisturizer. Well a few weeks ago when we were in Miami and I went to the spa and got a facial I heard some technical terms which basically meant I need to take care of my face and wear sunscreen, and get facials at least every 6 weeks until all of the deep down impurities are removed.

*sigh* Who has money for that? I was ecstatic to wake up today and see that Eversave has a coupon for $19 for a normally priced $45 facial at N’timate Hair Studio and Day Spa.

Oh yes! I am going to get me a facial, and I am going to maintain it unlike last time…somebody hold me accountable..okay? If you are in the Atlanta area, this is a great opportunity to treat yourself to something nice. $20 to let me lay down while some one pampers me..Sign me up.

Speaking of accountability. The esthetician in Miami used a Clairisonic on my face. Thinking about putting that on my list to Santa. Anybody have one? Is it worth the investment?

Are you unlike me and take care of your pretty face. Do dish your secrets.

It’s Award Season Part III

New Mom in the Windy City hooked me up with the Kreative Blogger award. Before passing it on, I have to fill out the form and provide you with 7 random things about myself. Here we go.

  • Name your favorite song: We Deserve Each Other’s Love by L.T.D.  and gospel would be Total Praise by Richard Smallwood
  • Name your favorite dessert: Chessecake
  • What pisses you off: a whole lot of things. But to be specific when people try to suggest things to you and their life is spiraling out of control. I just want to say..YOU do not qualify to offer ANY type of advice, feel free to take some.
  • When you’re upset, you: say bad words…I’m getting better at channeling my anger
  • Your favorite pet: All of my past goldfish. Too many to name.
  • Black or white: Gray
  • Your biggest fear:  Failure
  • Best feature: Hair
  • Everyday attitude: Be happy. Have fun. Whatever it is, it will work itself out..in the meantime LIVE. I’ve been miserable before wondering about the what “ifs” NEVER going back there!
  • What is perfection: A easy Sunday afternoon, watching TV and spending time with the family
  • Guilty pleasure: Hood rap music. I know all the words. I’m still a work in progress!

7 Random Things:

1.) I am always thinking about something. My mind never stops.

2.) I attended Florida A&M University for undergrad and earned my MBA from Nova Southeastern University

3.) I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.

4.) I will strike up a conversation with anybody. This is a trait that I have acquired within the past year

5.) I like to color…and no, not like the reference in “Sex in the City” but as in coloring book. Although that type of coloring isn’t bad either *giggles*

6.) My car is always a mess. ALWAYS

7.) My glass is always half full…sometimes
