Great Finds

I really do love great finds. As of late, I have found some that might fancy you. For my birthday I got a bag of gifts. One of those gifts happened to be an impulse buy gift. You know, that last minute filler gift to make the bag look like there's more in it. I got flip-flops from the great store of Tar-get. Really you can't ever have too many flip-flops. But the best thing about them is that they were A DOLLAR! Okay, okay so you think that they are a dollar and they would only last a day. WRONG! They surprised me by the amount of comfort and squishiness my feet felt below them. I just felt like jumping in them for hours. Yeah... they may have that cheesy floral design that doesn't even match your outfit that day, but who looks at that anyway, your feet are covering up the design.

I made my way to Walgreens. I was just shopping for shampoo and conditioner. NOT! I really was on a mission for purple nail polish. Dark purple that is. I watched a movie and saw an actress wearing it and it looked just too cute. So my obsession began.
First brand I see is Sallie Hansen and I spotted the purple right away. I still decided to walk down the entire cosmetics aisle just to see the other options and see what new beauty styles I am missing out on. Na, nothing else looked close to what I wanted. Then I took my time and came across another purple. Only problem was that there was not a listed price in sight. Just then I got smart and lifted up a plastic flap and BAM! $1.99
So I make my way home, quickly groom my finger nails, push back the cuticles and paint away. Stroke one, and it's way too clear. "Shit", I say to myself, "I should have gone with Sallie Hansen." Stroke two, okay it's lookin a little more like what I wanted. Then I think to myself, (it's gonna take me like eight strokes to look how I wanted, then it would be all thick, sticky and look like I had a horrible twitch while I was painting them). Stroke three, "Perfect!" See I knew that $1.99 nail polish would truly pay off. Thank you, Sinful Colors you made my day. And hopefully some elses. :)

"Who wears short shorts!"

Is it just me.... or are the shorts that girls are wearing these days a little too short? And when I mean girls, I mean the female gender of ALL ages. The other day I caught myself starring at this gals behind, in her say.... early to mid twenties wearing short shorts. You know, the kind where the rim of the shorts meets the brim of your rear cheeks. I was really questioning how she could look so cute in them? And when I say that, I am really saying "they look like normal shorts on her, but not on me". If I even try, there is now way in hell I could pull it off without being tacky. I would look like I shopped in the juniors section at JC Penney's. And then I think I figured it out. Having long legs is a plus (something that wasn't on the "important" list in my gene pool ), having a booty makes the shorts rise (giving you the "sneak peak preview"), and most importantly.... I am getting older.
I'll just stick to the comfy jeans, even thought it's 104 degrees outside. I laugh at myself, cause I remember once asking a friend why she always wore jeans during the high heat of the summer in the Valley of the Sun. Now I have my answer.
Thanks Booty Queen.

New Beginings

I love the month of JUNE! Really, it is the best month out of the year. Having a birthday in June is a big plus, you have a perfect 6 months till Christmas and then 6 months till your special day. But there is still something about June. Summer! That warm sun I worship any time of the year is in full bloom.
So this June I have decided to start this blogging thing, why not everyone else is doing it. Right at the time to celebrate my 31st birthday, a new year for insights and change. I have noticed over the many years of my young now approaching to the early midlife, some come with the ups and some come with the downs, yet journaling is always a great way to relieve stress of any kind. It is also a way to reflect upon yourself and grow if you choose. Now I have chose the not so private way of writing. And for those who already know me, I am not so private. I will share to you all of me and some. :) So enjoy.
