My Birthday Continues :)

One of my co-workers was out on vacation the day of my birthday and this week, she surprised me with this!! I ♥ surprises!!!

She got me a gift card from Hobby Lobby...I can't wait to spend it! I already have an idea of what I'm going to buy.

And she got me this adorable stack of notepads...LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It will match my desk at work perfectly!!

See the cute little pen on top that matches it? Thanks Janet!

See what I got with my gift card!!! Love these file folders...

and these cute little notepads from Hobby Lobby!!

I also picked up this muffin pan with my gift card since I needed another one.

Another girl I work with, Kim, got me a Target gift card! These girls know the way to my heart :)

Check out this adorable (or at least I think it is) bikini I got at Target - on the clearance rack...even better!!

Love this sailor-ish print!

My other friend/co-worker, Trea, treated me to Cheesecake Factory!! We both had our favorite...Asian Taco Wraps with avocado - she got me hooked on them .... soooo good!

We shared this AMAZING slice of Heaven...

every last crumb :)

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!! I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained . :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used. The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC. Yes, it's true. I have apparently been living under a rock. In a bubble. Something!! I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try. And O.M.G. I am so glad I did. Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh! 4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29??? It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!! I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty! They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers. I guess I should've gotten a picture bu...

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this. Let's talk about hair. I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love. I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see! Embarrassing subject? Yep!! I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now. One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!! There, I said it. Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation. Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this. Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it. And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue. I seriously could join a circus, people....
