Sorry, that is a pretty terrible Black and Yellow reference.
I should stick to clothes. And that I will! Remember when I used to be scared to color block and incorporate too many colors at once? Long gone are those days. I now love grabbing multiple colors and trying to figure out how I can make them work together. Case in point: green and yellow. This combo literally made me want to grab my car keys and go to the beach. Doesn’t it look like I need a mojito in my hand?
I can’t get over this ADORABLE wall decal. I know the hubs will absolutely kill me if I buy it for our home, but I’m severely tempted. Like, I may have the checkout screen staring back at me as we speak. Like, I may have hit the submit button. Oh well, he’ll get over it, right?
So I know I don’t post too much about beauty here on the blog, but that doesn’t mean I’m not a beauty addict! I absolutely live for high end (& low end) makeup products. From a very young age, I started my makeup collection and I haven’t looked back since. Unfortunately for me, it has one pitfall: I don’t know how to apply any of it correctly. For this reason, I often feel like I’ve used a bunch of product, but no one can tell I’m wearing makeup. That’s why I can never go wrong with lipstick – now that I can apply!
That’s why I am totally digging Estee Lauder’s new punchy Pure Color Collection for Fall 2012. Among my favorites were their Violet Underground eyeshadow palette, which is one of my beauty staples now, and the beautiful lipsticks featured above. What I love the most is that each shade contains silver and gold sparkle pearls which neutralize lips, making them look beautiful on all skin tones for a faceted, sequined shine that sparkles. And you know I love sparkles!
But I don’t want to be greedy and keep them all for myself, which is why I’m hosting a giveaway (!!!) featuring some pretty sweet swag from the collection! Up for grabs is a lipstick in Violet Crush, lipgloss in Rebellious Violet and a powder eyeshadow in Cyber Ruby. I chose these 3 because I think they would make such a fun, punk statement for the edgy girl in all of us!

I’m pretty sure I’m the only female that does not become a drooling, blubbering piece of goo when I see pictures of David Beckham. In fact, I always tell the hubs that he reminds me of a pirate. Maybe it’s his squinty little eyes? Maybe it’s the fact that I have heard his speaking voice? Maybe the problem is that I am looking at his face. Yep. That must be it.
We had big plans for Saturday. After too many back-to-back vacations and just general bad eating, the hubs and I are on a strict calorie-counting regime, and we really want to incorporate more exercise and physical activities into our daily routine (we were getting way too comfortable being couch potatoes). This is why we were really excited to pull our bikes out of the garage and start riding again. Unfortunately, Miami’s fickle weather did not work in our favor. Mid-way through our ride, it began to torrentially downpour. We had to pedal to the metal all the way back home, but at least we got a lot of shrieks and laughter in. That’s gotta count for something right?
