If I was LOST...

So we all have our go-to beauty products that we love and can't live without.  If I was stranded on the LOST island with Jack and Sawyer, these are the products I would want to have with me. 

C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Balm.  Hi.  It freshens your breath, smooths your lips, and tastes fabulous!  It also gives a great shine.  You can buy this at Bath and Body Works.  Better yet, you can wait til BBW offers their amazing "Free Lip Item with Purchase" coupon, and you can buy whatever you want and get it for free!  Originally, I liked the Mentha Lip Shine.  Then, this came out, and blew the "shine" out of the water, because I hate that goopy sticky mess that lip shines have.  I'm a simple girl, give me some lip balm.

Maybelline ColorSensational in Totally Toffee.  I've been using this lipstick forever, and I will cry the day it goes off the sheleves.  I also recently learned that my favorite blogger in the whole wide world - Pioneer Woman - a fellow redhead, uses the same shade!  Very cool.  But this lipstick is fabulous, because the color stays, it doesn't smell funny, and it also moisturizes.  You can't ask for anything better.

TreSemmé Flawless Curls.  I use the shampoo, conditioner, gel, curl enhancing cream, and the hairspray.  Sometimes the mousse, too, if it's on sale.  This is by far the best product I've ever found for curly hair.  And as TreSemmé makes known, they have salon style quality for the drugstore price.  Which is exactly what I need.  My hair has never been more healthy or moisturized, and my curls have never looked better!  If you have curly hair, try this now.  I mean now.

Maybelline Great Lash in Blackest Black.  This is not America's #1 Favorite mascara for nothing, people.  It is the best mascara I have ever used in my life.  And I love mascara.  I can't leave my bed without it.  That's right, I don't even leave my BED without it, forget the house.  Buy it, use it, and love it.  Forever.  This has beat out tons of department store mascaras to be the fan favorite of like, every woman in the entire universe.

Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions Spot Treatment.  Hello, lover.  I just found this not too long ago, and I am so glad I did.  It's the best spot treatment I've ever used.  Granted, it smells like old ladies, but it's worth it.  As someone who was not blessed with the best complexion in the universe, I need a good spot treatment.  With a little dab of this before bed, I wake up, and pimples are completely gone.  It's a miracle treatment.  It's not cheap, but it lasts a long time.  Try it!





Those are my absolute favorite go-to products.  What are yours??

A message to Rob Lowe...

Dear Rob Lowe/Robert McCallister,

Thank you for redeeming yourself and once again, being a good husband to Kitty on Brothers & Sisters.  I was really getting worried about you.  You really need to shut up once in a while and let your woman talk, a lesson that most men would be good to learn.  That speech you gave, and showing up to the appointment?  Pure gold.  Good job, Rob.  Please continue accordingly.  I don't like having to dislike you and your beautiful baby blues.

Thanks :-)

How I start my day...

 This is Lily, my beautiful kitty cat, that has taken over my apartment in the short 4 months she's lived there.  I love having her around for company.  We have a very established routine in the mornings.  Alarm goes off at 6:20 am.  I get up, turn it off, press the 30 min nap button, and go back in bed, to pet her and talk to her, and spoil the living crap out of her.  Then, I get up, and go shower.  She sits on the toilet or on the rug outside of the shower and waits.  As soon as that shower curtain opens, she's on her feet, and talking.  She meows and meows, licking the water off my legs and impatiently rubbing against me because she knows what's coming next.  I put on my robe, and together, and I do mean TOGETHER (in the sense that I walk, and she rubs and weaves in and out of my legs and feet, and in the 8 steps it takes to get to the kitchen, I trip an average of 16 times), we walk to the kitchen, because it's breakfast time.  She gets her usual can of kitten chow, I grab a glass of milk.  I leave her to devour and nom all of her food, while I go to get ready for work.  But our ritual's not over yet!  Oh no.  I sit on the bed to put on my makeup.  By this time, piglet has finished breakfast, and she comes up on the bed to lay in my lap while I put on my makeup, purring and watching my every move (and sometimes, bats over the foundation bottle and spills it all over the comforter... but we're talking about her cuteness, so I'll just forget to mention that part right now...).  Then, I get up and do my hair, and she watches every move, and while I blow dry upside down, she gets on the flour and bats my hair around.  I like to think she's helping, but she's prolly just being a little jerk.  And then comes the dreaded time, when I must walk out the door and go to work, when I would much rather stay home and cuddle that cute little furball.



How do you start your day??
