Rosina Rosinazanna

Did that make sense? LOL! When I saw the names of these two eye shadows (Rosina & Zanna), it immediately made me think of Rosanne Rosannadanna. I know. I'm a geek.

Anyway - these two shadows are from the Lost in Faerie Collection from soon-to-be-closed Aromaleigh. So if you're interested, you gotta move fast! Aromaleigh is only taking 100 orders at a time now - and they'll be closing forever very soon.

Please ignore the puffiness around my eyes. Facial edema (especially periorbital) is one of the lovely side effects of one of the blood pressure medications the doctor gave me. And of course, it's the one I would experience! Fortunately, I'm now on a new medication. Let's hope that one doesn't have any unsightly side effects, LOL!

Have a great weekend!

Today's wisdom

Chocolate chip cookies are the miracle cure for a myriad of problems.

I love shopping!

I mean I really love shopping!! Especially if I find something cute or a phenomenal deal!

I just bought 5 shirts from Ann Taylor - and only ended up paying $65! Sales and free shipping rock!

And right now, the deal is even better, because you can use the code SALE25 to get an add'l 25% off sale prices and free shipping!!

I got this one to just wear around the house - mine is a pale shell pink color. But it looks like they're sold out now!

This one is so much cuter IRL - I was a little iffy about it until it arrived. It's adorable! I was impressed by the quality - and it washes well, too. I was worried about how the charmeuse would look after washing & drying - but it looks perfect - no ironing needed! Love the color, but wish I could've gotten more colors in my size.

And I think this one is my favorite! It's rare that I can wear anything with ruffles on the front, because when you are a well-endowed girl, the last thing you need to do is draw more attention to your chest! But these ruffles are so tiny that they lie completely flat and they actually end up drawing attention up and down, away from the chest area. So I bought 3!! I got black, white, and a deep fuschia/magenta. I think these will work well under a sweater or jacket, too.

Have you come across any great deals lately? Share!!

Happy Nat'l Tequila Day!!

I think this might be my favorite day of the year! MAS TEQUILA!!!

We all need to honor tequila today by indulging in an adult beverage containing our favorite brand of tequila. I'll be paying homage to Cabo Wabo tequila!

Here's a little blurb about Cabo Wabo Tequila Reposado from the website:
"Recognized as one of the finest tequilas in the world, Cabo Wabo Tequila Reposado delivers a distinctive experience that even the most discerning drinkers find delightful and unique. An assertive nose of sweet lime, orange and fresh herbs excites upon pouring. Maturation in American oak casks for 4 to 6 months infuses our Reposado with a bold peppery flavor and hints of fruit that linger on the palate briefly, followed by a long, spicy finish. A truly incomparable spirit, Cabo Wabo Tequila Reposado is ideal for sipping solo or in a top-shelf margarita or other mixed drinks."

They even offer some yummy-sounding recipes to maximize your enjoyment of the tequila. How cool is that? I'm partial to the Caborita and the Red Rocker (both the drink and Sammy, LOL!).

How are you celebrating Nat'l Tequila Day?

Remember - Drink Responsibly!! Don't Drink and Drive!!
