I'm recently obsessed with balloons.  I can't exactly pinpoint why.  They are just so whimsical, bright, and light.  I imagine being carried away, wherever the breeze may take me..

I love mascara. I personally feel mascara makes or breaks the eyes, and in turn, an entire look.  Don't get me wrong, I go without quite a bit, in fact every other week, I'll go through a phase where I don't wear make-up to work (sorry work peeps); but, in the end- if I want to look alive, fresh, and complete- Mascara is a Must.

I just found this mascara by L'Oreal last week.  It blows my mind.  Honest to god, the first day I wore it, Rhett leaned over and touched my lashes cause they looked, well.. false.  In a very good way.

It is not clumpy, it goes on easy, it does NOT stick for-ever (i.e. it's NOT hard to take off), it literally makes my lashes look 10x Thicker and 10x Longer.  I haven't yet experienced any flakiness.  Even more, with the mascara on, I can run my finger lightly over my lashes, and 1. No flakes, and 2.  My lashes are soft.  It does not cake on like other thickening and lengthening mascara's I have tried.  

I read some reviews that said it dried out quickly.  I'm being careful to close it tightly (which is easy as the edges of the container line up if you have it closed properly), and I'm utilizing a little tip I found- don't pump the wand in and out, it exposes the product to dry air.  Yes, it is dramatic.  If you don't like dramatic eyes, don't get it.  But if you do- I give it two thumbs up and a Try It!

Chasing Rainbows

The Universe is so twisted sometimes.  
I was so bummed it didn't let me win the lottery on Saturday,
and then Sunday, it made me drive right through this rainbow,
seemingly to find a Pot of Gold (right?)
But no.  There was no pot of gold.   
it was so Cruel.


Now it's Monday,
and I'm still sad I didn't win the lottery.
I mean, I was going to split it with all my immediate 17 family members, and everything.
After I trained my replacement at work (yes, I totally would have stayed and trained someone),
I was going to go live in one of those Huts in Bora Bora for a month, or a year, or whatever.
And I was going to find the best hairdresser in the whole world, 
and get my new-sprouting gray hairs covered on a monthly basis.
And then I was going to dedicate 6 months to nothing but getting fit and running marathons, 
and buying new bikinis.  
After that, I was thinking I would pay a cook to teach me how to cook.
And I was going to throw parties every other day, creating all those things I pin on my 
"For the Party" pinterest board.

*sigh*

What would you have done if you had won?
