I dedicate this song to all of my favorite Thrift and Goodwill stores.

Perfect NUDE Lips: A Flattering Nude For Deep Skin Tones

I'm always searching for the "perfect" pink, red, purple!!!  Well, I finally found the perfect Nude lipgloss!  I'm sure I'll find one that's even more perfect, but for now, this is the one!!!  The brand is  Loreal Hip, Shine Struck Liquid Lipcolor (say that 3 x fast).  The color is called Reserved.  This picture is making it look a little more pink that it is. It's more of a true nude.  This color would probably look good on any skin tone, but I think it's more flattering for olive skin tones and deep skin tones.  It was on sale at Walgreens for $3.  I should have bought 2!  What your favorite nude lipstick/gloss?

Fashion Fun: Putting A $6 Outfit To Work!

First off, let me just apologize for these sucky photos!  I'm in the process of getting a another new camera so bare with me.  Anyhoo, yes, you heard me right! With the exception of the shoes and belt, this is a $6 outfit!  The Asian print jacket and the skirt were $3 a piece via my local thrift store.  The shoes and belt are from Forever 21 and didn't cost much either.

Life & Music: Floetry's "Feelings"

"We have to die a little bit yuh know?"
I love this song and I'm feeling this line a lot more these days.  I think we all go through a series of spiritual rebirths.  At least I do anyways.  You come to this realization that you've been living for others a lot more than for yourself.  Lately I've been questioning a lot of my who, whats and why's...and I'm learning a lot about the person that I am, the person I want to be and the person I refuse to be.  I am enjoying the journey thus far.  I've had to give up some things and even some people.  It hurt a little, but I know that it was essential for my spiritual growth.  I don't have it all figured out yet, but I'm determined to get as close as possible.


Not looking back!
