TOTD | 04.28.12

Hey ladies, just stopping by real quick to share with you what I'm currently wearing on my toes. I love wearing darker/bolder colors on my toes. And I went with OPI Ogre-The-Top Blue, which is one of my favorites to wear on mu toes. On my accent toe I'm wearing Essie Luxeffects Set in Stone. I'm loving this polish and I can't wait to pair it with different polishes.

NOTD | 04.28.12

Hey ladies, just stopping by real quick to share with you my nails. I think this has to be my favorite combination for this past month. These two polishes I recently picked up, with a bunch of others that I need to blog about asap.

Anyways, I'm wearing China Glaze Wicked Style along with Essie Luxeffects in Set in Stone on my accent fingers. I'm loving for the luxeffects look so far and I can't wait to try out some of the different colors.

Swag Shoppin | La Senza

Hey ladies, just stopping by real quick to share with you a small haul I picked up from La Senza recently. Originally, I went looking to get my mom something for Mother’s Day and I was lucky enough to see that they are having an amazing sale going on. They had bras and sleep wear on sale for 50% off. So I decided I should get some new sleep pants seeing I left mine in the hotel when my hubby came to visit last month. I also picked up the sweat pants I’ve been wanting for awhile and I’m happy that I wanted for them.
Have you recently bought anything from La Senza?

Swag Shoppin | Gap Kids

Hey ladies, I stopped by Gap last week sometime looking to see if they had any great deals. I had wanted to use up the store credit I had but I didn’t like anything that thing had in the woman’s section that caught my eye. So I decided to see what else I could get for Princess. In their sale section they didn’t have alot of items to pick from in her size but I want able to grab 3 items:


Grey Sequence Zipper Hoodie - $14.99 (original $39.95)
White Sequence Tank - $4.97 (original $19.95)
Floral Skirt - $10.97 (original $34.95)
I’m completely happy with the things I picked up for her and I might check out another location to see if they have different items on their sale racks. Have you recently picked up anything from Gap?

Swag Shoppin | Old Navy

Hey ladies, I went to Old Navy last week to see if they had any good deals on children’s clothes and I didn’t really find what I was looking for. Nothing seemed to pop out at my for Princess. But I noticed that with all the shopping I’ve done lately, I haven’t really bought her any pants or jeans. They had a pretty good deal going on 2 for $28 so I grabbed a boot cut and skinny jeans style. Then while waiting in line I saw the cutest Hello Kitty “piggy” bank and had to get it for her. She’s always running around the house picking up everyone’s change that’s lying around and hiding it in my old purse. Out of everything I got her, she loves it the best.

What do you think of Old Navy’s clothing?

Swag Shoppin | MAC

Hey ladies, this past weekend I had the chance to stop by MAC and grab some goodies. In this trip I only picked up 2 items because it was super busy and I had to be at work right away. I was super surprised that I was able to get both of the items that I had wanted. The first thing I grabbed was the Lightscapade MSF; I’ve been wanting this for awhile and every time I try to get it it’s sold out. And the last item I got was Magenta powder blush. It’s such a bold color and it has a matte finish. I can’t wait to wear this blush; I believe it’s going to look stunning with my skin tone.



Have you tried the Lightscapade MSF? What are your thoughts on it?

Swag Shoppin | Victoria Secrets & Pink

Hey ladies, so about a month ago I had shopped at both of these stores and they had given me coupons were I could win up to $500 and it was finally time to redeem them. So I first stopped at Victoria Secrets and grabbed some of their lotions and body sprays. I’ve been waiting to get some of their scents for awhile and they had a great deal going on. So it was 5 for $35 and you got 2 free, so basically it was 7 for $35. I didn’t need the complete 7 so I got my mom her favorite scent “Love Spell.”  I ended up winning $10 off my purchase so it cost me just about $27 after tax.
The things I got were:
Mango Temptation Smoothing Body Scrub
Mango Temptation Daily Body Wash
Ravishing Love Fragrance Mist
Ravishing Love Soothing Body Scrub
Love Spell Ultra Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotion
Love Spell Fragrance Mist
Romantic Wish Fragrance Mist

When I went into Pink, I wasn’t really looking for anything because I’m not a big fan of their clothing. But I saw that they had pretty cool coffee mugs and decided to grab one. I’ve been using it every day since I got it and I’m sooo happy with it. I also won $10 off my purchase so it cost me under $8 after tax.
What’s your favorite Victoria Secret scent?

Swag Shoppin | Bath & Body Works

Hey ladies, just stopping by to show you the few things I grabbed from Bath & Body Works after work one day. As I said in a recent post I’m getting ready to move and they had the Wall Flowers and refills on sale for 3 for $10. I decided it would be a great to have them to place somewhere in the apartment when I don’t want candles burning all the time, maybe I dunno lol. Anyways, I only grabbed 6 things in total seeing I’m a bigger fan of their candles by far.
2 Fire Fly Wall Flowers
2 Island Margarita Refills
Peach Bellini Refill
Bahama Fizz Refill

Which do you like better their candles or their wall flowers?

Swag Shoppin | MAC

Hey ladies, just wanted to share with you the one little item I got from the latest collections from MAC. Originally, I was planning on getting more but seeing I just put a deposit down I decided I don’t need it all. Maybe I will be lucky and the next time I get some extra spending money I will be able to grab some of the other items. Anyways, I only grabbed the Watch Me Simmer. It came out in the collection before this but I wasn’t able to get my hand on it but I’m so happy I got it now.

Did you pick up anything from this collection?

NOTD | 04.14.11

Hey ladies, I’m just here after a long day of celebrating my princess’ 3rd birthday. We had a great day at home, it snowed the night before so we didn’t get to go to the zoo like I planned but I still plan on taking her once it warms up again. We ended up having a great day of bonding; movies, games and playing dress up. I even gave her a pedi and mani. I will have to take pics of them tomorrow to share along with pics from her birthday. Anyways, she’s finally laying down and watching a movie before bed and I decided I should paint my nails as well and I went with OPI Chocolate Shake-Spear and I’m completely loving the nude look it gives me. I think this will be my new go to color for the next few weeks.

What do you think of this color?

Swag Shoppin: Bath & Body Works

Hey ladies, just coming by real quick to share with you the 2 new candles I picked up from Bath & Body Works. I went in the store this time around because I wanted to exchange one of the Fresh Picked Pears hand soaps and get a different scent. The one I exchanged it for was Malibu Citrus. Then I grabbed 2 of the 14 oz candles; Island Margarita and Pineapple Mango. I decided to grab them because I had a couple for $5 off the purchase and seeing they are both so amazing I had to get them!!
Do you like these two scents?

Hey ladies, this past week I stopped by Shoppers Drug Mart while they were having their weekly 2 day special. This week they had alot of great cosmetics on sale but only 2 set of things caught my eye. First I have really been wanting to try the new Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 Hour Shadows and they were on sale for $4.99 from the regular $11.99. I picked up the colors:


-          25 Bad to the Bronze
-          35 Tough as Taupe
-          40 Tenacious Teal
-          50 Edgy Emerald
The last 2 things I picked up were 2 of the Kate Moss lipsticks for Rimmel London. I’ve been seeing these around alot lately but they never had the colors I wanted to give a try but they finally had them in and they were on sale for $3.99 from $7.99. The colors I got were numbers 06 and 13; they don’t have names.

Have you tried the Color Tattoos and what are your thoughts on them?

Swag Shoppin: Chatters

Hey ladies, I’m back with another small nail polish haul. Like I said in my previous post I had wanted to pick up one of the China Glaze Hunger Game nail polishes. And to my luck the one I wanted wasn’t sold out. I do want to grab more that that collection but I’m trying to be good because I have sooo many polishes right now that I haven’t touched in ages. As well I grabbed another polish from the sales bin.
The colors I got this time around were:
-          China Glaze Smoke and Ashes
-          OPI I’m Suzi & I’m A Chocoholic
I’m honestly in love with Smoke and Ashes and I already want to change my nails to it. Keep an eye out for a post using it real soon.

Swag Shoppin: H&M

Hey ladies, just sharing with you the couple things I picked up at H&M for Princess. I had gotten her something in the last haul that didn’t end up fitting so I exchanged them for a few things. I decided to get her a pair of overalls because every little kid has owned a pair. As well I picked up 2 basic white tees for her to match with other things I’ve recently picked up. I’m hoping to get more things from there but they didn’t have alot of things I liked in her size. Hopefully next time they will.

Swag Shoppin: Bath & Body Works

Hey ladies, just coming to share with you some goodies I picked up this past week from Bath & Body Works. You will be completely surprised that it isn’t one of my normal candle hauls. I’ve been trying to be good on how many more candles I buy this month and I wanted to get some hand soaps cause I’m currently running low. I was originally going to do the 7 for $25 deal at the mall I work for. But my friend decided to drag me to a different mall and I’m happy she did! The mall we went to had them on special for 3 for $10 and I had to grab 9.Well I didn’t but I really wanted to use my $10 off my next $30 purchase coupon; and with that I only end up paying under $21.


I grabbed only the foaming hand soaps because those are my favorites. The ones I got were:
-          Fresh Picked Watermelon
-          Fresh Picked Peaches
-          Fresh Picked Tangerines
-          Fresh Picked Raspberries
-          Fresh Picked Strawberries
-          Pacific Blue
-          2 Fresh Picked Pears
-          Vanilla Berry Sorbet
Have you tried anything of the Fresh Picked scents?
