Swag Shoppin: La Senza

Hey ladies, I decided to stop by La Senza again this past weekend because they were still having the 7 for $27 deal on all cotton panties. I decided that I needed more and decided to get only thongs this time around. I honestly love the ultra soft ones because its like wearing nothing. You don't feel them at all. This time I picked up 8 and still only spent $30.

I honestly can't wait to grab a few more this week after work. We got a bunch of new colors and styles for spring and I want to grab a bunch before this sale ends!!

Swag Shoppin: New PJ's

Hey ladies, last week I picked up some new pj's for work. Seeing it's the holiday season we are allowed to where our pj's on the weekend. I ended up picked up 4 in total. I picked up 2 night shirts and 2 flannel sets. Honestly these are the best pj's ever. They are so comfy and I love them. My favorites are the leopard print one and the white one with the writing on it. I picked these up from La Senza.

Hoping that this weekend I will be able to take a pic in one of them. Seeing there are only 2 weeks left and I don't work Sunday's.

Have you recently picked up any new pj's?

Swag Shoppin: Mini Shopper's Haul

Hey ladies, for the last 2 weeks my princess has been super sick till the point she got a diaper rash. So I had to get some cream for that and I couldn't help but walk down the beauty aisle. I saw the L'Oreal Sticks on sale for $6.99 and I picked up the color 302 Bois De Rose. And then I picked up the L'Oreal Extra Intense Liquid Eye Pencil in 798 Black. I've tried this before and it works really well and I'm pretty sure I lost it or missed placed it when I moved. But I have a feeling it's in one of the boxes that I still haven't gotten around too lol.

Have you tried this liner before? What are your thoughts on it?

Swag Shoppin: La Senza

Hey ladies, just wanted to stop by real quick to share with you what I picked up at La Senza yesterday. I picked up first Beyond Cleavage bra in black. This is my gel push up bra and I'm liking it so far. Lastly I picked up 7 new panties. They were on for 7 for $27, which is a great deal. Can't wait to grab some more before this deal ends, even though I don't really need anymore LOL.

Have you recently picked up any bras and panties?

Princess' Winter Gear

Hey ladies, just stopping by real quick to share with you what I recently picked up for princess. A couple of weeks ago it snowed and it has stuck around and it's super cold out. And with the wind shield it's ever colder. So I needed to get my some warm things. I stopped by the Children's Place and saw these cute little hat and mitts. I picked the ones with the puppy on it but they had so many other choices. Honestly, I wanted to get them all. I might go back in a couple of weeks and see if they still have them and pick up another set. Maybe the little cow ones or the little frog ones.

Learning Activities

Hey ladies, my little princess loves to read and color. So recently I picked up some little activity books from the dollar store. I picked up 6 and they are based on Dora, Diego and Spongebob. So she will definitely love learning from these.

Swag Shoppin: H&M

Hey ladies, today I went shopping to find some things that I could wear to work and I couldn’t find anything at all. Like my dress code is all black and semi-business casual. Everything I saw was mixed with other colors or too casual for work. But I wanted to get a pack of tights from Aldo and I saw these for $15 and the ones at Aldo were $20. I’ve been looking for a good pair of tights forever and I can’t wait to wear these in an OOTD and show you how they look on.

Swag Shoppin: MAC

Hey ladies, I stopped by MAC the day I picked up my new moisturizer. I was looking to see if they had the shadow Moleskin and to my luck they did. It was the very last one. It’s really nice transition color for my skin tone and I can’t wait to use it. It’s a limited edition color as well and it has a matte finish. I can’t wait to use this to create a new look, so keep an eye out for a FOTD post featuring it.

Were you able to get your hands on this shadow?

Deep Conditioning...

Hey ladies, I haven’t done a post on my hair in forever. Lately I haven’t really been in the mood to take care of it at all. But it snowed last week and again yesterday and with the dryer weather I need to put more time and effort into my hair. Today was the first time I deep conditioned in over a year I believe, I’m not 100% sure. But it has been a good 6 months since the last time I did it. Anyways, I washed my hair with the Marcoon Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. Then I used the Silk Elements Mega Cholesterol Conditioning Treatment; I sat under the dryer with it for about 20 minutes as well. Then I rinsed it out. I detangled my hair with a wide tooth comb and roped twisted it up. Hopefully I will get to post a picture of how my hair looks tomorrow after I take out the twists.

Pic 1: Before I went under the dryer

Pic 2: After I got out from under the dryer

Pic 3: After I rinsed my hair out

Pic 4 & 5: After I rope twisted my hair.

Hey ladies, this is the look I created and wore to work yesterday.

Swag Shoppin: Aldo

Hey ladies, so this week when I got paid I decided to get a new wallet. I haven’t owned one in ages and I was tired of digging around in the bottom of my purse to find my cards, money and other items. I ended up getting this leopard from Aldo Shoes and it was regularly $22 but I got it for about $16. I also picked up a clutch/purse of the same print. It was on sale as well for $25. I even lucked out and had a coupon code for an extra 15% off which was great. I love getting things on sale.

Have you recently picked up anything from Aldo?

New Moisturizer!

Hey ladies, on my shopping I decided I wanted to try out a new moisturizer. I’ve been hearing alot of good things about the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel on youtube. I didn’t want to buy the big size one but luckily they had the smaller one in stock. I picked this up for $15 and I hope it works for me and doesn’t break me out. I can’t wait to start using this to see how well it works.

Swag Shoppin: Bath & Body Works

Hey ladies, this is a late post on this haul, I’m pretty sure I picked these up 2 weeks ago but I forgot to post about them. I love checking out what Bath & Body Works has on sale for 75% off and I decided to pick up a few more of the hand soaps. I picked up them in Caribbean Escape and Nectarine Mint; in both the moisturizing and deep cleansing.

Potty Training Update ...

Hey ladies, just wanted to share with you a quick update on how the potty training was coming along. She still refuses to use the potty but she will use the big potty now. Well not really, she still pee in her pull up then ask to sit on it. She usually pees in the big potty once a day or every two days. So it’s getting better and she loves just sitting on it and flushing it, which is a good thing in my book. I’m hoping she’ll be 90% potty trained by Christmas.

NOTD: 11.12.11

Hey ladies, I just finished attempting to file down my nails and painting them. I wanted to try out Essie Power Clutch that bought a few weeks ago. It's such a beautiful color. I paired it with Revlon Starry Pink. Really like how this combination turned out. I used Ruby Kisses Nail Harder as my base and top coat.

More Goodies For The Giveaway!

Hey ladies, so in my last post I talked about a couple of lipsticks that I picked up for the giveaway. I really enjoy the Revlon Color Burst and Super Lustrous lipstick line. They are both really amazing. So I decided to get one of each to add to the prizes. The first one is the Color Burst lipstick in Peach, it’s just a pretty color and it should work on most skin tones. And the other one is Primrose from the Super Lustrous line, this is a very popular color on youtube but it’s a little too light for my skin tone but I thought one of my fabulous subscribers would love to have it.
