I used 2 of the new colors I got for this manicure. I'm wearing OPI Chocolate Shake-Speare with China Glaze One More Merlot on the accent fingers.

Swag Shoppin: Build-A-Bear

Hey ladies, just sharing with you the gifts my little princess picked out for herself and her cousin. My niece’s birthday is this weekend and princess’ is just 2 weeks ago. I’m super excited they both are turning 3. Their not our little babies anymore, super sad about that. Well we were looking to get my niece a gift and princess said we should build her a teddy bear and I decided to let her pick one out for herself as well. She decided to get the same one as well. She is beyond excited to give it to her cousin and can’t wait till the birthday party this weekend.

Swag Shoppin: Gap Kids

Hey ladies, just sharing with you the first of many posts on things I picked up for princess. Her birth is in about 2 weeks and I’m doing a huge shopping spree to get her new clothes and things singing she’s not going to be my baby anymore. The first place I stopped by was the Gap and grabbed a few things before I went to work. I’m probably going to have so many more Gap posts because they have so many cute things for Spring and Summer.

The things I picked up:

-          Spaghetti tank top in 3 years old

-          Purple dress in 3 years old

-          Demin romper in 3 years old

-          Floral romper in 3 years old

-          Birthday girl long sleeve shirt in 3 years old

I’m not usually a huge Gap fan but they have so many great things this year. Honestly, my princess is going to be looking better than me this summer. Make sure you stay tuned to see her in her OOTD posts starting this weekend!!

Riding the Carousel

Hey ladies, today I went and had a mommy and daughter day with my princess. The weather was really great so I decided to take her out with me. We went to 2 different malls the one down town to grab some things from H&M and the Gap and then we went to the mall I worked at to get some things from the Gap and Bath & Body Works. While at the mall that I work at we stopped by the carousel and went for the ride. She always goes when she goes shopping with my mom but I’ve never taken her myself. The whole time we were on it she was like “Giddy up horsey, go faster!” It was the cutest thing ever. Honestly, going to make more effort to take her to little things like that.

**Sorry for the closeness of the pics, I was on break**

It’s Official...

I’m no longer a single lady. On March 14, 2012 I got married. Yes you read that correct, I’m officially a wife. I got married to my boyfriend, Archiri and omgosh I feel like I’m in heaven. We had a small little wedding with a marriage commissioner. It was nothing too fancy because we are currently planning a destination wedding in either Barbados or St. Lucia. I’m beyond happy right now and I still can’t believe I’m a married lady. I know this is a super short post but I just wanted to share a couple of pictures with you from my special day.

I will be updating regularly, hopefully, on how married life treats us and including my little princess. Her birthday is next month so stay tuned for pictures from that special day as well.

Swag Shoppin: More Goodbyes

Hey ladies, just wanted to share with you the new goodies I picked up from MAC. I decided to see what other shadows they had in their goodbye section online and saw that Goldenrod was there. I decided again that instead of ordering online to find it in store and they had it in stock. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get it but I don't really have a good yellow shadow in my collection and the swatch of this was pretty good. I can't wait to try it out and see how well it works.

Next, I picked up Typographic, it's a Matte2 finish and that's my favorite finish from MAC. It's not getting discontinued and there's no need to run out and get it right away if you don't need it. I picked it up cause I don't have a really dark black color and I thought this would work wonderful. I can't wait to try this color out either.

Lastly, I picked up the Wholesome Fluidline. Honestly, I don't need anymore fluidlines but honestly I love how they glide on easily. This is another limited edition color. I wanted to get the other ones but I new I wouldn't use them.

Do you own any of these items? What do you think of them?

Swag Shoppin: La Senza

Hey ladies, just coming at you with my last post from La Senza for awhile, hopefully. I decided to get 4 more of the luxury panties because I wanted to use my free $10 coupon. I also used my free pantie coupon as well and got one of the new cotton brazilian panties from the spring collection.

I'm honestly hoping this will be my last post until at least middle of April. Gotta finish saving up for moving and a wedding.

Swag Shoppin: New Lashes

Hey ladies, just wanted to share with you the new lashes I picked up. Lately, well about around Christmas I've been really into wearing lashes. About once or twice a week on average and right now I only have 3 new ones left and my favorite Bliss #1 lashes left. Have worn the same #1's the last 8 or more times and I'm pretty sure they will be trash pretty soon, probably by the end of the month. I really enjoy the Red Cherry and Bliss lashes but I haven't really wanted to order online and wait anywhere from 2-4 weeks to get them. Or making a minimum purchase of $50 to get them; if you know any good sites to order them from could you please leave the info in the commentS below.

Anyways, this week at Shoppers they had the Quo lashes on sale, 2 for $12. Usually they are $7.50 each, which I don't really like paying for lashes. Seeing I'm not the best when applying them. But I decided I would give them a drive because my little sister always wears them and she says that she really likes them. I picked up a total of 6 lashes:

2 - 802

2 - 804

1 - 803

1 - 808

I can't wait to give these a try. I'm really into dramatic lashes. I do wear them on an daily basis and I love it. I did pick up a couple of natural looking ones, possible for work.

Have you tried Quo Lashes before? What's your favorite kind of lashes to wear?

Bible Verse of the Day

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

Acts 5:38-39 KJV

Swag Shoppin: Bath & Body Works

Hey ladies, I'm back with another post of candles from my latest stop to Bath & Body Works. I swear like I feel like I hope daily at that store, which is probably true lol. I had to get 2 more 14oz candles before the sale ended. I also grabbed 2 mini candles and a luxury bath for my princess bedtime baths.

14oz Bahama Fizz

14oz Wild Strawberry ( a new favorite, might need a back up )

1.3oz White Palm

1.3oz Peach Bellini

15oz Sleep Sommeil Lavender Vanilla Luxury Bath

Honestly, I need to stop with the candles but omgosh they smell amazing. It's like heaven. Oh I really need to get my hands on the little turtle and pineapple holders. They are super cute. I think I will get those next and be done for awhile.

What candles have you picked up recently?

Swag Shoppin: La Senza

Hey ladies, I'm back again with another haul from La Senza. This week they had the luxury panties 4 for $30. Usually they are 3 for $26 so I decided to grab 4 to match with bras I recently picked up. Also in my last haul from then I shared with you guys that I got cotton panties 5 for $26 but the promotion changed to 7 for $27. And because I bought them within a week of the new promotion I was able to get 4 more panties for under $2. So I just grabbed 4 that I've had my eyes on.

Swag Shoppin: MAC Goodbyes

Hey ladies, just wanted to share with you the two new shadows I picked up. I was looking on the site in the goodbye section and I saw a bunch of the shadows were getting discontinued. I really wanted Bisque but they were sold out of it online. I decided to see if they had it in store and to my surprise they had it. I also decided to grab Hepcat. I can't wait to give these new shadows a try. Do you have these in your collection? What do you think of them?

Swag Shoppin: Bath & Body Work

Hey ladies, so I went back again to Bath & Body Works to grab another 14.0 oz Peach Bellini candle. I will probably go back later this week and grab another one of the Bahama Fizz candles. Anyways the other items I got were:

14.0 oz Mango Cilantro

1.3 oz Sunrise Lagoon

1.3 oz Market Peach

Have you tried any of these out? What's your current favorite scent?

NOTD: 03.06.12

Hey ladies, just wanna share with you what I'm currently wearing on my nails. I was feeling to go more on the neutral end seeing that I've been wearing bright and bold colors over the last few weeks. I'm wearing Essie Glamour Purse with Sally Xtreme Wear Strobe Light on my ring fingers. I'm really enjoy how these two polishes look together.

What are you currently wearing on your nails?

FOTD| 03.07.12

Hey ladies, just stopping by real quick to share with you the look I created today. It’s the same look I wore yesterday to work but I filmed it as a tutorial and it’s uploading as you read this. I did refine it a bit but I really love how it looks. It’s great for an everyday look to wear to work. If you want you can always tone it down by wearing a softer lip color but I love bold lips and I can get away with wearing them to work on a daily basis.

Swag Shoppin: New Polishes

Hey ladies, just wanted to stop by and share with you the new polishes I picked up this past week. I honestly haven't been in the mood to buy polishes even though I really wanna grab colors from the lastest Essie and OPI collections. But I decided I would let myself get two Sally Hansen Xteme Wear polishes from Shoppers seeing they were buy one get one free and it was only $4.50; which was like paying $2.25 for each one. I picked up Marine Scene, which I'm currently wearing on my nails. It's actually a really pretty color. Then I got In The Spotlight, which is like a glitter polish. I'm not a huge fan of it yet but I think it will grow on me the more I wear it. Lastly, I picked up another nail repair polish. My last one finally ran out and I needed something; seeing that lately I've been cracking my nails at work.

What do you think of these new colors?

Swag Shoppin: MAC

Hey ladies, just wanted to share with you what I recently picked up at MAC from their newest collections. I still want to grab one of the stacked pigments but I'm not 100% sure yet. Well so far I picked up 2 lipsticks; Quick Sizzle and Dish It Up. I've been wearing Dish It Up and I think it's such a beautiful color on the lips.

Did you grab any of these colors?
