Who would’ve thunk it?
I know I’m ready to get my paws all over this. http://www.maccosmetics.com/whats_new/3006/index.tmpl
Makeup inspired by CATS from MAC Cosmetics.
I’m a cat lover. Maybe even borderline crazy cat lady. (You’d never know it. I’m restrained with only 2 cats…and I have lots of human interaction, etc.) Hahahaha.
My fave is the Palace Pedigree colors. But, I’m thinking I’ll have to make an appointment and head over to the MAC store to get madeover with the colors. I’m kind of stuck on wearing pinks, purples and mauves. I’m up for a new fall look.
I’m curious to give this a shot.
Have you noticed that cats are becoming trendy? Or is it just me?
CAT LADY PRIDE!
I always get my haircut and my stylist makes me look fab. Thank god, she’s my stylist…and if she doesn’t, I probably shouldn’t be going to her. Well, she cut up this awesome look for me and I got a herd of compliments on it. So, three days later, I decide it’s time to wash my hair. (I have think, dry and curly hair that doesn’t really get oily.) I screamed, I cried and just couldn’t get my hair right. My bangs kept laying in this weird arc, rainbow-shaped arc, instead of flat against my face.
Here’s what the original ‘do looked like:
Totally Cute right? I just couldn’t get the bangs right though after that! I tried parting them further back, further forward, more the to left, more to the right. UGH! Well, I decided to YouTube it. Low and behold, I found a video that did the trick. This video saved me from having bad rainbow bangs and screaming and crying on the floor that I just wasn’t ever going to look cute.
So, now, I watched that…and I felt doubtful that it’s actually work, knowning my sucktastic skillz…
This morning, I messed around…and VOILA!
I sound like Veruca Salt. I do. But, I want it noooooow daddy!
I want this sweater. It’s totally girly, but would be awesome with the menswear schtuff that’s been hanging around for the last few seasons. I think some structured pants (like these, not that I can afford them, but you get the idea) and a ridiculously long necklace would be awesome.
Get it from Fred Flare: here
Also…need shoes. Want these. I speak like caveman. They are purple Sergio Rossi kitten heels. DROOL. I want….them…now.
Also on my list. Nikon D300. Ha.

SMILE! A T-REX LOVES YOU!
A lot of people ask me how I get dressed for work because of the fact that I work in a very conservative work environment. Heck you’re not even allowed to wear denim of any sort – this means denim jackets too! Many would rather see us all in suits, but I think business casual is here to stay.
I really wish I could live in jeans – I’m a jeans kinda girl. But, wearing business clothes has forced me to be creative in what I wear so it doesn’t get old and redundant.
I can’t say I shop at any one place specifically, but I tend to shop at Old Navy (you can’t beat the their prices and I love layers) and Banana Republic (classic but updated pieces!). I don’t like to spend a lot on clothes. I like to splurge on my shoes and bags for some reason. But, let’s face it – even though I’ve got the corporate job, it doesn’t mean that I’m rocking a big wig salary!
So what did I wear? (Note my awesome punta cana tan!)
Cardigan: Old Navy
Dress: Old Navy
Belt: Express
Shoes: ShoeDazzle (feel free to sign up through me! *winky winky*)
Because I know you’re dying to see these. WordPress is much to slow for me to upload all of these babies to here, so you’re going to have to visit my Flickr account to get a good look at these puppies.
Overall the trip was fantastic…and I would recommend anyone who goes to stay where we stayed. The hotel NH Royal Beach was an adult only hotel that was exceptionally clean and the staff was incredible. I’ve never had service like this stateside and I hear these folks only make $160 USD per month, yet they work long shifts.
We did attempt to go banana boating. We all probably tipped over into the ocean and got saltwater up our noses. That burns, let me tell you – I’m used to the dirty fish water of Lake Erie.
So, without further ado….click here to see the photos on Flickr.
I got these bad boys at the mall the other day. They aren’t real Ray-Ban‘s, but that’s okay, because they were only $13 and completely ridiculous. Hence, I had to have them. I snapped the quick photo of me with them on. Check out my bad hair.
Actually, I look a little goofy and alien like. I swear they look much cooler and Katy Perry like when I’m not using a Blackberry above my face.
I’m rocking these in the Dominican Republic with my matching leopard print Victoria’s Secret Bikini.

This is obviously a future post, because the time this was posted, I was probably hurdling through the air at 500 mph on my way down to the beautiful Caribbean. We’re staying at a nice all-inclusive resort and hopefully, despite the weather calling for “heavy rain“, it should still be nice. Enough for me to get my pasty white Ohio skin tanned.
Anyway, I’m a horrible packer. I base all my philosophies on “What if?” So, I tend to be a chronic overpacker. One strategy I implement is the “role playing packing”. What is this? A dirty sex game? No. Hardly…unless that’s part of your morning routine. *winky winky*.
So here’s my tips for packing that help me:
- Role playing: What this involves in lying in bed and pretending that you’re going through your normal morning routine, and inside of using your normal products, clothing etc, you drop them in your bag or gather them as you go. So you this way, you’re not forgetting any important part of your “routine”.
- “Do you need this”: Is this something that I am really going to do? I mean, will I really need those sport bras and work out clothes? Am I really going to work out on vacation?
- Map & Battlefield: Layout and group all of your items on your floor. Map them out and plan your strategy of attack.
- Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the minute before you leave to pack everything!
- Group: Group everything you need in one little location that you can grab before you leave. Things like cell phone charges, toothbrushes and etc.
- Think small: I always, always never take full size products with me. I go to the Travel size section of Target and buy up some little guys. You can always throw them away at the end of the trip to make room for your chintzy souvenirs.
I also pack well in advance. I can’t stand waiting to the last minute and feeling frantic.
What helps you pack efficiently and so you don’t forget anything?

Stewie
So, my cat has a bit of an OCD grooming problem. To the point where he gets sick on his hairballs. He also has a little hotspot where his leg used to be and he keeps licking it! We took him to the vet and here the doctor thinks he’s OCD.
What’s the cure for OCD in kitties? Xanax. Yep. You heard me right. Xanax. I give him just a quarter of one .5mg tablet and he sits there happy as a stoner with a pan of brownies! He turns into this sweetie little love muffin.
I actually went to CVS/Pharmacy and was like, “Uh…I have to get this filled…FOR MY CAT”.
Naturally, the kid at the register must have been new or an intern and says, “Uh…this is a first.”
Believe it or not the prescription bottle actually says, “Stewie (CAT) MyLastname”. Ha!
I also have to give him Pepcid and Laxatone to calm his hairball laden belly.
The joys of owning an OCD cat.
Which, I’ve included a cute little picture of him on the right there. See, he’s a tripod kitty. He was only $15 at the Humane Society. That’s just $5 a leg!

What’s the difference between in-laws and out-laws?
At least out-laws are wanted.
Ba-dum-dum-chick! Wah, wah, waaaaaaahhhh…
Yeah, mine are making an appearance tonight. It’s always an adventure. We always go to the same restaurant and have the same uncomfortable conversations. Luckily, it’s not just me – my husband feels the same too! 
Do you get along with your in-laws?
