I just read a Sophia Loren quote ...

"Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti."

I love her.

And I'm making spaghetti for dinner.

Weird beauty math: Chanel nail polish

Size of a bottle of Chanel nail polish: 0.4 fl oz
(OPI, by comparision, is a larger 0.5 fl oz bottle)

1 U.S. gallon = 128 fluid ounces

Which would mean you could get 320 bottles of Chanel nail polish out of a gallon of product.

At approximately $24 (USD) per nail polish (let's assume we get a good deal),
that's the price equivalent of a

$7,680 can of paint.

If TLC channel's new show "Surprise Homecoming" ...

isn't sponsored by the Garnier anti-puff eye-roller, it should be.

I'll take 6!

The Rapture outfit

I'm thinking slutty with lots of sparkles.

And waterproof mascara. I'm guessing things might get a little emotional.

If my enormous nail polish collection is any indicator,

I'm not marriage material ...

unless you can easily remove a husband with acetone, that is.

If I did a video ...

on the look I rocked most this week, I would have to call it

“Hair up/Tore up: An impromptutorial.”

Glitter lip gloss

I have realized lately that I hate lipgloss with glitter in it. 

HATE.

No matter how small the particles are.

It annoys me. It hurts when I rub my lips together.  I can’t handle it.

I am a delicate flower; Think “Princess and the Pea”.

Even if there are 8 mattresses between a sharp, spikey, sparkly particle and my lips,
I completely lose my shit.

found a bottle of WakeUps ...

in the cupboard this morning.

According to Garnier, caffeine is anti-puff, so I’m going to throw 140 thousand of these suckers in the bathtub and see what happens.

An open letter to the colour black:

We’ve been told for years and years that you’re slimming, but none of us have lost a single pound.

Kindly explain  yourself.

With anticipation of a favourable reply,

you get what you pay for

Bought a cheap, Aussie knock-off hair conditioner and hated it ...

so decided to use it as shaving cream instead ...

and had to laugh, when I noticed that it's called "Down Under Naturals"

picking date outfits ...

Was taking to a guy-friend this morning and mentioned to him that I have a date on Saturday:

Him: What'cha gonna wear?

Me: I don't know yet.

Him: Wear something  hot.

Me: I haven't decided. Well, I know what nail polish.

Him: So you have decided then.

Me: Huh?

Him: Just nail polish. That's a good outfit.

Me: I don`t think that sends the right message, dork.

Him: Screams "keeper" to me!

Me: You know how women say they dress for other women, not for men?

Him: Yeah. I've heard that. I don't get it.

Me: Conversations like this are why.

eye vey ...

MeMe remarked, while making her breakfast this morning,

"I don't know why there's eye gel in the fridge"

Because mommy's a hot mess, honey.  That's why.

bubblebath / troublebath ...

Was in the bathtub tonight, realized I didn't have a washcloth, so I hollered for my 9 year old daughter to bring me one.

She ran in, handed me it to me and said

"At least there's ONE that doesn't have makeup on it!"
