Look for Less: Steve Madden vs. Qupid

Hey y'all! I was browsing online and came across these. Hello, lover! These are Steven by Steve Madden Cathi. I was in love immediately! But for $179.99, I fell out of love just as quickly! Lol! Don't get me wrong, I still love the shoe, but not the price tag. I went on the hunt for a look-alike and found the Qupid Pulse-29 for about $30. As my luck would have it, they don't come in the same color as the lovely Cathi.    Woomp Woomp! Sometimes you have to pay for what you really want, right? In this case......

WTF Did He Just Say?!

source So I'm at my desk working today when a supervisor walks up. As he's approaching me, he says "Kunta Kinte. Mrs. Kunta Kinte." WTF?! My reaction was "What?!" A neck rolling what-the-f kinda what. Was he serious? Now to keep myself from getting upset, I just started laughing. He proceeds to say something about me going "back to my roots" and that he actually likes the "natural hair thing." Y'all... is he really serious right now? I still don't know if I should have been offended or not. He didn't say it in a rude way, but who...

Stripes and a Movie

One of the things that I would really like to do on this blog is outfit posts. However, my lack of a decent camera and camera man may be an issue! For now, I'll have to work with what I have!    Shirt: Wet Seal // Jeans: Levis // Blazer: Forever 21 // Shoes & Belt: Target I know the picture quality is bad, but hey... whatever! Lol! Yesterday, I had a girls day with my mom, my aunt, and my two sisters. We went to see Tyler Perry's new movie Good Deeds, which I really enjoyed. I love to catch a movie midday!...

Amethyst - Nails of the Week (NOTW)

Hey y'all! I got into nail polish a few months ago, but then I got lazy. I've never been the one to keep my nails painted. Mainly because I really hate dislike the size and shape of my nails, so I didn't want to draw any unwanted attention... lol! But hey... it is what it is and they are what they are! Now I've decided to try to paint my nails at least once per week. I'll let the picture do the rest of the talking.  Wait... I have a little more to say! I love this color, but it is a little darker than I expected. For only...

Get to Know Me

I always like to read random facts about the bloggers that I follow. In the words of another blogger (which I can't remember), I love to know the person behind the blog. So I thought it would be fun to share a few random facts about myself. 1. I love Clorox wipes! I always try to have at least one container that hasn't been opened. I've ran out once and don't want that to happen again! 2. I'm a people watcher. I think that's why I like reality tv and personal blogs so much. 3. I love photography. At one point of time I was ALWAYS...

Hello Lover! Shoe Haul

Hey y'all! I haven't posted in a week and it feels like an eternity! There's really no reason. I've just been lazy. Now with that out of the way... here we go! Over the last few weeks, I've found some great deals on shoes! And we all know (or maybe you don't... but now you do) that I LOVE shoes!  Remember this post about my first pair of Jessica Simpsons? Well I couldn't help myself, so I went back to Dillards and came out with these... ... Jessica Simpson Waleo in Cranberry. I LOVE this shoe! The color is gorgeous. I can't...

Cuticle Cream

 Let me start by saying I am one of those people who goes into a store (even if I need NOTHING from that store) just because there is a sale and buys things that I don't need just because they're on sale. So my local Kmart, along with others, is going out of business and of course I had to go check out the sale. (And call me cheap, but I think nothing should be only 10% off at a liquidation sale!)  I've been thinking about getting a cuticle cream for a while now. My cuticles are extremely dry in the winter. Dry cuticles...

Hello Lover... JS Bendie

S.H.O.E.S!  I don't think I've shared on the blog how much I LOVE shoes! One of my favorite designers is Jessica Simpson. I love her shoes! Since I'm a frugal gal, I don't care to spend $80+ on one pair of shoes. That's why I don't didn't own a pair of Jessica Simpson's. Yesterday, my best friend/Godsister called to tell me that Dillard's was having one of their great shoes sales. Of course I put on my shoes and ran for the door! I was in Dillard's for all of 30 minutes and I came out with my new babies! In the words of Carrie...

Round 2

I'm back with another smoothie attempt! This one came out a lot better than the first one. It wasn't quite as thick as a smoothie should be (but it wasn't applesauce either...lol). I used 1/2 banana, 1/2 lemon, 1 orange, and 1 apple. I also used ice and a little milk. I used too much ice or too much milk... or maybe too much of both. Sorry... no measurements! With the first smoothie, the banana was pretty much the only thing I tasted, which is why I only used a half this time. I used the lemon for extra taste and ummm... the skin...

Maybelline SuperStay

Cocoa. It's not quite this dark. SuperStay is the first foundation that I tried when I began experimenting with makeup a couple of years ago. At the time, I really didn't know anything about using a primer. With my oily skin that definitely wasn't a good thing. It would get very oily and that's the reason I stopped using SuperStay, even though it matched perfectly! After two years of continuously trying new foundations and shades, to no avail, I decided to try SuperStay again. I now know that a primer (a GOOD primer... which...
