100th Post!!!

Let's take a moment to celebrate my 100th post. Unfortunately, it comes at a time when I seem to be in a blogging slump. I'm just not getting any inspiration for witty bits to tell you all about.

But there was Tues Night. Me and Kiks (yes that’s Kira, I am renaming her) did a double header. First we went to the Momzillas Book Party thrown by Miss BabsieD on your right (Blog Roll!). The Author, Jill Kargman, has also co-wrote The Right Address and Wolve in Chic Clothing. I' thrilled that I now have a signed copy of her latest.

But the most awing part of the night were the rest of the women in attendance. I felt so plain and poor! These were the women Kargman writes about in her book. Perfect hair, makeup, nails, etc. and the clothes!! Designer’s all around. We are talking things I have only seen in print before, now right before my eyes. And I have to say, even the less than pretty ones still looked amazing. Most notable, a Chanel Chiffon Dress.

Then as we are leaving the venue: the Ralph Lauren store in Chevy Chase, we are handed our goodie bags. And what does it hold? Ralph Lauren Pure Turquoise fragrance! Oh, I also took home a linen cocktail napkin as a souvenir, don't tell.

Party Numero Duo was the Strange Hybrid Launch Event at the MAC Store in Georgetown. I was really drawn to Eye shadows in Rose Blanc and Seedlings, and both of the pigments. I took home Seedling, a great light smoky taupe, and Jardin Aires Pigment, a wonderfully sparkly golden color that just looks magical. I also got a brow pencil.::.at my latest brow wax, we discovered I have a hole.::. and a skin toned lip liner. I hate the look of a liner, but love the staying power.

I guess, since this is post #100, I should jam pack it with all kinds of beautiful goodness so here goes:

New purchases: Neutrogena Illuminating Microderm Cleansing Pads. A steal at $6.99 a box. I was expecting a $10+ price tag. You can really feel the exfoliation on these pads. My only complaint: a bit hard to keep on my fingers.

Boots Botanics Vitamin Recovery Mask: this is doing wonders to help heal my old pimples. It also stays creamy, so it’s great for wearing overnight.

I got my magnolia blossom perfume from B&BW for $5; holy bargain, batman!! I also picked up DL Vinyl Collection This Must Be Love and Fade to Black; haven't tried them yet. Also, Wexler Acne Spot Treatment, benzyl peroxide works so much better for me than salicylic acid.

Major Life-Changing Decision: I have taken off my fake nails, and am attempting to repair my nails and make them lovely. I'm doing this with the help of Rejuvacote, and when I start seeing results, we'll talk about them. I also used Essie It's In The Bag. This beautiful white with a hint of pink is a new fav.

And to round this post out: The Devil in the Junior League is one of the best books I have read this year. I am the total opposite of the main character, but I feel like I'm in her world and I want to be her. This is one of my must reads, and I am telling all my friends they have to read it.

Thanks to everyone who has been reading my blog, I’m thrilled that we made it this far. If you like what I have to say, offer me some encouragement to help me get back into my groove. I would love to have fresh posts for you everyday!
