It's Your Lucky Day!!

Just a quick lil story for your entertainment - or maybe pity - I'm not quite sure which. 

I've become involved in Tarte cosmetics (thanks to Ruby!).  The first tinted moisturizer I got is great, but just slightly darker than my normal skin color (but great for when I have a glowing tan - which happens so often).  SOOO I decided to go into Henri Bendels yesterday to just get a lil bit lighter one.  I was short on time, so I literally slow jogged right up to the counter, I was like "hi I have 12 and I think I need 10, sooooo can you just grab that I can pay and be on my way?!"  The sales woman was annoying (had her once before) - insisted on testing things and finally wound up with the one that I told her I wanted from the beginning.  So she goes to grab it, this is after she tried to push another type on me, but I stuck to my guns and then she convinced me that I was making the right choice.  This is how the rest of the experience went…

Woman:  Ohhh ummm yikes….soooo ummm…looks like we're out of 10, but are you sure you don’t want the other one??

Me:  Yah - I mean I think this kind just suits me best, so I guess I'll just have to get it somewhere else.
Woman:  WELLLLLL we just got a shipment in this morning, so let me run downstairs really quick and see - I'm positive there will be some more in those boxes.
Me:  Oh that's great- thanks.
**Cut to 10 minutes later**
Woman:  (as she running at me through the store with 3 huge boxes) IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY!!!
Me:  Oh such great news!
**She then proceeds to take out this brush & powder concoction and goes to try it on me. **

Me:  Umm I'm sorry I don’t really have time for this, can I just have the tinted moisturizer and I'll be on my way.
Woman:  OHHH yah so about that - we didn't have it.  BUT I totally think the other one is the best way to go anyway.
Me:  (getting slightly more annoyed as the time passes and now questioning why I'm even here) OK YOUR WERE YELLING HOW IT WAS MY LUCKY DAY SO I FIGURED THAT YOU HAD IT.  FINE JUST GIVE ME THE OTHER ONE.  (oh and I've also been there for 0ver 20 minutes, so I'm getting hella angry now).
Woman: (scurries over to the drawer searching…searching…searching…) Oh shoot (in this pathetic meeke voice)…we're out of that one too.

Me:  (say no words…look of death…storm out).

 

Happy almost Friday everyone!!  I'm heading to Deep Creek Lake with some of my girlies!!  Enjoy the weekends!!  XOXO

 

For Your Viewing Pleasure

So as everyone enters into their weekends - here are a few new summer programs that have been entertaining me.  Some I'm more embarrassed about than others.  And some are old favorites and some are brand new (at least for me)!

RHONJ & RHOOC - ok seriously I know these are old faves, but both of these seasons have been amaze!  I'm really loving them and I've been bored slightly in the past.  One of my fave moments was the ski slope fight on RHOOC - I mean who can really take anyone seriously in ski goggles?!  I was dying. 

 

 

And on NJ - shiz is getting rulll - rull quick.  Rosie is like front and center this season and a few of the others have taken a much needed back seat. 

America's Got Talent - there I said it.  I admit I kinda like it - it's grown on me.  I think the judges really interact well and the acts have been kinda incredible.  I think my favorite right now is Collins Key - he's such a cutie! 

 

And I do love  a few of the kids acts and the one comedian that is so dry and awkward you just can't help but laugh.

Below Deck - now this is actually a really bad show - but it's like a train wreck, I really can't help it!  Every week I need to find out what happens on the next episode!

Camp - this is another new one that is really kind of growing on me.  And it's not reality TV, so there's that.  But it's cute and mindless, so you need a few of those in the rotation.

The Vineyard - now I've only seen one episode of this, mainly because there's only been one, but it's terrible.  So basically that means it's right up my alley.  It's another reality one that takes place on Marth's Vineyard and all the people work at Black Dog.  It's very intellectual and deep.

Princesses of Long Island - I can't.  This show - ridic. 

 

 

It's so grating and their voices drive me bananas, but it's just that ridiculous that you can't not watch.  Some of the lines on it are priceless and so obscene - aka "only poor people mix cheeses" - like what does that even mean?! 

 

It's beyond not only offensive but doesn't make sense and just ridiculous.  And one of their boyfriends I'm pretty sure is gay, so they need to check on that. 

And of course the tried & trues like the Kardashians - loving Brody's involvement this season!  Giuliana & Bill - so glad these 2 are back!  I just can't help but love them!  And Duke - what a cutie - so happy!!  It just doesn't get old for me.  It's been a lil more "hokey"/staged this season than I like, but obvi still gonna watch it.  And Franklin & Bash which has just added on Heather Locklear - it's great as per usual.  Happy viewing!!  AND HAPPY FRIDAY!!

 

I Have A Love/Hate With Summer

Guys seriously - we are entering into two of the top reasons why I don't like summer. Even though I LOVE summer, there are a few things I take issue to. The first is actually getting there - my allergies are like off the charts and the second - sweating - obviously.

So this morning I did NOT wake up feeling like P. Diddy. I was a disaster! Sneezing - my eyes were itchy - my throat felt like it was closing up. Just disgusting.

These changing seasons really do a number on me. And this year in particular seems like the worst ever - amirite?! Is anyone else having major issues this year?! I mean every year I prob say "this is the worst" - but seriously - I think this might in fact be - THE WORST. I've also had a migraine for like 3 straight days - totally not helping matters!


Ok onto my second issue - sweating. By now you should all know that I have a sweating problem. It's insane. I don’t smell - I just sweat. It's embarrassing and awful all rolled into one. Like yesterday after my spin class - I got back to my office - drenched. Like it wouldn't stop. I had to close my door for an hour and hope that I "came to" and eventually it stopped. Ridiculous. The worst part though is that I walk to work - which I love. But by the time I actually get here on these humid, hot days - I'm drenched.

I wish there were showers at work - because I'd just assume take one here. It's really quite disgusting. I'm at the point where I don’t even dry my hair - became not only does it add extra heat - but it's pretty much wet by the time I get here anyways - so what's really the point?! The air drying is better for your hair anyway, and it helps to "keep me cool" on my walk.


It reminds me of this one fateful day when I was en route to work in DC. I was getting the Metro and it was about 800 degrees down there. I was also sweating before I even left my apartment - walked out into basically a "soup like" atmosphere - so by the time I climbed down the 7 miles worth of steps to get to the Metro - I was done for. Usually I carry a tissue/napkin at all time in case of situations like this. I try to "blot" the sweat away and look somewhat like a normal person. But I went to go get one out of my bag - shear panic - there was nothing. I was rifling and found NOTHING! Not even piece of paper I could use. Of course this made me panic more which in turn made me sweat more. I realized what I had to do. And as embarrassing as it was - you know the whole desperate times - desperate measures. I had to resort to using a panty liner. Yes folks - a panty liner that I had in my "make up bag" for emergencies - along with 5 other tampons.

I had no choice. So I pulled it out discreetly - hoping that no one saw me and began to "blot". And wouldn't ya know - it was the most amazing thing ever. That thing absorbed the sweat like a champ! I think it was the best embarrassing decision I've ever had to make.


So Summer - as much as I welcome you with open arms and embrace your wonderful beach days and outdoor dining/drinking - I just wish you'd lay off the humidity and stop causing me to sweat and wheeze all at the same time. If we could just eliminate those factors - I'd be the happiest girl alive!
