I watched the filming of a scene from “Under the Dome” from my boss’s historic Wilmington home, which neighbors the “Walk to Remember” house in the left hand pic! I even got to hear them yell “action!” and “cut!” 🙂
Otherwise, seems like a dull job, to be honest. I wish I knew who the actors were! All I found out was the redhead in the lower right hand pic is the bad vampire from the first Twilight movie.
Such a cute Britney video! She’s looking so much healthier and happier 🙂 Love the dancing Smurfs and her cute little boys. No matter what anyone says, Brit Brit will always be one of my faves.
There are only 3 products I’ve ever used that truly, dramatically accomplish what they claim:
– Agadir Argan Oil Spray. I have fine hair that tends to get limp in no time. It was severely damaged several years ago, so I gave this stuff a try, and now my hair is in great shape!! (It didn’t take all several years though, don’t worry.) I still use it after every wash, whether I blow dry or not. Other leave-in conditioners are too heavy for my hair, but this is perfect!
– Revitalash Conditioning Serum. Non-prescription Latisse. Not to brag, but my eyelashes are kind of amazing after using this for a few weeks. The drugstore equivalents do nothing in comparison. It’s kind of pricey, but you can find it cheap(er) on sites like eBay, and it does last a while!
– St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse. I’m not just fair – I’m pasty – so I’ve tried every self-tanner in the world it seems. I was really skeptical about St. Tropez, thinking it was overhyped and overpriced, but let me tell you – it’s NOT! I’ve never tried anything that’s more fool proof and odor free than St. Tropez. The mousse goes on evenly and dries quickly. It doesn’t stain my clothes, and it’s actually brown, rather than orange. It can be used for subtle glow, or for a deep tan, though it’s more cost-effective to use it for the glow. I think I’d still rather get a professional spray tan for the deeply bronzed look, but for a quick and nice light tan, this is a gem and completely worth the money!
Anyway, just thought I’d share my success stories, for anyone who’s wasted a lot of time and money on useless gimmicks, like I have…
This is why I don’t bother actually combing my wet hair most of the time. Look at that perfect little knot!! How did that even happen…?!
My attitude this week in a nutshell. Except I could use that extra spring in my step that Winnie has!
I am annoyed that “Bubble Butt” is stuck in my head. I’m annoyed that it features Bruno Mars, the crooner who sang the sweetly romantic “Just the Way You Are.” But I am most especially annoyed to admit that I caved… And downloaded it. #FAIL
“We waste so many days waiting for weekend. So many nights wanting morning. Our lust for future comfort is the biggest thief of life.”
Trying not to wish so hard that it wasn’t Monday 🙂
Guilty….! Hate when this happens 🙂
My current wardrobe issue, however, is what to wear for homecoming! Chuck gets home in 3-ish weeks!!! Yay!! So should I buy a new outfit, or wear a trusty one I already have? Last time I was quite overdressed compared with everyone else, and odds are Chuck won’t care what I’m wearing, or barely notice. But these are the things one can’t help thinking about after 6 months apart. Looking good, but effortlessly so!
My absolute favorite summer fruits!
– Young children taking communion at church. It’s a holy sacrament, not snack time! Even though it is pretty delicious…. But seriously. I wasn’t allowed to participate till I understood what it meant!
– Ants invasion of my Raisin Nut Bran. (How gross is it on a scale of 1 to 10 that I ate it anyway?)
– Verizon Wireless. Actually, just Holly Ridge, NC. Every measure I have taken to improve my Internet situation has actually either done nothing, or made it worse, and at a co$t no less. I won’t bore you with details, but I have come to terms with a disconnected existence out here in the boonies… and a very confused bill.
– Health and nutrition studies. I heard eating too much of my beloved tuna means too much mercury in my system. So I mix some turkey sandwiches into my lunches. Turns out deli meats are high in cancer-causing nitrates. Sigh. I need to just eat what I want.
– The fact that I have no washer/dryer. Today is cleaning day and without a way to wash towels and sheets, I feel incomplete. It’s one of those small things I take for granted in daily life 🙂
End rant.
