Whitening toothpast

I have been using this new Crest 3D toothpaste, I normally use whitening toothpaste because of my coffee and Diet Coke addictions so I haven't really seen a difference for myself BUT I convinced Nate to try it with me and have seen a huge change for him. He has tried the white strips but they make his teeth super sensitive and he doesn't normally like the taste of any whitening toothpastes but he said he doesn't mind this one. I'm just shocked that I have seen that much improvement in the color from using it for only a couple of weeks.

Working Woman!

After we got back from Florida I just new I needed to get a part time job. I needed to be around other adults, get out of the house to do something other than shop ya know. So I started looking around and found NOTHING that seemed like fun. I had been warned about finding jobs on Craig'slist because a lot of the time they are scams or crazy door to door sales jobs. Well I still looked and I'm very glad I did. I came across an opening for a salon in Allendale which is about 10 minutes from my house. It was for a part time receptionist. Well some of you may not know this but I actually went to Cosmetology school many many years ago but dropped out because I realized that even though I Enjoy the salon atmosphere I do not like to "Do" peoples hair. I also was a receptionist in a hair salon all throughout high school.

Anyways I did some "cyber snooping" to check out the salon before going to the interview. I was super picky about who I would be working for and with. I knew I wasn't going to be paid much so it had to be all about the people and the fun factor. I found the salons website and they had pictures. The salon looked very cute and trendy and all the girls looked stylish with great hair. So I had a good feeling going into the interview that it was going to be a great place to work.

I stated just over a month ago and I LOVE IT!!! I have already formed some great new friendships. They are AWESOME girls to work with!!! The clients are great and I get to go spend a couple of days a week in a totally "Girlie" environment. I really enjoy interacting with all the clients and checking out their new hairstyles.

I even got my hair done there this week. I went to Erin who did a FABULOUS job on my hair cut and highlights. If you know me you know I'm very picky about who I go to. I'm not that picky about my actual hair cut but I am about the color and Erin NAILED IT!!!

I was going to Panopoulos in Standale and paying a small fortune every time I went in. So just the discount I receive on my hair is enough to keep me working:) Ha!

So here is where I put in my plug!!! If you are looking to get your hair done by a FABULOUS new stylist Please consider trying out

Smells soooo good!!

I got a sample of this perfume in my last sephora order. OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Smells so good. Might be too strong for some but I think its fabulous. It just smells sexy and hot. So Nate if you are ever looking to buy me a new perfume. THIS is the one!!! Now I will just sit back and wait and see if he gets the hint??

Oily mess

I think the weather change is NOT agreeing with me. Basically I look like I have been working in a fast food restaurant 24/7 because my skin has been so oily. Let's just say its NOT pretty. So I was looking for something to help me. I've tried the blotting papers and I do like them but for some reason I always forget them or I'm not really in a place that I can pull them out basically mop my face off. Ha! I went to my trusty friend Sephora and found this powder. You put it on after your foundation and its supposed to last all day. Its basically like a white pressed powder. It doesn't go on white though. I use my bronzer brush to apply it so its not too thick. I have only used it a couple of times and I THINK I like it. I'm not totally convinced because I have had to apply it a couple of times throughout the day. Its NOT cheap and I still have to use my foundation AND regular powder because I like the color so I'm not sure if its going to become part of my permanent "Line-up" of make-up.

This is the description that Sephora has on their website:

De-Slick Mattifying Powder
What it is:
A translucent mattifying powder.

What it does:
Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder is a shine-stopping pressed powder that blots oil and keeps shine at bay. The lavender shade applies invisibly and works on every skintone. Try it on naked skin (if you run into the hot guy at the gym), or over foundation (for touch-ups on the dance floor without destroying your makeup). Because the formula contains super lightweight, oil-absorbing rice powder you won't feel the powder, but you'll see the shine-free results.

Its coming.....June 4th

So as I placed an order this week with Sephora. And Nate if your reading this just back off alright, I only bought the necessities!! Ha! Anyways I thought to myself. This could quite possibly be my last "ORDER" from Sephora online.

Are you sitting down?

Are you ready for this little tid bit of info?

Sephora is coming to Grand Rapids!!! June 4th. At Rivertown, where the old Eddie Bauer used to be.

I know, are you almost peeing your pants with excitment?

One of my friends works for the company. She actually travels to the cities where they are opening new stores and helps with training and getting the store up and running. She offered to help me get a job there but I just don't think that is a great idea seeing as that I would probably have to get a 2nd mortgage on my house to pay for everything I would purchase while "working" ha!!
