The special light-reflecting pigments in the Mary Kay® Facial Highlighting Pen optically “lift” the shadowy areas of your face. Instantly your skin looks brighter, your tone more even and your face more radiant. This easy-to-use, supersheer formula can be reapplied throughout the day to keep you looking refreshed and natural. And it’s available in four shades, for all skin tones

I love these pens. I love to use them as an alternate to concealers. They are sheer, you can blend easily your shade, and they are nice to use when you don’t like to wear much makeup or to even wear just alone. A great product and what I like to call a hidden little magic.

Telemarketers

Don’t you just hate it when the phone rings and it is a telemarketer?  Well I do and today was no different except I decided I am going to try to catch one if I can.  Yes it is now my goal.  I know it sounds crazy but hey when I get a call like every other day from someone saying that is is my 2nd or 3rd final offer to lower my credit card interest.  Well I feel that this is just something that is annoying especially since I don’t have any credit cards.  So where are they getting this info?  Who are they actually calling?  What are they phishing for?  These are just some of the questions that I have. 
So today when they called it gave me the option to press a button to speak to someone about this.  So I pressed the button and an operator came on the line asking me if I wanted to lower my rate.  I said who is this?  What company is this? and they hung up on me so fast.  So at that moment it became my mission to now find out.  So I am hoping the next time they call I will get some place further because this is my 2nd and final offer lol!!! 

Friends & Family

I have always had a philosophy about my friends and people in my life that the people I get to know and start to let close to me are like family.  I know most don’t think that way or understand it but well it is just something about me that I feel that the people that you meet and introduce to your family and kids well you are choosing them and making that step in your life to share with people a side of you that others don’t get to see.  You are letting them get close to you like you would if you were in a relationship.  And why not?  You are in one.  You are in a friendship and one that is growing and you are getting to feel close to this person like they are a member of your family. 

Some people have friends that they are closer to than they are to their own families.  And well that is OK.  Not all families are close.  Just because you are blood does not mean you have to be friends.  Heck I know that I am adopted so my family isn’t blood and well they are all to me friends.  I wish that some families knew that or understood that because you shouldn’t have to have a distance between friends and friendships.  Especially in today’s world.  If we would all just take the time to get to know our family’s we might find we have some real true friends.

So to me I don’t care and try to look past what the title of a person is.  I try to just look at the person.  I want to just know that they are my friend, break down the walls, and then hopefully we all feel welcome and like we are family.  I have a good friend and they have become close to me and my family over the years.  I consider her like a sister and my extended family and so does she.  This to me is how your family grows, relationships should be, and what family really is about. 

Being friends!

Book Clubs

I have never been in a book club.  Probably because I never have time to read books.  I have always had a job that I am working like 70 hour weeks, traveling, or something until I decided to be a stay at home mom.  We tried so hard to have kids and when we did I wanted to spend every minute enjoying them.  So I have but I have not given up on the technology and learning.  Still no book clubs.  I just can’t find time time with the kids.  By the time they are in bed I am just done or want to sit with a glass of wine watching a show of my own for once.

So I found this idea and I think this is the best idea for a book club.  I think I want to start a book club like this one.  I know to many mom’s, friends and things that well we all have just so much on our plates.  And one thing we like to do is sit and have a glass of wine.  But sometimes we don’t read the labels.  Sometimes we don’t know what we are having, where it is from. and about the grapes.  It is actually a learning curve but it is fun to know and learn about this as well as just chill too!  So maybe after a few glasses this book club could really go so place!!

This is totally my cooking philosophy.  I love to cook this way.  I have wineries that I am a long time member of and they love it when the call me to see what I want and I say well I don’t know I just cook a little, drink a little, cook some more, drink some more.  They just laugh and say I love you and I know just what to send you.  It is a perfect relationship!

Incredible Charging Handbag by Richard Nicoll

British fashion designer Richard Nicoll wanted to create an electric atmosphere at his catwalk show at London Fashion Week. He did that, in part, by debuting a rechargeable handbag that can power your cell phone. It is an elegant leather tote.

The cutting-edge accessory merges style with practicality, and gives fashion-conscious cell phone users the freedom to zip between a busy day and boutiques without worrying that their smartphones will run out of juice.

Designed in conjunction with Vodafone, the battery-powered bag can, when fully charged, provide energy for iPhones, iPads, Androids and BlackBerry devices for several days. Users simply plug their gadget into a discrete pocket inside the bag. A Bluetooth-enable LED “charm” hangs on its exterior, and flashes to indicate incoming calls. The bag itself does not ring, so ushers needn’t worry about asking people to turn off their handbags.

No price has been released for the bag, which will go on sale later this spring, but similar (traditional) bags sell for $467. Ok ladies what do you think about this new invention?
