Let him think he put that twinkle in your eye..

Hey Dolls-

This week/past weekend has been GREAT and an awesome weekend is in the works! Even though spring won't be official till the 22nd -A trip to Cocoa Beach is set! Wait for nothing.. I'm not one to anticipatively delay and postpone an event :) Sunscreen in tote, my friends and I are departing 7am -Saturday! I haven't been to the beach since summer, so I'm elated to head out there.

Speaking of TOTES!


I quit carrying bags off shoulder and instinctively
switched to this "new technique" LOL
-just a tiny fixation of mine :)


Cosmetic's Encounter!

Upon receiving a gift pallet from hollywood make-up artist Evelise Drixon, Thanksgiving 2007; I was not only introduced to, but fell in love with Too Faced! As a top Beverly Hills makeup artist Jerrod Blandino created his line armed only with a credit card, a dream and a microwave when becoming discontent with the lack of creative quality cosmetics previously available on the market. Too Faced encourages us to unleash your inner starlet and truly lives up to the brand's philosophy: "Why be pretty when you can be gorgeous?”

Fabulous Fav's:

• Kabuki Brush $28.50 - Retractable brush keeps soft teddy bear hair clean and in pristine condition. GREAT for applying Bare Minerals Foundation. Blends color without any of the cruelty or hygiene problems associated with animal-hair brushes. Can be used to apply loose powder, pressed powder, and bronzers.

• Lash Injection Mascara $19.50- Get the look of lash extensions without the cost or commitment! **Fuller lash results, better scented and longer lasting than "Bad Gal."

• Glamour to go Palette $18.50- Great for a rush application! This pocket-sized beauty binge is packed solid with six glosses and four shimmery shadows ranging from pearly pinks to sugary caramels.

• Lip of Luxury Lipstick $18- Long lasting pigments drenched in shea butter leaves your pout color enriched and feeling soft as satin.

Trisha Writes;

Hi Alyssa,

I’m usually an A student, but I just checked my grades and can't believe I got a 58% in Chemistry. I'm feeling very stressed and stay up late every other night. Besides school, I’m also preoccupied with friendship issues, family, and more. What should I do to get my grades up and stress down?

A: It can be frightening to have a downward shift in grades; it's tough to know what to do about it! Many factors can come into play.. finding a balance between friends, family, and school is key. Allow yourself enough time to rest and get your assignments done; even if that means getting off the phone or computer early. (Pinky promise- the sacrifice will pay off in the long run!) Keeping a planner and jotting down due dates of assignments and upcoming events will help you stay organized. As for ways to reduce stress, try to find things that relax you. Meditating, listening to music, hot showers, etc. Give yourself some “me time.” By participating in something you chose to do when you feel like doing--not something that feels obligatory may help bring those stress levels down and allow you to better concentrate. Good Luck:)

Excited for GossipGirl Mondays :)

With Love, !
Alyssa
