Hello Kitty Shopping
As some of you may know (if you follow me on twitter) I've been on a No-Buy Makeup Restriction for most of July. It's painful, yes... But it's only until July 29th when MAC's Dare to Wear Collection is released :)
Since I haven't been shopping for makeup I've been able to enjoy other past times such as... well... Shopping for Clothing at Forever 21 and Shopping for Accessories.
Here's a Hello Kitty necklace that I couldn't pass up.

Review: EOS Lip Balms
My thoughts on EOS Lip Balm. I purchased all three flavors and have been enjoying them for a few months now. I love the clever dome shaped packaging. Although I seriously did not need to another lip balm in my life, I'm a sucker for cute packaging.
I think the product itself is good for temporary relief of dry, chapped lips. It feels silky smooth and moisturizing while going on, but for me when it wears off my lips feel very dry and I need to continuously reapply. So it's not a lip conditioning or softening treatment but rather good for short-term relief, they look cute and the flavors are fun.
Red - Summer Fruit
Yellow - Lemon Drop
Green - Honeydew

MAC Dare to Wear Collection ~ Wishlist
I just got home from my MAC Counter. They have Dare to Wear in stock and have started the pre-sale. Still even after seeing the products in person and swatching them, I'm having a hard time figuring out what I should get. Probably because I don't wear a lot of colorful looks. I tend to wear a neutral or smokey eye most of the time. But I have chosen a few items of interest.
Going Bananas Soft lemon yellow Frost (Limited Edition)
Louder Please Bright fuchsia Matte (Limited Edition)
Shock-a-holic Deep purple Matte (Limited Edition)
To see the MAC Dare to Wear Collection visit Temptalia.com

Not Feeling So Hot... We Need A Change!
Just a quick update... Sorry for the lack of posts the past few days. I haven't been feeling well. I worked a long, hard weekend in very intense heat and got overly exhausted... Heat Exhaustion I suppose.
Although I drink as much water as possible sometimes working under the hot Hawaiian Sun and heavy humidity can really take a toll on your body. That combined with not enough sleep and working with the public, handling filthy money (I probably wash my hands 25 times during a work day, but it's never enough). It severely burned me out. I'm currently trying to take it easy and recover.
While browsing blogs this evening I was inspired by a recent post regarding shaping up and getting healthier by Emilyanne at Beautiful Mess. You can visit her blog at http://emilyanneeeee.blogspot.com/
So I've decided that it is time for me to get back in shape. God knows I can stand to lose a few pounds, eat healthier and tone up.
I'd like to believe I eat fairly healthy most of the time but I'm going to start a food journal and see where I fall short.
What's my biggest downfall? Sugar baby! Yes, I love Coke (Coca Cola)! Another favorite is Mcdonalds Ice Blended Caramel Frappe's with Whipped Cream. My tastebuds tell my mind "This is Delicious!" but I know my body is like "What the hell are you doing to me!"
I'll be 30 next year. As I get older, keeping a trim, tight body takes more work. I've got to start eating CLEAN and working out everyday again.
I will update on my progress. I may go buy that Skinny Bitch book.

8 Questions Tag -Tagged by Tayebug
I was tagged by the lovely Tayebug visit her blog at Living Happy & Healthy 365.
1. You have three wishes, what would they be?
Of course we all wish for world peace and unlimited cash flow but since that's a given I'll be more personal and lighthearted.
To create a highly successful business within the fashion industry. To travel the world with my darling pet husband. To look like a Victoria's Secret Model, maybe Marisa Miller.
2. What cosmetic piece of work would you have done (or have had done)?
Cosmetic Dentistry, I've never had braces so my teeth could use a little straightening.
3. What is your must have fashion item?
Leopard Print Handbags and Shoes, must have both.
4. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Queensland, Australia
5. What is the craziest thing you've ever done?
Dropped out of high school, bought a plane ticket to Hawaii, moved here on my own with only a backpack of belongings.
6. Who is your favorite musical artist at the moment?
I'll always love Offspring but currently I'm into Cage the Elephant, "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" is an awesome song.
7. What was the last movie you watched?
Inception, awesome movie! Highly recommended!
8. Passion or Quiet Happiness?
Passion! I'm a very spontaneous and passionate person. I throw myself wholeheartedly into things. Whether it's my marriage, business, hobbies, traveling, tending to my pets, you name it...
I'm posting this portion of the tag now but I'm supposed to come up with 8 new questions and pass the tag onto 5 others. Which I will finish and update this post with probably tomorrow.
Xoxo,
Christine
