Operation Beautiful: I love this message. LOVE IT.
I left a post-it note on the inside door of the bathroom stall today. It read "U R BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING". What will you post today??
Go to operationbeautiful.com right this minute. You will truly be inspired.
Caitlin is the brilliant woman behind this extraordinary "Operation Smile" campaign. Her blog, healthytippingpoint.com is one that I visit several times a day. GO CAITLIN!
Get this;
46% of women would rather forgo social networking sites for a month than skip their favorite hair product-18% would rather forfeit sex.
What do you think?? I'd much rather spend my time connecting and socializing on facebook and twitter. Maybe that's because I don't have/use a favorite product.
Thoughts??
Thank you SO MUCH for all the sweet emails regarding my make-up from this weekend. I'm flattered to say the least. Must have been the new Nars "Lola Lola" eyeshadow I bought at Sephora Friday afternoon. HAHA.
Hey Lisa
I'm
form Philly and really mad that I can longer listen to you on Q102, but glad to
see your doing well. I am a regular at your blog, pampered with
paige. Love all the food, fitness and best of all beauty advice.
Speaking of beauty...please tell me what makeup (eyeliner, blush, and lipgloss)
you were wearing while in CT visiting the family! Thanks!
Danielle- Philly
Hi Lisa-
As a follower of your blog, I
love the makeup look for your CT visit. Please tell me what blush and
lipgloss you were wearing in the pics of your blog!
Love ya Lisa, you're
the best.
Hey Girl-
You must tell us what products you were wearing when you went home to CT this past weekend. Your skin looks amazing. What is that lipgloss called that you're wearing too? Love it all!!

Okay, so here's the run down- These are the products that I have been wearing everyday for the past few weeks (with the exception of my new Nars eyeshadow).
Hope this all helps ladies. Thanks again for noticing.
Hii Laur-
I'm not using tan towels at the moment. Last spring I discovered Model Co.'s tanning glove. I really liked it and ended up buying up a lot of the products from this line. Between the glove, and tan in a can, I achieved a nice even "glow". They don't smell like the tan towels and last a little longer. This is what they look like. You can order them through modelco.com
Smell like a slice of heaven pumpkin pie with HEALTHY SEXY HAIR'S pumpkin puree whipped souffle styling cream. My friend Alecia facebooked me with the link to this crack. She LOVES it. Hmmm, I'm thinking a trip back to Ulta may be in order.
Saturday in between lunch and the fall foliage tour, I stopped into Ulta hoping to find Black Orchid (no luck), however I did end up buying a new lip-gloss (surprise) by a company I've never heard of before. It was risk I had to take based on the recommendation from Katy (Ulta employee). She was RAVING about this color. All the girls that worked at Ulta were.
Introducing Napolean Perdis Gloss Patrol Sydney (whatever that means). I like the consistency of this gloss. It's not sticky and goes on super smooth; similar to a matte finish, but not..get it?? The only thing I don't like is the smell. I could do without it. Unscented is always the way to go in my opinion. Just saying...
These pic's aren't the greatest, as I took them on the train.
The nail polish I'm wearing is "A LIST" by Essie.
Before I left for the mall: approximately 4:00
when I got home from mall 9pm
Husband of the year: STU!!!
Before I met up with Nic for dinner, I went to Sephora and scooped up the last bottle of "Black Orchid". It was meant to be. This scent is so warm and musky, it's perfect for the fall/winter. While I was at Sephora, I got more Bliss fabulous foaming face wash, bliss hand cream and Oscar Blandi dry shampoo spray. I have the OB powder version, and it's just "okay". Nothing spectacular. Will try the spray and see if I like that more. If not, back to the store it goes.
Dinner was so good (as usual). We love CPK. Started off with the hummus and pita, then got salads. Nic had the Thai chicken and I ordered my usual grilled veggie. YUM. It was a much needed "catch up" din.
Alright, I'm super tired. Thanks for reading. Talk to you tomorrow.
nighty night!
More pic's from today. Like I said in the earlier posts, the trend show itself was great. It always is. Wasn't as packed this year though. Hmmm. Anyway, Dan and I managed to snag good seats. We were nice and close to the runway. The show started around 8 and got over around 9:30. We shopped around afterwards and then got lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. So let's see, I left my house at 7am and got home around 2:30. Long day at the mall. You won't hear me complaining. Here's the little vlog Danielle and I threw together at the event. It's my duty to keep you in the loop. LOL.
This is what Nordstrom looks like after the trend show. Total madness!!! And who's the dude in this pic?What the hell is he doing here? No strait guys allowed.
Told ya Danielle would like philosophy's "pumpkin pie"
Jimmy Choo's for $695. Any taker's?
Time for lunch!
I went with the usual tuna tataki salad
D got the bbq ranch salad
That was my day. Going for a mani now, then off the Whole Foods
The Nordstrom Trend Show starts in 2 hours..yay!! I bailed on running this morning, No way, I'm too tired. My bod needs a break.
For breakfast I had a bagel with almond butter (to keep me satisfied throughout the show). My friend Danielle is coming with. She's a trend show newbie. I'm picking her up at 7. We need to snag good seats. The earlier the better for an event like this. I sat in the back 4 years ago and it totally sucked. I swore that would never happen again (and it hasn't, knock on wood). The show usually ends around 9:15. At that point, 600+ beauty obsessed women freak the hell out (bc they don't want to miss getting free samples, God forbid), and race down to the first level of the store to spend their $$$. It's quite a scene. I'll take pic's and post them later.
I can't forget to buy another tube of Bobbi Brown's no smudge mascara. Must have a full tube at all times, in all places. I also need to stop by the apple store. I have to get a second iphone charger to keep at work. Have I told you lately how much I LOVE my iphone?? I want to marry it. My friend Tania is working today, so I told her we'd stop in and say hello. She's the manager at Furla. If you're looking for a simple, sleek and classic looking purse, I suggest you invest in a Furla. They are beautiful bags.
Alright, it's 6:47 and I've gotta jet. If you're going to the show, have a blast. If you see me, come say hi!
I'll post pic's and what we snagged later, so check back.
WORD.
Hey lady...I'm just stuffing my face with pumpkin bread that our boss brought in and reminded myself to tell you that Trader Joe's has pumpkin pancake/waffle mix...they had it as a demo yesterday so I got to try it and it was soooo delicious! And its funny cause everyone knows I'm obsessed with pumpkin like you are so I know you would appreciate this. You can even top off a pumpkin waffle with pumpkin ice cream for a double whammy!!
Meet my friend Danielle. Like me, she loves everything pumpkin (as you can tell). Wait until she experiences the Nordstrom Trend show tomorrow. When it's over, I'm taking her strait to the Philosophy counter so she can buy the pumpkin pie shower gel and gingerbread man exfoliating scrub.
All this pumpkin talk is making me hungry. Where's that jar of pumpkin butter at??
This gingerbread scrub will make your entire upstairs smell like a big ass bakery. Gingery goodness!
