We have moved!

Visit us at our new home.

*Chessa! This is pretty much a note for you. :)

I give up

for now. Tried to hopefully make it easier to reply to comments (ie. straight from email) but blogger is making it very difficult by throwing out errors. I will try sometime later. Commenting should work as usual for now...

Wow, so it's been kind of dead here lately...

I got this new powder from Sephora last weekend. So far so good, at least Rafe is not complaining that my face is a different color when I put it on as he was with Smashbox. Don't you hate it when they reformulate or discontinue your product? Originally Smashbox had the perfect color and coverage for me. Oh well. We'll see how Lorac does. I also got these Make Up For Ever eye liners in Star Back and Gold. I do have to say that they are awesome! I wore them all night and they stayed! That hardly ever happens for me. I also got the Philosophy Hope In a Jar moisturiser. Love it so far.

OMG! I would have loved this.

Tutu Couture! would have been the coolest thing ever... I'm pretty sure. :)

Another Blog

I went with "made to fit" as the name of my new blog. Check it out. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I like a Teva shoe?

I don't know how this happened, but I like a Teva shoe. (They are the ones that make the really ugly hiking shoes that I hate.) But this is cute, and I bet it's super comfortable! I like the boating shoe reference. Price is not bad, either....

Also, anyone use Like.com? Searching by image seems like such a good idea.

My Skin...Or Really My Stomach

Last Friday I went to a dermatologist about my skin... She listened well and all has been good. Seeing how I threw up in a trash can on the way to work this morning and am still nauseated, I think the prescription portion may not work for me. How can I tell if it is the medicine or if I am sick?

By the way, this is what I am doing...

am:
doxycycline pill (one daily - she gave me 9 free ones to make sure it didn't affect my stomach)
clean & clear continuous control acne cleanser (bleaches towels, but kinda handy b/c it removed the step of putting the stuff on with my finger)
cleocin wash (it pats on like a sponge)

pm:
mild face wash (she recommends purpose)
cleocin wash (it pats on like a sponge)

**Okay. I seem to be better. Mint gum and tea have settled my stomach. Not sure why water and a peach would bother me like that.

2 for the price of 1

This company came up with shoes that can be a sandal or a sneaker. It uses a zipper to attach the sneaker part on top of the sandal. They aren't the cutest shoes and I don't know how comfortable they are but it's a neat idea.

Brainstorm with me

I need a name for a blog that will focus on customized clothing... Any ideas?

Sunny Days

I got these sunglasses this weekend in AC. I'm very excited to have a pair of polarized sunglasses, they really do make driving when it's bright out easier for me. I'll take a picture later, or I guess you will see me in them soon enough.

Dress me up

Alright, the dress is tailor. Help me pick out the wedding outfit. First up is the Karanina dress with black sandals I'll also be wearing in Turko's wedding. Choice 1.
Choice 2. Same dress, different shoes. Not sure what purse I would carry with this...
Choice 3. Same dress as a strapless, would carry the Oscar clutch that's in some of the other pictures...
Choice 4. Same shoes as above plus the clutch.
Choice 5. The navy blue dress I discussed earlier. Could also work with the burgundy peep toe shoes.
Choice 6. This might give someone a headache :) Little squares instead of polka dots.Choice 7. Sarah, you might remember this one. I suppose this could also work.

Firefox plugins

So this could be an easier way to blog: blog from your browser instead of going onto blogger.com. It's called ScribeFire for Firefox.

Other interesting Add-Ons:

This lets you log in to more than one Gmail account at a time.

Chinese Perapera-kun lets you read Chinese on websites...I'm sure there are other add-ons for other languages like Spanish and Russian.

Solid Smell

I've always been fascinated by solid perfumes. Do any of y'all have any experience with them? I feel like I'd love to keep one in my purse to use as needed. I wonder what this one smells like... It's pretty cheap too.

Falafel

This looks like a great use of a food processor. I might have to try it with my hand blender wand that I managed to make hummus with.

V - don't you like falafel?

For those who like clutches...

Old Navy has this on sale. Hard to tell if the silver or gold metallic fabric looks cheap online, but if it's for nighttime anyway, you might not be able to tell so much.

DNA Art

It is definitely A Brave New World when you can purchase DNA portraits to hang in your home. This just seems kinda wrong, although certainly a unique idea.

I much prefer the simple geekiness of the USB jewelry I sent a few weeks ago.

I was going to add the Lifegems conversation to the archive, but I appear to have lost the chain of emails. Alas! Seeing how that was the first conversation leading up to this ridiculous blog.

Plane Entertainment or Ways I Can Tune My Family Out (If Needed)

I would like to buy some variation on the iPod before my trip in two weeks, which means I basically have to act now.

I was going to go through Amazon using my credit card accrued gift certificates, but now I think I might go with a refurbished one purchased through the Apple Store. That way if I have issues it is more straightforward...

Is it worth it to get a 8 GB iPod Touch or should I just go with the Nano?

I love second opinions, pretty much all the time but especially when I am contemplating a large purchase.

Need Help - Need Mac 08 Office

So i've been trying to figure out what is the best thing to get for my 2005 Powerbook (Mac). My computer crashed about a year ago and the Mac people were able to salvage my computer but I lost all of my programs and since then I haven't had, a much needed, Microsoft Office. Now the dilemna on top of that is that I'm worried about getting the new, up-t0-date, software that may not be compatible with my current computer/system.

Does anyone have any insite on what to buy?

I did find this one article, but it just confuses me more
