Bimbos unite!

^^ Thanks! My makeup isn't kept very neatly because generally I'm not the most organized person. I tend to find an empty random spot and stuff the object inside. lol. But ever since I got the Helmer last year, I started trying to put everything where they're suppose to be. Wow 5 harps! She must have a huge hall to display all of them. And she sounds like a snob.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Miss QQ~They are just a couple, both kids have long since grown up and left home. They have 11 rooms plus 4 full baths, a huge extension and 7 rooms full of books. They built on a room specifically for her harps and she has them side by side. It looks sort of weird in a house, whereas most people I know who play the harp own 1 and tuck it in the corner of a room with a bench. Ah, well. She once invited me to her house to hand out for the day, but I realized a lot of "me, me, me" and bragging would take place and decided it wouldn't exactly be a fun day, so declined. I consider myself a homebody but she is oddly in a world of her own creation. She rolls her eyes if I go to a move, go on daytrips, read from my Kindle, shop at a mall, etc. She does this to her own daughter. She never speaks about her son. He loves computers. She despises her husband Blackberry and refuses to do FB or forums or look things up on Google. She isn't very with it in this world and rapidly finding herself left behind, but it is all her choice. This is another reason her bookstore is not going well. Most shops that still exist also sell online or at least look things up on a computer. She hasn't even got a cash register. She keeps her money in a little locked tin box like a miser! It is so strange. OMG...I have to stop thinking about this or I will go mad!

 

[Miss QQ]

I agree, she is not keeping up with what people do today, and it is her choice. Yeah, you should stop thinking about her if it is making you negative! Don't feel bad, take it as natural selection of friends. I also learnt a lesson that if a friend is dragging my energy down and making me feel pessimistic and depressed, it's better to leave her/him alone. I tried to help the friend, to make her optimistic and support her, but my efforts failed and her behaviour affected me so much that I left.

 

[ElvenEyes]

Miss QQ~You hit it right on the nail! I am having so much fun selling off my decks, buying Coach goodies and MU, playing around and just doing my everyday stuff, while she wants me to embrace her genealogy hobby or her harp stuff, which just isn't anything I am interested in. She has to learn to enjoy her interests without needing backup from others to keep her going. I didn't need anyone to coax me into makeup. I seem to be doing a fine job on my own! lol

Only put one box of decks up today, but the forum is quiet. No bites yet. But I have 5 boxes waiting to go out as soon as the MO's come in. And a Sephora order that should be here in a few days. Shopping is way too fun! lol

shopping is a dangerous hobby! lol! well for your wallet anyway! as i discovered today!! also i got my brows waxed and they did a great job for the first time in ages! they both look the same and they didn't make them too short! hooray!!!

it's such a small thing but i get very weird over my brows! lol! i hope everybody has been having a great week. i have somebody high up in sony visting my store tomorrow so i hope the visit goes well. plus i hope i get a free drink out of it too! lol!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Lou~Yay about the new foundation and the Chanel lady! That makes a huge difference when you are out shopping for something personal like foundation. It can be stressful to find the right kind, the right colour, etc. and we need help. I am so glad it worked out in a positive way for you and that you had fun!! Brows waxed! That is something I have never had done, but I did find a brow threading place at that mall. I wonder how good that is? They seem to always be busy and it is all upscale places, so I assume they must have a good reputation!

Yes, having a room full of harps isn't of much use when you can't play them and you have them lined up more for bragging than anything else. If she could play on a regular basis that is one thing, but even then everyone really questioned her need for a concert harp. She doesn't do weddings or anything. She can't even play Bach because of dystonia in her hand. She has about 4 days out of every 3 months that she can play a bit. The rest of the time the harps just sit there. To each their own, I guess, but again, if it is a brag session who needs it?

And you are right. I let go a friend who had changed a lot over the past 6-7 years. She was a good online friends but her head got too big and I realized she was someone else who mostly liked to brag or be very competitive with everyone. Every remark always had an "I did" or an "I have" that switched the post or email or anything to make the subject all about her. I guess sometimes we have to clean out our relationships like our gardens and do a bit of weeding time to time, as we change and so do they. It is important to be in tune with people who compliment you and have the same interests and goals. Not people going in opposite directions.

I so want to claim another drawer or two in this dresser that my tarot is in so I can rearrange things. If only the entire tarot community could come waltzing into my house and just buy almost everything right up, I would be so happy! I put up a box of decks that all have green coverings for a St. Patrick's theme, but no interest yet. And here I was trying to be cute and use a bit of creative salesmanship!

Okay...I need to know nail polish brands everyone likes the most. Top three maybe? I need to branch out every now and again. So far I am mostly an OPI girl. Sally Hanson is too thick, Essie is thin and streaky so you have to keep applying until you get it right. I need more variety of colours. Hmm...

Lou--I about laughed myself in the floor with your big one in the bedroom tale, sounds like something I'd do.

MissQQ--I love your bag and I didn't even see the stain soit's good it's not very easily seen. You have a great stash of makeup there.


Kittykit---Shoes are always close to my heart when you get them post us a pick. And tell Sandy that we send our lovey.

Debi--Sometimes that ring just doesn't matter to some people. I used to work at a bank, well like 20 yrs ago. I wore my rings everyday and I still got asked out. I would have my left clearly in front of them and they didn't care. This one guy asked me to go rafting over the weekend--naked. I told him nah my husband probably wouldn't care for me doing that I don't even wear my rings anymore, haven't for several years.

That friend sounds like a real snob and beyond. Just because you have a bunch of money does not give you the right to stick your nose up and believe that everyone else is beneath you. Just as I mentioned before that school my daughter went to had so many people with gobs of money but did not act like that. One guy my daughter dated lived 3 houses down from Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, in fact his house was quite larger than theirs and across the street one of the main guys from "Rascal Flatts" was building a giant house, LeAnn Rimes was a couple of streets over and they were the nicest family and not uppity at all. Another friend's parents sold their house to Tim McGraw and Faith Hill when they got divorced. You should've seen her mom's "downsized" house after the divorce. It was like hotel size. Some of those prople at that school had private jets, drivers and a staff at their homes and these homes are anywhere from 10-20+ thousand sq feet.. They never treated me like this and I don't have any of that designer stuff and we drive old cars to pay tuition. They invited me to out to lunch and other stuff with them. I think this person sounds like she'd be all up about herself with a bitch attitude even without her money. People like her just piss me off. So the saying goes "money can't buy class"

oh my goodness!!! i think i would want a guided tour in that neighbourhood please! how fabulous with all the celebrities! but that is wonderful that your daughters friends did not act like they had all the money that their family did. their houses sound amazing though! and the families obviously have a good head on their shoulders to not let it effect their personality. i would like to think that if i had lots of money i would be the same person. in fact me and the boys at work often talk about what we would do if we won the lotto! and for the most part it involves buying lots of sony products that we play with at work each day but can't afford to buy now! lol!

oh holy cow how up front was the naked rafting guy?!! that is so funny! you should have agreed and then taken pictures of him naked!! and you ladies are all very beautiful so i can see why guys hit on you! sadly for the most part i don't get hit on and when i do it is usually strange blokes that take a shine to me!

Shadowaddict~Well, my feeling is that she has some major identity and self-esteem issues. It would be one thing if she had been abused or had a hard life. But she has not. This is her personality and she chooses to behave this way, thus scaring everyone off. She keeps emailing me today and I refuse to write back. She keeps wanting to know when the series The Borgias start. I have told her numerous times including having given her a link, but she keeps asking. I won't answer anymore. She keeps telling me not to let her forget. Wtf? I am not her babysitter. Look it up woman! Ask her husband to if you can't for some bizarre reason. Or your kids. I am not your caretaker! Aaaaaah! We also have several millionaires in our neighbourhood. Some are very low key and you would never know it. Far from flaunting it. Another is a wild partier who is constantly in trouble with the law. Then there was a younger couple who LOVED showing off to the neighbourhood and it was rather entertaining to watch her flashing her diamonds with her fake nails, her fake tan, her fake face (botox city) and a limo pick them up to go out to eat. A few neighbours burnt themselves out trying to play "keep up with the Joneses". Eventually this couple moved to a new house and now their cellar constantly floods. Hehehehe.... I am so evil.

Lou~So, Zoya is good? I need to find some place to get China Glaze. Where do you get it? Not that I can drive to England and shop around at the moment. Hehehehe...

In between coats of OPI Holy Pink Pagoda. A frosty shimmery fushcia colour!

oh zoya is lovely! their glitter polishes are awesome! generally they have a coloured base and then loads of glitter mixed in which gives an amazing looking polish. plus they don't chip that easily either which is always good! plus they always have nice colours with each collection. their cream finishes are so much better than essie too. zoya are opaque in two coats and not streaky. i love essie but they are hard work! and i buy china glaze from sallys and also ebay or transdesign.com cheap sites!!

Oooh, I'm just starting to get into this! Jusr recently tried China Glaze and Butter London and I love both of those (Butter London is sooo expensive though!), and I hear Zoya is really good too! I still love my OPIs and Essies if I find a colour I'm in love with, though! Try www.head2toebeauty.com for some good deals on NP! A fun way to try out some new brands/shades.

^^ Sorry for the long post! I'm off to tutor, but I did post my hauls for you in the hauls thread! Here's the bulk of it from February and March:





I also just got some clothing from Forever/Faith 21 - check out my adorable new sandals, skirt and shorts!!!

http://canada.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=footwr&footwr_style=&footwr_size=&footwr_color=&footwr_price=&product_id=2000014409&Page=1
http://canada.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=faith_bottoms&product_id=2000012690&Page=1
http://canada.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=faith_denim&product_id=2000013534&Page=1

I have the worst time finding clothes that fit, being 23 and in between regular and plus-size clothing sizes! They don't sell Faith 21 in Canada yet, but I was thrilled to find them online - I normally grab my jeans and other things from them if I'm ever in the States!

No more spending for me, but I just feel like I've been working so hard on my degree and working out and all the jobs I'm doing that I deserve to treat myself sometimes! Speaking of which, I'm now off to tutor and train on my March Break! *sighs*

Happy St. Patty's, ladies!

 

[shadowaddict]

Debi--I buy China Glaze at Sally's. I don't know if you have one of those or not.

Yep your so called friend can find her own damn info, particularly after you've already told her.


Jenn--great haul, lots of pretties. cute stuff you picked out at Forever 21, especially the shoes. I think we might have just got one not sure. But I usually go there when I'm in Vegas and pick up some great things for my daughter and I love how inexpensive their stuff is.

 

[shadowaddict]

Oh and Lou---it's funny here cause usually it's everyone else that sees the famous people. Dolly Parton lives about 2 miles from me and I've never seen her. He house does sit a bit back from the road and on a hill. My nephew goes to college here and was invited to a house party a few weeks ago (his friend that invited him told him--you do not want to miss this) and while there hanging out all of a sudden Jake Gyllenhaal walked past him, my nephew was like ahh ahh wtf?. Jake was there with Carey Mulligan and apparently happened across this party, probably via twitter. The group Mumford & Sons were playing a secret show there. After he told me I did a google search and there it was about them being at a house party in Nashville. More and more people started coming cause others were tweeting everyone about it. My nephew said Jake and Carey hung out there till about 3 or so in the morning, now that would be cool.

A couple of years ago my son picked up a part time job driving a limo and kind of bodyguard also for super rich dude that moved from California and was doing some major business deal particularly in the music area. My son being the giant ex-football star, marine, muscle dude who can either scare the hell out of some one or charm them to death depending on the person and situation fit the job perfectly. This guy and his wife were great and treated my son like family not like hired staff. And like I said my son is quite the charmer and could sell a muzzle to a dog. He got to hang out and sit around and have drinks and such with lots of famous people. He wasn't really supossed to talk about it but sometimes he would tell me and said I was not to tell anyone.

oh wow!!! yeah that would have been a party that i wanted to have gone to! although i would have embrassed myself no doubt for acting like a stupid fan! lol! and that sounds like a great job your son had! i'm so silly but i love reading about celebrities and looking at pictures in magazines and stuff. it is my guilty pleasure!!

 

[Miss QQ]

^^ I love reading about celebrities and seeing their pics too! I was very crazy about them a few years ago, but now I just catch up with their news every now and then, and it still gives me a lot of pleasure.

Yeah I want to see the famous people too! What a fun job, and best of all his boss treated him well!

 

[kittykit]

MissQQ: Lovely bag and you're so organised with your stash! Mine's so messy! I always try to avoid buying light colour bags because I'm always afraid they'll be stained. Call me boring, I still prefer black so that I don't have to worry about a dirty bag.

JennsJewelz:You've heaps of goodies there!! Too Faced Shadow Insurance is my HG. I can't live without it. I like Forever 21, unfortunately the nearest store is in Vienna which is 3 1/2 hr drive from here. I bought plenty of tops and dresses when I was in Dubai before. The EU store has crazy prices... I'm not sure if I'll pay 34EUR for a top when it's less than US$25 in the US.

It started snowing last night and it finally stopped a while ago. I really hate this weather! I'm looking forward to full moon tomorrow and already have my camera and gear ready for the shots... I really hope the sky will be clear tomorrow. I like taking pictures of full moon

I'm going to my hairstylist to get my hair cut today after work. I plan to do a little shopping at Sephora (we're having the -20% VIP week) here! I was at the nearest store yesterday and found nothing I want/need. I saw Chanel Boy but am not going to pay for the retail price since I'm flying for business again after next week. Duty-free stores are my best friends *lol*

Enjoy your weekend!

 

[ElvenEyes]

I'm looking forward to the full moon, too, but I hope we don't have clouds. It is tricky taking clear pics, but hope to give it a try!

It looks like we have a Sally's a few towns over, but we never go in that direction, so I might just order some online through them and that way I get the colours I want. There is no guarantee they will be stocked in the store. We will see. I did order quite a few Zoya polishes, so let's hope I like them!! I need pink and white bins for storage. I can't seem to find them anywhere. I really want to keep up with storing things neatly as I go along. I was neat about my taro storage and feel the same way about this, plus it is so much easier to find a specific product that way. I will check Enkore for ideas. Thanks!

Jen~I posted on the haul section but your collection is amazing. Lots of fabulous colours and a nice variety of goodies in that haul! Some I recognize and some I want!

Everyone received their packages that were sent out, and I have 5 more lined up to go out. I am hoping for a few more MO's today so I can continue on the sales. Not much action yesterday which was a disappointment. I only sell to US members because of the shipping, insurance and tracking, so that makes my customers more limited. Phooey on the people who have cheated people out in the past, too, who are now afraid to buy at all. We had one woman up in Vermont who always took money for decks she didn't have. She was banned from the forum but kept coming back under other names, etc. Many lost hundreds of dollars because of her. And now they don't buy at all. Let's hope today more are interested as things get dull over the weekend!

 

[Miss QQ]

I hope the con-woman is banned completely! Hope your 5 decks get sold soon too!

Is there suppose to be a special full moon coming?

kitty - black bags are a classic. I have a few of them too. Hope you love the new hairstyle! Thank you, I hope I can maintain my stash in this organized way, though it may prove to be hard for me. We shall see, hehee. It is still snowing? Strange weather, it is already mid March. Over here it has been raining daily and so it is quite cool, which is strange that we have so much rain at this time of the year.

I don't have a Sally's anywhere near me, so I just order online! I'm normally happy that way. Let us know how you like the Zoyas! I hear their nail polish remover is amazing - really moisturizing. Let me know how you like the EnKore videos! Thanks - I've noticed we're attracted to similar colours and products! Let me know if I influence any purchases!

Had a good hour long cardio class at the gym today... kicked my butt! Just off to shower and get changed now, then working on my major literacy group project all day until the Safari party... I think this document is going to end up being 80-100 pages when it's done, and it's due in a week and a half! Not to mention the presentation and handouts we need to create on top of that. I'll try and post pics of the makeup before the party!

Wooo, TGIF!
