Resolution "LOW-BUY" 2014! Who wants to play?

[ILoveMakeup84]

[@]Naynadine[/@] I am sorry to hear that! That must've been so scary! Sending you lots of hugs! My grandma is at the hospital since she started bleeding pretty badly after going to the bathroom this morning. She was in a very critical state when she got there but thank God she is stable now. She is 90 years old. What sucks is that she lives in Colombia so its not easy for us to go see her but my aunts and uncles are with her. I know she is going to be ok! She is a very strong woman but what sucks is that I don't want her to suffer I just wish I could see her...

@Naynadine - Oh girl, that's terrible. You must be frantic - so sorry to hear about your dad's health. Thinking of you and sending you positive vibes! xo

So I had a dream last night.

I was.. somewhere with a new MAC counter.

You know in drugstores how they have those things where you take an item out and another one drops down? Yup, it was like that.

Only, MAC had a BLUE lipstick.. and I picked it up. But then I saw they had Toying Around from Playland there just 2 across. So I put the blue back for Toying Around.

WTF?

Amusing dream, though.

Lol, Hmm...have you been thinking about Mac a lot. Or these means you have unresolved issues with your mu or Toying around lol

Nope, haven't been thinking about it. I'm thinking it means I have unresolved issues with TA. I haven't purchased it as it hasn't been released here yet... but it was the only one I wanted. I'm wondering if it's a sign I should get it? I mean how often does someone dream of buying a very specific lipstick? Really friggin' weird, lol.

Dad's in the hospital again. It was my mom's birthday today and they went to visit my aunts & uncle to go out and my dad collapsed, they had to call an ambulance. So he's in hospital in a different city now. My mom was crying and couldn't even talk, I seriously thought my dad is dead until she could get the words out and tell me what happened.
I wanted to reply to a couple of posts but my head is spinning for now. On top of that I just had a 2 hour phone conversation with the friend I talked about earlier in the thread. Didn't turn out how I hoped. Will try to catch some sleep.

Sending positive thoughts and vibes your way. I hope everything turns out okay and that you get some much needed rest so you can cope with all of this better. We're here for you.

Wait, what?
WHAT?
Whatever this HAZMAT threat to humanity has done, the Ferragamos are innocent.

Alas, Malacca and Baalbek were my downfall the other day.
I swear I only stepped into the Sephora in the Gran Via to look at them.
Really, just to look at them.
Well, and test them, too.

They haven't arrived yet and the viciously sweet SP casually lets drop NARS has a 30% discount on discontinued items, that she hasn't put the items on display yet and would I like a peek at them?

I "only" ended up with 4 items- a black stylo eyeliner, 2 Andy Warhol shadow sticks, one in a a gorgeous teal and the other, a perfect violet.
And a brush.

The road to hell....


To our girls who are having health issues with family- all the best. You're all in my prayers.

Lol, yep, maybe you need to get TA. You will continue to dream about it till you do huntee(in my Miss Cleo voice)

Omg, I'm so sorry to hear that, esp on your mothers bday. How are you and her doing? I will keep you & your family in my prayers. Most definitely stay positive, be strong. Hugs!

oh dear... so sorry to hear of all the ladies who are having heartache and family health situations. These are what really touch us in the heart. Sending my love and

to all.


as for me and my confrontation.. I nearly did, literally vomit on his Ferragamos.. lol. I had eaten pistachios (from our dirty eating thread) and some chorizos and wine.. and all this combined with my emotional state made me sick to my tummy. Not good -- but hey, he gave me a free prescription for some antibiotics which I take when my tummy goes crazy.

we met.. I had nothing to say except there is nothing to say. He said he was sorry..seriously duh? ... and I said it's fine. Don't worry. Can we be friends? hell no. I don't trust you. Can we stay in touch? Hell no, I want to forget you exist. Can we meet when you return (I leave to see mom later)? Hell no.. I don't need or want to see your sorry but good looking ass in this lifetime or the next.


He tried to kiss me goodbye.. but seriously I did not want him to ruin my lipstick. Which means, it's really really really over.

Thadda girl! Proud of you!

You'll move on to a better man in no time, you deserve it and you're worth it. (So L'oreal, I know.)

Today has been a good day.

I've been awaiting some financial news due to my health issues.. and I got it. Along with one hell of a nice sum in my bank account.

The funniest thing?

The only thing I could think to buy with said lump sum was some damn shampoo and conditioner.

I've also bought some presents for my Mom for her birthday in July and sent her a chunk of money so she can afford to take herself and my brothers clothes shopping as her money is tight at the moment. I still have a nice big sum left in my bank account and honestly.. I don't know. I plan to put a good amount into savings but I find it so funny that when I committed myself to the low-buy, mainly for financial reasons, I wanted so much. Now, I know I can buy whatever I want, whenever I want -- and I don't really have a lemming for anything.

It was great to finally have some good news.

I'm still sore and exhausted, as I always will be - but at least now I don't have any financial worries on top of it all.

So glad this has worked out for you. My (unsolicited) financial advice is the same as given to most who receive a lump sum windfall; don't do anything right away. Sit on it for a bit and consider. There's no downside to not spending/investing it right away. If you don't have an emergency fund, maybe it just got funded.

@Naynadine, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad; you're in my thoughts.

Sorry to see that Bert was a no good scoundrel, HG, but good for you kicking his butt to the curb! You deserve so much better than that.

Thank you, girls Your supporting words mean so much, you have no idea.

He's already feeling better today, big relief! He had a rough evening and night, but today he is a lot better.
