Near Death Experiance

I believe in taking a hiatus. 

Sometimes its a hiatus from cooking, doing my hair,

 showering (not voluntarily however),

 or getting dressed.

 Right now its a make-up hiatus.

here's how it works- 

You don't wear makeup!!

Now if I were to take a hiatus from reality and

 shove off to... Hawaii lets say, it would hopefully last 2 weeks.

But a makeup hiatus usually only lasts about 4 days for me.

makeup free

tiss the way to be

the benefits -

you save time
your skin can breath
you get used to looking death in the face and not being scared
you get to wear all your sunglasses ( I have quite a collection)




The best is when you return to life and liner (eyeliner to me is like air) you and your Man Meat are reminded of how drop dead GORGEOUS you really are! None of this, "oh if I had her cheek bones", or "if my nose were a bit smaller" 
Your stoked with what you got and in my case eternally grateful for a lil' concealer and color. 

Are you a natural beauty scoffing at my 4 day fast? 

Or are you a makeup monster that sleeps in your makeup just in case the house goes up in flames and you end up getting rescued by a burly fireman
 and on the morning news?

dilemmas of a gal with no problems….

to cut or not to cut……

  I'm dying for a bleached out pixie thanks to MW.

But is my hair my one saving grace at this point?... as I approach 30 , 

apart from my sweet spirit?

 I told my self no way with the whole baby-in-belly situation.

 But once the baby weight is gone should I shed the locks too?

A conundrum, I know.

Also, what should I make for dinner tonight?

 What should I get Jim for his b-day?

Oh the toils…..

When Jim & I were dating(what a decade ago) he SWORE  some asian school girls mis-took him for Nick Lachey while riding on a NY subway. He also described himself as having "a body like Arnold w/a Denzel face" (what does that even MEAN?)

My sister has recently … incessantly … been telling us Jim looks like the guy in Zac Brown Band w/a beard. Would that be "Zac Brown"? I actually had no idea who this was & had to of course google them, my best and only source of truth & knowledge…google:)

best daddy in the world aka Jim

Its the beard..and the build, and the fact that he's usually holding a guitar as is Jim. 

OK OK Marlene Im convinced :)

Im not sold on her other determination that Jim looks like Jack Black. I have to concede that there is a personality likeness.

Jim is a fun loving big kid along with Mr. Black.

 And would look dashing in tights might I add.

As for me, Im still waiting for the very perceptive person that finally notices my likeness to Marisa Miller.

 (don't google her name, shes a VS model & 

the smorgasbord of skin is sure to leave you blind)

But in the last year I got:

Kristen Bell

Brooke White
a hometown gal that was on Idol(though I refer to it as "Idol", I dont watch it…I was just to lazy to write it out, but now Ive written this…so Im not sure what the point was)

Orianthi
(who I actually think is the spitting image of fellow blogger Lauren over @ the Busy Bee since she cut bangs)

So what do you think?

 Who do you get compared to?

 Or who do you see as your style icon?(pretend you looked like)

Who does your man look like…for real or pretend?

What's better than the 80* weather we've

 got goin on here in the Valley?

How about a FREE PURSE!!!

The Paige Peace Tote is the perfect fun summer bag. Might even warm ya up in DC or Denver (can you feel that 52* chill). Both dwelling places of my traitor sisters who thought they'd move away and make a life for them selves. (scoff)(also I love you)

Pair this jewel encrusted tote with 

skinny rolled jeans and 

a comfy top and, dare I say it SANDALS 

for those of us in cactus land, 

for a laid back look.
