For the last couple of months, I have been enjoying the Pacifica shower gels - I have Tuscan Blood Orange and Hawaiian Ruby Guava. They are equally yummy. So, imagine my excitement when, walking through Wegman's with the troupe after a meeting, Lotus spotted a Pacifica display and on it ... the entire Pacifica line, including Solid Perfume!

So everything beautiful isn't about makeup, y'all! It is totally not beautiful to be funky. LOL!
As a fan of Lavanila scents, I was keen to try Lavanila The Healthy Deodorant. I am not one of those girls who searches for organic or healthy beauty products, but it can never hurt when you know that you can get the beautification you need without doing any undue damage to your body or the environment, right?
I am a huge lover of a good gel eyeliner. They give you the oomph of a liquid liner, but I find them easier to apply and less mistake-prone. I have fallen head over heels for both MAC's Fluidline and Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, so when I got the chance to try Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner, I went for it, to see if I needed to make this a permanent part of my gel liner wardrobe.
"So its about 4 weeks into the Lilash use, and I must admit I didn't have much hope around week 2 or 3. But I looked closely in the mirror this week and realized HEY! my little wee cheater "short/natural" lash extensions at the corners don't look nearly so freaky anymore! I looked a little closer and realized that the tips of my real lashes at the center are just past the curve of my upper lid, where they didn't quite make it before. The redness/irritation has really gotten much less too. Just a little deepening of color in my lid, which isn't alarming at all. I'm looking forward to week 6!"
This is me and my hubby, Vic, who is pretty much the cutest and the awesomest dude on the planet. (Girls - go out and get you one! But not mine, 'cause I'll cut you.)
Anyway, when I started this blog, Vic didn't give it much thought, but now that he sees how much fun I have with it, he's jealous and wants a piece of the action - LOL! He has decided that I need to have men's products reviewed on here every now and then, so I invited him to do it himself. So, from now on, you will occasionally be seeing posts called "Vic's Voice", wherein the Amazing Victor will let you know what he thinks about various products.
When I was a little girl, my grandmother, Mary, would make me watch soap operas with her after school. She only watched CBS soaps: The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, As the World Turns and Guiding Light. Watching soaps with her grandma is probably a really weird thing for a kid to be doing, but I learned to enjoy it way more than going outside and running up and down the street like the other kids (Ew - sweaty!). Eventually, I got just as wrapped up in the lives of Victor, Nikki, Ashley, Brooke, Ridge, Lily, Holden, Reva and Josh as Grandma was (and still is). Even now, I like to look in on them from time-to-time.
It was during these sessions of soap watching that I met Brian Bloom, most popularly known as "Dusty."
