date night: pork satay w/ peanut sauce and cucumber salad


For date night the boyfriend and I watched the movies " Valentine's Day" and "13 going on 30". Two very chick flicks! Souwan entertained himself with having drinks and dinner. We even had movie popcorn. Yum! Couples can still have a date night in. Find a good movie and some dinner makes for a great night together. I have a collection of chick flicks, a little obsessed. If you don't have a collection get movies from Red Box for $1. I love the dinner part the most. Check out Souwan's entry later this week for what we had to drink on date night!

outfit of the day: fall favorites

These outfit posts were from last years' blog posts. You maybe wondering why? I have been consuming soup and cough drops for the past 5 days-I have been sick with a cold. Instead I have a flashback of my look from fall last year. I'm looking forward to showing you all new looks and innovating new with old pieces from my closet. ļ»æ

makeup monday: blush shades

I'm wearing Maybelline Mineral Power in Rose I'm wearing Mark. blush from natural palette Blush colors: from left to right E.L.F in Coral Mark. Natural Palette Mark. Clutch on the go palette Maybelline dream bouncy blush in pink frosting Maybelline minerals power in rose Mark. Clutch on the go palette (2nd color) My many different blush color choices thru the seasons. I choose coral and neutral colors during the summer and when the fall/winter come I change to pinks and rose colors. My skin is a medium tone and rose/pink colors look best. If you are a lighter skin tone (like Emma Stone or Rachel McAdams) I would go with apricot to coral pink colors for a natural look. Hope you have a magnificent week! ļ»æ
