So I am actually going on a vacay. First time this summer. WHOAA! I'm headed to the beach. I'll see ya guys next week. I wish you all could come with us. Have a terrific weekend!

Top: Old Navy Skirt: Thrifted Bracelets: gift Ring: gift Inspired by: If you noticed the background is not the same here. I chose to venture out into uptown to brick street. When I first started taking pics there was no one around. I was a little shy when noticing these people standing and watching. I noticed some had their camera phones out taking pics. I actually felt cool and shy. Did this guy think I was shooting for a mag?? If he did, that is way too cool. LOL. EBEW.com had an extra challenge. Thrifted. Yes it is not a word, but it is in the blog world. I shop in thrift stores ALOT. Another girl's worn is another girl's treasure? I was really excited for this one. I have alot of pieces in my closet that are from the thrift store. My skirt came from the thrift store. It is a ruffled, light, and floral skirt. This skirt is just right for the summer. This outfit is not what I would wear to an office ( like my others), but it's a great one for a summ...

Today I have some great products to show you. Products that I use and love too much not to share. Mark lash all you want high volume mascara I'm so excited about this mascara!! HIGH VOLUME! It adds up to 12X volume in ONE coat. This is not an exaggeration. The brush has bristles at the tip to get the tiniest lashes or what I like to call baby lashes. Ha! It comes in all the colors you would want plus cool ones like wine and violet. This mascara makes your eyes really pop and applies so easy. Also this is a fave of Ashley Greene's (the initials are hers in this pic). Right now there is a special offer for all of you! Lash all you want and make me lash both for only $12!!!! Mark touch and glow shimmer cream cubes all over face palette This is an adorable palette. It's luminous, shimmery, and brights up your skin. Don't worry if you have oily skin it doesn't slide off and make your face extra shimmery. The palette is cream to powder formula. You can apply it as b...

First and foremost!! my lil fashionista <-  I swear she has more style- swag ( i know S & Kim are laughing at me cause I totally just said swag)  than me and she is only 15! Watch out world! I can't believe it. Just yesterday she was 2 and she thought i was the coolest person. she immitated everything i did. now she's her own, she's mighty beautiful, and an awesome young lady.   if ya dare mess with her, im coming after ya with my stillettos! I'll try. LOL. I love you! Purple is a go to look for me. I think it's the easiest eye color/shadow to use. When I first started experimenting with makeup-purple was the color eyeshadow to use. You can apply it as a day look and night. It makes a beautiful smokey eye color if you pair it with black or gray. Also if you had a late night out or your eyes lids are puffy- purple is the perfect color to hide that puffiness (also use with concealer). PS~ The tank you see is a sneak peak of my wednesd...

For my cousin's (Malee's) birthday I decided to make her Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes.  I was excited to share the cupcakes with Malee and her friends. The cupcakes did not turn out the way I wanted.  I made cupcakes before, but this time I used the ice cream scoop to make the cupcake portion in size. This caused the cupcakes not to rise to the height I wanted. Instead of throwing it away I decided to make TRUFFLES!!! For cupcakes/truffles: 1 (18 1/4 ounce) package white cake mix 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin 1 cup mashed fresh strawberries (1 and 1/2 c. whole=1 c. mashed) 1 cup vegetable oil 1/3 cup buttermilk 4 eggs For the lemon cream cheese frosting 1 tub Whipped Cream Cheese frosting 1 -2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice For chocolate coating 1lb dark or white chocolate Prepare and bake the cupcakes according to the directions of the package for a 9x13 cake. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely. Crumble the ...

Top: (yellow) Marshall's Green Cardigan- Gift Pants: Old Navy Jewlery: Gift For this month's fashion challenge from EBEW (something yellow) I had a difficult time. My closet does not have a lot of yellows in it. Even though yellow is one of my favorite colors this summer. I guess there are not a lot of yellow pieces I like out there. I do have this yellow tank/baby doll top. By itself it is not flattering on petite girls. I put it with a green cardigan, which worked out because my office is pretty cold in the summer time. The cardigan helps keep my small frame too. Although I hated going outside in the heat wearing the cardigan. But I spend most of my day inside because my job is a 9 to 5-actually make that 830 to 530. Overall the yellow, green, and brown together worked nicely. Alot of earthy tones! BTW these pics bring me back to high school senior portraits, no?

We celebrated Malee's (Emmie's) 9th birthday this past weekend. I find it more difficult to shop as they get older. We just went out and bought her clothes. I think she might be at that age where fashion matters? My mom bought her Justin Beiber gear. Malee says she's not a fan. We were dumbfounded. A girl who isn't fond of JB??! OMG! I found a great summer outfit and it was pink. I hope pink works for her. At that age it was blue for me. Yep BLUE! I grew up with boys, so I was a bit of a tom boy. Who would have thought Lisa? A tom boy? I liked basketball and soccer and I played against-boys! One time my cousin kicked the soccer ball into my face. A girl would cry, right? No. I chased him around the yard for a minute until one of the other boys held me back to stop me. I was stubborn too. He was the cousin that I always got into fights with. And I'm talking pushing and shoving.  But we love eachother-it was a love/ hate type of thing. Thanks to my mom ...

This week I wanted to explore an edgy look. What I have seen lately is all this black and gold {yellow to me ha!}. Emma Watson showed up on the red carpet premier of Harry Potter this past week with the look. Harry Potter is my fave btw! I'm so sad it's over. However Emma's make up is beautiful. Black and Gold also has been spotted on the k-pop group Rania in their new video "Dr Feel Good." Check them and Emma out. They are sexy in this makeup! See how I did using mark makeup for the look: makeup details: EYES: mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Stellar & Corset mark please hold eye primer { a must for the heat!} mark make it big lash plumping mark get in line hookup liquid waterproof eyeliner { a must for the heat also!} **I think for a brighter/richer gold color on the eyes {for next time} mark Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner & Shadow in Iconic would be a lot better for cameras to pick up. The yellow/gold on my skintone is lighter an...
