Why Now? What do we do? Where do we turn? But more importantly, Who do we trust?!?
First, we go to our very "best" and most "discreet" friends only to find that our pains become public after a few martinis.

In search of: Eye Cream that makes me look Fresh and Vibrant so no one
will tell me, "You look tired," Again. Has this happened to you?? ...I
love when people say that to me, SAID NO ONE EVER.<br />
<br />
Eye creams are a bone of contention between all those who do or do not use them. Some of us say they are necessary, while others do not believe they are worth your money.<br />
<br />
I'm open to either.<br />
<br />
What I'm realizing is that a decluttering is necessary. I'm pretty sure the sample of Kahina Giving Beauty Eye Serum is treating me well and is working for my transition towards clean skincare ingredients quite nicely. As you will notice, I've used it all up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Except for 3 that have been mine for a while, the rest are deluxe sample
sizes I've received. Caution: I'm about to share my opinion...by no
means am I saying these do our do not work. I'm sharing my personal
experience with it because it may help.<br />
<br />
I want to love La Mer with all my heart. I really do. The burn story and the green sea miracle broth really fascinates and excites me. But WHY Mineral Oil? That is a gunky, petroleum by-product. Please La Mer, I beg you, take that out of the ingredients. We don't want that on our skin.<br />
<br />
The Perricone MD was fine until they raised their price from$150 to $185
within a year. Um, hello? It didn't work so well that this inflation
is justifiable. <br />
<br />
Sadly, the Caudalie Premiér Cru and the L'Occitane Divine Eye Cream have
done very little for me especially considering the cost. This makes me
so sad because I Love the Caudalie line immensely. The L'Occitane story
about the white Immortelle flower is as gorgeous as the scent. But in
terms of anti-aging...meh, I saw no difference. As for the others,
I've been curious to try the Algenist Beauty Eye Balm that came in my Sephora Play Box. <br />
<br />
Importantly, in my move towards cleaner choices, you can see the eye
serum from <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">K</span>ahina Giving Beauty has been winning my affection. It's kept me hydrated and feels cooling underneath the eyes. So far it's lovely and unscented. I'll keep
you updated.<br />
<br />
What Eye Creams do you all recommend? <br />

<i><b> The Box</b></i></div>
<br />
Have you gotten one of these yet?<br />
<br />
When I first posted this on my Ig, I could barely get in the house before setting these up for a few pics. The sun was about to set and I was scrambling to get a post in by evening.<br />
<br />
This particular parcel was given unusual priority. <br />
<br />
Here's the usual progression: Email comes in announcing that the package is en route. I then spend the next week or so "Tracking Package Progress" obsessively. Upon arrival, I am inevitably preoccupied with _______(fill-in the blank), so thereby completely unable to open the highly anticipated said package. Hence, the box gets opened for a moment, but then must patiently wait for it's official "unboxing".<br />
<br />
However, this time I got into it like a little kid on Christmas Morning. Tissue. Flying. Everywhere.<br />
<br />
Before I knew they were being sent to me, I was wanting the concealer so badly that I had placed it in a cart on
at least 2 different websites. I
contemplated what <i>wants</i> versus actual <i>needs</i> were defined to be. All the
while I was possibly waiting for some type of miracle that the
mind-numbing amount of money that I had spent on Back-to-School items
would somehow yield a $30 excess left in the budget. The summer was mostly for others. Truly, I probably craved having just one thing all for myself. <br />
<br />
As you can imagine, I gave out a great shout for joy when I learned a concealer was on its way. But what I did not expect was that Influenster had more exciting things in store. Here's my review:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.katvondbeauty.com/" target="_blank"><i><b>The Lock-It Concealer Brush</b></i></a></div>
<br />
I love the innovative, streamlined design of the handle of this brush.
It is a pleasure to leave laying out on my desk; it is sleek in its simplicity.
When holding the brush, it is light & weighted correctly so
that it is effortless when applying concealer. The bristles are graded
so it tapers to a flat angled edge in the center. This helps with
specific maneuvering around curves of the face. It's easy to create the
upside down triangle with this. It would make for a usable
contour brush around the nose area. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.katvondbeauty.com/" target="_blank"><i><b>The Lock-It Setting Powder Brush</b></i></a></div>
<br />
Think of a brand new, soft teddy bear but lighter in composition. It's
softer than that! SO lightweight in the hands AND works well to apply setting powder in a non-invasive way. It is not scratchy. It
doesn't mess up your makeup. It is unreasonably my latest obsession...I received this free for review, but I'm serious. Would I spend $38 on it? I might. Would you? Check it out for yourself and see.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><a href="http://www.katvondbeauty.com/" target="_blank">The Lock-It Setting Powder</a> </b></i></div>
<br />
This sets the foundation nicely. The powder is lightweight and
unscented. Heard about some seeing pearly flecks, but that didn't show up on my skin. It was just pure, lovely finish. Ideal for light skin but great on my olive skin too. Received many compliments so far. My hesitation is that it is $30. That could be the deal killer if you are happy with your Coty Powder. But, If you are already splurging on the La Mer, then this could be a good alternative. I do like it better than the Make-Up Forever one because there is no white flashback in pictures. Additionally, I find it to be a much lighter and more comfortable formula compared to Laura Mercier's Translucent setting powder.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.katvondbeauty.com/" target="_blank"> <b><i>The Lock-It Concealer </i></b><i><strong class="Latn headword" lang="nl">Crème</strong></i></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This stuff is magic. I have normal to dry skin. Nothing has ever worked on me because it always settles in and accentuates all the fine lines. But this concealer makes me look fresh. It withstands the day into the evening. Leaves a beautiful finish on the skin under the eyes. The light will hit under your eyes and reflect so you look awake. Do the upside down triangle and Blend.<br />
<br />
Don't use a lot. Use a dab with the KVD #40 concealer brush. You should be happy with the results. Do Not over do it; it would be like overdoing a liquid lip so it looks thick and cakey. The formula is Lightweight despite med-full coverage. One thing is you have to work quickly because it tends to set right away. Apply under good lighting for best results.<br />
<br />
I use the M25 as my concealer and I use the M17 as a matte highlight if I feel like contouring.<br />
<br />
Let me know how you are liking this product. I love hearing from all of you. Have a great week!<br />

This is not beautiful, I know. But if you want pretty pictures, go to my Instagram feed. You have landed on the BRB blog, where you are obviously Not in a lovely place; you are living in the real world where you have a little 911 on your hands.<br />
<br />
You seek my help because things are, well, getting...messy.<br />
<br />
I've heard all the excuses before, heck, I have used them myself. You've been focused on social media, parties, meetings, guests, appointments, kids, YT...<br />
<br />
Hey, this is a Judgement Free Zone. My full-time job of Social Events Coordinator/Chauffeur to my people this summer has kept me out of my house so I completely relate.<br />
<br />
But I'm going to get real with you: Even though your schedules are tight, If you don't HANDLE the DISHES, They Will Man Handle YOU.<br />
<br />
No worries. I am here for you, my friend. There is no reason you cannot conquer baked-on-caked-on-neglected pots and pans with dried up and sticky day old (or more???) food (ie., orange chicken or please don't tell me...moldy pasta???!?). <i>I'm talking to you, adult children</i> <i>of whom we approve!!</i> Ok, Ok, no judging, I promise.<br />
<br />
I got you.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Follow these Steps VERY CAREFULLY:</b></div>
<br />
1) GO to the dryer (or washroom area) or where you left your last clean pile of clothes THAT YOU MEANT to FOLD and Put Away, but are still there.<br />
<br />
2) FIND the old Dryer Sheet you used. Moms, I know you used one. College Kids, you need to use one because your laundry is a liiiitttttle... RIPE. Still.<br />
<br />
<i>Go on, you can do it. I'll wait here...</i><br />
<br />
3) Did you Get it? Now, do a little spin, and throw it in the Pot/Pan.<br />
<br />
4) Fill the Pot/Pan with lukewarm water.<br />
<br />
5) WALK AWAY for 10-15 minutes depending on severity of the situation. You may add a drop of soap if you cannot help yourself, but it's better to use it at the end.<br />
<br />
6) COME BACK in 10-15 minutes (please). Set the timer on your phone or you'll forget.<br />
<br />
7) Easily wipe away the grime. You may use a couple of drops of Environmentally Friendly, Non-SLS Dishsoap if you need.<br />
<br />
8)RESUME Life and Smile👊🏽 You're Welcome😇💋<br />

I'm pretty sure there are still many of you who need this. Recently, I attended a Birthday BBQ; I shared this with 2 girlfriends while we were cleaning baked beans from the crock pot. They were really excited about it. I hope you and your Mani 💅🏼are now, too💝 <br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b>Welcome to the family, Madison, Kathryn, Ashton, and Stripped.</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm officially locked into the liquid lipstick craze. I have now inducted four new colors of the second generation of Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick into my ever-growing collection. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Because I need them... ( I know what you're thinking...and you agree that, YES, I do. Thank you.) In fact, when I think of it, I may need more. I've heard Dolce is a great coral nude. Le Sigh. Anyhow...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b>Everyone can find their nude bliss.</b></h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Which one should you get? I don't know. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can stalk social media trying to look at different swatches or how someone with a similar skin type looks, but repeat after me, "Filters change everything,". Overall, I love this new collection of nudes/neutrals with a couple pops of color. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b>Find what suits you.</b></h3>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><i>CAVEAT</i></u>: Factor in the infinite combinations of lip liner, gloss, and a person's own natural lip pigmentation that could alter the overall pigment you see on others. Consider how things look through the camera lens versus live.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For instance, multitudes of people love the original shade, "Pure Hollywood". HOWEVER, when I attempted to wear this color out, I appeared one distressed jean away from <i>Pure Crackhead</i>. What I learned is that it was her and not me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So my friend, learn from my mistakes and don't blindly follow trends without doing your research. I think you'll find that this collection has something just for you so you don't have to compromise. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<b>Thankfully, the wide variety offered here is impressive.</b></h3>
<br />
Whenever I am online trying to get an idea of what color I am trying to order, it has been dicey at best. And I stalk swatches like nobody's business... so *Recall <i>Caveat</i> from above ^.^<br />
<br />
I've ordered a "nude rose brown" only to find it shows on my olive/medium/tan skin as more of a beige rose. This is certainly no one's mistake as much as the colors you see on the screen aren't necessarily the colors you seek. It's just disappointing to finally get your box in the mail only to have to return/exchange it. *single tear* <br />
<br />
I strongly recommend swatching in store and then going home before you buy the product in order to get a better idea of what the color looks like in different settings. You don't want to find out your lip game was strong in the house, but ratchet in the rear-view mirror. But if you are no where near a store that carries them, no worries, I made this for you.<br />

The new formula has a light, mousse-like texture. After it dries, it feels comfortable and light, almost as if it's not there. Almost. Not sure if you can see from the pics, but the older formula (3rd, 5th, and 7th from the bottom) applied a bit streaky.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As best you can, only do one swipe across the lip and work with a lip brush if you have to. The lighter the layer, the better your lips will look. If you get heavy handed, your lips could end up looking cakey with emphasized lip lines. Stop yourself from smacking those lips together.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is opaque and dries pretty true to the color of the tube. Wear is about 4-6+ hours depending how much you eat, drink, or run your mouth (lol, I say this all in love... I have to talk A LOT for my job). As it wears, the new formula will fade in a subtle way so you won't be walking around with you-know-what mouth. It did start to flake off my arm after ~8 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b></b>Ok, that's it for today! Remember to have fun with it Beauties. That's why we make-up. And if you see another on the street wearing an amazing liquid lip, don't hate! Spread the love and make their day by giving a nice compliment to them. I saw this awesome instagram once: </div>

Is there anyone even reading this anymore? Hope so. If you are, imagine I'm giving you a giant bear hug like someone who genuinely misses you because I do (unless you're not a hugger...then, here's a 'sup' with a brow raised head nod). Forgive my absence on this blog. Time has distracted the better of me.<br />
<br />
You see, I've been on a journey. I have been on a super amazing adventure outside the realm of this virtual world to soak in some quality time with my little family before everyone becomes too cool to hang out with me. I reconnected with the part of myself and my psyche that is healthy and giving and nerdy and confident and flawed. I learned that it is OK to make mistakes and let go of things of the past that keep you in chains. I realized that there are things that you can never go back and fix, but those very things must drive you to be better and do better next time around.<br />
<br />
Importantly, what I have found is that beauty, the very purest form of it, comes from within you and me, and unless you venture outside, unplugged from devices, you will miss it. And those who love you, or coulda woulda shoulda loved you, will miss out on your beauty too.<br />
<br />
So thanks for hanging in there friends. I want you to look in the mirror right now and tell yourself that you are loyal. And for that I'm going to share some fun things that may save you in a pinch as well as remind you that you are beautiful inside and out #nofilter;)<br />
<br />
Maybe today is a bad day for you. Hang in there. No matter how deeply you think you are in a funk, remember you are special and you are loved. Wake-up and smile for each day his mercies are new.<br />
<br />
And if everything is just meh, well, it's time to slay it with your head held high because today is <b><i><u>your</u></i></b> day.<br />
<br />

Let's just say that I had to take a little jaunt off course in order to see how off course I had become. I'm sure many of you have done this. It's quite enlightening and highly recommended. Nonetheless, I'm ready to return. And for you loyal followers, it will be worth your wait. <br />
<br />
Just to keep you all at bay until the debut, here's a little tidbit to put into practice in the meantime:<br />
1. Get an eggtimer<br />
2. Set it at 20 min.<br />
3. Start a task (laundry, dishes, homework, making phone calls, you choose...)<br />
4. Don't deviate from this task until the timer rings<br />
5. Repeat<br />
<br />
You may find that you get a lot more accomplished than you could have imagined. Good Luck getting organized, and I'd love to hear how things work out for you all:)<br />

I know I've been on a bit of a vacation but I must say I miss you all and will catch up with your comments and blogs as soon as I can find a decent internet connection. I love hearing from all of you!! So I hope you can forgive me; you see, I've prepared this little BRB S.O.S. to make it up to you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><strong>Like me, if you have been enjoying the "extended" version of the long weekend as an excuse to take a vacation on a sandy beach under the hot sun, then this tip is just for you.</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Throughout the Summer (<em>and yes, it's almost here</em>), and especially this weekend in particular, we have planned and packed for the long haul. It's been days since we've seen the car (where'd we park again?). We have staked our claim on some prime real estate in front of the vast aquamarine sea, set at the perfect distance so that the tide will certainly Not soak our perfectly peaceful dream come true.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Many times we stay at the beach and continue the festivities to the local bar or bonfire gathering. Some of us are lucky enough to have a nearby beachhouse to go to. Many of us change with supreme finesse under our towels. Most of us cannot muster the energy to treck back to our vehicles so we do what we can near the showers and the public restrooms. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Either way, the step from wet, sandy swimsuit to dry, comfortable dress is never quite as easy as it should be, am I right?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><strong>Sand is so nice...until you have to get the grainy nuisance out of the, well um, more hidden areas of your body!!</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><strong>Here's How To Get Sand Off in A Flash</strong>:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">(works well getting it off of your children too!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><strong>1. Grab the Talcum Powder</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">(Burt's Bees has an incredible powder and it smells subtle and fresh.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Baby Powder works but do You want to smell like a freshly changed diaper before that potentially romantic bonfire, hmmmm??)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><strong>2. Sprinkle It Liberally Where Needed</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">(Under the bikini bottom area, Under Armpits, On the back, neck, and sparingly behind the ears)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><strong>3. Towel It All Off</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><strong>4. Now that the sand is off, you can use a wet washcloth and some lotion to get you back to Glowing Goddess/God;)</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">AND IN THE LOVELY EVENT THAT SOMEONE WALKS BY YOU AND KICKS SAND ON YOU, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"><strong>Talcum Powder also Helps:</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">TO GET SAND OUT OF EYES - close eyes and sprinkle some on face then gently brush off sand with ease</div><div style="text-align: center;">TO GET SAND OUT OF HAIR - put a little in your hands and rub it gently into your scalp then use fingers to work it out of hair (<em>this absorbs oil too</em>)</div><div style="text-align: center;">TO GET IT OUT OF A BABY'S DIAPER - again, sprinkle on then gently towel off.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange;"><strong><em>Hope This Helps You Too.</em></strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love having powder on hand. It's gotten me out of so many binds. I can't tell you how many times it's saved me the trouble of getting all that crusty sand off of my body parts, hence no annoying dirt on perfectly prepared outfits. Enjoy your newfound comfort and easily slip into your next activity with confidence!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hopefully, you have at least one more day in the sun my lovelies. Don't forget your sunscreen;)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll see your sunkissed faces soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It wears as if it's up for any type of activity including, but not exclusive to, running, jumping and spending long hours stuck in traffic on a hot day with friends and luvahs. Extremely comfortable. Lightweight yet durable. Luckily it doesn't easily wrinkle and keeps it's shape even if you want to lay around on the grass for an afternoon. The style easily transitions from a Day in the Park to Shopping and then Happy Hour at the Beach.

Three alabaster buttons make a special appearance on the back of the shirt to create a darting that flatters the waistline, esp. if you button up the front.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB8YTWeSH00eo_mpGml0FHd8N-AhcmCQ-CZU1cjcMcr_b6eTg9KpBF9ZHMfml0zHUpImo0TXfqLEHAYt7iGW4vVeSTNFQLE_kiBUQ3xcY6RtwCbe71oueaRsrHqQJ_y21BV8KjrdOesWHB/s1600/eandj+plaid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB8YTWeSH00eo_mpGml0FHd8N-AhcmCQ-CZU1cjcMcr_b6eTg9KpBF9ZHMfml0zHUpImo0TXfqLEHAYt7iGW4vVeSTNFQLE_kiBUQ3xcY6RtwCbe71oueaRsrHqQJ_y21BV8KjrdOesWHB/s320/eandj+plaid.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Image fr NeimanMarcus.com</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><i>Kudos MK and Ashley Olsen!

You've probably seen it in posts recently. Well the color is great, but you'd better wear a topcoat or it will chip, bubble, and struggle to stay on. Even the brush annoys me. It's flat and fat. It leaves streaks. It dries before you finish your coat. It makes me sad. In fact it is so crappy that I refuse to even show you a picture of the product. I don't even want the sight of it on my blog.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I even passed up the Revlon Scented option because it had way too much yellow and seemed a bit greenish aqua instead of bluish. I know, I know, what's the diff? Remember how Crayola used to have Greenish-Blue and Bluish-Green and there wasn't really a difference? Well, the Revlon color had a reflective yellow green iridescence. This Sally Hansen had a shimmery aqua blue. Difference is Revlon's formula is consistently quality and doesn't always need a topcoat if you're in a bind. Apparently, Revlon had the exact color to this SH product last spring called "Blue Siren." Nothing to cry over.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Moving on.</div><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What I wore to balance out the bright lip for Daytime was this fantabulous, dark, batwing tunic from Metropolitan. The open back drapes down with 2 simple strings that tie right at the shoulder blades. The lower mid-section gathers subtly across the hips and ties the ruching on the side; this seems to flatter the waistline and yet still cover enough of the badookadunk (<i>dangit!</i> One of you lovely bloggers got that term in my head and now I cannot stop using it today) to be tasteful. Interestingly enough, the dramatic top almost seems understated next to the sizzling lip.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">Accessories</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Because of the stripes, I did not see it necessary to over do it.

First of all, Ms. E, I am honored to be not only mentioned, but <b><i>featured</i></b>, on one of your posts, <a href="http://fablog.facefab.com/2010/04/brow-raised-logic.html">as seen here</a>. I'm so glad to have met you, and I am so thankful that even though it's been only a few months, you have taught me to embrace and not be ashamed of the strong woman I am. Lucky to know you.<br />
<br />
And Amanda, I am also so humbled to receive your Beautiful Blogger Award, <a href="http://www.xflossy.com/2010/04/beautiful-blogger-award.html">as seen here</a>. I confess, I was coveting this award a while back when I started noticing it on other blogs. Thank you tons and tons for sharing it with me and bringing such positive vibes to my little piece of the blogosphere=) I receive it with nothing less than big love and appreciation for you my friend. It just made my day and I couldn't help but smile.<br />
<br />
My new friend, <a href="http://loveimaginecreate.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-woke-up-other-morning-and-saw-mr.html">Holly over at "Love Imagine Create"</a> reminded me in a post today that family is to be cherished. So I want to acknowledge these women as important family members in an online community that is suddenly becoming more of my own small world than I could have ever imagined. Everyday each and everyone of us reads about each others thoughts, hopes, dreams, creations and priorities and we become closer by default. How we treat each other is how we treat and care for ourselves. I really love reading your words and resting my eyes on all of your lovely pictures. So Thanks to all of you for taking time out and spending a few minutes on my side of the browser;)<br />
<br />
Lots and lots of love to you!<br />

And polyester "finds" from thrift stores sometimes...well, most times, stink "b.odorously" (<i>sure</i> it's a word!). The better the piece, the more likely it was worn at full-bore - singing and dancing the night away. <br />
We can only assume that these pieces moved about during exciting times, but we do not desire for the garment to retain the malodorous remainder of those days, do we? <br />
<br />
Fortunately, my Mom took really good care of hers so there is no problem with the ones I've received from her lovely and well-scented closet. And if you find a reputable vintage store online, they will send you pieces that were screened/cleaned and don't carry too much of a lingering odor (A special Thank You to Lulu's.com! Shipping was quick and the vintage top smelled fine - post coming soon).</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_rMcBEBYHLuJrU1mv3sc3EANlj4gpu6uNPhYECPQL3klICPpqpBnMglumSVstpr7UrNz-GXRWMsLqxcd93Av36yJjMyIhbCz18jJko0QNwXVF3UJqtZvZQwY_ZGxMUKxvQFfix3VIhQb6/s1600/Vintage+Finds+4-10+036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_rMcBEBYHLuJrU1mv3sc3EANlj4gpu6uNPhYECPQL3klICPpqpBnMglumSVstpr7UrNz-GXRWMsLqxcd93Av36yJjMyIhbCz18jJko0QNwXVF3UJqtZvZQwY_ZGxMUKxvQFfix3VIhQb6/s200/Vintage+Finds+4-10+036.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Vintage Windsor Top Arrived!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">However, I have spent several afternoons around the country at some of the best kept secret, secondhand spots with the most outstanding fashion.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span">Ahhh...segue to BRB Post on Getting Rid of Polyester P.U.</span></i></b></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">During my research, I found great ideas from iVillage.com.<br />
I loved some ideas better than others, BUT understanding a bit about chemistry, I strongly advise AGAINST ammonia ever being added to a clothes washer, sink, or tub (because if it ever mixed with chlorine bleach - that means hair dye bleach too - KABOOM!).<br />
<br />
But I'll tell you a few of the following methods that have worked for many, myself included.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;"><b>DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES TO DEODORIZE</b></span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000;">*Note: Each number indicates a SEPARATE technique</span></b><br />

instead of the small tub.**<br />
I'm thinking that this might allow more exposure to the charcoal for filtration...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Seal bag and leave for a few days. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The charcoal should filter out the odor. Think water filtration system, but with air.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Be careful not to let charcoal dust get onto clothing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Even the paisley pattern is well planned in its simplicity.</div><div style="text-align: center;">As I mentioned, this particular blouse is of a raw cotton nature.

Aside from organizing my closet once again, this weekend will involve activities that hopefully revolve around re-discovering other very special things that I already exist in my life;)<br />
If we open our eyes to the present, we can see what is before us.</div><br />

It was one of those non-make-up days where I had to rush somewhere super early and attend to a burdensome load of things, hence no time for bells and whistles. I figured that If I threw my hair up in a quick chignon and wore sunnies, no one would be the wiser. By the time I got to taking pics for you, my chignon was withered by the weather and more of a <i>chig-not</i>, but the progression represents so much of how the day went, so I'll go ahead and post;)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's ideal isn't it? The shade in the car seems to provide this fresh faced, non-sweaty model a place of refuge from the sweltering desert sun and hopelessly drunken males (yup, the one who couldn't put on his flip flop as well as the one who is running rampant in his tighty whities). She lounges lazily on the black, leather seats (without losing skin) in a crimson, ruffled bikini bottom (LOVE, but alas, Sold Out) and bohemian long sleeve top pondering what to do next (because that is a HUGE problem).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She looks <i>ahhh-mazing</i>, but bored!! Her outfit is impeccable, yet she completely misleads the inexperienced onlooker or online shopper preparing to purchase proper attire into thinking THEY TOO will have a quiet moment to think at the upcoming event.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well, now that all is said and done, many of you giggle with me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As in life, we go and purchase, or revive, our favorite things in hopes that we will also have a model moment to ourselves to soak everything in. This is why we love to look at the beautiful models in the mags. We are able to see captured moments (carefully choreographed) and we very rarely get that in our own lives.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We dress in our meticulously planned outfits and we lovingly prepare our faces only to exit our homes and enter into a world of chaos - experiencing fantastically, fun, yet utterly, unstoppable minutes that fly into the next. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And I can almost guarantee that at the end of the day, we all wish we could have taken a few moments to be present and stop time if not to just hold on to some of those very <i>moments </i>just a little bit longer;)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

In the past few days, I've had the opportunity to check out some of the most fabulous (couture and ready-to-wear) shoes that have graced the pages of the blogosphere (It's been quite rainy here so I haven't had my mind on much more than Wellies and Boots, so I do apologize if you are well on your way into the AW10 collections). Now that the sun seems to be teasing us more here on the West Coast, I'm ready to think pedicures and playful platforms. I'm actually Thrilled to at least have had the privilege to lay my eyes on these beauties.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZkXb04M_Lsvt1ieya0orWBj0garcvOstB5EFkub-J7BOxwUL4g3vUcO75pqHCRuy2TDoTH_D5Kj-TRhR_WAKWS4jRG9Snk-Qdjt5UoWkFKeyKWfvmcRwSe6ehnFb-xG6hZ3fyEq9RVdoy/s1600/ShoesVR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
