I can’t believe that I will celebrate my 2nd Thanksgiving here. Time does fly really fast. For the past  2 Black Friday sales, I do not know why I did not checked on Sephora, Ulta and even Dillard’s and Macy’s make-up counters. I will this year, that I promised to myself. And yes, the self-imposed shopping ban has been lifted since I-can’t-remember-when lol! It has been officially moved to January-March 2010.  Have a Fabulous Thanksgiving everyone!

Since I’m such a sucker for toiletries, perfumes and lotion, the best “me-time” activity for me is bathing. I just love feeling the shower on my hair and lathering my skin with foamy soaps! I swear I am the most hard to please person when it comes to bath and powder room supplies. I hate going to dirty bathrooms, I’d rather hold my pee instead of stepping into a dirty one! more…

Yey for weekends. Never mind if the weather does not cooperate with our weekend plans. I am just happy that weekend is finally here. That means, DH would be home, go out for a few shopping and probably some smorgasbord treat from my folks. However, this Sunday would be a little different, friends from NYC are coming over for a quick visit. more…

Giddy as I can be, look what I found in my inbox today? Never mind the plenty weight loss sites that were in my inbox as well, as if these diet emails were trying to tell me that I should start taking their pills because I am expanding once again yay!

I am so going to shop for the super stash!. Imagine $10 off on my bill is not bad at all. I promise my mom I would give her zero and stash shades and of course those new Eldorado shade :) . Don’t forget this sale will run until Nov. 20 only.
