Just For Fun

Heya, chicas. Can you believe it’s already mid-September? Before you know it, it’ll be Thanksgiving, then Christmas… Where does the time go?

I’m already feeling a little nostalgic for summer, so I put together this list of posts from July. These were some of my favorites of the month.

1. Gaga for Gold with Chanel Fall 2008
2. Makeup Tutorial: A Peach, Brown and Green Eye for Summer
3. Mally City Chick Smokey Eye Kit in Nolita Navy: Makes Blue Eyes Easy
4. The $29 Drugstore Beauty Roundup
5. Loving on MAC Love Connection Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo
6. Autumn in the City: Sally Hansen Fall Nail Lacquer Colors by Tracy Reese
7. A Green and Grey Eye with MAC Fresh Green Mix Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo
8. Save Big Bucks on Stila and Smashbox at Costco
9. How to Attend a Free Chanel Master Makeup Class
10. Tuesday Beauty Tips: Be Good to Yourself

Not much on my agenda for today beyond some cleaning and maybe a trip to the mall. El Hub asked that I help him pick out some new clothes for work. In boy parlance that means his last few pairs of pants have holes in them, lol!

Have a good one today. Tabs says hi.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. Hey, animal lovers. Stop by the cosmetics department at the downtown San Francisco this Thursday, September 18, for a Day of Beauty for Pets. The event will benefit , a local non-profit providing emergency medical treatment and adoption services for pets.


I volunteered with them as a dog walker a couple years ago and had a lot of fun. They’re a fantastic organization.


On the 18th, Bloomies will donate 10% of all cosmetics purchases to Pets Unlimited. You can even bring along your pet to help you shop. Fido can get his picture taken or his portrait drawn while Fluffy gets her pet tag engraved. Keep an eye out for the workshop on holistic animal care.


If you live out of the area but would still like to support the cause, call Bloomingdale’s at (415) 856-5540 to place an order by phone. They even ship internationally (as long as your items aren’t flammable, lol!). For more information, visit .

1. It’s your weekend, which means you have errands to run: a trip to the grocery store, dropping off the dry cleaning, taking the kids to soccer, etc., etc. Would you rather have to run your weekend errands wearing a 1980s aerobics outfit (complete with striped leotards, tights, leg warmers and head/wrist bands) OR dressed like a Playboy bunny (all the way, with the fake ears and fluffy bunny tail)?
YOU MUST CHOOSE!

2. A girlfriend entered you in a strange contest where winners receive $5,000 in Chanel, Shu Uemura and MAC makeup. To win, you have to scarf down your choice of either 20 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches OR 10 pieces of Kentucky Fried Chicken by the end of the day.
YOU MUST CHOOSE!

3. Would you rather make out with a sweaty (Bangkok Dangerous!) or a sweaty ? (Sidenote: Speaking of Philip Seymour, do everything imaginable to avoid seeing the first five minutes of … You’ve been warned.)
YOU MUST CHOOSE!

4. Would you rather spend your Friday night 1) trapped in a dark, stinky basement with 16-year-old boys playing Dungeons and Dragons by candlelight (they think it’s cool if they all ) OR 2) stuck watching football with a bunch of middle-aged former frat boys unable to complete a sentence without the word “DUUUUUUUUDE!” in it (hey, at least there’s pizza and beer)?
YOU MUST CHOOSE!

5. Describe your idea of a perfect Saturday.
YOU MUST CHOOSE!

C’mon, c’mon! It’s time to play!

1. ’80s workout clothes or Playboy bunny?
2. 20 Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or 10 pieces of KFC?
3. Sweaty Nicholas Cage or sweaty Philip Seymour Hoffman?
4. Dungeons and Dragons or the football dudes?
5. Your perfect Saturday?

Happy Friday, girlies! I’m starting a shizzload of laundry and straightening out my desk right now (fun, I know). What’s on your plate for today?
