This Pixi’s an Early Bird

November 27th, 2012 by Karen 17 Comments

Did I tell ya that I’m trying this new thing where I wake up at 4:30 in the morning?! I’m going to see if I can turn myself into an early bird. I’m definitely NOT a morning person, but I love the idea of getting lots of stuff done before sunrise. We’ll see how long it lasts…

Maybe I should wear the new Pixi Early Bird Kit ($34) to commemorate this new experiment. 🙂

You can find the Early Bird Kit at Target, target.com and pixibeauty.com.
