Photo: a pool at a long-forgotten hotel in Waikiki on Oahu, Hawaii
Morning, ladies! Happy Saturday. I’m staring at this huge mountain of laundry, and truth be told I’d rather be doing something fun like web surfing.
Wait — we’re all grownups here. Why don’t we just bail and catch some e-waves instead?

Hi Karen!
It’s raining like crazy here right now and a bit cold, so it’s like summer’s gone back! So frustrating =/ and I have a creeping ache in my head, sigh.. have a good weekend and say hi to Mr. Tabs =)
I’m really pretty excited about the MUFE Aqua Creams! I also may need to cave on the Ulta Goth nail set! 😛
Happy Weekend!
Oh my gosh, Winne totally made me cry! Thanks for sharing that bit of sweetness.

Happy Saturday! I love SWV!

Ohh Nora – she’s so sweet! And she loves music! I heart how she is totally giving love and cuddling the piano when she’s playing the duet at the end. Too cute.
And while I would not throw down the money for La Mer’s face cream, that’s mostly because it’s too heavy for my skin. I am however saving funds this very moment to plunk down $165 for the Eye Balm. Best eye cream ever!
On the flip side, that means my only makeup purchases can be of the drugstore variety – thank god for brands like NYC – and thanks Karen for the shout out!

Sent my sister a care package that included Nymphette because I like my tube of it so much. Says she loves it! You ought to be getting royalties. 😉

Yay, it’s Saturday! I’ve been trying something called Charming Enzyme, it’s like enzyme supplements, which is good for the digestive system. So we’ll see how that goes. But it was like $50 a bottle that you can only drink for 12.5 days, so the price is pretty steep. So it better works!
Oh, btw, it’s Victoria Day long weekend in Canada… yay for long weekend XD

Thanks for the link love, Karen.
I’ve had a pretty hectic week so I’m spending today and tomorrow chilling out at home with my boyfriend and catching up on some sleep.
Happy weekend Karen!

OMG, the Winnie video was beautiful!

Back in Houston… we took a meandering drive home and drove through some old Texas towns. 🙂
I have those Blushable Creme Sticks – found them in the grocery store of all places. They do blend like a dream and for a drugstore blush, it is pretty awesome! 🙂
Those MUFE Eye Creams are pretty tempting! 🙂
Just thought I’d share… I’m playing hooky from ALL responsibilities on this wonderful saturday!
.-= Jen’s last blog post… The Colossal Fight. =-.
Aww, the short film for Winnie was beautiful! Unfortunately, I’m not really playing hooky today — ran a bunch of errands this morning and will be completing (or, more likely, attempting to complete!) the dresser that I’m refinishing after dinner.
I’m actually so glad that you linked to a bunch of mint green polishes today; I’ve been trying (and failing!) to figure out exactly what polish my detail paint reminds me of… and now, I’m pretty sure it’s a dead ringer for Orly Gumdrop! The colour for the detailing is going to be super-cute ^^
As always, thanks for the link love, hon 🙂

Ooh that’s the Halekulani hotel pool in Waikiki. I love that pool because it has a giant flower on the bottom.

SWV is my JAM!
Nice to see SWV on here — they’re my favorite female group! 🙂
Wow! Totally random to see the Winnie video here!!! The beautiful mom was a close friend of mine in middle and high school!

I mean, the Winnie’s mom. lol, didn’t realize her mother was in the film for a sec.
