NEW LINK UP! On that note, I’ve been wanting to do a fun link up for a long time. And I’ve finally got the idea for one. With Thursday being the unofficial start of the weekend, and with the weekend being a time when we feel it’s okay to break some rules, I’m going to be hosting a Thursday link-up all about breakin’ the rules in fashion. *’Cause I don’t really think there are any* Link up starts next Thursday October 10th. I hope you join me.
And the first rule I want you to break is : No white after labor day. So antiquated. Let’s show ’em how fabulous we look breakin’ all the rules. Style an outfit that breaks this rule and link up next Thursday. Easy peasy!

I was surprised yet again. She had chosen really great colors for me. I should’ve known better than to doubt when I opened the box. I loved the orangey/coral blush *and the name, ‘orgasmic’!* and the Huetopia lipgloss. It’s hard to tell in the photos because I don’t like to wear too much and therefore it doesn’t show up all that well, but the blush gave me a wonderful subtle glow.
The gloss is a bit thick for my everyday preferences, but for a night out like this it was great because it lasted all night with only one touch up. The neutral shimmer eyeshadows in Beige Mist and Hot Pants were just enough color without making it seem too obvious as, like I mentioned earlier, I don’t like to go too crazy with make up.
I will say, and here’s where it becomes really apparent that I rely on others for my make up, that the mascara curved applicator took me a bit to figure out. But once I did I really liked how easily it went on and how it made my lashes pop without bulk.
I’ll be reaching for all of these frequently. Especially since I have nothing else like it in my collection. Now, I’m kind of wanting to get the Russian Red and Diva lipsticks. Hmmm….

I bought a P90x chin up assist.
When it came in the boxes I was so excited about my new toy.
Little did I realize that I had also bought a robot costume for baby girl.

It seems that women *the teens and early twenties variety especially* seem to forget that leggings are not pants. They are leggings. A hybrid between tights and pants. Therefore you should always remember one thing: cover your ass! Ladies, regardless of how nice or well scuplted you deem your derriere, please cover it when wearing leggings.
Too many a time have I walked behind a young woman on the metro and seen the exact shade and shape of her underwear through the bum she presented to me underneath her leggings. It’s not a view I particularly enjoy with my morning coffee. I don’t want to see it, and while there are some who do, please for the sake of the rest of us keep it off the public metro and streets by just doing me one little favor: cover your butt.

Baby girl went to her first ballet class. Yes, she did. And she looked so cute in her bodysuit and tights. But Andrew and I sat there both rather embarrassed. You see, we have that child. You know the one. That child that runs around while all the other girls are nicely in a circle. The one who sits down while everyone dances. And the one who pouts in a corner because the music stopped, and she wants to touch something she was told not to. Yup, we have that kid. And while it’s funny now, at the moment we looked at all the other parents, who looked right back at us with that other look in their eyes.
On set recently, I recounted this story and my friend said to me, “Look around at everyone here. We were all probably that child.” It’s true. I was. I turned out *sorta* all right. As did those other folks on set.
