New Shop Open</title><description>&lt;br /&gt;
Its definitely been awhile since I've blogged. At least a month since my last post.&amp;nbsp; I was going to try and keep up with blogging but life is pretty hectic at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between juggling work and me time, my family is my top priority at the moment.&amp;nbsp; I just can't find enough time in the day to do everything.&amp;nbsp; Still learning to adjust to not just have the two of us but the three of us.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully soon I can manage to do everything. Learning to be Wonder Woman is quite hard!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any ways, I wanted to share a little bit of what I've been doing the past month.&amp;nbsp; I've opened up cute Facebook boutique online and would love to share it with you all.&amp;nbsp; I've just added a few items, but will continue to add more cuteness to the shop.&amp;nbsp; A little jewelry, hair accessories, and other things I may have in mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
The boutique is called &lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/withlovefromgrace"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Love, Grace&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
All items with be sent "&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/withlovefromgrace"&gt;&lt;i&gt;with Love, from Grace&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;". A little love from my little baby blessing.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

I tell myself I will eventually get to it and use it however I don't.&amp;nbsp; Maybe its too pretty to use or I should save it.&amp;nbsp; That's been my mentality so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However that's not quite the mentality of the Mr. All he sees is just a clutter mess of items that I don't use and just collect.&amp;nbsp; I mean he collects stuff too so he doesn't say much, but I do admit my vanity can be a mess at times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So in light of my ever cluttered vanity mess, I decided to go about doing Beauty Empties post about products that I have finally used or cleared out.&amp;nbsp; I need to do this, so this will motivate me to use the items I have and then be able to buy more! Yay to that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Jan-Feb empties:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aRAzAjX5rX4/UT_FJuzQRbI/AAAAAAAAAuc/MhouRpkDmgU/s1600/DSC_4161.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="318" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aRAzAjX5rX4/UT_FJuzQRbI/AAAAAAAAAuc/MhouRpkDmgU/s400/DSC_4161.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Revlon Beyond Natural Concealer &amp;amp; Highlighter&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ~ I picked up this Concealer/Highlighter on a whim. The color was a bit off but not something I couldn't work with.&amp;nbsp; The concealer was creamy and easy to work with but not as matte nor full coverage as I would have liked.&amp;nbsp; I didn't really use the highlighter as much as it was too light for my skin and did not show up much.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Repurchase&lt;/b&gt;: I probably would not repurchase&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette - Hidden Agenda 07&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ~ I've had this for some time now and decided to finish it. I like that it does have three different concealer colors however for me, I had to blend two of the colors together to get what I needed. The powder was okay but a little hard to use. The consistency is pretty good its just the colors may not match well.&amp;nbsp; Overall this is a good concealer palette to try out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Repurchase&lt;/b&gt;: Yes I would&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. MAC C-Thru Lipglass&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ~ This is one of my favorite MAC lipglasses. Its a nude pink color with a like pink shimmer.&amp;nbsp; Other than the stickier consistency (which is common) I like the product.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Repurchase&lt;/b&gt;: Yes I would&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. MAC Nuance Blush&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ~ One of my Favorite blushes that I use often. I'm already on my second one which is close to being done as well. Blush colors are coral and pink with hints of shimmer.&amp;nbsp; The only con would be that it is limited edition. I had to look all over for my second one. So you anyone has a spare and don't need it, send it my way!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Repurchase&lt;/b&gt;: Yes if I can find one&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There goes my first list of empties.&amp;nbsp; I hope I get through more this month at least one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Use it up!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;So glad pastels are still in for Spring 2013.&amp;nbsp; I am totally loving all the light and spring colors that are in right now.&amp;nbsp; I just love how light and airy this Spring trend is; just of a feeling of being refreshed.&amp;nbsp; Now I just got to get shopping and fill the closets. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I'm Totally Ready for Spring!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I like bigger bags like totes and shoulder bags. I tend to carry lots of stuff as well especially with a new baby, a bigger bag will definitely help out instead of carrying a diaper bag and my purse. I don't seem as picky when shopping for purses, but somehow I never end up with one I really like.&amp;nbsp; It takes me so much time to pick one out that I just quit. Looking for the right length, size, and material is pretty much what I really look for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So today while I was browsing on Ebay, I decided to look up some purses on the site.&amp;nbsp; Surprisingly, I did find a few non brand bags that I kind of liked and would probably buy.&amp;nbsp; They are pretty cheap too which is a plus.&amp;nbsp; The only downside would be that I can't see them in person so I can't try them on and can't feel the material. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's what I found so far:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Which one do you think I should get? I really like the last one, however not in black but in the gray color which is not available.&amp;nbsp; I'm a little hesitant if I should get one on Ebay like I said earlier about not seeing it in person.&amp;nbsp; The prices are pretty cheap all under $20, which is good in my wallet.&amp;nbsp; I would love to have all those high end bags as well, but my wallet is totally not having it at the moment, so none of those at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll definitely keep an eye out again for more bags I may like and share them with you. Let me know if you have a bagI may like. Share!&lt;br /&gt;

Very easy to make all you need is Strawberries and Melted Chocolate. You can add various toppings such as sprinkles, pearls, and toffee bits or you can just have it the original way. However you like/ Still delicious in the End.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Having been only 4th day of the month, many items are already sold out or close to being sold out.&amp;nbsp; That being said, there is probably some very good items in this month's showroom.&amp;nbsp; This month's showroom showcased lots of soft golds and pinks, however a few striking colors also made up the rest of the color palette such as a few blues and greens.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here are some of my &lt;a href="http://jmnt.me/WVQJYE"&gt;Jewelmint &lt;/a&gt;Picks for the month of Febuary:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

For a monthly subscription of $29.99, &lt;a href="http://jmnt.me/WVQJYE"&gt;Jewelmint &lt;/a&gt;fans can get there hands on one of a kind jewelry pieces that appear in the monthly showrooms.&amp;nbsp; Like most monthly subscription products, you have the option to skip the month or buy a piece. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I do have a few pieces from &lt;a href="http://jmnt.me/WVQJYE"&gt;Jewelmint &lt;/a&gt;and so far I've been pleased.&amp;nbsp; Yes there are some hits and misses, but definitely worth trying if you haven't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Yes, there 
are different types of spring rolls out there with many types of 
fillings.  I think I like almost all of them.  The only ones I kind of 
dislike would be the ones with tons of veggie fillers and not enough 
meats or noodles. I'll probably still eat them anyways cause I like them that much.&amp;nbsp; All I need is my Peanut Sauce.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Here's a version that I love eating that my SIL made for us one day:&lt;br /&gt;
(sorry only one picture, should have taken more) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PZpf_P9fXFI/UPCWWbIS2gI/AAAAAAAAAsg/APDxLf-MSY8/s1600/DSC_3853.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PZpf_P9fXFI/UPCWWbIS2gI/AAAAAAAAAsg/APDxLf-MSY8/s400/DSC_3853.JPG" width="265" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ingredients: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Spring Roll wrapper&lt;br /&gt;
Egg Roll wrapper (rolled skinny and fried)&lt;br /&gt;
Chives&lt;br /&gt;
Deli Meat (we used ham and turkey)&lt;br /&gt;
Cilantro&lt;br /&gt;
Lettuce&lt;br /&gt;
(Any other fillers you would like, but we made it simple)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peanut Sauce *I"ll have to share this one day*&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This is a very simple recipe, no need for lots of cooking.  The only 
labor part would deep frying the egg roll wrapper and assembling the 
spring roll together. However with lots of people helping, it doesn't take long to assemble them.&amp;nbsp; I just love to assemble and eat right away, that's my take on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The best part that I like of this version is the crunchy egg roll piece in the spring roll. Gives it awesome texture. Add some Peanut Sauce or Sweet Hoisin Sauce and you have a yummy snack to enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;I want some now!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I found it rather cute and exciting to see that many home items were in Hello Kitty brand.&amp;nbsp; Its like going to Japan and seeing Hello Kitty everywhere.&amp;nbsp; I didn't get anything as the hubby probably wouldn't appreciate having to see Hello Kitty everyday in the kitchen lol.&amp;nbsp; Maybe someday he'll give in.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I've seen some of the swatches of the collection, wasn't a big fan, however the lipstick colors caught my eye. All the colors except for one are pretty bold and red the other was a sheer nude permanent color.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The collection launched online yesterday and like always all the lipsticks were sold out.&amp;nbsp; It was basically sold out when they launched on the site.&amp;nbsp; Too bad, I was going to get some lippies.&amp;nbsp; I guess I'll just have to wait to grab it at the store, and even with that, it may be hard because everyone will be trying to get them before me too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways, I'll try my best to get them come next week. *hopes*&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

Awhile back I purchased the OPI Hong Kong mini set and haven't really 
had a chance to play around with the colors.  The colors in the set are 
super bright and bold, so I have to be on a good mood to try something 
like this.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Dim Sum Plum is a hot pink magenta color polish. Under flash and sunlight it looks more pink, but in the dark its a more plum/magenta color. To me its more on 
the cool side which I like as it seems a bit more toned down.  I still 
think this a hot color and anyone can rock it.&amp;nbsp; If I think I can rock it, I'm definitely sure everyone can rock it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;OPI Dim Sum &lt;span style="color: #c27ba0;"&gt;Plum &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
*Excuse the chip polish on one the nails.&amp;nbsp; Picture was taken a day or two later after the initial application.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Have an Awesome Day! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This is especially great if you are new to the Beauty world and are in need of good quality brushes. It can also be great for budding makeup artist who needs something to start off with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Sephora Makeup Artist Brush Belt Set&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.sephora.com/productimages/sku/s1062710-main-Lhero.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.sephora.com/productimages/sku/s1062710-main-Lhero.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Description:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What it is:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A makeup artist's belt with a range of brushes for your every need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you need to know:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sephora's
 Brush Belt includes fifteen deluxe, professional brushes that will 
never leave you at a loss for makeup application. Every brush imaginable
 is at your fingertips, so you can create a professional makeup look 
anytime. The brushes come in Sephora's Makeup Artist Brush Belt case, 
made of easy-to-clean faux leather, with interior nylon pockets on the 
left and the right that are made to fit all brush sizes, and center 
pockets designed for a Kabuki brush on top and a bronzer brush 
underneath. An adjustable strap allows for the belt to be comfortably 
worn around the waist or over-the-shoulder. When you're done, simply 
cover brushes with the nylon flap, then fold the belt in half and close 
with the attached strap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This set includes:&lt;br /&gt;- Professional Natural Crease Brush #10&lt;br /&gt;- Professional Natural Smudge Brush #11&lt;br /&gt;- Professional Natural All Over Shadow Brush #12&lt;br /&gt;- Professional Natural Medium Eyeshadow Brush #14&lt;br /&gt;- Professional Lash &amp;amp; Eyebrow Comb #21&lt;br /&gt;- Professional Angle Brush #22&lt;br /&gt;- Professionnel Platinum Smokey Eye Brush #24&lt;br /&gt;- Professionnel Platinum Natural Powder Brush #40&lt;br /&gt;- Professionnel Platinum Natural Slant Brush #42&lt;br /&gt;- Professionnel Platinum Natural Fan Brush #43&lt;br /&gt;- Professionnel Platinum Stippling Brush #44&lt;br /&gt;- Professionnel Platinum Concealer Brush #45&lt;br /&gt;- Professionnel Platinum Foundation Brush #47&lt;br /&gt;- Professionnel Platinum Bronzer Brush #48&lt;br /&gt;- Professionnel Platinum Lip Brush #61&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the Retail price is $275.&amp;nbsp; You can get it now for just $150.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That's a total of $125 off the retail price.&amp;nbsp; This set is still worth over $400.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With 15 professional brushes and the brush belt, I think this is a great bargain for brushes.&amp;nbsp; I have a few of Sephora Professional brushes and I love them.&amp;nbsp; They still are in good condition.&amp;nbsp; When I started out doing makeup, I really wanted this set, however I couldn't justify paying $275 for it, so I never got.&amp;nbsp; Now that I have plenty of brushes to go around, I'm not sure if I'll get this, but you never know.&amp;nbsp; I still think this is an awesome deal that everyone who can get should.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most likely this is an online deal sale.&amp;nbsp; You can get it here at &lt;a href="http://www.sephora.com/make-up-artist-brush-belt-set-P207902"&gt;Sephora.com &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Get it before it's gone! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="color: #e06666; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

No excuses, I've been busy with life and new stuff coming up so I'll try to update when I can.&amp;nbsp; I decided to take a few months off to really get my life together and settle down a bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's a quick FOTD for you:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;A Berry Eye Summer Look&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
With the Glasses&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QKsOjiH3RqU/T-0RSTKYhWI/AAAAAAAAArc/LxaxK1oM6YU/s1600/DSC07720.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QKsOjiH3RqU/T-0RSTKYhWI/AAAAAAAAArc/LxaxK1oM6YU/s400/DSC07720.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Not quite sure what I used so here's a guess:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Eyes: MAC Cranberry, Sketch, Blacktrack f/l, and Revlon Cream Palette&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Face: MUFE HD, Smashbox Halo, MAC Instant Chic blush&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Lips: MAC Bare slimshine&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
Kept the look heavier on the eyes with the Berry look and then the rest of the face was much lighter.&amp;nbsp; Didn't want to overwhelm with heavy eyes and lips. Simple look that I love to recreate and wear often. Berry colors are very pretty!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;What colors are you sporting this Summer?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #e06666; text-align: center;"&gt;

Its one of my favorite stores to go and browse and shop.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also love shopping Target's beauty section since they have expanded and included lots of other brands that are different from the regular drugstore brands. Those include Elf, Jemma Kidd, Pixi, and Sonia Kashuk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every season Target comes out with a &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/TargetStyle"&gt;Free Beauty Bag&lt;/a&gt; up for grabs either on their website or on Facebook.&amp;nbsp; This bag includes deluxe samples for hair, makeup, and body. They also include coupons in the bag as well which is great for me because I love to coupon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So right now up for grabs on their Facebook, &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/TargetStyle"&gt;Target Style&lt;/a&gt; is giving away their Summer Beauty Bag.&amp;nbsp; The contents will remain secret until we receive them but I'm sure it will be great as always.&amp;nbsp; These run out fast, so sign up and get them!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the most recent trends I thought I saw was the two-toned border art? (is that how you say it?) So I decided to try it out. I didn't come out as well as I thought, as I'm not as talented in Nail art. Darn hand kept shaking! So I only have one picture to share.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Used: Zoya Ibiza and Sephora by OPI Metro Chic&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XMalI3b71lg/T7rxu9j6ZOI/AAAAAAAAArA/aMRx7g2ZImw/s1600/nails1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XMalI3b71lg/T7rxu9j6ZOI/AAAAAAAAArA/aMRx7g2ZImw/s400/nails1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The second attempt that night at nail art featured white French tips and a silver/glitter line. (excuse the dark remnants of the previous manicure on my cuticles)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Used Wet &amp;amp; Wild white polish and Milani 3D Holographic polish&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a8c9W5dntxY/T7ryaxP4oWI/AAAAAAAAArI/aS2R_p3LqKY/s1600/nails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a8c9W5dntxY/T7ryaxP4oWI/AAAAAAAAArI/aS2R_p3LqKY/s400/nails.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I kept the French polish on for some time as I wasn't too fond of the border art. I'll definitely have to try it again maybe with different colors to see if I like it.&amp;nbsp; For the time being I'll keep practicing! Nail art, even painting my nails can be time consuming! arrhh!&lt;br /&gt;

I basically disappeared for some time.&amp;nbsp; Alot of things have been happening these last two months and I've been busier than ever before.&amp;nbsp; Now when I come home from work, I just want to cook, eat, rest, and go to sleep.&amp;nbsp; I have yet to find more motivation to do anything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The man and I have also moved into our new home and with that, it took a huge toll on us.&amp;nbsp; We are still in the process of moving stuff around and unpacking which will never end from the way I see it, eventually it will get done.&amp;nbsp; I haven't even set up my office for blogging and pictures, so it was an excuse for me to stay away! Hopefully I can get things settled and come back to blogging.&amp;nbsp; I definitely need to finish up a few posts I meant to have earlier in the month ready for everyone plus a few new ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways, here are some of the quick items I found this weekend at my local shopping spots. When I was suppose to look for house items, I found these instead hehe!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These were my almost buys! I had to tell myself NO!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Michael Kors bag - I was in love, but the handles were a bit too short for me.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4OA3-9JPtnI/T6iAQg2PFUI/AAAAAAAAAqU/3X76HThoSxE/s1600/photo+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4OA3-9JPtnI/T6iAQg2PFUI/AAAAAAAAAqU/3X76HThoSxE/s400/photo+4.JPG" width="297" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I really had to convince myself to not get this bag. Coach bag - $199&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oL3COR49CUw/T6iASHpei8I/AAAAAAAAAqc/m-p8HZi8nyc/s1600/photo+5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oL3COR49CUw/T6iASHpei8I/AAAAAAAAAqc/m-p8HZi8nyc/s400/photo+5.JPG" width="297" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My No Buys:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This looked cool at first, perfect for papers or my makeup, but the drawers were hard to pull out and put back in. Not sturdy for clumsy me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uXITfOfKTVw/T6iAWIaw08I/AAAAAAAAAqs/iiO_7HzeVhs/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uXITfOfKTVw/T6iAWIaw08I/AAAAAAAAAqs/iiO_7HzeVhs/s400/photo+1.JPG" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Some organizational stuff that I passed for now.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--fhhHYkTDBY/T6iAUHzsBjI/AAAAAAAAAqk/4i9fu0VreKw/s1600/photo+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="149" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--fhhHYkTDBY/T6iAUHzsBjI/AAAAAAAAAqk/4i9fu0VreKw/s200/photo+3.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SBVFn-Mp2nY/T6iAZGWCeDI/AAAAAAAAAq0/7fiHr-O1GLQ/s1600/photo+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="149" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SBVFn-Mp2nY/T6iAZGWCeDI/AAAAAAAAAq0/7fiHr-O1GLQ/s200/photo+2.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quick post to get the week started.&amp;nbsp; I hope to take a few pics of glimpses of my house or at least my work and makeup area. Once I have those two organized, pics will follow.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Strawberry Festival = Yummy Food!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing about fairs and festivals is the fried foods that we get to indulge in just a few times a year.&lt;br /&gt;
Here you go!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Funnel Cake&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIGQYQyr3GI/T2fiZgJhl8I/AAAAAAAAAp8/_KPiWEtWdUI/s1600/stfestival1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZIGQYQyr3GI/T2fiZgJhl8I/AAAAAAAAAp8/_KPiWEtWdUI/s400/stfestival1.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Fried Pickles&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ko086gB_k7A/T2fib4ZGOAI/AAAAAAAAAqE/H_ouR_zZDJI/s1600/stfestival2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ko086gB_k7A/T2fib4ZGOAI/AAAAAAAAAqE/H_ouR_zZDJI/s400/stfestival2.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Bloomin Onion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u8aW5bMJeu4/T2fid-D0MHI/AAAAAAAAAqM/GzRIp40Y6CE/s1600/stfestival3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-u8aW5bMJeu4/T2fid-D0MHI/AAAAAAAAAqM/GzRIp40Y6CE/s400/stfestival3.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And the reason why we go every year:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Strawberry Shortcake! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-afJjzegIBsc/T2fiYbmH7II/AAAAAAAAAp0/DoEyxEwdGII/s1600/stfestival.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-afJjzegIBsc/T2fiYbmH7II/AAAAAAAAAp0/DoEyxEwdGII/s400/stfestival.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We had lots of fun. Just walked around, talked, looked at other people, laugh, sing, eat, and eat. Can't wait until next year to do it all over again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
End of the night:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_e9_rgPXb88/T2fiU-ooU-I/AAAAAAAAAps/DmhJaeL19qM/s1600/stfestival4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_e9_rgPXb88/T2fiU-ooU-I/AAAAAAAAAps/DmhJaeL19qM/s400/stfestival4.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Will be announcing my Giveaway Winner soon! Can't Wait!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

My favorite places to find styling tips and fashion ideas!&lt;br /&gt;
Here's two looks that are definitely my style.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Totally My Style - Casual Pretty&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/130956301634556265_39d2TAwO_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/130956301634556265_39d2TAwO_c.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/45528646202910449_5uZmLnPH_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/45528646202910449_5uZmLnPH_c.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/45528646202933646_Ak26vQul_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/45528646202933646_Ak26vQul_c.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Casual Pretty to me is more on the casual part but with a some prettinest here and there.&amp;nbsp; I love the added accessories in the pictures above, it really compliments the outfit and give it more of a prettier look than just the jeans and shirt kind of outfit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
I'm definitely a casual dressing girl. I love to be comfortable and chill but still look like I attempted to put an outfit together.&amp;nbsp; Sandals and flats are my faves and love all the handbags because they are mid size and still goes with the outfits.&amp;nbsp; Who can go wrong with jeans? White, dark washed, bleached, as long as they are jeans, I'm cool with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;What's your Style?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;*Remember to enter my &lt;a href="http://simplybeautifulyou.blogspot.com/2012/02/500-friends-giveaway.html"&gt;Giveaway&lt;/a&gt;* &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;simplybeautiful&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I've done a bit of picture research of what items I would love to have in my closet.&amp;nbsp; If only I had a closet the size of a bedroom, I could totally do whatever I wanted, however I don't, so I can only dream of the most amazing closets I will never have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Dreaming of Closets:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljejvwcZvV1qejg00o1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="303" src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljejvwcZvV1qejg00o1_500.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.closet-shelf.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Walkin-Closet-Designs.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I'm in Love with this one below:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pseriesstylist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mariah-careys-closet-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="331" src="http://www.pseriesstylist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mariah-careys-closet-2.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://planbredesign.com/__oneclick_uploads/2012/01/another-closet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="286" src="http://planbredesign.com/__oneclick_uploads/2012/01/another-closet.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;This will probably the closest I get to dream closet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.closets-design.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/master-closet-design-ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="392" src="http://www.closets-design.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/master-closet-design-ideas.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I actually like the last picture design because it looks just about the right size for the walkin closet in the house and it has many different aspect that I need for all my clothing and accessories.&amp;nbsp; Who wouldn't want a closet like Mariah Carey or Kimora Lee, I sure would love one, but then again I don't have that many items and I would not know how to organize everything. I know that I definitely want space for shoes, dresses, drawers, clothing accessories, and more space. Still looking at different alternatives and seeing what will be most logical and easiest for everyday life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;What would your DREAM CLOSET have?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Butters, Blushers, Glossers&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Gn9vOz_DN_M/T0w8xd7csdI/AAAAAAAAApE/CBDVkwFUOi4/s1600/b12.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="298" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Gn9vOz_DN_M/T0w8xd7csdI/AAAAAAAAApE/CBDVkwFUOi4/s400/b12.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Maybelline Dream Bouncy in "Rose Petal" and Revlon Lip Butter in "Peach Parfait"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QEhpgK2Rf7c/T0w87CSeVUI/AAAAAAAAApU/mgKE-Rzu4w0/s1600/b4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QEhpgK2Rf7c/T0w87CSeVUI/AAAAAAAAApU/mgKE-Rzu4w0/s400/b4.JPG" width="298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Korres Lip Butter in "Pomegranate" and Korres Lip Gloss in "30 Beige"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NSdyYaU2Pa4/T0w8zVHH9HI/AAAAAAAAApM/9jE5gEOby_g/s1600/kores.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NSdyYaU2Pa4/T0w8zVHH9HI/AAAAAAAAApM/9jE5gEOby_g/s400/kores.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Can't wait to really try these products.&amp;nbsp; I was iffy at first about the Korres products, but I decided to grab them.&amp;nbsp; The lipgloss was actually on sale at Sephora JcPenny, so I nabbed it before it was all gone.&amp;nbsp; I also used coupons for the Drugstore purchase so I saved a bunch of $$ on them too. I love shopping for deals.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Will do a follow-up post on whether I like these products or not hopefully soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Have you tried these products before? Do you like or dislike?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I was paired up with Michaela from &lt;a href="http://www.latherrinserepeat.com.au/"&gt;Lather Rinse Repeat&lt;/a&gt; blog who was from Australia!&amp;nbsp; This was one of my first real blogger swap and I was super excited to give and receive.&amp;nbsp; Michaela was super lovely and sent me some awesome goodies from Australia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I can't wait to try out all the things &lt;a href="http://www.latherrinserepeat.com.au/"&gt;Michaela &lt;/a&gt;gave me. Thank you soo much!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I hope she enjoys all I gave her!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
