Lazy Girl Shortcuts

Use a bit of foundation on your lips before applying lipstick.  It will help your lipstick stay on longer


Slightly heat your eyelash curler before using it to lock in the curl


A dab of Visine will take the red out of pimple


If your face turns cherry red after exercising, use an ice cold towel on the back of your NECK for two minutes.  This will help reduce the redness in your face.


Baby oil is great to add to your daily moisturizing routine for a bit of extra sheen.  In a pinch, a pea-sized amount can act as a shine hair serum before dashing out the door


If you ran out of your usual shave gel, no worries!  Use conditioner - you'll actually get a better shave and your legs will unbelievably soft afterward.


Olive oil is great to use on dry skin.  To treat areas like your feet, apply generously, put on socks and then head to bed,  By morning, your feet will be super soft,

Ventura Holiday

The drive took FOREVER!

Between the friday-get-out-of-town people and the people going to the fair, we lost about an hour and a half but we eventually made it.

flying past the nuke plant

and getting through Los Angeles and then:

and finally on Amy's street in Ventura

We met up with Amy and she took me to get our haircuts at "Pinups" and I loved my stylist.  Here's a quick video that I made for Mom.  What do you think?

and then we went shopping!  

I finally go my new Hello Kitty Bag that i've been dying to get for a million years!

and I bought a new pair of shoes..... just like Amy's that she bought the day before.  I'll have to take a picture and post later but I LOVE them.

We found this nerd  y Hello Kitty with glasses and sent the picture immediately to Kasey!!  She LOVES it.

Speaking of Kasey.  She was a Maid of Honor in Cerrie and Jack's wedding this weekend in California, Maryland.  (lol)  She's sooo pretty.

then there's this picture which looks more like Kasey to me!!!

and here's me and my bestest!

and us again!

no caption needed for this photo, huh?

and even Pookie enjoyed the sunshine and the wind.

I'm not going to even go into the hotel room we had.  I'll leave that for another post.  Fair warning:  it was pretty ugly.

final words:  I loved being with Amy and Tom.  Jamie had some back problems (may have been from the bad bed) so he wasn't able to go out into the ocean, which bummed him out but I think he had an okay time.

I know that Pookie and Weasel had a good time with lots of chasing and biting.  I guess they had a good time.
