Happy Friday!

Hello loves. Happy Friday and cheers to the freaking weekend. I'll DEFINITELY drink to that after the week I had. I hope you all have something fabulous planned this weekend. I will be busy. Lots of parties and I'll try to take pics and post them next week.




I'm already starting to think of holiday makeup looks and came across this one from Pixiwoo on YouTube. Just thought I'd share it with you. Simple yet striking look inspired by Katy Perry.

Holiday Gifts Under $20

Bonjour ladies! It's officially December and time for holiday parties. I get really excited around this time because every year some friends of mine from high school do our annual "Diva Christmas Party". Each year has a different theme and color scheme and it makes it really fun.

One thing we always do is a gift exchange with a price cap of $20. I know sometimes you're thinking what can I get of substance for a close friend for $20 or less? Well I thought about it and I'm going to share some of my list with you. I hope this helps you for your holiday gift shopping.

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for Her! Cosmetics

Valentine's Day is only 10 days away. I know some people wait until the last minute to purchase things or even come up with an idea of what to purchase for that matter. Just wanted to give you a little help. And when I say gifts for her, I don't only mean gifts from a man to a woman. These could be gifts that you gift your female best friend, your mother or a female lover (I am not one to judge).

I'm all for purchasing gifts that are personal and have taken some thought. Its just a couture touch to gift giving that lets the recipient know that you took the time out to think about them and not just buy anything. Get something that will last and if its something that is fleeting make sure its a moment that they will remember for a lifetime.

In this post I'm going to focus on the beauty crazed person in your life. Here are some things you can purchase

B. Scott Double Kisses Lipgloss
Keyshia Dior's Secret Kisses Lipstick
MAC's Tough Love collection
Crackle Nail Polish

What's on Your XMas List?

What did you all ask Santa for this year? My honey asked me for a list of things that I want, and in my OCD fashion I emailed him a list itemized with categories. Hey what can I say I like to make it easy for people to shop for me since I'm so picky. I even provided him with links so he can literally see what I want. Was that a little too much? I did the same thing last year and he said it saved his life. All he had to do was walk into a store, pull out his blackberry and say "This is what I'm looking for". Said he never spent more than 10 mins in a store.

Here is the list that I sent him this year. I literally copy and pasted the email that I sent him:

Holiday Gift Ideas: Men's Watches

My godfather always told me never trust a man that doesn't wear a watch. A man without a watch is a sign of a man that has nowhere to be. I was much younger when he told me that and thought it was silly but now I agree. I often find myself looking at a man's wrist to see if he's wearing a watch.
