MUST WATCH!

If you are an animal lover, specifically a dog lover, you MUST watch the documentary on HBO "One Nation Under Dog". I can't describe how honest and heartwrenching it is. You simply must watch it.

My personal feelings are so deep, it will take more than a post to express them. I just hope something is done, and soon, about this problem.

This documentary made me hug and kiss my babies even more.

Cityscape in the desert

Last weekend I ventured out to Cityscape in downtown Phoenix. Until then, I never had the chance to check out what it had to offer. I figured it was time for a summer wardrobe and a quick glance at the downtown shops.

I headed over to the West of Soho shop first. The shop is a small boutique with very cute clothing and accessories. I, however, came out empty handed. (I am extremely picky about what I wear and the money I spend) The items were all reasonably priced, but I decided they were not for me. But I do recommend it!

I also headed over to Starbucks for a quick drink and rest (being about 106 degrees outside).

Next, I headed over to Urban Outfitters. After wandering around the store for a while, I also decided nothing there was for me. I was disappointed with the shop because I was hoping for a wide selection of cute dresses for the summer, most especially Maxi style dresses, which was the one item I was looking for, but they didn't have much to choose from.

I wandered around Cityscape a bit but decided that it was just too hot after about an hour.

All in all, I think its a great little area to hang out, when the time is right, and summer is not the right time. I do recommend more shaded spots. But the foundation in the middle of the court is nice and cute.

I think I'm more use to stores such as Forever 21 and Ulta. If Cityscape were to open those stores, I'm convinced it would be more popular!

I didn't have a chance to visit Charmin Charlie's, but that will be next on my list if I'm looking for any accessories.

I love Phoenix, and I am happy to see it expanding and growing. It still has a ways to go, but its getting there.

Keep bringing those shops around!

:D

Peace.

And. . . I'm back! With stuff!

Oh my goodness, where did I go???

Oh yes. . . . life. I sort of have a life. Just a teeny little bit of one.

So after many months, I've decided to start up my small blog again, because I actually have been doing things in this hot State I live in.

First off, I've been continuing my love affair with makeup, and I've found a few products that I absolutely adore! Highly recommend them.



1.  Urban Decay 'all nighter' setting spray. This products works wonderfully as a makeup setter. I use it every day and I have not had a break out, even with my sensitive skin. It's wonderful.

2. Tarte 'smooth operator' mineral clay finishing powder. I love love LOVE this product. It's a great makeup setter, eats up excess oil, and gives a nice finish to my skin.

3. Nars cream blush in 'Lokoum'. This color is so nice and perfect for summer. A little dab on the cheeks is all you need. It fits nicely with my caramel skin tone.

 

4. Mac lipstick in 'Frost'. This is a nice shade for summer. A quick coat is all you need for a nice light look.

5. Loreal Infallible lipstick in 'Enduring Berry'. I like to mix this shade with Mac's 'Frost' for a nice daytime look. You can use a double coat for an evening look.

6. Tarte Vitamin Core lipstick in 'Sweet Dreams'. I bought this product from the Tarte site on sale. I'm not sure if its discontinued, but I was lucky to buy it when I did. It's wonderul! It goes on more like a lip balm. It moisturizes and gives enough color to the lips to make them look classy and plump. I love it.

If you tried any of these products, let me know what you think. And if anyone recommends anything.

Hope you enjoy!

I will be back with additional blogs soon! Including a review of downtown Phoenix Cityscape!


Peace.
