Monday Must Have: Nars "Orgasm" Blush

I must admit I have become a makeup snob. I have come a long way from my covergirl blush and foundation. Once I entered the doors of Sephora I was a convert. The rows and rows of eye shadow, all the glorious brushes, the perfumes, the skin products, the beautiful lipsticks.... ooh I was in love I tell you. Through my many visits and many products I have grown to love an amazing blush. It is by NARS and the name of the blush....... "Orgasm"

The reason I love this blush so much is because it goes on different for everyone - no joke. I went with a couple of my co-workers. On me it went on a pinkish/red, on my other co worker it went on a orange/red and on my other co worker a pink. It is light and soft - feels good and does not have that cake-y feel to it. Whats even better is it stays on all day! I have a horrible habit of touching my face throughout the day which means I go home looking as if I didnt even try! eek! Thanks to this blush I leave with some color on my cheeks! Cheers to that!

New Start

Hello! You may remember my previous home over at http://www.mariasmusings.net/ and while although that was a wonderful place to share my fun finds, discuss random happenings, and share interesting things I feel in some way I have outgrown that blog - or quite possibly gotten too bored with it. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that I didn't really know what I wanted from that blog or what I was trying to do with it - it was sort of an enigma. I had fun with it, but it was time to move on. Since my last couple posts over there a lot has happened. I got married, I moved into our new house, I've been working a lot, we are adopting a precious little Yorkie (which will be coming home with us in Sept), I've been doing a lot of thinking, and have been trying really hard to not only to find organization but balance in my life.

It has been a crazy emotional rollercoaster and I have learned a lot along the way in a very short period of time. I am constantly amazed at what I am able to handle and what I am capable of - makes me realize that as long as I am focused I really can accomplish anything I put my mind too.

So here are a couple of my goals:

I will work hard everyday (whether it's at my job, with my relationships, or my life)
I will work at continuously improving myself
I will pursue my dream more aggressively
I will work hard at being in the best shape I can (even if I have some hiccups along the way)
I will give thanks everyday for my blessings
I will learn to love myself despite my imperfections
