Five-Faves-Friday Vol 4

Happy Friiiiiidaaaaay! I spent most of this week being sick again! Yay! I'm starting to juice and get my weight-loss back on track. I have been looking forward to the weekend since Monday, heehee. I hope you all had a great week <3

EXTRA Sugar-Free Key Lime Pie Gum

 Okay, to start off I am NOT a gum lover.  My jaw gets tired quick and I lose interest in the flavor. If my breath needs a lil' summin summin I will pop in an Altoid...I saw these and assumed they would taste like minty key lime pie gum. WRONG! These have been perfect with helping with my sugar cravings.  I am the biggest sugar-monger in the whole world, it has been the hardest thing to give up.  I just pop one of these babies in my mouth and my sugar cravings are gone! Aaaaamaaaazing. Now I just have to hope they don't discontinue these! Have you tried any flavors? Thoughts, comments?

Indie Lee - The Body Scrub

 I'm pretty much the biggest Indie Lee product fan ever in all of the land. (I'm a fan of her too because well, she's awesome! Oh, you didn't know? Then go check out her FB page and you'll see why! #TeamIndieLee) If you follow me on Twitter then you know I'm always talking about her products, I'm def NOT paid or compensated in any way, I just feel so strongly about all her products because they do exactly what they say and are alllll natural, baby! I don't find that often where I love everything I've tried. I have had this next to my computer this week to sniff every so often and then it goes in my shower with my to make my skin feel like a baby's bottom...it's THAT soft! I just can't get over how deeelicious the scent is! All in favor of an Indie Lee Coconut Citrus candle, air freshener, fabric softening sheets & perfume, raise your hand....*raises hands as well as my fur children's* 

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish - Redhead

 I am huge MSF lover/collector, I just love the way they look, feel, taste (jk, just wanted to make sure you were paying attention). This one has been my go-to this week. The right side is the perfect blush and the left side is the perfect highlight for my cheekbones, cupid's bow, brow bones, nose...love it. I really like that I have my 2 products in 1. I have searched for other colors like this but none look the same as this one does on me.  I have literally used this every day since Monday! Do you have a favorite MSF?

Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich

This bad boy right here has been KILLING me this week with my weight-loss!  I think the people at Wendy's already know it's for me when they here through the microphone, "Can I get a Spicy Chicken Sandwich with only lettuce and add american cheese." These are soooo good and soooo addicting! Besides Chinese Food (and chicken strips) this is the other food I could literally eat every single day. I tried these about 4 years ago in LAX and the rest is history. This is also the only thing I will eat at Wendy's! My town doesn't offer much of well, anything so this is one of our few fast-food joints. I hate you Wendy's for making this sandwich so dang good!

NYC - Ultra Moist Lipwear

Most of my lip products are MAC, NARS & MUFE & I don't usually stray. I was in Wal-Mart and saw these for $.99 with a $.50 off coupon! Woot woot! I thought that for $.49 it was worth a shot to try these. These are so fun! They are very moist so the color is more sheer than your traditional lipstick.  I got every color they had and have been having a blast using them all! I have a client next Saturday who is going to a Roaring 20's Dance so the deep plum color is absolutely perfect for her! I love these because of their price! I won't be sad if one melts, breaks or I decide to let one go home with my client. Yay for NYC lippies this week!

I'd love to read your comments! Have a safe and happy weekend! Love you all!

Until next time,

Five-Faves-Friday Vol 2

This will be my second "Five-Faves-Friday" and I'm super excited!  I had a very bad week with Twitter...every time I would log on, it would show that I wasn't following people I know I was, so of course, I would go back and re-follow them.  Twitter took this as spamming or "auto-churning" and suspended my account on Monday...JUST GOT MY ACCOUNT BACK! Whoo hoo!
 Onto Five-Faves-Friday:

The Blemish Lotion by Indie Lee

I am "can't-eat-can't-sleep-reach-for-the-stars-World-Series-kinda-of-stuff" in love with this product. (BTW, don't you just love the It Takes Two quote? Classic movie...moving on) I referred to it in my video review as Magic In A Bottle and it seriously is.  The beginning of this post explains part of my week, well, it just turned out to be one of those weeks where EVERYTHING goes wrong. I spent 14 hours each day stressed this week, we all know stress = pimples.  This stuff has been a God send for my face this week! 

Philly Cheese Steaks

So you may be reading and saying to yourself, "Philly Cheese Steaks, what the?!" I will start off by saying I am probably one of the world's pickiest eaters. Seriously.  I usually don't try new foods, I stick to what I like and that's that!  Well there's a restaurant in town called Big D's Downtown Dive, I "liked" their Facebook page and would always see people raving about their cheese steaks, they even have a special Wednesday nights. I was very intrigued and decided to try one. WHOA! nfjgknfjkdgnfdkjgnkjfhgjfkdngdjkgnfk <-----that's how excited I got. I can't believe I have been missing out on these my whole life.  Since then I have been trying them everywhere, one of my favorites is at Subway! I have been obsessed with them all week long! 

Real Housewives of Orange County

I am a self-proclaimed reality-tv whore.  When it comes to any of the Real Housewives franchises, fugggetaboutit! I know everything about all of them.  OC was the first I started watching when Real Housewives premiered so naturally I seem to get more excited about them.  Tuesday, February 7th was the Season 7 premiere (one plus to my stressful week) and since I'm DVR obsessed, I let it record and watched it the next morning. Man, I just can't get enough of the OC! I loved seeing Tamra & Gretchen play nice and makeup at the beginning. Totally made my day :)

All of the LOOOOVE in the air!

I'm not a big fan of Valentine's Day even though I'm married, it's just not my favorite. What I do love about this month is all of the pinks and reds & chocolates everywhere you go. Pink + chocolate = Happy Marina.  It even feels like love is in the air.  All the stores have such beautiful things to make your Valentine's Day special and it just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. I love, well, LOVE!

Zoya Nail Lacquer in Perrie

Zoya is a new brand I discovered and I'm very impressed.  This color is such a fun Spring color (yes, I know we're still in February and I'm getting a bit ahead of myself) and it's a really flattering shade on me.  Once my polish starts chipping I switch colors but I have kept applying this color all week.  I usually don't wear colors for more than 2 days or so.  I think this is going to be so cute on my toes when flip-flop weather arrives!

I hope you all had a wonderful week and have a fun and safe weekend!

Until next time,
