The Bilzzard of 2010

Well, I survived my official first blizzard! The Blizzard of 2010 in New York! NYC public schools were closed today, and basically the whole city shut down! But life does go on, so I trudged to work as the snowflakes fell this morning. As I walked outside, all bundled up- rain boots and all.... I lost my hat to the gale force wind and my umbrella blew inside out... what a way to start the day! But I made it to the snow through the quiet city..... the office was bare bones today, funny how the city shuts down and native NYCers and East Coasters can't make it into work, but a California Girl makes it!

This is my 'snowman' I made on my balcony.... my very first snowman or 'snow gal' EVER! Of course I had to jazz it up a bit! Here she is flashing her raisin tooth smile, wearing her best pearls of course!

Show Us Your Life - Beauty Tips & Products

I am a beauty product junkie- high end, bargains, infomericals..... advertising definitely works on me- I am always trying new products!


Face

My beauty face routine has recently changed- I got my first facial at Bliss Spa in December, and it seriously changed my life- no joke! The winter cold weather has been drying my skin out more than the Sahara Desert, so I was in desperate need of a makeover. I know am loving the Youth As We Know It cleanser, and Skin Ceuticals Vitamin C serum, and my favorite of all time moisturizers, La Mer, and La Roche-Posay


As far as make up goes- I pretty much use the basics, Bare Essentuals make up, Maybelline Great Lash Mascara, and my love of Lip Gloss.... I have so many, it is my weakness... but I do love the Victoria's Secret line of lip glosses- they are super cheap, taste yummy! My fave color is 'Cupquake'- they are the best!
