After Christmas Sales!

Frankly, I have to say that I’m a little bit happy that the Christmas holiday is over! I’ve been out of the blog loop these past couple weeks and haven’t been able to post here because I was busy selling my jewelry! However, I’m back into the full swing of things and taking a little break from making and selling jewelry. I even had some time to do some after-Christmas shopping and spent some time in Ross yesterday. I didn’t find much, but did walk away with a skirt for only $3.49!

Here are a few deals I came across on the ’net:

It's the Famous 1/2 Price Sale! Buy one pair, get the second pair of equal or lesser value for 1/2 price now at Famous Footwear.

Women's Boot Sale at Gotham City

Have Presents For Your Beautiful Friends?

We're getting closer and closer to Christmas! If you celebrate this holiday and are still scrambling around for gifts, look no further ;) I've been browsing the net and have come across some cute gifts that you can give...




Every girl loves lip gloss, right? I know I can't survive without a tube of lip gloss in my purse. Give your girlfriends this set of eight Hypershine Gloss available at e.l.f.






Every diva needs a great travel kit when jet setting to far-off distance lands! This L'OCCITANE Shea Butter Travel Treasures Kit is sure to put a smile on any friend's face, eh?



For those friends who love sweet-smelling scents, (like me!) you may want to give her the Pink Sugar Body Lotion by Aquolina, 8 oz Body Lotion for Women



Of course, these are just a few suggestions for holiday gifts. Do you have any to share?

Oh, and by the way... if your friends have a love for jewelry, you may want to buy something at my jewelry shop!

Is It True That It Takes Fewer Muscles to Smile Than Frown?

For all you men who may come across this blog, you may be interested in knowing that the magazine, Maxim, has just launched a new section called the Common Myth and Urban Legend Debunkkment Section. It’s an interesting section that tells us whether or not what we believe is actually true or false. Here’s an interesting tidbit that is relevant to beauty...

Myth 12: It takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown.
The truth: Sad, but true.
The mantra that every bleeding-heart optimist uses to encourage the rest of us to cheer up is actually correct. “Smiling only uses the zygomaticus major and a couple of other muscles below the eyes and around the mouth,” says Daniel Zwitman, Ph.D., speech pathologist in west Los Angeles and former professor at the UCLA medical school. Looking miserable takes a lot more effort, using lots of muscles with boring names. So, turn that frown…

Believe it or not, a smile can boost your prettiness quotient by many degrees! Who wants to hang out with someone who is always frowning anyways?

For Those of You Who Like Sweet Perfume

Last week during my San Francisco trip, my brother and I looked around in Bloomingdale’s and Betsey Johnson’s perfume caught my eye. Now, I mentioned before that I’m not big on perfume, but lately I’ve really been into shopping for the perfect perfume. I want something sweet and light. Well, Betsey Johnson’s perfume is very close to what I like. Very sweet ;) Another perfume that smells sweet is Pink Sugar. Yumm!

Know of any other sweet-smelling perfumes?
