TRAPPED

So I have lacked in my posts this past week or so, sorry about that everyone. I have just been caught up in getting ready to set off to college and prior commitments. I should post something soon.

BE BOLD...be red

MOVIE UPDATE
Confessions of a Shopaholic went beyond my expectations it is well worth seeing. I laughed almost the whole way through!

HEY VALENTINE!

Happy Valentine's Day or I guess Singles Awareness Day? Whatever, it's about celebrating love! How about that?

Don't let your Valentines Day be tragic. Let it be:

a)magical

b) a good memory

c) special
d) heartfelt
e) all of the above

Need tips for this great day? The Weekly Blogette has tips for you readers!

Pictures from Ellegirl in their "Date" make-up category. (Of course you don't need a date to make yourself look fabulous, you do that for yourself!)
DO: a smoky eye and a pink or nude lip
combined with a flawless complexion.

PRODUCTS

Eyeliner: Revlon, their eye products are long lasting and will not fade easily
Eyeshadow: Covergirl, the shades/colors are fantastic and will play up your eyes.
Mascara: Maybelline (only the best!), I have a friend who loves her lashes long and thick and I have heard nothing but good things about Maybelline's products
Lipgloss: Nivea, its called "A KISS OF SHINE", this stuff is great I tried it might self. It's not sticky and moisturizes your lips

My Valentine wish is to be able to buy a cute day dress or frock like this one.

Well, before I close, I want to leave you all with a...

LOVE LETTER

Naploeon Bonaparte was known for writing amazing letters to his beloved Josephine
here is one from 1795:

"I wake filled with thoughts of you. Your portrait and the intoxicating evening which we spent yesterday have left my senses in turmoil.

Sweet incomparable Josephine, what a strange effect you have on my heart!
Are you angry?
Do I see you looking sad? Are you worried? ...
My soul aches with sorrow, and there can be no rest for your lover; but is there still more in store for me when, yielding to the profound feelings which overwhelm me, I draw from your lips, from your heart a love which consumes me with fire? Ah! it was last night that I fully realized how false an image of you your portrait gives!
You are leaving at noon; I shall see you in three hours.
Until then, mio dolce amor, a thousand kisses; but give me none in return, for they set my blood on fire."

HOPE YOU ENJOYED READERS
until next week
aurevoir!

Black & White

Just yesterday was my last chance to attend my school's "Black and White" dance. And you know what? I didn't go. I do not say this readers so that you will be sorry for me. As a matter of fact, it was by choice that I did not go. True, I am a senior, but I had gone to the dance last year. It was definitely one of the most memorable dances I had gone to, and I would not have exchanged that memory for anything, and I wanted to keep it that way. So that when I refer back to that dance I will always have a warm nostalgia when I think of it.

Now you must be thinking what did I do instead of the dance? Well, I ventured to the mall with a friend-on a very very rainy day! She and I took picture after picture (with her digital camera) of ourselves modeling in stores like Anthropologie and Macy's Furniture Store. Then, we decided to go about the mall speaking in English accents. And if anyone would want to ask why we were speaking like Brits I would just say "why not?"
