MAC Cosmetics...Primer and must haves

For those of you who have never experienced the magic of MAC, I'll start with a quick primer.
#1 must have : Lip Glass in Nymphette or Viva La Glam V to be worn with a nude liner or the MAC Spice liner pencil. I prefer the pencil, even though you have to sharpen it

#2 must have: Bronzing ; trust the sales person for your color



#3 Splurge on 3 eyeshadows: The richness of the shades, the way you can build and layer the color, totally worth the $$$; my new personal fav Gleam.. a midtone shadow for that total shimmer look. I could eat it, its so yummy!!! Whether you want matte or shimmer there is a marked improvement from the drug store brands



#4 Blush: these also layer and build well to achieve a more dramatic look My personal fav at the moment is FAB from the Barbie collection .. it is sheer but works well with bronzer..



#5 Eyelashes: for a special occasion ..SPLURGE.. they will apply them for you. This will totally change your face and mood, making you feel like a movie star




If you go for a make over it can be quite overwhelming, let the artist know your budget. Tell them your personal style, but dont be afraid to experiment with a new look. Start with the Lip Glass. The products are of such high quality and are surprisingly affordable you will be an instant fan.

Michael Dare Evans is 37!!!

He was 17 when I met him. I can not believe how fast time is passing by.

He is pretty cool for an old fart. He rocks smoking hot riffs on his electric guitar, he games, watches cartoons, plays in the woods...

Seriously, he is the epitome of what all people should strive to be. Responsible, loving, hilarious, calm, self-less, humble. I love him so much.

This photo, I think, captures the essence of his maturity...

Hey Its Ridgley 35th birthday too!!!!! And my long lost friend Frank Hurley, whom I miss so badly.

Happy Birthday B*tches

Cant stop watching court tv....someone help me...please

This hearing about Anna Nicole Smith's burial and who gets the rights to her body is insane.
If I am not watching, I'm listening on the XM in the car.
I am probably the only one who feels any empathy for Howard Stern..but I do. I dont think he hung around just for the money. The "character" who gives me the creeps is her mother. Please!
I am am obviously not well because I could not pull myself away from this debaucle for the last 2 days.
Snap out of it!!!

**Positive energy to Ridgley... Her surgery went well, but she feels awful. I hope she recovers quickly.

Shields' on Dads 60th Birthday!!!!!

Shields Family!

These were taken on my Dad's 60th birthday. He looks good, huh?
I love love love the pic of me Kate and Sarah!

Just one of many new projects..

We have been busy finishing random projects around the house.
We have done a little something to every room. My scrap space got quite an overhaul. I am very excited about it.


Pictured is our guest room, which I rearranged and "pimped". These canvases are my answer to not buying artwork. I painted them to tie in the bed spread. Such an easy project to add color to any room.
A FEW RANDOM UPDATES
*I got a pretty major hair cut!
*My Dad just turned 60!
*Mike and I are going to ARUBA, March 10-15th.
