Meltdown Sunday…..and then back to the regularly scheduled program: Debrief and new makeup basket!

This week was incredibly challenging for me. First full week at a new job and some other ‘daily’ struggles:

Since starting dance classes almost a month ago at Danceology and being a monthly ttc pass holder, I have had the opportunity to explore Liberty Village.

Lash out-my experience at Chic Lash Lounge and Academy

**After reading this post, please visit my 2nd post : http://www.ettuandyou.com/2011/06/22/chic-lash-part-deux-redemption/  I have been going to CHIC LASH for 2 months with PHENOMENAL results and you need to know that they really made things right with me!**

Scent-sensitive? Or raising a stink?

Being a woman affords me many beauty-related priviledges.  One of which I take to heart is my perfume wearing.  As you may know I absolutely adore fragrance! I write about it often even here…..
