How cute are these?  Our co-worker, Bob was helping raise $ for his daughter's school's fundraiser and I had intended on gifting these for the holidays, but me thinkssss they're a keeper.  Adorable coasters made out of recycled paper = love!

A few of you asked how my recent vaca was, and thank you, it was perfect!  One thing that I did was get eyelash extensions.  (Which I promise to post a picture of soon, it's weird taking close-ups of my eyeballs.)  Before you run to get yours, keep in mind this is something you want to do your research on.  I went to a woman who came highly recommended by a friend.  She explained the entire process, which is painless, but it's entirely possible you might be allergic to the adhesive and/or materials used.  Everyone's different.

The process was interesting though.  120 individual lashes were adhered to my natural ones with a very strong bonding agent.  Your eyes are closed while they're being placed, but since that is the case, your bottom lashes need to be covered so that your eyes don't get glued shut.  As you can imagine, they take some time, so prepare to be lying there with your eyes closed for at least an hour.  (This is why I got this done on my vacation, lol!) 

Anyway, they say they shed along with your natural lashes, but I'm sure like anything you just need to pay attention to your body and what it's trying to tell you.  I do love not having to wear mascara and having my makeup ready-to-go 24/7, it saves me a step in the morning.

But like I said, do your own research and decide if this is something that's right for you. *I'll let you know if all my natural eyelashes fall out or anything crazy like that, haha.

Something else I'm loving right now:  (And no, I'm not endorsing this product... just happened to come across it in the store), Tarte's LipSurgence Lip Tint.  If you're torn between lipstick and gloss and have been afraid to try a stain... this is your move.  I'm digging these and all the pretty colors especially some of the matte ones right now.  Sorry for the dark picture. 

Anyway, that's it for now -- hope you're having a great week.
