My adventurous side...a little hot pink!

beats:: pretty girl rock - keri hilson (i'm obsessed!)

fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my boots...sooo love!

Tonight my cuz and I went out for our usual happy hour, but instead of the usual wine, we had specialty coffees and shared an appy of chicken strips at The Keg Thurlow.  I love The Keg--seriously the food is just uber delish! You will not regret what you order because all their food is to die for!

Before going out, I had abit of time to spend on my make-up and I decided to be adventurous and use my hot pink eyeshadow once again.  I loved the last few times I used my eyeshadow but wanted to try it out at home before using it again, but I couldn't resist.  Being that it's a new year, I felt abit more confident to try once again!



I must admit,, I am quite happy with the results.  It's not perfect, but I love the outcome!

Happy hour for us is not to drink our asses off, it's being able to unwind, enjoy each other's company and to socialize. 

Specialty coffees, she ordered bailey's express and I ordered B-52.  They warm us up and are super yummy! We also ordered chicken strips--which did nothing for my resoultion, but hey it's happy hour! lol.

I am soo obsessed with their curry mayo dip for the chicken strips.  It is the yummiest dip i've had ever!!! There is no other place that will compare.  We had an awesome time chatting up a storm, and after finishing up, we went to the bathroom before leaving the restaurant, and besides using the facilities, were able to do a quickie photo-op! lol.

As always, it was a good night...except for the momentary scare of having an SUV undercover cop cut us off and us thinking it was trying to stop us lol.

Resolutions 2011

I realize that with me usually blogging about fashion and anything closely related, this is a completely different subject, but I figure, my resolutions are part of my life and improving it, just like fashion and beauty.

So it's a brand new year, and with that comes a new resolve to better one's self through resolutions.  I have been thinking long and hard about my own resolutions and how I can improve my life this year from last and learn from the mistakes, only taking the lessons I learned from last year.

I found that when making resolutions, being realistic is the key but also to aim abit higher to push one's self.  I am always one for improving myself and even though my stubbornness often gets in the way of self-improvement I eventually give in and at least try. 

I made up my mind that this year, I will only focus on 5 resolutions to try and keep it simple and myself focused.

My 5 Resolutions:

1) Exercise and get myself in shape and toned.

2) Learn 3 new things this year (ie: driving!? haha)

3) Be more positive - self love rather than self-loathe

4) Learn to manage my money better (and SAVE!!!)

5) Try to be more independent

I realize that one can always improve more regardless of whether or not one has resolutions to keep in mind.  There will always be room for lessons, improvement and learning new things.  I will keep these 5 in mind throughout the year, but will remember that aside from these, I will be aware of other things I can take in to make 2011 a better year than last year.

I am hoping for a great year! =)

2011 Resolution: confidence is key!

beats:: Pretty Girl Rock - Keri Hilson

OOTD:: bleh, I am sooo not work-appropriate today, it's embarrassing! lol

fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my all-weather boots =)

Mad cause I'm cuter than the girl that's witcha
I can talk about it cause I know that I'm pretty
And if you know it too then ladies sing it with me

All eyes on me when I walk in,
No question that this girl's a 10
Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful

-Keri Hilson: Pretty Girl Rock (from the album, 'No boys allowed)

I have adopted this song as my official anthem for one of my resolutions for the New Year:

Try not to wallow in self-loathing; be confident, self-loving and positive about one's self!

From the  moment I heard this song, I loved it! It is just Keri Hilson at the top of her game, confident and self-loving.  When you first hear it, it sounds kinda conceited, but really it's just a great anthem to rock to for girls!

I am sooo lovin it!
