Summer Drink Series: Southern Porch Sipper

Summer Drink Series: Southern Porch Sipper

[ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] I’m a southern girl at heart. I love big yards, large porches, and sweet tea. Now that I’m up north there’s absolutely none of that unless we move way out into the burbs and build our own dream home.  Some days I like to pretend that I’m at my dream home. So I  sit on my small back porch and sip a cocktail while watching the lightning bugs glow.

The Emotions of a Beauty Addict Waiting for an Online Beauty Launch

These are the emotions of a Beauty Addict.. or should I say myself as I wait for a online collection release or sale. This has also been me so many times as I’ve sat in virtual waiting rooms that are almost done exclusively by MAC Cosmetics. Just sitting at my computer being a slave to that launch is the worst! I can’t move, I can’t refresh my screen, and I don’t even want to move the mouse. I just have to sit patiently and wait my turn in line for ordering products. It’s almost equivalent to a new shoe launch,…
