Finally a winner...Sort of

I finally finished my first book of 2013! Woooo yay snaps! Okay, now that's out of the way, let's talk about my accomplishment and who made it possible. The lucky winner was My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me: And Other Stories I Shouldn't Share With Acquaintances, Coworkers, Taxi Drivers, Assistants, Job Interviewers, Bikini Waxers, And Ex/Current Boyfriends but Have by Hilary Winston. Good golly that is a long ass title to type out.

So, I finished Hilary's book (there's no way I'm typing any of that out again) and it was okay. I'm not going to knock it too much because obviously she's got her crap together, because I'm sitting here writing a blog and she has a job where someone pays her to write. Hilary 1, Steph BIG 0. Anyways, it was just okay. She talked about her ex-boyfriend Kyle a lot. And "Kyle" if you ever read this you're a DICK! You deserve the inquisition, well no because you weren't that bad. Someone like Chris Brown deserves the rack not you Kyle.

My girl Hilary talks about her ex-boyfriend who wrote a book about her, where he refers to her as his "fat-assed girlfriend", like I said he's a dick. Pretty much the whole book is about Kyle and a few of her past relationships, but mostly focuses on Kyle. I will admit she had me laughing when she "broke" her vagina, and then had me crying when her diabetic cat Emmett was dying. I wish I could give more of a synopsis of this book, but really those 3 sentences are all I got.

I'm going to give this book 4 stars, just because she got me to cry and I don't cry at things other than sports (don't ask) and her broken vagina was amusing. And I found out that she writes for Happy Endings (best show on Earth, besides Pretty Little Liars!) and she was also a writer for My Name is Earl,which I watch religious at the gym. You entertained me Miss. Winston and that was the main purpose of this book.

I would also like to dedicate this post to her beloved cat Emmett Otter Winston, whom passed away in 2010. You are missed Emmett!

I Live a Glam Life...Kinda ~ November 2015 Birchbox!

This month I decied to do something a bit different and get the Guest Editor or Curated box. It helped a lot that the box was curated by one of my favorite YouTubers Tati Westbrook! She along with Emily Eddington ( Emilynoel83 ) and Melissa Autry ( Melmphs ) are gurus I consistently watch. And by consistently watch I mean every week! I trust Tati, so I knew I would love everything in her box! Avene Hydrance Optimale Hydrating Serum/ Full-size $36 This gentle, hypoallergenic hyrating serum plumps skin while promoting cellular regeneration. I was so excited to try this! Allure actually recommends this brand to girls like me with oily/blemish prone skin, so I couldn't wait to try! I agree taht its hydrating, so hydrating that I actually disn't feel the need to moisturize. Not a strong scent if any and just really great all around. I kinda litke it better than Shiseido Ultimune, which I just finished up. Final Grade: B+ Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo/ Ful...

Effortless Summer ~July 2016 Sephora Play~

We didn't get spoilers for this month's box until right before it shipped out. I'm not 100℅ sure of that reason, other than to torture us. The only clue we did have is possible spoilers and word that they were splitting up the boxes according to skin type (combo/oily, normal/dry). Knowing that I filled out my profile for oily skin and that even on my beauty insider profile (Sephora's rewards program) I'm listed as oily I didnt worry about which box I'd get. Until I checked my Play subscription and I got the normal/dry box. So yeah, here it goes... First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser (Full-size $20): This is something I've used before and currently own a full size of. This is a nice face wash. I like it during the winter to use after a workout. It removes my surface oils and dirt, but doesn't strip your skin. It's a bit like soap, so if you're not into facial soaps I would skip. I passed this sample along because I honestly didn't need it. ...

Memoir of the Sunday Brunch by Julia Pandl

Woo Woo 2014, a month late but hey I'm a busy girl. So I've tackled the first book of the new year and it was Julia Pandl's Memoir of the Sunday Brunch.   Pandl a stand-up comic originally from the Milwaukee area tells, personal family tales of her sweet, but often failed childhood memories. From being the youngest of nine to free child-slave labor at her father's restaurant. Told in two parts, the first of funny brunch serving, sibling squabbles, and a lot of twitching; The second of more recent memories of caring for someone who once cared for you. Photo Courtesy of Goodreads.com "I thought my dad was just like every other dad, until the day I worked my first Sunday Brunch" Be prepared for the second half of the book to shock you emotionally. It goes from a funny eye rolling recount of childhood, transitioning into being an adult child with rapidly aging parents. The second half was particularly heartwarming and sweet. Of course there's still som...
