Question of the Week: – What is your most beloved makeup item in your collection, and if someone offered you $100 for it would you sell it to them?

Answer: Possibly my MAC Sinful Serpent nail polish which I got when it came out in the 90′s. I would probably sell for $100 though, nothing I have is worth more than that!

We all have to wake up at some point during the day.

Or maybe not?

Ok most of us have to wake up and get “ready” at some point to go to work, or school or the grocery store. Or hell, just be able to look at yourself in the mirror without wanting to gag (maybe that’s just me).

During the work week I have to wake up at an ever-hellish 5:00 am. In case you were wondering, this doesn’t get any easier, even after 5 years of it. In the early darkness I stumble into the shower (after brushing the teeth), because that is the only thing that halfway wakes me up. Not to mention I am most definitely NOT one of those people who can just wake up with good hair.

This is what I look like when I wake up.

So things look a little different around here, huh?

I thought I would do a quick run down on some of the new features as well as where you can find things you may be looking for.

Let’s start with the logo. Click my logo and that basically is a “Home” button.

The top area of my site includes the standards: About, FAQ (check them out they may be useful), Advertising page and a Contact form.

Under my logo in the black bar is an area for some special features. Categories is the same as it was on my last site basically. Nail Gallery leads you to my new upgraded Nail Gallery (more on that soon). Spring 2012 is all posts marked with Spring 2012. When the seasons change, so will this feature. Giveaway is a special place where you can click to see any and all giveaways I have done or that are going on.

Across from that are buttons where you can subscribe to me via email, Facebook, Twitter and RSS feed. Next to that is a very solid search area. This whole area and everything above it is “static” meaning when you scroll down, the top of my site stays in place. I love that about it, makes it handy I think.

Under that area is my new scrolling header area! I love this part. This will just include different mini mastheads that will change out. There are currently five running. You can wait for it to change itself or click the arrows to go to the next one. Continue reading »

Question of the Week: – Do you have any makeup/beauty tricks for looking more awake?
