Review on Balenciaga City handbag

Here is a video of a review on my Balenciaga City bag in the color Papyrus. If you have any questions on it let me know!

Loving Kyle Richards (RHBH) earrings!

Much to the chagrin of my hubby I love to watch The Real Housewives of Wherever.

I actually watch it more for humor and studying the clothes and accessories than for the social aspect. Kyle Richards from this season’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Makeup storage

Here are some pictures of my vanity/makeup table and how I store my makeup.

I spent a few weeks looking high and low for my dream makeup table and I finally found it.

It’s from Pier 1 and came as a set with the bench. I can sit there all day (especially because it’s in my walk in closet lol) I just love it!

My makeup is basically kept in a acrylic holder I got many years ago. My brushes are separated in glass jars. One is for facial brushes and one for eyes and smaller brushes. They are held

Brand named makeup brushes are over-rated

They say “You get what you pay for”. My opinion is sometimes.

Generally, yes, if something is more expensive you can and should expect better quality.

My experience though with makeup brushes is that it’s not quite that clear cut.

I have brushes from a range of companies: MAC, Sonia Kashuk, Sigma, CVS no name brand, E.L.F and NYX.

I find they pretty much all do what they are intended to do. I purchase brushes based on the size and shape of the head with a specific purpose in mind.

Will I visit the zoo again?

My 3 year old asked me recently when we will visit the zoo again.

I told her one day soon but internally I am unsure as to what my feelings are about zoos, aquariums, circuses and the like.

On the one hand they provide education up close and personal of animals people would never otherwise have a chance to encounter. It is fascinating to see them live, and not just on TV. You realize their enormity and beauty among other interesting aspects.

What causes me to hesitate in the wondrous world of these places are the very real horrors that go on behind the scenes, at least in some of these places, I assume.
