Daddy's Girls Ep. 1...For Less?

New Beginnings...

okay, so the first episode of Vanessa and Angela's "Daddy's Girls" premiered tonight...i don't really know what to say about the show, i am liking it so far, but it's only the first episode it can go downhill pretty fast.

the series focuses on the girls' life in LA with their cousin jessica and neighbor alycia and of course it's not a simmon's show without rev. run. in this episode their cousin moves in with them and the girls deal with trying to get angela out of a "just got dumped by my boyfriend" rut. alycia sets her up on a blind date with a guy who is the total opposite of who she would normally date, but helps angela learn some new things about herself. i guess they had to come up with a way to end the show which looks like it will be one of the two typing a "progress report" to rev while he reads it aloud to justine...hhhmmm, don't know about that one...

idk if i'm going to do a "for less" with this show...maybe, maybe not, but it's still up in the air. i do know the heels angela wore on her blind date were FAB-U-LOUS! so, yea...still thinking about it and trying to get a feel for the show itself. so stick around and we'll see what happens next week...

Swimsuit Steals!

Looking Ahead towards Spring Break...

i know i said that i've been itching to shop for warmer weather and browsing different clothing sites DOES NOT help in controlling the urge to spend.

everyone knows victoria's secret (VS) is having their semi-annual sale and i usually wait to go in the stores until the final days when everything's marked down even more, but i visited the site out of curiosity and looked through the swimsuits they had on sale... they have different style basic tops and bottoms on sale for as low as $2.99! act now to get the colors you want in your size because i almost didn't get the color i wanted in both the top and bottom.

i paid $5.99 for the top and the same for the bottoms. i think that's a good deal, especially if you like to have more than one swimming suit. now i just have to make sure the body will be right when it's time to wear it!

Stay oh so Chic!

New Shoes & Early Spring/Summer Shopping!

Time for a Little Change...

so, i get my ipod this week, yay! but since i had to wait the bf ordered me some more blowfish shoes (which got sent to his mother's house, so i had to wait a little longer to get them) but he got me 2 pair of the hobbit sneakers: one in black and the other in a pretty blue...

the blue ones are definitely more of a springish type color and it already has me anticipating a wardrobe change. idk about you guys, but i get started early shopping for the next season. most sites usually have some decent sales going on for the next season. i've been recently looking at sunglasses.

i feel kind of cheated, because i found these incredible pair of betsey johnson sunglasses on macys.com on sale for $40 and they retail either $80 or $90. i held off purchasing them and thought they would still be there to purchase later, but they were gone! i can still find them on the net, but definitely not for $40, boo...

but, i will be picking up a couple of pairs of shades from alloy in a few colors of the sunglasses i previously owned before i broke them...they run for $10.50 and they now have a wider color selection...

super cute!
(comes in: gray, olive, plum, tortoise, turquoise, & white)

Book Spotlight! (Erotic City)

Erotic City by PYNK

i know i just did a book spotlight, but i did say that i brought 2 books...what can i say about this book? first off i must have had one of my a.d.d. moments, because this book wasn't what i thought it was. okay, so the title is "erotic city," but sometimes the title doesn't really mean literally. i usually read the back of the book before purchasing and i think i erased everything i read, but one sentence that made it seem like it wasn't a sex book...

"but now something threatens to close the club's doors forever: a calculating, ruthless enemy who will stop at nothing to destroy Milan's dreams..."

yea...you'd think it wasn't just a sex book too. i'm going to be fair in this review, because i almost took it back when i found out what it really was about, and i'm not a big fan of majority sex scene books (i like to get to the point of the story) but this arthur pynk is a very good writer and she gives very good, in your face details. if you're into the sex type books she'll give you every single visual detail and then some...this book focuses on a female owner of a swingers sex club, milan. i never really paid attention to or wanted to know much about th swinging society, nor do i know anyone who is a part of it...when i say this is a very EXPLICIT book, i mean it and then some. besides the sex, the actual story itself was a good one, but i think the average reader would get lost in the sex scenes and lifestyle of the swingers and lose what the book is really about. the message is mostly female sexual liberation, i can understand that, but if you're not into graphic sex scenes describing oral, anal, vaginal and/or orgy activities then this is DEFINITELY NOT the book for you. i picked this up at borders as well and it ran for 13.99...my personal opinion, spend it on something else if you're not into that type of book, or if you like that kind of thing go ahead and buy it...

--p.s. this is more hardcore than an eric jerome dickey or zane book...

Book Spotlight! (The Midnight Hour)

WELCOME TO 2009!

so i took advantage of going to borders while i was in chicago since there's only a barnes & noble by my school and i had a coupon (yay!) i picked up two books, but this one focuses on Brenda Jackson's book "The Midnight Hour" a part of her Madaris series.

this was surprisingly my first book out of the series. i thought i had read a couple of others from the series, but didn't see them in my book collection unless i overlooked them.

this book was intense with having you totally hooked from the beginning to the end. i'm a mystery solving fein, and even though this is not so much about mystery as it is drama, it still has a way of fulfilling that urge.

the story focuses on a couple who were torn a part in tragedy and death, to later be pulled back together 5 years later; one with a new face and identity. that's all i can give you without giving it away and that's hopefully enough to make you want to go out and buy it. i mean it's only $6.99!

i'm definately going to make a trip to my barnes and noble to pick up more books from this series.

Stay oh so Chic!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Let the Countdown Begin!

so this will be my final post of 08 after just 6 months doing this blog! this blog has grown so much from when i started and i look forward to major growth in the new year.

i love when a new year starts, because it's like starting new. i'm so ready for 08 to be over and for 09 to start, because i feel God has new and better things in store for me.

so because we're moving in to a new year, i had to start fresh with a new blog layout! i'm a libra and my life is all about balance. people who know me know that i stress this the most and my previous layout was not balanced at all. i felt cluttered and pushed to the right ( or left whichever way you look at it) side of the screen and felt like i was suffocating everytime i looked at it. so my new layout is well balanced allowing me not to have to put all my side posts on one side. sorry if you don't understand anything mentioned in this paragraph...it's a libra thing. or maybe just an eva thing...

as well with a new blog layout, my youtube and blog will be featuring new things in the new year. as for my blog, since youtube has been a complete jack, i will be posting blog only videos edited how i like with the music i want avoiding the possibility of my video either being pulled or not being able to be uploaded and my youtube will feature more personal videos so my subscribers get to better know who i am. i'm just feeling good about where i want to go and if somebody doesn't like it, they can get off or keep moving.

sadly, i will be spending my new years alone with my princess since i'm back at school and students are still on break and the bf has to go out of town for work. but oh well, i'm still going to have fun! i do have some things that i want to get done in the 09...

- i have 6 credit cards, but one i'm not paying someone else is, so really five and i want to pay off 3 of them by june, early july. i don't want to graduate with any credit card debt and will therefore only have student loans, boo!

- get a new car! nothing fancy or expensive, but something newer than what i have with not so many miles on it, because idk how much longer my little car is going to last. i have a 97 cavalier with over 150,000 miles on it and she's been acting up lately. my goal is a new car by the summer.

- get another job! the economy is kicking sears a** and i feel like they don't realize it! they keep pushing credit when people don't want it and they're cutting hours drastically. they must not realize people have rent and bills to pay, so i need another job before the new semester begins.

- right now i'm still saying i'm strecthing my relaxer, because i don't want to claim that i'm transitioning unles i'm going to do it all the way...i want to see my texture and see if i'll like working with it (i'm almost 9 weeks post) so far so good, but i'm stretching for the long run...09 means new hair regardless if it's relaxed or natural.

- SCHOOL, SCHOOL, SCHOOL! i love school, but i'm at my wits end. i want to pull my gpa up a little more before i get out (prayerfully in spring 2010) and do some things that i planned to do before gradution time rolls around.

those are just some major things i'm looking forward to for 09...

i'm definately going to do my last YT vid for 08, but it won't be in the post...you can check my video bar ALL the way at the bottom or my page later today...

with all of that being said, i hope everyone has a safe and wonderful new year's celebration and i'll see you (or read you) in the 09!



Stay oh so Chic into the New Year!

Christmas Recap!

i hope you guys had a WONDERFUL christmas! mine was lovely...

i couldn't leave for the chi until christmas eve because of work and the roads were HORRIBLE! if i wasn't in rain, i was in snow...but i get here safely and in one piece.

my fam met over my cousin's house for our first ever christmas eve dinner, because they wouldn't be able to make it to granny's for christmas. it was fun and nice to be around the fam after so many months...

FOTN

FOTN

outfit of the night

plaid shirt - $20 on sale @ macy's
latex leggings - $15 @ target
CL boots - $60 on sale @ macy's

as i stated in a previous post i only wanted 2 things for christmas, the ipod touch and the nikon s60 (ashton kutcher camera) my boyfriend is getting the ipod next week and my parents got me the camera. they got me a red kodak cam, because the one they wanted to get was sold out :( but she gave me the receipt and said i could go back and get the camera i wanted if it was in stock. so now i have a sony t77 which i absolutely LOVE!

i went to best buy and played around with the sony and nikon and the picture quality on the nikon wasn't as good as it should of been for a $300 camera and the sony, which cost the same but was on sale, had a much better quality. me needing a new camera was part of the reason why i haven't made any videos recently (which is a whole new post)

the camera is a touch screen as well and i guess i kind of fall into the brand loyalty category since my previous camera was a sony also.

i got my new cam today after multiple best buys sent me off about when their trucks were coming in and what was actually on it. i took this pic with the new cam...i wish you didn'[t have to buy the colored ones online...i couldn't give in to paying the shipping...

so that was my christmas guys! i supposed to go back to the dale tomorrow so pray for safe travel mercies! hope you all had a blessed and wonderful christmas and lets get ready for the new year!

Stay oh so Chic!

I Want to be...Downtown! & Hauling for Hair Care

so i made a quick hair run because i needed to pick up a few things before my wash day tomorrow. i went to this vitamin outlet around the corner from my apartment, it was actully smaller than it apeared to be from the outside. i mainly wanted to look at the pricing to see if they would be cheaper than gnc or walmart. i'm going to my parents house for a few days (christmas, yay!) so i plan to do some heavy shopping. i might just get vitamins when i go there. my school is in the country, so there's not that many options available for shopping, so waiting until i visit them means i get to go downtown!

i know, totally off of hair and vitamins, but i am SO NOT a country, spaced out living type of girl. i lived 20 minutes from downtown chicago and loved it...shopping, restaurants and did i say shopping. i also just liked to hop on the train in the morning during the summer and spend ALL DAY downtown going from store to store and returning BROKE! but yea, i can't wait...

but back to what this post is really about...i did pick up some extra virgin coconut oil from there for $11. i then headed to sally's and picked up a full bottle of the aphogee two min reconstructurer. i finished the lil pack and loved the results after the second use, so i got a bottle since it was on sale. i also wanted to try the silk elements moisture treatment deep conditioner. i use the ors replenish conditioner or pak and love it, but heard good things about the silk elements so i brought two packs of that. it usually takes me about two uses to see if i really like something.

so that's what i hauled for my hair today. going back to the chi also means my beauty supply stores!! i have been out of my cream of nature original formula shampoo since august and they only have the new formula down here, but i know just where to go when i get back to pick up a couple of bottles of the good stuff :P and i also get to buy some more nyx stuff. i hate shopping online when i know i can get to it in person. plus i get to shop, shop, shop! i know, i've been talking about shopping a lot in this post, but when you go to a school that doesn't have a lot of good stores around it and everyone shops at the SAME place, you HAVE to shop online. i'm sorry, but i'm original and i refuse to be limited to the same overly purchased clothing everyone else buys so we can all look like we're related or "twins", but we're not...

but yep, hope the weekend's going good and you're feeling the holiday spirit. i have to work the close shift again tonight. we close at 11, boo, but yep!

Stay oh so Chic!

MUAH!
