The weekend brought many fun things to my doorstep. For one thing, we got to spend it with my favorite niece and nephew ever. We tanked them out with fun times and then fed them til they were stuffed. When my kids fell asleep in the car on the way home, I thought they were just worn out from the excitement. Sadly, no. They had succumbed to a yucky virus. My son recovered by Monday morning but my daughter is still under the weather. Two doctor’s visits later, she’s still not well but at least she’s not sleeping 24/7 like she was. The poor thing said to me this morning, “Mom, I think the dog is wheezing!” Misery loves company, right? I’ve been tiptoeing around the house trying not to wake her up. It’s not like her to sleep during the day, ever, so her body must really need the sleep. In keeping myself occupied during her naps, I’ve finished a couple of good books and got my nails painted!

Trying to cheer up my daughter, I told her about the new fashion trend called The Tuck. I laughed out loud when I read it about it in Allure as they applauded the look at Tory Burch’s fashion show. Seriously? This is an official hairstyle now? I’ve been doing this out of laziness since high school. Wow! I’m a fashion visionary!! The Tuck bothers me, though, because the hair itches my neck. When I see it on someone else, I want to go pull their hair out of the collar for them. My daughter cracked a smile, her first in days.

Then she saw my gold nails. “Mom. Why are your nails golden?” she asked. Harumph. So much for trying to be stylish. Telling her that I got it in my BeautyBox5 wasn’t a good enough excuse. She’s right, the color is all wrong with my yellow skintone. Someone with really dark skin could so pull this off.  I would have liked a pink shade, or maybe even red, for fall.   My favorite product in the September box was the Nicka K Eye Light Crayon.  I thought I’d use it just as a liner but ended up liking it as an allover shadow.  The color is vibrant without being too Katy Perry-ish.  It complemented my Urban Decay ecstasy shadow (from the Feminine palette) almost perfectly.  I finished up with my Motives mascara and was good to go!  The box also included a 3-in-1 eye brightener, toe separators for a pedi, and shampoo/conditioners samples.  BeautyBox5 makes a great gift -sign up now and you can get some cool savings!  I also saw a B1G1 deal on lip glosses, which is awesome for stocking stuffers.
