Georgeous Ring I love!



I bought this ring about a month ago but I still am so inlove with it. I wear it all the time and it only cost me $5!! Purchased at Street Smart in Kearny NJ



Here is my daughter modeling it.. so adorable..

80 Pocket Jewelry Storage

I love Jewelry and buy so  much whether it's from forever 21, amiclubwear, electriqueboutique or my local favorite boutique streetsmart. This has been one of the easiest and most convenient ways of storing my jewelry.  I have one of 36 pockets but of course I ran out of space for all my new purchases. So i just ordered a new one which is this one shown here. It has 80 pockets which is amazing because then I will be able to put one pair of earings or a few rings in each pocket. Will take pictures when I receive it and I organize my jewelry in it. 

Victoria's Secret

So I went to Victoria's Secret and purchased my favorite perfume ever.. yea I know it's been around but nothing beats this.  Very Sexy perfume now has a new square bottle but the fragrance is the same. It's "a sultry  blend of sensual vanilla orchid, sparkling clementine, and juicy blackberry"... yum =-)

I purchased the gift set because for $8 more I got a mini perfume along with the body wash and lotion.  As you can see I also purchased the victoria's secret conditioners. 
The first bottle is glossing conditioner the second is volumizing and the third is nourishing conditioner for dry or damaged hair. I can't mention enough how amazing these conditioners are. I do not like the shampoos much because they leave alot of residue but the conditioners are amazing they detangle your hair instantly and leave your hair soft and smooth. Not to mention the great scent they have that stays.

I just had to blog about some of my favorite products that I got so excited purchasing. I also want to share that Victoria's Secret is having a really cute free gift with your purchase.

Chegg.com College textbooks for rent!



New semester is here and it's crazy how expensive books are. for all you college students who are looking for ways of getting your books without throwing out so much cash there is a way. Other than purchasing books at half.com you can rent books. CHegg.com is a great site to do this, site actually plants a tree for every book you rent, buy or sell which is really cool because it is ecofriendly. here is the link:



CherryCulture.com



Recently purchased a few products from Cherryculture.com. NYX products great. I absolutely love them because they are not too pricey but great quality. one of my favorite products is the NYX. I have the NYX lipstick in the Harmonica shade. It is a beautiful color smooth and lasts a while. It is on sale for $1.75 this is the third time I am purchasing it. It's great to wear under lipgloss. I usually line my lips with the NYX lip liner in Natural. 


This other product that I purchased for the first time, is the Super Volume Lip Plumper. I wanted to try it for fun since many times the product tingles but no other effect. This lip plumper actually worked I was amazed with it because after it tingled I actually saw the difference. Next time I use it I will put up a picture.  


I purchased some NYX eyeshadows as well I love these because they have great pigmentation and they are great price for the quality. The colors are exquisit. Love love love!

Made some new purchases I am waiting on: MAC liptint, and eyeslipsface.com haul. I also purchased some super sexy boots at amniclubwear I have been wearing adore. will put up reviews another time on those items.

Urban Decay Alice In Wonderland Palette



I absolutely love Urban Decay Palettes. I am so excited with the upcoming release of the Alice In Wonderland Palette. The palette will be available for purchase January 15, 2010. Still no news about the price, but I will definitely purchase this and have a review about this product.


The Unemployed College Graduate


Recession or not you would think that after so much sacrifice in studying and student loans you would find stability in the workforce. It's kind of scary when you think about it. As a college graduate with a B.A. I am still not able to find a job... how low are the hopes of others who probably only made it to high school. Either way sometimes it seems that education is overrated opposed to luck and networking. The unemployment rate in New Jersey is still high at 9.7% as of December 16, 2009 (www.nj.com). New extension was passed but what happens after that? High hopes to have a rapidly improving economy this year.
