{Beauty} Would you rather?

1.Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or Nice hair and no make-up?
Messy hair & nice makeup! I'd just do a messy bun and lots of mascara to draw the attention to my eyes.

2.Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?
Well, I LOVE my eyebrows so I would most definitely rather have my eyelashes fall out because I would just wear falsies til they grew back!

3.Would you rather be forced to shop at only MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
Sephora b/c they have lots of brands and lots of products..I could get makeup, brushes, perfumes, face & body washes and lotions..whereas at MAC I could only get makeup and brushes.

4.Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?
hmmm..80's perm cause I'd find a way to make it look cute! Lipliner is just not for me..

5.Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?
Well..I've been known to have an obvious foundation line which I have worked on and fixed through the years! I'd say overdone blush...flushed can look pretty!

6.Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
Biker shorts!

7.Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?
tan lines. No oompa-loompa for me. Been there-done that. not cute.

8.Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair color?
Bad color because you can re-color it..

9.Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away forever?
Twitter.

10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?
Brushes..I could manage without I'm sure!

{Food} Matt Romero's Eggplant Sandwiche

Two posts in 1 day? Now this is upsurd...!

I saw this in the latest issue of Real Simple Magazine. It looks delicious, and I thought I'd share it with you. I plan on making this for my mom & I very soon! (She appreciates good food, unlike my husband who would'nt mind eating a burger every.day.)

Serves 4
Hands-On Time: 30m
Total Time: 30m
Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 medium eggplant (1 to 1 1/2 pounds), cut into eight 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1/2 cup canola oil
kosher salt
4 leaves romaine lettuce, torn in half
2 medium beefsteak or other tomatoes (about 1 pound), sliced
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
Directions
Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip the eggplant slices in the flour, then in the eggs (letting any excess drip off), and finally in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to help them adhere.
Heat half the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half the eggplant until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Wipe out the skillet and repeat with the remaining oil and eggplant. Sprinkle the hot eggplant with ½ teaspoon salt.
Layer the eggplant, lettuce, tomatoes, basil, and goat cheese to form 4 "sandwiches," with the eggplant on the top and bottom of each stack.

{Fashion} My Fall Picks

Although it is still 90 degrees and humid out, some stores think its already fall! I can't help but thinking about all the pieces I want to try in the fall..so here are some of my picks..





Old Navy's Women's Cropped Twill Moto Jacket.
I've been looking for something with this style for forever. I would want to try it on in the store instead of buying online to ensure the fit.




Old Navy's Women's Cropped Rosette Cardigan
I love the versatility of this piece, it can be dressed up for work or thrown over a T-shirt w/ jeans for weekend shopping.





Old Navy's Women's The Diva Distressed Skinny Jeans
I love the combined style of distressed and skinny, you don't see them together often.

Those are a few staples I hope to add to my closet this fall. I also have some Anthropologie picks but I can't seem to be able to PIP those. As soon as I figure that out I'll be adding to this list!

What are your fall must haves?

{Life} Admitting that I'm not so good at something

Admitting that I'm not so good at this blogging thing, is..well..pathetic. I tried to keep up with it (and by tried I mean I haven't thought about it in weeks, lol) but apparently in my real life, I just really didn't have the time. Okay, I didn't make the time! From this point on I really, REALLY, am going to try to update this a few times a week, even if that means blogging from work (no shame in my game). I also want to start doing OOTD posts b/c thats what I REALLY love. I have a passion for fashion. I went to Lee, Mass 2 weekends ago to go outlet shopping. I got some great steals, including 10 tank tops from Gap and American Eagle that were all $7 or under! I also got some great jeans from American Eagle which I love, and was in desperate need for. I was going to add some pictures of the tanks I got but when I went to look them up, American Eagle is having their site worked on. Because of my inconvience I can now share a bargain with you. If you enter code 74936062 you get free shipping on ANYTHING (in the US) from now until July 25, 2010.

Moving right along to my weekend plans..tomorrow (Friday) I plan on going to the beach to lay out because my nice North Carolina tan is fading, so weather permitting, thats where I will be :). Saturday, being the *great* wife that I am, I am accompanying my husband to Mayhem Fest. And thats just what it will probably be, Mayhem. I shall probably take a picture of my OOTD for that event, that'll be a good one! I was thinking shorts and a tank top, we're in the middle of a heat wave people!

Anyways, as I end this entry, I make a promise to post more blogs, learn better grammar, and post some OOTD :)
