Vacation

Just a note to say that I will be on vacation in Buenos Aires for the next week and a half. I'm so excited!;)

Other random thoughts - Is Beyonce as fake as she seems? Why does Rihanna have fire-engine red hair? Why are the Kardashians famous? What job has Paris Hilton ever held? Why is Prince William balding prematurely? Why are energy-saving items pricey? Is Kanye West on drugs? Will JayZ release a new album? Are Eva andTony Parker really parting ways and why? Why is couture not street-wearable? Will Lady Gaga ever wear a tee with jeans minus armadillo boots? Why? Why? Why???

Any random thoughts on your end?

MAC rocks! Le Bec-Fin too!

For 2 years, I refused to accept that my favorite lipgloss from MAC, 'She-Boom' had been discontinued. I bought several tubes from the outlet cosmetic store 'The Cosmetic Company' even after I couldnt find it on mainstream retail counters. She-Boom Lipgelee was from the limited C-Shock collection, a hot pink-magenta tube that would scare any woman but attract any girl. Moisturizing, satin-like and a soft, light pink on the lips, I could use it comfortably in all seasons, from winter to summer. Ah, how I miss you, She-boom!Anyway, I just discovered what may become my next 'Best Lip' treatment. Its MAC Cremesheen 'Hang Up' lipstick. I had gone in to try the new MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme but stumbled upon the Cremesheen which so far, I like. 'Hang Up' looks dark brown in the tube but actually glides on as a soft, red-brown-plum, light-enough-for-day color. Hopefully, this works out well for me, I liked it in-store.

On a different note, hubby and I planned to go to the famous 'Le Bec-Fin' in Center City, Philadelphia last Monday. We eventually cancelled the reservation but we do plan to have dinner there soon. This French restaurant has been in Philadelphia for 40 years, and unfortunately, will be closing its doors soon (I dont know exactly when, but might be this year). For the months of October and November, the restaurant will host a weekday 4-course, $40 dinner between 5 and 6pm, to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Definitely a spot to try, not only before they close, but also with this dinner deal. Otherwise, be prepared to pay hundreds for dinner at Le Bec-Fin!
