Simply Skincare ...

When I was employed with Benefit Cosmetics...
I resorted to a skincare regime of, Honey snap out of it Scrub, Dear John, and Eyeyecon...

It was not a bad regime...

 but...

 after working for a company like Shiseido...
and selling AMAZING skincare products like Future Solutions...
(This moisturizer retails for $260!!!)

I became EXTREMELY picky about what I put on my face...

Benefit recently launched this...

b.right! Radiant Skincare...

Intrigued???

INSTANTLY!!!

Who doesn't want to be radiant!
(I am a sucker for great marketing!)

I called a local Beni - babe today to get the scoop...

she said...

"I think it was like, made by a top scientist form like Chanel or like Shiseido!"

I said...

"Big difference...I need to know!"

She still couldn't give me an anwser...
Lack of product knowledge???

I am going to give it a whirl...

Right now they have this cute little trial size set for only $12!
Worth a try for such a small fee...

Ok Just for fun...

My FAVORITE Benefit Products (there may be some oldies):

• Bad Gal Waterproof liner
• Something about Sophia - Perfume
• Tweezerman eyelash curler
• BROW ZINGS!  I do not leave home without it...
• BABE CAKES ... my ABSOLUTE favorite go to... it is now disc.!!!  :(
• Creaseless cream shadow - Stiletto - Skinny Jeans - Birthday Suit (better than MAC Paint Pods, they do not crease)
• Box o' Powders - Hoola (also great in the crease) - Dallas - Coralista (better than Orgasm from Nars)
•  OOh La Lift ... BLT... Brightener, Lightener, Tightener
• That Gal!!!
• Erase Paste!  Instant under eye brightener and concealer..
• OMG!!!  High Brow!!!  Amazing...

The End

I don't know if Maxwell was scared

 or

happy in this picure...

..This is the monster that scared Maxwell...

when he stuck out his tongue... I swear,

 Maxwell would have jumped out of his skin if he could!

As you can see, no pic of Maxwell with the alien...

I had to get this picture off the internet for memory purposes...

...

transformer???

lego???

but we had to get a pic with Maxwell next to it...

Maxwell said...

 " He good green monster, right mommy!".

$10 for a picture with Honky Tonk Man...

worth it!

$35 for a picture with Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk)...

not woth it...

...so, Marcus took this...

We love you Lou, but $35 is a bit too much $$$!

Good Bye, Wondercon 2011

See you next year!

Had a great time!  Thanks cousin Dave for letting us stay with you, and showing us the way around town!  Can't wait to go again in May!  Possibly the Thor movie... and of course wrestling...

This My two-year-old Son Maxwell...

Maxwell is obsessed with Marvel Comic Characters...

As you can probably tell.

Spiderman is his first love...

Ironamn is his close second.

In this picture he is wearing his Spiderman Costume (this was well after Halloween)...

He is laying on his Spiderman bed...

with Ironman in his hand.

EVERY day Maxwell has to wear something with a SUPERHERO...

He has Shirts,

jackets,

sweatshirts,

underwear,

jammies,

wallets,

shoes...

I have to tell him that his jeans have Spidey webs on them for him to wear them...

We must own over 20 Spiderman figures...

and probably at least a dozen Ironman...

This was taken on Christmas on our way to Grandma's.

He wanted to be...

Zombie Spiderman for Halloween...

Marcus' friend Tony gave this poster to Maxwell...

One day after his bath he said...

"Daddy's friend Tony, Tony Stark gave that to me!"

This Saturday we are going to Wondercon in SF!

I can't wait to see his face!

Early Birthday Planning...

Ok so, Maxwell's 3rd birthday is September 11th...

To some this is early,

but I am SO busy at work that time of year that I don't have ANY time for a last minute party...

SOOO last year was baseball theme...

I am not a professional...

OBVIOUSLY!

LOL!

But I LOVE decorating cakes with fondant.

This year will be a superhero birthday...

My Maxwell has an obsession with Superheroes!

This is the attempt for this year...

A few modifications of course...

I have been SO inspired by all of the wonderful BLOGS out there!

Next craft... felt masks and capes for party favors...

Wordless Wednesday...not so much!

Ok, so this is my 82 year old grandma Theresa Kiyoko...

She is a 4'6" darling little Japanese woman...

Cute, isn't she!

This is her first time listening to music on an iPod!

My grandma,

when I was a little girl,

taught me ALL the girlie stuff!

She gave me a book called ...

"Glorify Yourself"...

It was a beauty book on everything ...

including keep a makeup kit under your bed...

wake up BEFORE your husband..

put on a fresh face of make up...

so that you ALWAYS look beautiful for him!

(I do not do this)

I believe this book was written by a man..LOL!

The book is worth browsing through...

but should not be taken seriously...

haha!

Anyways... my grandma also introduced me to "her" music...

taught me the two - step...

payed for all my dance and instramental lessons...

bought me a belly chain (in the early 90's)...

Oh, she even bought herself a belly chain...

to wear for my grandpa (not joking!)

bought me New Kids On The Block casette tapes...

(also in the 90's)

I hope for many more wonderful times with her...

Thanks grandma for everything! :)

xoxo
