Favorite Things of May

For our anniversary Chris bought be a stunning purple phalenopsis orchid. I have had NO luck with keeping any orchid alive in the house for more than say a week. However, I am determined this time to make it work! So far, the key is light sun, and temperatures no higher than ~85 degrees. They seem to REALLY do poorly in direct light and in warmer temps. Go figure.
I purchased this maxi dress on-line somewhat by a fluke. The intern I was working with had given me a code for 40% off at Oldnavy.com so I ordered this dress. It did not dissapoint. What with the super soft cotton and the floor length, it's a slam dunk to slip into after a long day of work. Trouble is....they are sold out on-line and in stores now. Thank goodness for eBay, I now have 3 of them ;)


Oh the joys of makeup. I *finally* got to pick Kristi's brain about makeup. We have had several 'get-ready' sessions in which she has helped me with application and color matching. She was generous enough to let me try some of her pigments. Meet Ruby Red. These are (as Kristi would say) PHENOMENAL and SO, SO, SO FUN!



Once Kristi got me rolling I decided.....I couldn't pull off all the combinations I wanted without....

MORE COLOR

This palette is insane. 120 colors and cost a mere $20 and the makeup is decent! Evenings at home alone are now makeup practice sessions, often doing one eye in one look and the other totally different just to practice!

Holy massive palletes of color! Looks like we need a sleep over so we can play with make-up!!

P.S. Me thinks the lovely dress will be super for a sunset stroll on a Hawaiian Beach :-)

OOOOH!!! Fun makeups!! :)

My Sacramento orchids always did well in a bathroom with a small window. Just enough indirect light and they loved the humidity.
