I decided that I am not going to stop with the product reviews until every sample in my makeup drawer is gone. Well I am saving some of under eye creams for after the baby! I decided to stay with the organic products and try out an antioxidant serum. These serums are supposed to repair collagen damage and help sun damaged skin. Antioxidants can also enhance your sunscreen protection. These products can really change the appearance of your skin over time. (I had to look all of this up since I had no idea what an antioxidant serum was supposed to do so I thought I would pass the wealth of knowledge along to you all.

I am trying out some different skin care samples that I received from buying a crapload of stuff from Sephora. I am hoping that something will help with these random pregnancy breakouts. I went to have a relaxing facial last week and apparently some of my pores are “congested”. Can’t you take Sudafed for that? Anyway, I just wanted an hour in a dark room with someone rubbing my migraine-riddled head and massaging tiny circles on my face….I really could have cared less about all of the organic treatments, super masks, and scents to de-stress my skin. In case you were wondering, I apaarently have ocean inspired skin; which was discovered after inhaling deep breaths of various scents – it was a bit of a wierd ritual but I digress.

I want the newest, hottest shoes out there…just one spectacular pair that I can rock for a few more months before the swollen feet take over. I need to feel pretty right now amidst the puke and overall feeling of disgust that I see when I look in the mirror. I want to go all out and I am searching all the major department store’s newest arrivals. My favorite thus far is Bloomingdale’s…they have a killer selection right now. Let me know what you think!

I was so excited to get pregnant. I had visions of cute peasant style dresses filled with a round belly and skinny ass. I believed that flats were only for sissy pregnant women – myself being a professional, would still be wearing three inch high wedges to complete the aforementioned bohemian look. I saw myself without makeup looking like a dewy faced goddess from the Noxema commercials crowned by Pantene inspired bouncing curls. I would be a vision, a woman with child exuding the miracle of life.

Oh but in reality my pregnancy has been oh so much sweeter. Revel with me in my favorite things about being knocked up thus far:

I went to see The Hangover this weekend and I must say it was a pretty funny movie. It was definitely a bit raunchy but still amusing to say the least. There is one scene when the evil, crow-bar wielding, tiny nemesis steps out of the car in long white pants and black boots. Seeing this fashion statement made me think, “Should you ever wear black shoes with long white pants?” I have done this several times, pairing cute white pants white black sandals or stilettos but it always looked good…I think. Anyway, I think there should be a new cardinal rule of fashion – no black boots with white pants ever.

The newest shoe arrivals at Nordstrom have me smiling, laughing and crying all at the same time. There are some beautiful shoes that I would love to have and most of them are at pretty decent prices but unfortunately a few designers have once again missed the mark….and missed it big time!!

While I was home, I did manage one super quick shopping trip on my way to the airport. No one would have thought that in those thirty minutes I could fall in love, but I did. I was making my way through the handbag department when I noticed a tremendous sale. I got caught up in the slashed prices and almost bought a pink (I hate pink) Kate Spade bag just because I could get an additional 20% off, but then out of the corner of my eye I saw IT. There was a white aura with silver flecks glistening in the fluorescent lighting as the smell of leather wafted in the air. I walked towards the bag in a daze, at this point I couldn’t have turned away even if I wanted to and then I touched it only to feel the softest leather ever…I had to hold back the tears of joy.

I couldn’t wait to give you all my big announcement. Well it’s official ….my husband and I are expecting our first child later this year!! I was waiting to announce it on here since I wanted to make sure things were going well and today I had my first ultrasound. (I have been wanting to tell you all for sometime now since I have been feeling terrible for the last five weeks, hence the reason I have been such a slacker, but surprisingly I kept it all to myself!!) Today, we got to see the little cutie and he/she was posing for the camera big time. Shaking its arms and legs, this baby looked like a dancing queen.

Wow – I feel like it has been forever since I have had a moment to just sit down and post. You all know that I lost my grandfather last week and since then things have been in a whirlwind. So basically two Sundays ago I woke up to horrible news, got on a plane, and went straight to the hospital. I was in his hospital room the entire day and thankfully my family decided to keep him on life support until I got there. I had so much peace in getting to hold his hand and tell him goodbye…as he took his last breaths it was just like watching him fall asleep and I knew that he would never be in any pain again. Then I went through three days of sitting with my family, wakes, and funerals and it was great to be able to support my family.

I wanted to let you all know that I have been unable to post this last week because I lost my grandfather last Sunday night. I have been at home with my family and really haven’t had much time to think, much less post. I am planning to get back to work on Monday but I wanted to let you all know that I haven’t abandoned the blog….I have just been taking some time to grieve. Thank you all for your understanding.
