Statement of Purpose

no matter how good she looks someone somewhere is tired of her shitFor Me,

Because you probably didn’t see that coming…
So this is what I am doing for Labor Day!!!

I have been really into statement pieces as of late. And by as of late I mean within the last year. And by statement pieces I mean things that have an actual statement on them… I thought this new obsession was restricted to t-shirts, sweatshirts, a coffee mug maybe… and perhaps a bathing suit. That is about all I was expecting. So, you can imagine my delight when I stumbled upon these little treasures to express my thoughts and my love of all things beauty related.

Celebrate Yourself Night in 15 Minutes

Celebrate Yourself Night

Because we all feel like Shawn Carter…
So Celebrate Yourself Night!!!

Everybody has days where they feel like Shawn Carter… Marcie knows it all too well, but do you know what I mean? Like when you know you’re on the brink of something great. It won’t be much longer before you aren’t Shawn from Bed-Stuy anymore, you’re going to be mother fuckin JAY-Z… Since it’s a “Hard Knock Life”, anytime you make it in this world or even come close to making it in this world you deserve to be celebrated. “Can I Get A…”

Summer Magic Skin

Summer Magic Skin 1

For Summer Wizards,

Because I let you in on the secret once…

So why not go all the way!!!

A while back you may remember that I disclosed my love of wizardry… and if not, well it is probably better that way. Read it or the short of it is I like wizards, specifically wizards who work with potions. I Hermione my ass together a variety of products as potions. Always have. Always will. Again, do with that what you will. As it was brought to my attention through various facebook posts (this gives you an idea of who some of my friends on FB are…) that Harry Potter, the wizard of all wizards, turns 33 today, I felt it only appropriate to put up a summer magic tricks volume two for what is now probably a sunburned dad of a wizard.

The Same Ole Story

Chuck and BlaireFor my Beach Bitches,

Because Athena & Nayla are super summer fun…

So get the weekend party started!!!

It’s the same story over and over again. The outsider looking in… Romeo was a Montague and longed to be a Capulet. He Literally died to be part of their world for the love of his life. Nick was always wandering around tying to convince the world he belonged at the grand Gatsby parties. Dan Humphrey was so in love with the lives of privilege and wealth that when he knew he could never truly be a part of it he wrote himself into their story… Holden Caulifield didn’t realize how much he wanted to be part of their world until he was gone. He warns readers that telling others about your own experiences will lead to miss the people who shared them.

It’s F*&%ing Hot!

heat wave
For the love of Summer,
Because this isn’t funny…
So don’t laugh!
It’s F’ing Hot! And not like The Simple Life “That’s Hot,” like you walk one block down the street with wet hair and it’s completely dry hot. This week started with a relaxing day on Sunday at the beach and was followed up on Monday by an even more relaxing evening at Central Park listening to the NY Philharmonic. I felt great and didn’t want the relaxation to end… between work, life, and a city that is tense by default how do you find a way to relax and stay calm?
