The sale is awesome, but I also have my eye on the new clothing styles there.  The long tanks and tee shirt dresses are so cute.

Keep an eye on the prices.  Some tees are as low as $5.  If you’re a size that doesn’t sell out quickly, you can grab some sweet deals.  Just pay close attention to their sizing.  I’ve found the need to size up for myself and for my kids. If in doubt, go a size bigger.

Carriger’s novels have a healthy, sex-positive feel (the erotica isn’t super explicit) and feature LGBT side characters.  This is something I appreciate so much from a mainstream series.

The series is kind of like Twilight for grownups, with a lot more snark and far more puns.  The setting is sort of Victorian steampunk.  Highly recommended for a fuss-free summer read.  Start with Soulless.

Up until now, I’d been using Tarte Blushing Bride cheek stain, but I’ve been craving a simple powder that takes less time to look right and doesn’t feel goopy in the summer months.

Stila recently launched a Stila Custom Color Blush and I was kind of scared of it since the blush looks like it’s Jem and the Holograms hot pink in the compact.  I tried it out and found that it’s actually the coolest thing ever.  I sweep it on and boom, a pitch-perfect blush that suits my skin tone and isn’t too over the top.  It’s definitely pink-ish but not the kind of pink that makes you look like an old lady.  I dig it!  At $20, I’m hoping it lasts a long time.  Luckily I don’t wear makeup every day or even every week, so I’m thinking it’ll last me.

I have to use a TINY bit of it since my hair is short, but just a smidge makes my hair all soft and shiny and awesome and it smells good. I don’t usually end up buying full sizes after I get samples, but I had to get this one. I was immediately sold. If you have flyaways, frizz, or you just like your hair to smell sweet and lovely, I highly recommend this stuff.
