I received my Solar Field & Neo Sci-Fi collection yesterday and I LOVE the eyeshadows! I bought Femme Fi, Evening Aura, and Magnetic Fields. I didn't bother to get Expensive Pink because it's permanent so need to rush out for that one, and as for Time & Space, I held off on it because it looks like MAC "Mulch" eyeshadow or Milani's "Sun Goddess". And I bought all four of the pearlized pigment clusters: Scatterrays, Sunpower, Bronzescape, and Black Ore.
Femme Fi is such a gorgeous pearl white with gold duo-chrome looking color, it makes a perfect highlighter, and it's definitely a color I want to stock up on! If "Shroom" and "Ricepaper" had an offspring, I think Femme-Fi would definitely be it! Evening Aura is an very light orangey pink (veluxe pearl), and "Magnetic Fields" is a beautiful dark taupe brown with a touch of charcoal, and a tiny bit of shimmer, it's truly a unique color and great for you gals that love neutral colors!
The only disappointment (for me anyway) about this collection was two of the four pearlized pigments: Scatterrays and Sunpower. I know that MAC purposely had the intention to make them "gritty" and chunky to reflect actual earthy looking minerals or to those found on other planets (LOL), but Scatterrays and Sunpower were just TOO chunky and glittery to even work with. (I am selling these two btw if any of you are interested).
However, the other two pigments, Black Ore and Bronzescape are just breathtaking! Black Ore is perfect for a smokey look or a night out on the town, it has the perfect amount of shimmer, and it's super sexy! Bronzescape reminds me of the "Goldstroke" pigment with more shimmer.
As you already know, I love the lipsticks, Sci-Fi Delity and Pleasureseeker, and I am thinking about grabbing the "Soft & Slow" lipglass.
Overall? This collection pales in comparison to other collections MAC has released, however, I LOVE that this collection catered to the neutral loving gals because at least there's something for everyone. The eyeshadows by far are my favorite out of this collection. And here are the pictures to see for yourself!
I also bought "Honey Moon" lipstick from the MoonBathe Collection from CCO (cosmetics company outlet), a pretty neutral brown with gold shimmer. I love the white packaging, I wish MAC made it their permanent packaging! :)
Here's a quick look I did using the eyeshadows from this collection:
What I used:
- Monistat Chafing Gel as primer
- MUFE (Makeup Forever) Full Cover Concealer in #8
- MAC StudioFInish Concealer in NC30
- Silk Naturals Foundation (Buttery Gold)
- Jordana Blush in "Stardust"
- MAC Beauty Powder in "Drizzlegold"
- MAC PP in "Soft Ochre" all over the lid
- MAC e/s in "Evening Aura" all over the lid
- MAC e/s in "Magnetic Fields" on outer half of the lid and contour, deepened the crease
- MAC e/s in "Femme Fi" as highlight on browbone
- Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner in "Blackest Black"
- Nixie Liquid Eyeliner in "Black"
- L'oreal Telescopic Mascara
- MAC l/s in "Pleasureseeker"
- Sephora lipliner
- MAC lipglass in "Underage"

Colloidal Silver:
Stop super-germs in their tracks with one powerful silver bullet
By Jonathan V. Wright, M.D.
SARS. Avian flu. These and other big-time bugs called "super-germs" are making headlines almost on a daily basis. People are scared, and rightly so. Super-germs mutate so quickly that antibiotics are virtually useless against them: As soon as an effective one is created, the germ mutates, and the antibiotic becomes obsolete. The same is true of many vaccines.
But there's no need to feel defenseless because these mutating germs have finally met their match. And it's been right under our noses all along. It's colloidal silver.
Colloidal silver just might be the next germ-fighting wonder drug. And not just for the serious threats making headlines: It's also effective against bacterial infections like strep throat, viruses like the flu, and fungal infections like Candida. No matter how much a germ mutates, it can't change enough to escape the damaging effects of colloidal silver. And in the process, the silver doesn't harm human tissue or kill off the good bacteria in the intestine the way antibiotics and other medications do.
Battling America's No. 1 health crisis
From 1900 to 1940, medical doctors in the U.S. used colloidal and other small-particle silver preparations intravenously to cure otherwise fatal infections. But then sulfa medications, penicillin, and other patented antibiotics were introduced and initially "worked like gangbusters." Since silver preparations were unpatentable, they predictably fell into disuse and were even criticized as "old-fashioned" and "ineffective" by proponents of the patented competitors. Some even claimed that even a little bit of silver is dangerous for your health. (I guess they didn't realize that silver is a normal part of our diets: Whole wheat and mushrooms are just two of the sources that contain relatively large amounts of silver.)
But all living things, from microbes to men, resist being killed. So after the first two to three decades of being killed off easily, bacteria have developed enough resistance to patented antibiotics that doctors are beginning to get worried again. Patented antifungal medications aren't working as well as they did at first either, and the number of effective patented anti-viral medications has always been very small. Now the situation is spiraling out of control.
To get an idea of the magnitude of the super-germ problem, take a look at the progression over the years. According to Newsweek, during 1992 at least 13,000 hospital patients died from drug-resistant infections despite being treated with antibiotics. But just one year later, super-germs raised the death toll to 70,000.1 As a result, in 1994 the Centers for Disease Control declared super-germs to be America's No. 1 health crisis.2 Since that time, the number has skyrocketed to 2 million Americans per year who suffer from hospital-based super-germ infections.3
While patent medication companies pour billions of dollars into developing patentable "space alien" molecules costing hundreds of dollars per prescription, others are calling for a re-examination of silver's ability to treat infections of all kinds-bacterial, fungal, and viral-apparently without inducing resistance.
A family of germ-fighting metals
For several years, scientists have been looking closely at silver as the best candidate to thwart the looming epidemic of super-germs. Back in the 70s, a researcher reported on the germ-fighting power of silver. He said, "Thanks to eye-opening research, silver is emerging as a wonder of modern medicine. An antibiotic kills perhaps a half-dozen different disease organisms, but silver kills some 650. Resistant strains fail to develop. Moreover, silver is virtually non-toxic."4
Silver belongs to the family of metals that also includes copper and gold (both of which can also have numerous health benefits when they're used properly). One of the primary concerns people tend to have about using these metals is the risk that they'll accumulate in the body and lead to heavy metal toxicity. But if you have plenty of antioxidants in your diet, such as selenium, vitamin E, and amino acids like N-acetyl cysteine, you're safe from any harmful effects from this family of metals. Germs, however, are not.
Once a germ has entered human cells, it becomes more difficult for drugs to attack the infection without also becoming toxic to those cells. But according to a research study published in the European Journal of Biochemistry, silver (and the other metals in this family) bring about a key reaction within the body's defense system: the production of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is lethal to germs, but it's not harmful to healthy human tissues when they're protected by plenty of antioxidants.5
The secret to silver's success
Although researchers have known of silver's germ-fighting effects for decades, it wasn't until 2000 that scientists finally understood why it worked so well. But first, it's important to understand antibiotics' Achilles' heel. Although germs have three vulnerable targets, any single antibiotic can attack only one of them at a time: (1) the germ's outer membrane, (2) its internal components, or (3) its delicate gene pool. When a germ becomes resistant to an antibiotic, it has learned how to fortify the specific target that the antibiotic attacks. You'd have to take several antibiotics to attack all of the germ's targets simultaneously.
But that sets the stage for further problems. Taking multiple antibiotics just increases the odds of wiping out enough friendly bacteria to allow an infection by various fungi (including Candida and other yeast). And in place of the friendly bacteria, "resistant" bacteria set up camp, including the infamous, but all-too-common, hospital residents-staph aureus and clostridia.
Antibiotics obviously don't have what it takes to nip these super-bugs in the bud. But that's where colloidal silver comes in. Silver attacks all three of the germ's vulnerable targets at once. First, the silver ions easily rupture a germ's outer membrane when present in the right amounts, causing the germ's vital internal components to be exposed in the bloodstream to our white blood cells. While the white blood cells attack the internal components, the micro-particulate silver continues to destroy these vital internal components by cutting up vital enzymes.
The silver ions then easily attack the germ's third vulnerable target: its delicate gene pool. Silver ions have the ability to reach into the nucleus of the germ, where its gene pool is located. Once they combine with the genes, the genes become paralyzed, and the germ cannot replicate itself.6
Gearing up for a war on viruses
But silver doesn't stop at fighting bacteria-it also targets fungal infections, such as athlete's foot and Candida, as well as viruses, such as the flu, upper respiratory infections, strep throat, and even HIV.
As I mentioned earlier, one of the biggest problems with fighting off germs-whether they be bacteria, viruses, or fungi-is keeping the body's cells safe and unharmed in the process. When a virus enters your body, it has to attach itself to your body's cells in order to live, and it actually uses those cells to help reproduce itself. They're so intertwined that it's impossible to kill off the virus without killing your body's cells in the process.
Because of that, your immune system is basically on its own when it comes to fighting a virus after it has entered your body. It does this by creating antibodies that will kill that specific virus and will keep it from coming back again. One mainstream medical solution is to get a vaccine of the specific virus (such as small pox or the measles) before you contract it. That will cause your body to build up antibodies to the virus and prevent you from contracting the real thing. But that's not the only medical solution. There are a few somewhat- effective patent medications, though they're laden with side effects. Look up "amantadine" and "acyclovir" for example, or some of the patent medications used against HIV.
Once again, the problem occurs when the virus itself changes. Take the flu, for example. The flu is one of the most common viruses that we face every year. But it's hard to stay ahead of it because new strains are always developing that are different from the ones that vaccines have been developed to treat. Many flu vaccines are a classic example of "fighting the last war" over again, instead of the present one. Each year it becomes increasingly more clear that what we really need is a broad-spectrum antiviral agent.7 Which brings us once again to colloidal silver.
A number of emerging medical studies confirm the antiviral properties of silver ions both in the laboratory and in real human studies against some of the most formidable viral organisms, including HIV and herpes.8-10 A study in 1991 showed that both zinc and silver ions strongly inhibited HIV infection.11 In 1993, the Washington Post cited laboratory tests showing that a new Japanese silver ion powder actually destroyed both HIV and herpes.12 And when silver is tied to oxygen, it can actually electrocute the germ--which has turned out to be a powerful new way to destroy viruses.13
Beginning in the 1970s, several independent researchers found that silver ions easily destroy Candida and other fungi.14-16 But it wasn't until a pilot study during the mid- 1990s that included human patients suffering from terminal AIDS that medical researchers established solid evidence showing just how quick and effective silver ions can be in the treatment of Candida as well as HIV.
In this study, nine individuals who were near death were divided into two subgroups. One group suffered from HIV and a terrible Candida infection. The other group suffered from both HIV and an extreme form of malnutrition (known as Wasting Syndrome). The researchers found that in both groups the colloidal silver was capable of killing pathogens and purging the bloodstream of germ defenses in order to restore the immune system.17
One of the most exciting aspects of this study is the positive effect colloidal silver had on the severe blood disorders present in AIDS. For example, it is well known that certain populations of immune cells called CD4 cells (a type of white blood cell) are greatly altered and deficient in people who have AIDS. Although silver ions may initially cause a person's blood cell counts to drop, the deficiency in the CD4 cells is corrected within 24 to 72 hours. This is called the "rebound effect."
As far back as 1916, researchers found that silver-based drugs increased the numbers of immune cells called leucocytes, while at the same time checking Staphylococcus septicemia, a severe and often lethal blood infection. After an initial decrease in red and white blood cells, silver ions caused a rapid increase in both types.19,20 But it wasn't until 2001 that a single pilot study reported in the Clinical Practice of Alternative Medicine showed that high concentrations of a certain kind of colloidal silver had the same results: at first, a dramatic and sharp decrease of the good blood cells, but then a rebound effect rapidly kicked in and resulted in total blood cell recovery.21
Another feature of certain immune cells that is vital to destroying germs is the ability of those cells to swallow and digest them. How fast or how slow these immune cells carry out this vital defensive action is called the phagocytic index. In 1909, the Journal of the American Medical Association was the first medical journal to point out that colloidal silver could actually increase our immune cells' phagocytic index.22,23 In the past few years, more studies have shown that silver ions greatly enhance the essential second part of the phagocytic index-the part where the germ is digested by our immune cells. This is brought about because silver ions increase the "digesting juices" (what you know as hydrogen peroxide) of these immune cells.
Pint-sized particles duke it out with the Goliath of germs
The smaller the size of the silver particle, the more likely it is to kill germs. Previously, the smallest silver particle preparations were between 14 and 26 nanometers.
(A nanometer is one billionth of a meter.) But more recently, many natural medicine clinics and physicians have been working with a preparation of silver that has a confirmed uniform particle size of 0.8 nanometers. It's called Argentyn 23. When this 0.8-nanometer-sized silver is used intravenously by physicians, it's often called "UPOSH," which is short for "ultraparticulate uniform picoscalar silver hydrosol." (Another 0.8- nanometer form that's available over-the-counter is called Sovereign Silver. It's 10 parts per million, while Argentyn 23 and "UPOSH" are 23 parts per million.)
At 0.8 nanomters, the silver particles in Argentyn 23 and Sovereign Silver are tiny enough to be readily absorbed in your stomach, so they can easily penetrate into germs when properly delivered in the right amounts. Another benefit of quick absorption is that it protects the good bacteria in your digestive system. In contrast, as antibiotics travel deep into the intestinal tract, they destroy the protective bacteria that reside there, often causing diarrhea and yeast infections in the process.
If you feel an infection coming on, try taking 1 teaspoon (5 ccs) of Argentyn 23 every 15 to 60 minutes on an empty stomach seven or more times daily. Or, if you decide to take Sovereign Silver instead, take 2 teaspoons each time since it's a "weaker" solution. Of course, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor about what might be right for your particular circumstances. But the sooner you start taking it in the course of an infection, the better its chances of working quickly. You can use the silver treatment while taking other anti-infection and immune-boosting agents, such as vitamin C, vitamin A, Echinacea, and many others, but you shouldn't take them at the same time because the silver absorbs best on an empty stomach.
Although these tiny quantities of silver are very safe for humans, you should still stop the treatment once the infection is gone. Long-term use of very large doses of silver can cause a bluish discoloration of the skin called argyria.
Occasionally, colloidal silver can be so effective that the immune system can't handle the rapid dying off of microorganisms. This excess die-off could produce symptoms called Jarisch-Herxheimer effects (JHEs), more commonly called Herxheimer reactions. Symptoms can include mild to moderate headaches, joint pain, sweating, nausea, flulike symptoms without fever, malaise, a red rash, skeletal pain, and itching. Less common symptoms include chills, diarrhea (typically of short duration), vomiting of short duration, and fever. Keep in mind, though, that these symptoms are actually an indication that the treatment is working. If you experience Herxheimer reactions, stop taking the treatment for 24 to 48 hours and then resume at a lower dose. And as always, consult your doctor if any unexpected symptoms occur.

The top four qualifiers represent the future of the sport with Joey Logano having his best chance yet to show the public he is the real deal. Can the Logano hype match skills with Caisse,Duncan and Davis? Some suggest Lagano will be the next Jeff Gordon -- and some proclaim he will be the best to ever (brave statement) drive a race car. Tonight will make or break those statements. If Lagano cant win tonight does he really live up to the hype?

I hope ESPN is watching this broadcast. No gimmicks or clutter on the screen, camera angles that show the action rather than just focused on one car. Also this was the right way to do a prerace show. Just because you have 30 minutes before the race doesn't mean you have to show Aerosmith videos, hype the drama, have 9 different reporters and hosts, and insult the viewer with some of the inane questions or statements. This prerace show was simple. Driver interviews, and the commentators discussed important topics such as the prestige of the race, where the drivers come from, and how they qualified. Useful graphics can be text only and don't have to be so overproduced like many of the things that ESPN does.
I'm glad that ESPN isn't broadcasting the Daytona 500, it really scares me to think of the possibilities.

Wow...it is such a PLEASURE not to have TICKERS ALL OVER the screen.
*Oh, ESPN, DROP her ticker during the race AND the on on ABC and the SPORTS UPDATES**
Also, note how DW called the problem in the corner and then the camera went there.
WOW, I NEVER, EVER thought I would be so homesick for DW!!! he 'can' get on my nerves but after Rusty, I am going to be more forgiving in my criticism of Darrel. :-)
These guys just feel like old slippers.
if ONLY the ESPN guys would read THIS blog about the differences.
LESS CLUTTER on the screen means MORE to the fans and more racing on the screen!
P.S. As I preview this and read the updates, I am a slow typist, but we are all commenting on the same thing!! LOL
If that isn't a big HELLO to what fans want, I don't know what is.

I am so enjoying this race. Even DW isn't bugging me like he usually does. He seems to have some good chemistry with Mike Joy and Dick Berggren.
It occurs to me that what we're going to see is three totally different approaches to commentating this weekend.
First, the SPEED Irwindale races, where Joy and Berggren are providing professional, low-key and informative commentary, combined with excitement and enthusiasm where appropriate.
Tomorrow, we get to listen to the F1 SPEED team, whose obvious joy at being able to watch their favourite series is infectious. I really don't mind their chatter, since it's always informative and trenchant. They never seem to be talking down to the viewer; instead, they're sharing their wealth of expertise with us. I love listening to them.
And finally, we'll get the ESPN crew, who for the most part are sloppy, egotistical, lackadasical, boring, condescending and gimmicky.
I love the first two, in spite of their vast differences in approach. The last appalls me.

When you think how the F1 does the commentating from a booth in the US as opposed to being at the races, LIVE, and they are fun to listen to, it just shows how having the IN PERSON, hitech this, and latest gizmos and graphics adds NOTHING to a race.
I think those F1 guys are fun and I enjoy them on WT, too.
During this Toyota All Star race, I am enjoying the "Chemistry" in the race and the GENUINE laughter and fondness in the booth...

Yes its a small budget event, but you know? Its doesnt matter that you have 75 robot cameras, 217 employees at the race, and a state of the art booth with LED lights. ESPN could learn a thing or seven about chemistry, and how to run an event. Man it is a pleasure to hear these guys call the race. They are not fighting to see who's hair looks the best all be it Dick doesnt offer that option -- but none the less I couldnt be happier about a racing broadcast. Maybe its because I'm used to watching the stressed out, whacked out, over commercialized epox presented by ESPN.

okay, I'm humming along on a high of FABULOUS coverage, and then it hits me..... Money. Do they have the commitments that ESPN/ABC/FOX/TNT does? Is that's why its so much better? I mean, WE'RE SEEING RESTARTS!!! INTELLIGENT COMMENTARY!! BACKSTORIES!! I feel a little faint....But I digress. Is it because they can? Is it because they don't have many commercial mouths to feed? The powers that be, please say no.Otherwise there's no hope

I'm loving how these guys aren't just watching what the camera is on and are alerting people to a wreck in progress. The FOX crew was always really good at that.

Oooooooh it is so good to hear Mike Joy and DW in the booth...who cares if it is a second tier all-star race...THEY make it enjoyable to watch and listen to.
Even Dr. B sounds good in the booth.

ESPN could use DW in the booth to point out the wrecks to the camera folks.
MEOW HISS!! lol
This is a fun race.

I gained a lot of respect for Mike Joy when he started doing Barrett Jackson. Yes its a golf shirt kind of broadcast tonight without the fear of a billion dollar television package, but its good to get the pressure off. The first time I heard Mike and Darrell lay back like this was the HBO broadcast from Eldora. Laughter, banter, all the things of which chemistry is based. btw, when Lagona wins tonight you can say you were there when the kid took it national.

I think its important to note that the TV talent never looks at the monitor in this race as the primary source of race action.
Joy and Berggren are adding the specifics, and DW is adding the "racing observations."
Regardless of why DW is wearing a Toyota shirt instead of a SPEED shirt and was not mentioned in the SPEED press material on this event, he has added a good solid presence in the booth.
Notice how Mike Joy immediately set the tone, and then the entire broadcast crew responded. This is what Jerry Punch needs to learn. The play-by-play announcer is the leader, and all the others follow.
What a fun broadcast.

- Alex said...
Just a guess about DW... He was a guest of Toyota to be the grand marshall (hence the shirt), and SPEED invited him up to the booth at the last minute? Glad he's there!

Okay, say I'm a "casual fan" and I stumble upon this race kinda like someone earlier this week described watching rugby for the first time. The commentators are being very thorough about the rules, who is racing, where they are from, who they race for, how old they are, what the problems are, rules ect. So i think to myself, I might want to watch this NASCAR thing. So I tune in on Sunday and what do I see? Not even close.

One thing to remember about the Showdown is, its a showcase of regional drivers. There is a reason why they let the drivers ramble on about who they are. There is a reason why they describe the drivers. Its all about introducing this talent to the NASCAR public. Think of it as a debutante outcoming. I dont know that Speed makes an effort at each event to use this format, and remember NASCAR sets the tone for how this event rolls.

This just in: Darrell Waltrip has been banned from Speed for asking what happened to Joe Theisman, no wait wrong sport. DW must be beating the traffic.

Well, the fact of the matter is, ESPN is known for arrogant, smug "we get ourselves, you don't" attitude. That station has more money than brains (note how they fly Suzy and Moss around the country for nuttin')
These guys tonight act like guys hanging out in your home, telling you about the race and what they see off screen, they know about it and tell us before the camera shows it to us.
ESPN does not know fun and sadly, you can't fake it. Chemistry is either there or it ain't.
And if you have one big dog trying to steal the thunder (Rusty I WANNA HEAR MY VOICE WALLACE) it's never going to happen.
And when Rusty tells everybody in the bix is giving him nothing but PRAISE and fabulous feedback, he needs to remember, we are NOT MUSHROOMS.
If the guys on Fox or SPEED messes up, somebody gives them the business and they laugh or shrug it off and go on.
Tonight is a special treat.
NOBODY takes themselves seriously nor tries to steam roll over people. in the truck series booth, Mikey may talk too much for some people but he NEVER comes off mean spirited like Rusty did. The Gordon/Jr deal last week was cringeworthy.
Who ever is enjoying tonights show?? FIND AN MRN AFFILIATE IF POSSIBLE in your area and listen to them and mute the tv.
EVEN with the time lag, they are WORTH IT.
Then turn on the tv next February for Daytona. And let's hope Fox loses their lame animation car thingie.
Hated it during green flag racing.
P.S. Do NOT confuse radio MRN with the guys on PRN.
HUGE DIFF and MRN is superior in my newbie opinion of NASCAR on radio.

AND AND AND!!! They ran over and held it for driver interviews!!! I have to add, having been on the speed forums for awhile, I understand doing Raceday tomorrow early because of Brazil. Not asking to be coddled, just a little respect, thank you. Off to bed, have to be up at 6 am to be coherent for Raceday (Las Vegas)

Hello ladies (and gents)! I have missed y'all dearly! I am on my last lap of my hectic schedule and come July I should be back to my blogging schedule where I at least post once a day. So I am slowly trying to get back into the groove of things, I haven't had internet access in about 3 or 4 days since I left my laptop at home and spent the weekend at the BF's mom's house so I was twittering from my phone, so sorry in advance for you ladies that have emailed me. (https://twitter.com/nessasarymakeup)
For last year's IMATS photos: CLICK HERE
Since I went picture crazy (as I was there for both days of the show), I am splitting IMATS into about 3 separate posts since there are tons to cover. I was part of "Press" so I tried to document as much as I could as if you ladies were there yourselves! So I will post my haul in my next post. I met some really awesome ladies- my blogger sisters and readers and it was SUCH A PLEASURE and an AWESOME experience meeting you all, and thanks to those that came up to say "Hello!". I finally met the gorgeous and talented Christine from Temptalia.com, Elessa (aka Pursebuzz) once again, as well as a few famous YouTubers like Sparkage, Judy, Fafinette (Aubrey) and Petrilude.
They are all so awesome as they are online and I was so excited to have met these wonderful people who share the same passion. I was sad I missed a few bloggers and friends such as Robyn from Purely Cosmetics, Linda from myprettypinkbox.com, as well as a few others. But I was happy to see the awesome gals i've hung out with before like Imee, Christiana, Jackie, and of course the readers! Bonnie and Ingrid you ladies are so sweet and I truly appreciate the wonderful gifts and it's such a pleasure to meet you Bonnie!
IMATS this year wasn't as good as last year's in my opinion. For some reason, as much as the venue itself seemed bigger, it felt much much smaller in the sense that not too many companies exhibited this time around, the economy perhaps??? Nonetheless, there were still some great deals to be snagged, such as Makeup Forever (MUFE) which gave 40% off all their products during the show, MAC PRO gave 20% off (they DID NOT give the MAC PRO cards without proper credentials anymore), and of course great deals on brushes galore.
I received a PRESS KIT goodie bag which I will post soon, but it had some awesome products I can't wait to try out. Unfortunately I got sick this past weekend, probably due to the fact that it was supposed to be sunny on Saturday but instead it was raining! So I wasn't dressed for the weather and now my head is stuffy so once I am in the makeup mood I'll play with 'em. I also have some new Purely Cosmetics goodies to share with you all as well soon!
They had a chalk festival across the street and it was SO INCREDIBLE how talented these people are, these art pieces were all done with pastels and chalk!
***IF ANY of you ladies have pics from the show, send 'em to me please!***
Anyways, here are some pics:
Me and Pursebuzz!
Eve Pearl and Ingrid
Maxi from "Blush"

i can't believe i missed out on attending IMATS this year. my fault as i took your word in previous posts that it wasn't open to the general public. i should have done more research. those are pretty cool pics you took tho.
- July 1, 2009 at 10:12 PM

this year's IMATS was open to the public..i remembered that you posted in the previous year that it was only for peeps in the makeup industry...guess they changed that or something.
- July 1, 2009 at 10:15 PM
- Vanessa said...
Hi, I didn't say that IMATS was closed to the public, if you look at my original post of the show from last year, I never mentioned that, I was comparing other shoes such as IECSC show, Cosmoprof, etc where THOSE shows require some proof you are in the industry. I even went on to say that at IMATS last year they gave out MAC PRO cards without documentation although they changed THAT this year where you MUST have documentation to get one but IMATS has always been opened to the public.

Building Urban, Building Green
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2007 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 01, 2007
The advantages of building a green home in a compact city center overrule the headaches of remediating a brownfield site for this Milwaukee family.
In 2002, my husband, Mike Kaufmann, and I set out to better align our lives with our values of personal responsibility, commitment to urban community, and environmental sustainability. Since a house is the biggest financial investment and the most significant consumption of products we will likely make in our lifetime, we decided to build a green home as an embodiment of these values. After extensive research, we chose a contaminated city lot located within the fabric of Walker's Point, a historic Milwaukee neighborhood. The city of Milwaukee had acquired the lot through foreclosure in 1980. At that time, older structures that had existed on the property had been demolished, leaving a vacant parcel of land. Because soil contamination was suspected, the lot sat vacant for nearly a quarter of a century, despite its location in a community with significant redevelopment potential. An environmental investigative report, known as a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, was finally commissioned by the city of Milwaukee in September 2000, in preparation for making the parcel available for redevelopment. This report identified the previous owners of, and uses at, the site, including a Pabst Guard Armory, a junk dealer, and a waste materials and paper facility. ...

If there is one thing we can learn from Bravo's hit TV show "Top Chef," it's that cooking ain't easy.
Fortunately, cooking a meal to impress a date or a few close friends is a little easier than trying to wow an all-star chef like Tom Colicchio. All you need is a secret ingredient, which you can find on your smartphone or tablet. Keep these mobile apps stocked in your digital kitchen and you'll be a top chef in no time….
Think of this app as your mobile sous chef. With this tool you can consolidate all of your shopping needs, prep tasks and cooking schedules into a manageable system.
A top chef is only as good as his or her recipes, and this award-winning app from Epicurious.com will give you about 30,000 of them.
Features include:
If you want to know how to think like a great chef, you need to know how to eat like one. This app features restaurant recommendations coming exclusively from some of the most talented chefs in the business.
Time is never on your side when you're in the kitchen. Jamie Oliver of "Naked Chef" fame knows this, and he's been kind enough to provide you with an arsenal of recipes that will minimize your cooking time and maximize your meal enjoyment.
Features include:
Many people equate "raw food" with rabbit food, but renowned chef and raw food authority Matthew Kenney crafted this mobile app to teach top chefs-in training how to integrate this healthy, elegant and delicious approach into their own meal plans.
At some point, you'll get cocky and start believing you're good enough to join the real "Top Chefs" at the judge's table. Just for the record you're probably not… but this official app from NBCUniversal will at least feed your delusions a little bit longer.
Features include:
Just remember that your cooking career won't go far if you let malware and viruses transform your mobile device from stunning top chef to surly busboy who quits right in the middle of the dinner rush. Keep your smartphones and tablets protected with the same care with which you guard your most prized secret recipe.

My heart goes out to the family of the murder-suicide of 6 people that were killed this past weekend in Porter Ranch, they are a few houses down from me in the same gated community, and it's sad that he took the life of his family along with his own- an "honor" killing is what they label it as. There were news vans and helicopters near where I live, and it's sad something like this happened. I could never hurt my own children, and it's sad that these innocent kids lost their lives at the hands of their own father.
I finally got my Muko Muko Dress from Ling! Thank you SOOOO much! I got it on Friday and it's so cute! I actually wore it to a friend's bday dinner at Dave & Busters; it can be worn 2 ways, as a skirt, or as a tube top dress paired with a belt.
I also wore it with my new boots since it was raining that day and wore it with a tunic I got from Forever21. (Don't mind my white legs, lol)
The birthday girl:
And Miss Tracy was there too!
And the BF and I ate at "The Hat", I LOVE their wet fries which reminds me of poutine minus the cheese...hmm gravy and fries!
Tara was kind enough to send me some ketchup chips and flakies! Thank you so much Tara! I am sending you some "thank you" gifts your way! :)

Your dress is really cute and I think you've styled it better (belt, boots, tunic) better than the advertisement.
I just read the article on the murder-suicide and it's horrible. I hope you don't mind me correcting you but I don't think this was an honor killing. According to the artice, in the suicide note that the guy left for the police, he states that of the two options he felt he had (killing himself vs. killing himself and the whole family), he believed that the latter would be the honorable thing to do. In his wharped head he probably thought that his wife and kids would not be able to handle the grief if he killed only himself. This goes to show that no matter how seemingly stable someone may appear, when pushed beyond their limits, horrific things can happen. Clearly he was not a stable person.

- Vanessa said...
Preeti- I didn't claim it was an honor killing I was just quoting what the police officers were saying based on the suicide note, he took the life of his family and himself because he felt "it was the most honorable thing to do" and hence they think he felt like he was a failure to his family being out of work for so many months, and figured killing his family would be the best way out....

- Anne @ yummiebitez.com said...
I just finished reading the whole article and that's really sad and unfortunate. It's kinda scary what the economy is doing to people, but still no reason to kill your family because of a tight snag. You would think a smart man wouldn't do such a dumb thing like that. But that's trippy how it's seriously down the block from you. Too bad for the family who owns the house too... prolly won't be able to rent that house anymore or at least might have a hard time because of the murder incident (haunted!). But that's so sad for that girl who had a bright future ahead of her being in business program in UCLA. I think what the dad did was more selfish than an "honorable" thing to do.
Anyway, on a lighter note... wtf is up with me on that first picture LOL. GROSS. ahahhahaha. what a fun night though. weeeeeeee.

I live in the South Bay area, but I have friends who go to Fullerton and my cousins live in Chino Hills and I'm always everywhere. I force my bf to go to far places for food! Have you gone to Sonics? Their drinks are yum, but food is so so! So we'll go to the Hat for food and drinks at Sonics!

This was not an honor killing, in the traditional sense. Honor killings are usually when a parent kills their children because the child had "disgraced" the family and the parent feels that they are forced to "uphold" the honor of the family. The typical example would be when a parent kills their daughter for wanting to divorce her abusive husband. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor_killing
In this situation, the father killed his children because he thought it was the "honorable" thing to do. He didnt kill his children because they dishonored him, rather he killed them because he had some bizarre, demented idea of what he should do to protect his children. Im not excusing his behavior or saying its morally better than an honor killing, but all that I am saying is that its different. Just because the guy was of indian/south asian descent and killed his child, that doesnt mean it automatically falls into the category of an "honor killing."

Oz GFS had us in 6-8 inches for all of WNY. The 6Z had 4-6 inches. This storm looks pretty strong on the current radar in Indiana heading to Ohio. Hope we get an update from News 8 today.ReplyDelete

Yes NBD a few inches for cityReplyDelete
Technically 3-6 is "several" not "a few." In any event, that much concrete-type snow could be problematic in terms of scattered power outages as Stacey alluded to especially if the wind kicks up at all. Gusts look like they could get near 30mph for several hours during the storm per NWS. This system looks very moist on radar so the amount of cold air working in will be very important.ReplyDelete

Was at Wegman's and heard folks talking about 6-12+ inches expected overnight. With the wind and snow expected; surprised there is no Winter Storm Warning for Monroe County, and mainly to the South and East. Folks need to prepare for this,especially if you have plans for Sunday. Difficult travel expected. Winter is still holding on, and perhaps we will get more snow into April. Looking to break that 110-115" snow mark. YEA!!!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 29, 2014 at 11:08 AM
Come on, witht the way the weather professionals have been this season in their predictions of snow fall -- we all know 4-6" means 10" inches of snow. For those of us who LOVE Winter -- this year GREAT!!!! Counting down the hours. Maybe we will get this Winter Storm following by the Historica Ice Storm -- now that will give us something to talk about.ReplyDelete

Well have to go with our local Mets and none of them have that 2-4 for most or 3-6. That is what all have said. In fact 13 updated this morning on web and said 2-4 inches.ReplyDelete
These late season systems can be such a struggle to forecast, with the stronger sun (although this won't play TOO much of a role due to the night-time onset of most of the precip), plus the relatively warmer ground will play a little bit of a role, at least at the start. Plus the temp profile is so painfully marginal, we MUST have that cold air filtering in. That being said, with the 12Z data coming in still looks like we should get a decent slug of moisture once the cold(er) air makes it in, plus some wraparound Sunday morning. Regardless, it'll be gone by Monday and Tuesday with milder temps and stronger APRIL sunshine!ReplyDelete
More updates coming this afternoon, obviously!

Does this mean if the storm is moving at a slow pace, it will be with us for an extended period of time?Delete
So all things considered, we should be looking at totals in the neighborhood of 1-10 inches. Clearly a sign of lockstep certainty in the situation :PReplyDeleteReplies

Would not joke about the Historic Ice Storm as the person was correct in predicting the Blizzard on March 12th -- just remember that fact. Would not laugh if I were you.Delete

Prepare to do some major shoveling Sunday into Monday. Winter is her to stay for the time being. Remember what happens after we get 50 degree plus weather; usually followed by a Winter Storm.

CCCC have not heard you make a real prediction with this? You usually are right out there with your thoughts. Find it weird that this is right on our door step yet no one wants to state what they think other than updates to follow stay tuned. I am saying it at least 5 for all and up to 10 for a lot. This is slow moving and does not lack moisture. This could cause problems with tree limbs and power lines bc of heavy snow.ReplyDelete

Then CCCC what do temp profiles support because there seems to be a lot of QPF with this storm that has fallen is Ohio and as you said some mesoscale models do have us in the sweet range albeit way overdone. I still see if this changes to snow early a 6-10 inch snowfall for all.ReplyDeleteReplies
Snow and rain with some sleet rather than a widespread zone of freezing rain.Delete

I'm only knocking the notion of this being mostly rain, which no forecast or model indicates, and some local observations already include wintry precipitation with the sun still up.

Anyone else looking out the window in the daylight of 7PM, practically April watching the precip change from rain to ice/sleet to snow then looking at the thermometer drop then looking at the radar then looking at the blog then looking out the window again.ReplyDelete
I love weather.
Of course I'd be happier if it were sunny and 65.

CCCC, I think perhaps your being too bold with your predictions of mainly rain. Thermal profiles, radar, obs, models have all been concrete with a majority of this falling as snow... I'm just glad we don't need to be too concerned about ice with this one!ReplyDeleteReplies

Disregard that last post as a.) I can barely read the blog on my phone when i'm at work and misunderstood CCCC b.) now getting a little worried about freezing rain c.) it's getting really windyDelete

Any news 8 updates?ReplyDelete

Think it was suppose to change around midnight and snow hard over night? Radar still looks like a lot of precipitation on the way?ReplyDelete
Just came in from plowing. We will be back at it at 3 am. It has been ALL SNOW in Hamlin from the start. We have a solid 3 inches and still coming down moderately. I would say a solid 6+ inches looks VERY LIKELY in Hamlin for this late season storm. I hope this is the last snowfall, I have had enough for one season.ReplyDeleteReplies

Don't wish for that. For use Snow Lovers, we are hoping for more snow in April. Besides don't you want to make a few extra dollars.Delete

And this really is Winter Storm Warning criteria. Idk what the NWS is doing...ReplyDelete

For all you who said majority rain. Wrong. It has been all snow. The roads are very dangerous and it is snowing at least 1-2 per hour right now in Gananda with the radar lit up 6+ easily. Should have been a WSW. The NWS blew it.ReplyDelete

Again think I said look at the radar way back. There was a lot of moisture and 6-10 a good bet and that is what JN had on his channel 10 forecast tonight. CCCC really quiet on this one he fizzled out at the end of winter.ReplyDeleteReplies

Joke how bad NWS blew this situation.ReplyDelete

Just drove home at midnight. Conditions about as bad as it gets. My December prediction of 110" for the season is a slam dunk.ReplyDelete

Sadly News 8 will be wrong on the projected totals yet again.....ReplyDelete

News 8 was good on the blizzard. Under played this one for sure as did nws.Delete
- WeatherguyMarch 30, 2014 at 7:48 AM
I'm a little frustrated with the NWS and News 8... No updates after all models and radar were indicating a much bigger storm than predicted earlier. As a result, there's 8-10" of snow in my driveway and the roads have not been touched by plows due to this being downplayed so much...ReplyDelete
- farmingtonMarch 30, 2014 at 7:56 AM
Definitely a bust in our favor if u like snow. Doesn't happen very often. I'm not going to point fingers it is what it is. Will be gone by Wednesday. For now its one more day for kids to play in snow. At least 6 inches in farmington.ReplyDelete

Hopefully this was winters last hurrah. Hopefully old man winter doesn't pursue the high end of my target of 120".ReplyDelete

Have to admit that when you look at the postings form earlier in the day on Saturday, many of the comments s to excpecting 8-10 or 6-10 inches of snow were slammed by many of the bloggers. Mentioned hearing this a Wegman's Saturday morning, and as one blogger put it, it was probably someone wanting to impress his girlfriend with knowledge of the weather. Also one posted that I would be shoveling my own crap on Sunday. Have to say, wondered what he/she thought of Sunday morning when they saw the amount of heavy snow which had fallen overnight, and with snow plows did the best they could to keep up. Now did they shovel their own, and had a girlfriend do it for them. Have to agreed News 8 Team really missed this one; wonder if Scott will have a posting asking folks to rate him and his weather team on this one?ReplyDelete

Yoko Ono says she's thankful Paul McCartney appears to have gotten over his grudge against her.
McCartney, in a recent Rolling Stone interview, said he's getting along fine with the widow of John Lennon, his old songwriting partner. The bad feelings dated back to when Lennon's romance with Ono caught fire as the Beatles were falling apart.
Ono, in an interview with The Associated Press, said it was good to hear those words.
McCartney even called her a "badass," in a good way. She said: "He's a rocker."

We are surrounded with the practical necessities of what we need to survive and enrich our lives. I really feel we should try to include beauty in the mix! I decided to create a blog featuring a variety of practical yet beautiful and joyful articles to live with. Many of them can be customized with your personal names and sayings.
Using my original photographs and designs I have created so many products for my online stores, Bebop's Place and Bebop's Weddings, and want to share them here. I am also constantly amazed at the fantastic products available from the rest of the Zazzle community and plan to showcase some of them as well. I am hoping viewers, in discovering this blog, will enjoy and possibly purchase some of these lovely items.
