Well, aside from the fact that June Gloom has made a small appearance already in the L.A metropolitan area, summer seems to have arrived early. Conditions have been well into the 80’s and sometimes 90’s. We have also had a lot of perfect days too, which is nice. 

I don’t know about other Angelinos but I like my weather at a nice 77-80 degrees.

With the extra heat that the summer brings one can expect extra dry skin. When it comes to feet, I avoid wearing full on shoes when I can but that means ugly footsies if am not careful.

To care for my feet and get them sandal ready I need…

1. Extra thick Foot Lotion
2. Foot Scrub
3. Bath salts and or essential oils for a relaxing foot bath
4. Foot Masques
5. Plenty of at home pedicures, so that means a lot of pedicure tools and nail colors
6. At least one professional pedi per month

Since Bath and Body works were having a sale [aren’t they always?], and since I was there picking up my favorite anti-bactirials, I picked up some of my listed tools. 

I got the Mini Scrub and Mini Lotion. As far as I can tell they are the same formula that they have always had, just different packaging. 

Hurray for cute feet!

Until Next Time…

I think I had a successful result in May and accomplished many of the things I intended to, including those not listed in my goal list. May is “my month”&  I love it…and while I had a ton of fun, as the month closes I begin to stress a bit. Summer months are both my most stressful and fun months of the year. A lot goes on at this time.

I have two weeks left of work…technically. My work schedule works a bit funny. I have one Job August-June and then usually a second job with the same company June-August , but this year we are doing a lot of things differently and I kinda dont know what am doing for 11 weeks. I could see if as vacation but knowing me, I can’t do that. I am hoping I can do at least a few hours here and there at work so its a good combo of vacation and work.  

However, I am also seeing it as an opportunity, less hours allows me to do some freelancing at salons or makeup counters. Hence all that tweeting about interview attire and interviews.  June goals involve a lot of career oriented items.

FOR WORK:

• Find more interview friendly attire
• Get writing clips ready
• Work on Skincare/Makeup Portfolio
• Website
• Restock Business card
• Hunt. Hunt. Hunt

• Plan a successful Anniversary date, my turn to plan this year

1. John Frieda’s Frizz Ease Conditioner/Hair Treatment: My Curly Q’s have been so kind and tame lately, easy on the frizz, heavy on the loveliness that they are. Hair I love you this month!

2. Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Fruitt: It took me a while to purchase one of the lip butters because I kept hearing mixed reviews. I finally went ahead and got one during my “Coral Period” and I love it…I am ready to get more now.

3. NYC High Definition Felt Pen Liner: Lining made easy! All for $0.99!

4. Benefit’s Stay Don’t Spray: I ended up liking this product on the second try. When I first got it as part of a mini set I wasn’t too crazy about it. The way I see it, good quality eyeshadow is going to stay on no matter what, thus I see no personal need for a shadow primer[specially if you keep in mind that concealer can create a “white canvas.”]  During the hotter months though, I do develop an annoying problem where eyeshadow is concerned. I have a bit of a deep crease, not really a hooded eye, just a pronounce crease and my eyeshadow can get yucky there if am not careful. The tiniest dab of this solves that issue.

5. Revlon Photoready Blush in Flushed: I can’t seem to get enough of this product! I feel like I have been using it every day since I got it, and I haven’t even made a dent.  

You heard about my favorites, now tell me, what are your favorites this month?

Until Next Time…
