November Birchbox

In my November Birchbox I received:

Keratase beautifying oil for hair

Anastasia Hydrafull Gloss in sugar pink

Guerlain Shalimar Initial Eau De Parfum

Thymes Eucalyptus Body Lotion

Thymes Kimono Rose Body Lotion

2 coasters? <-- WHY?

I think I'm over Birchbox. Nothing has really thrilled me to be honest.

I think I'll wait for the December box but if there's nothing good, I'm gonna just cancel it.

I finally decided to go ahead and order this dress from Nordstrom's...even though they pissed me off. lol.  I couldn't pass up a good deal. It was 50% off, so good thing I waited! I got it for $74! 

WOOT WOOT!

 

If the above dress doesn't work out, I'm going to order this one below.

Hubby thinks it might be better for dancing anyways, since it's more flowy.

Update on MIL.

She's doing great! In fact, she went right back to work the next day!

Car is in the shop and was damaged pretty bad though. Hopefully it can be repaired.

And I know a lot of you may not be hip-hop fans. But I definitely am.

I was sad to hear about Heavy D passing.

 

He was only 44! 

RIP.

Did anyone else see the SNL Kardashian skit?

Hilarious!

Amazing Race

I caught an episode of Amazing Race for the first time last night and I am signing the hubby & I up! 

I am SO excited lol!

I may not be in the best shape of my life, but I guess that's what Zumba is for.

Now if I can just get motivated to take my ass to class.

Anyways our trip to ATL was a semi-bust. While it was fun hanging out with hubby, Nordstrom @ Phipps Plaza disappointed me. I saw all these beautiful dresses online but when I got to the store, none of those dresses were there. All they had were these hideous granny dresses. That REALLY annoys me. Just because women have curves, it doesn't mean we want to wear potato sacks or moomoos! We even drove to another Nordstrom @ Perimeter Mall and they had the same garbage.

Oh and when I told the sales associate I was looking for some dresses I saw online, she looked me uo & down and said, "you probably need to go to the Encore section."

Why do they call the plus size area Encore?

The definition of Encore is:

An additional performance in response to the demand of an audience.

So, in relation to plus size women, does this mean- for people who want an additional portion of food?

I don't know what moron came up with that name, but that is poor branding if you ask me.

I'm debating on whether or not to order the dress from their website. I am disappointed in Nordstroms that I really don't even want to give them any of my money at this point. 

Sunday was spent chillaxin all day.  I gave Bebe a bath and she was not happy.

I'm gonna have to record her one day. She knows the phrase "time for a bath" and literally fights me when I try to pick her up. It's hilarious how she growls every time I say, time I say bath time!

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
