Oh Me Lucky Charms

Since I’m a redhead and have a lot of Irish in me, I decided to celebrate 7 days of St. Patrick’s Day. I needed an excuse for a fun theme around here. Today’s lucky find is a sweet sterling silver shamrock bracelet from Red Envelope.

“We all like to believe that good things come in threes, and we have the Irish to thank for this optimistic credo. The native shamrock with three leaves is said to represent love, valor and wit.”

Just Like a Cinderella Slipper

You’ll feel like Cinderella at the Prince’s Ball in these beautiful metallic slides by Judith Leiber. I just love the pink and clear crystals on the straps of the shoes. They are a web exclusive and they’re $375. Now before you make that face you’ll be happy to know that that is the sale price. They’re originally $750. I don’t know about you, but they’re on my wishlist. The Ornament Chain slides only seem to be available up to size 8.5 at the moment, so I guess I’ll have to scratch them off my list. The sad fate of a girl with a size 10 foot.

Why should I use Windows Live?

Can someone please tell me why I should use Windows Live? I mean from what I can see it offers a search, news feeds and weather. There seems to be some other options as well, but nothing that makes me want to get excited and proclaim my profound love for it.  Maybe I’m missing something, maybe? I’m not? It was good for looking up a few RSS feeds that I couldn’t find for sites I’ve been looking for. So the search function is kind of good. Also their image search offers you a chance to view content within frames - which is convenient but isn’t that a big no-no? Framing other people’s content has been a big taboo on the ‘net as far as I remember.

I know it’s all about Web 2.0 and I know everyone’s excited about it. Well, most people. I guess I don’t enjoy having to be connected to do everything, and with as many errors I had while surfing the site it was just frustrating.  Yea yea, I know it’s Beta - but still.

Here’s a link to all the goodies they’re offering: Windows Live Ideas

Anyway, if you have something exciting to add to my lovely Windows Live (beta) experience I would LOVE to hear about it. Send me an email or comment. In the meantime, I guess I’ll stick with my good old standby.. MyYahoo. It’s been good to me and it offers nearly everything that I found available on Live.com.

Make Me Beautiful…

This past weekend while I was wandering around Target (yea my favorite store) I ventured into the makeup section. I found an awesome clearance sale going on and picked up tons of goodies. My finds included lip glosses, lipstick, eye pencils and even a few bottles of nail polish for less than a buck each. I also found 2 bottles of my favorite liquid makeup (Revlon) for $2.64 and a package of Physician’s Formula Loose-To-Go® Multi-Colored Powder for $2.64.  I had never tried this particular powder before but for less than $3.00 I thought I’d give it a whirl.

Well, I’m happy to report that I love love love this powder! I’m a redhead and needless to say I’m fair skinned. I also suffer from redness, especially on my nose and chin. I try a lot of different things to try and even out the skin tone but don’t have a lot of luck. This particular powder worked miracles I tell you! I can’t believe I never tried it before. I gave the little gadget a twirl and created the mixed loose powder. I then used the brush and applied it all over my face. I thought it would be just like any other powder but I was wrong. My pink face was perfectly even colored. I looked beautiful. Needless to say I went back to the store as quickly as I could to score some more, but I was left sad and empty. Someone else had gotten to my prized miracle powder before I had returned. Guess I’ll have to pay full price for it -but I shall not complain because I am so happy with this product that heck I’d pay 10 times that much for it. Yes, it worked that good for me.

SNAP! Cybershot Goes Mobile

Yet another non-pink mobile phone that makes my heart go pitter-patter. The newly announced Sony Ericsson K790 Cybershot Mobile Phone is even better than the Samsung SGH-i310 I told you about yesterday!

Put it this way, it’s the first ever cameraphone to carry the Sony Cybershot name, so it’s got to be good? Right?

Here’s the 411 on this gem:

Okay, sign me up!

The Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot K790 Phone offers a 3.2 megapixel digital camera w/ auto-focus, plus a Xenon flash (better pictures!). Toss in a music payer (MP3 & AAC) and a video recorder… bluetooth and the best feature: full HTML browsing with RSS feeds, Google Search and Blogger integration. I’M IN LOVE!!!!

My only peeve.. I wish it were a flip phone. I’m a flip phone kind of girl. I just don’t love the bar phones - no matter how much I try. Don’t even ask me how many minutes I’ve wasted on accidental calls or web browsing… ugh.
