Hi dolls,
Sorry I haven't been posting in a while. I've been busy since school finished with my brothers birthday, graduation, and now my birthday. Yesterday was my birthday. My Dad went on his honeymoon with his new wife and left my brother and I here to celebrate my birthday without him. My friend and accompanist of many years Leigh Anne Gillespie joined my brother and I for a low-key birthday dinner at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. Afterwards we had cake at our place. I read somewhere that good food and good company is what matters no alcohol is needed for a good time and this is true. I haven't had this much fun in a while. I have a wine and cheese event to go to tonight and Ill let you all know how that goes.

Mail's In! Toot! Toot!: Gifts from Germany
Dear Readers,
I got my swap package in the mail from my German swap pal Svenja in mid-May but due to a busy schedule I haven't been able to post on my blog. She is a sweet girl and really full of energy. I was looking for the Catrice eyeshadow in 180 'Petrol Keeps Me Running'. I saw Simone Simons swatch it on her blog as she was looking for a dupe for the color A Bluer Blue from her MAC holiday palette (Mac Eye Delights Warm Palette). I thought the color was GORGEOUS and since it is only available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, I posted a video on youtube hoping there was someone out in one of those countries that wanted to swap with someone from the USA. Surprisingly enough (I kid you not!) I was on the phone with a relative in Europe about 2 weeks after I posted the video got a comment 5 minutes after I got off the phone with them! She added me via facebook and we went from there. We each compiled a list of things we wanted and exchanged them. It took about a week to get our lists together, then we exchanged addresses and the packages went on their way! Hers took about a little over a week and a half to get here (mine took about a month and a half but the postal service here that really stinks!). When I opened the package, I couldn't believe all the wonderful things (including chocolate hehehe) that Svenja included.
(pics to come soon)
She is such a doll and a pleasure to swap with and should she need anything else I would be happy to swap with her again.
