My Favorite Things: TV Edition

This is a list of 5 TV shows I'm currently obsessed with. To give a list of my favorite TV shows of all time would result in blogger crashing with all the content I would put in this post alone!

1. Single Ladies (VH1 Mon, 9PM ET/PT):

I'm so glad I started watching because I seriously LOVE IT! I admit that the acting at times can be a little flat and 2 Dimensional but I'm so distracted by the pretty clothes, fly shoes and GORGEOUS, I mean really sexy guys that I don't even care! The story line is good too: cheating, dating, getting dumped, therapy, stealing, lying, sex, scandal, fashion, glamour...I could go on and on.


2. Brothers & Sisters (Streaming Instantly on Netflix):

Ok, so I know that this show has been cancelled but I started watching it on Netflix and I'm really hooked. This show makes me really want to have a big family (I'm only child) with a whole bunch of brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews...*sigh* It's too late for the brothers and sisters now but perhaps in the future, I can have 5 children like Nora Walker in the show....NOT!!!!!! LOL


3. The Secret Life Of The American Teenager (ABC Family Mon 8PM ET/PT):

This is the only show (that I know of) about teenage pregnancy that DOESN'T glorify it and I'm so addicted to it. The show really lets teenagers get a glimpse of how difficult their lives get after getting pregnant but I personally watch for all the drama, not the lesson! I know a lot of people think its corny but I still think its a cute show. I'm so fixated on the story lines that I get emotionally attached! A couple of weeks ago, this one particularly sad episode had me crying for like 20 minutes straight! LOL

4. Keeping Up With The Kardashians (E! Sun. 10PM ET/PT):

I love the Kardashian sisters! The closeness and craziness is so fun to watch. This is another show that makes me wish I had siblings! LOL But the three girls kind of remind me of me and my two best friends especially since all three of us love and watch the show together all the time. And I LOVE the way they dress, they're always looking fly!


5. Teen Wolf (MTV Mon. 10PM ET/PT):

I was reluctant about this show because I thought it was gonna be twilight-ish and to be honest, I hate twilight. But this show proved to be pretty decent so far. It almost didn't make this list but the latest episode that came on Monday was really good and put this show on the map for me! Being a Buffy fan, I am critical of genres like this, because I think Buffy's creator Joss Whedon is king of Sci-Fi but Teen Wolf is pretty good!

That concludes my list. Is there any show you think I missed? Do you have a show on right now that I should check out? Let me know!

Thanks for reading!

My Favorite Things: Makeup Edition

I'm about to get real girly on ya'll right now!

1. Eye Shadow Palettes

I love eyeshadow palettes period but my favorite one has to be the 88 Neutral Eyeshadow palette from Coastal Scents (or BH Cosmetics, they're pretty much the same thing.) When I put on make up in the mornings, I pick this up, pretty much every day. It never fails, the colors are pigmented and the price is cheap too! Between $20-$25 (Its cheaper at BH Cosmetics btw!)


2. Sugar Lip Polish from Fresh

This has saved my life! Ok, I tend to be a little exaggerated lol. But not only does this stuff work wonders for my always peely lips but it tastes good too! Not that you should eat it though but if it just happens to meet with your tongue, its not the worst thing in the world to be tasting. Price: $22.50 from Sephora


3. Translucent Touch-Up Powder (from Sephora)

My face, especially in the t-zone area gets so oily throughout the day all year around so when that happens, I take this jammy out with my trusty little Kabuki brush and get rid of all that unflattering shine. And contrary to popular belief, it doesn't make you look ashy if you're darker skinned like me. The one I use is from Sephora for 18 bucks but any translucent powder should do the trick but beware of the ones that actually make you ashy (like the N.Y.C. brand sold in drugstores...NEVER AGAIN)


4. Cargo Lipstick in "Eve Pinky"

This was a Christmas gift from my bestie and the boldest lipstick I own which is why I love it so. All my other lip colors are pretty neutral but this one pops. When I put it on, I definitely feel a bit "Nicki Minaj-ish" and then I break out in my own rendition of "Super Bass"...ok not really but yea the lipstick is cool. Now, I bought it from Sephora but I think the color has been discontinued....sorry! But here are some other selections at Cargo's website. And also a picture of me wearing the lipstick on my Tumblr!


5. Caramex

Ok so this one isn't as glamorous as the others but definitely necessary! Caramex is, in my opinion, better than Blistex and chapstick and just about any other lip balm out there! I think I like it so much but it leaves your lips tingling so you know for sure its working. I use it to prime my lips before lipstick application which is especially important for matte lipsticks. I have two in my purse and one spare one at home...yes that's how obsessed I am! Caramex is sold in drugstores in tubes, pots and as a twist up chapstick. There's also cherry flavor!
