The best part about my Friday is that I got paid today!!! And the office is very, very quiet, completely different from how it’s been this summer 🙂 Now I’m going to see if I can pick up a couple more polishes from the Vintage Vixen collection from Sally’s Beauty today now (ChG is currently $5 at China Glaze until the end of the month!)

Riding my bike to work in the sun, getting hit by a car, flying through the air and hitting the pavement WITHOUT A SCRATCH. I realized I need to be a stunt woman. Funky eyeshadow would help.

I saved a dog that was locked in a hot car in 98 degrees in Florida – I called the police from the mall & stood there until they arrived – Hopefully they arrested the guy.

Enter me! What a beautiful color! Reminds me of the islands and pina coladas on the beach under a palm tree.
The best part of my Friday is knowing I can sleep in tomorrow and leisurely enjoy being woken up by my daughter with a huge toothless grin and twinkles in her eyes as she anticipates the fun and adventures ahead.
Happy Friday everyone!

Sharon M Avatar

The best part of my Friday is not having to work today! It’s my “Sunday”, and this work week was very stressful so I needed the break. 🙂 Unfortunately I don’t get to play with eye makeup today due to an eye infection, which has been less than fun to deal with. If anyone knows of a good way to sterilize makeup (especially the pressed eyeshadows) I’d love to hear it… I’m going to the drugstore soon to pick up baby shampoo and alcohol to start sterilizing and cleaning, brushes, makeup and all.

Thank you for the giveaway, Christine! 🙂

The BEST part of this Friday was spending my last vacay day chatting on the teli for 2 hrs to my high school bestie who’s been in LA (from CT) for the past 14 years. Then hanging with my sis and 2 year old niece playing baseball while her 2 week old sister slept in the porch with her “Meema”.What a pretty, perfect day. Girls DEF rule, but its always great to have that guy friend to remind you he loves you too!!

Melissa C. Avatar

THe best part about my friday: So I work at Target part time to help pay for college. The Target I work at has a produce section where I work specifically, I’m completely oblivious to the rest of the store. So when this rather frail older woman comes up to me asking for ice packs and kitchen gloves I go, “Uhh. . .”. I go with her to look for the items, we manage to find the gloves but ice packs were a little trickier.
When we finally find them with help from the pharmacist she tells me, “Thank you so much, you’re such a smart girl.”
I wish every customer was like that. xD
