Wonder if I could fry an egg on the sidewalk?

Hello, Lovelies

This is what I need today a tall glass of Ice Tea!

Summer has only officially been here for a few days but un-officially it's felt like summer since April here in the Mile High State (Maybe that's why, Cause' we are so high up and close to the SUN.lol) anyways the last week it's been 100 plus degrees Fahrenheit everyday, Which to me is just WAY to hot.
Dont get me wrong I enjoy a nice summer day but when it's this hot out it's just so hard to enjoy.
Also with the 10+ fires raging in my state every time you walk out of the house you are just breathing in smoke & lots of it. Depending on the day and which way the wind is blowing it can be just horrible.
I pray they have them under control soon and that we get rain, It's just so sad :(


Right now as I'm writing this here post I should be outside watering the garden but it's just so hot out there that I just don't want too.
But at some point I guess I really should otherwise it's just going to get worse.

So what has everyone been up to in all this heat.
How have you been enjoying the weather?

I'd love to hear fun tips on beating this heat.


Enjoy your Tuesday wherever you live & love

Summer Reading List

Hey, Lovelies


So recently I've been reading alot and plan to try and do so through the summer.

I'm the type of person who likes to read a few books at a time.
Depending upon my mood, I sometimes like to read a different book.
As of right know I'm reading.

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks



&

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris


I've always loved all the films that were based on Nicholas Sparks books so a few months back I bought all 16 of his books on Ebay.
Thus far I've read:
A Walk To Remember
The Lucky One
and
The Note Book

And so far I've loved them all. Sparks is becoming one of my favorite authors.
This summer I pan to read as many of his as I can.

As for Dead Until Dark (The Southern Vampire Mysteries)
I bought a box set at a local Garage sale for $5 dollars so I thought I'd give it a try.
I've only read a little bit of it so far, but I'm liking it. I haven't got hooked on it yet. But I'm going to give it a try still.

So as of now that is my summer reading list. This could change in the coming weeks, i just might add another book or books to the list.


I'd love to know what you're reading or is on your list.

Urban Decay No longer Animal Friendly?!?!



Yep, You read that title correct.

Urban Decay known for it's cruelty free products yesterday announced that they will no longer be standing by their mission statement.
They have decided to sell their products in China which now means that China can take Urban Decay products and test them on animals.

  Urban Decay is letting China use their brand to cause' harm to helpless animals.

As the Urban Decay website states that for 16 years they have been committed against the fight of animal testing, But with this recent news's I do not know how this can be true. Just because your company isn't testing the product on the animals but letting a third party test your products on animals in China is just wrong.


If I could tell the head of UD who has made this choice.
Id tell them:

"I have been a loyal fan of Urban Decay for almost 5 years now. I loved your products for the quality of the product and the fact that the company stood for the rights of animals. And didn't test nor used animal bi-products in their ingredients. Now that you will be letting China test your product on animals I will no longer be purchasing from you in the future once I run out of what I have already bought. This is very sad because I loved your company, Until I heard this VERY sad news!"

It's like Paul Watson saying "I think I'll start selling Whale Meat."



I posted the above on their Facebook page last night, So hopefully someone will see it.
I read a post on their that they lost over 7,000 likes last night. Which hopefully that will show them that what they did was not a good choice and that their loyal fans are not going to stand behind them on this.

In the end this company will have to live with this decision, And one that will lose thousands of loyal customers. To support animal testing of their brand by the Chinese government. All just to make more money.


What do you all think?

Will you still buy from Urban Decay?

Please share your thoughts with me in the comments below.

Rose Gold In Fashion & Giveaway ENDED

Hello, Lovelies


Lately I have been seeing alot of rose gold in fashion.

And I'm loving it! :)


I've never been much of a yellow gold fan, I've always been a Rose or White kinda gal.

WINNER IS Simona of Italy!
I love Rose gold watches, I think they just look so nice and famine.

Michael Kors & Marc By Marc Jacobs both make beautiful Rose Gold watches.
But alot of us can't afford or either don't want to spend $200 and up on a watch.
My Mom bought a very pretty one at Kohls which I've kinda claimed cause she doesn't wear it much. hehehe ;)
I think it cost around $15.00 a steal I think for the quality.
I don't know if they still sell the watch because it was bought late last year. But if you're interested in it maybe check your local store.

In honor of all this fabulous Rose Gold jewelry & fashion, I thought I'd offer a giveaway.

Cause' we all love giveaways, I know I sure do.
Winning stuff is way more fun than buying.

Dragonfly Kisses Jewelry Rose Gold Swarovski Crystal & Matte Onyx Bracelet $20.00
