Lisa Frank Status!

I don't know why but this morning I woke up thinking that Summer was going to be over, like, next week. But thanks to Google magic I now know that there are still 29 days left of Summer. Which to every girl out there, that means there's only 29 days left to wear all those ridiculously bright neon clothes/ nail polish/ eyeshadows/ frilly shirts/ cut off shorts & other crazy cool shit you spent all Summer stocking up on because in less than a month you get to put it all away for Fall. This also means I'm going to have to start DOING my hair for work and not have that "beachy wave" look aka "I went to bed with my hair wet and just threw some mousse in it this morning cause I slept in" look.

Damnit.

Anyways, beware Phoenix... starting tomorrow I'm going full force on the end of Summer fun looks!

No, I'm not a construction worker wearing this neon orange & yellow.

No, I did not rob a homeless person of their cut off shorts and shirts. 

No, I am no longer a part of the Lisa Frank Club with my bright pink & blue nail polishes. 

I promise you I own at least one brush and I know how to use it.

No, I'm not wearing these neon colors so drivers can see me because I plan on running at night. 

I promise I do not crimp my hair. It's called a DEEP WAVER!

Oh yeah, that "perfume" I've been wearing the last few months is called: Sport Performance by Banana Boat. It's my sexy Summer scent.

No, I do not think I am a gladiator in these sandals.

And last but not least, I promise I'm not always listening to cheesy pop/ rock songs and sippin' on cocktails by the pool acting like I'm in the next LMFAO music video. 

So consider yourselves warned! I hope the rest of you rock the shiznit out of your Summer wardrobe and beauty looks for the next 29 days.

Exes & Ohs

I guess

I'm not the only one currently obsessing over eyeliner looks right now.

PLEASE SANTA!!!!!!!! 

I will die a happy woman :)

Beauty Genie Where Are You?

Recently I had a coworker ask me if I do my own hair everyday and I was very flattered by her compliment because every morning I wake up and feel like I can't do anything new or cute with this mane without taking more than 20 minutes. Anything after 15 minutes I get annoyed and give up; kinda like how I look at my closet full of clothes and still say I have NOTHING to wear. ugh. I need to stop hitting that snooze button and waking up late... Anyways, so I realized I shouldn't be so whinny about my hair if a few people have noticed and commented how they like my different hairstyles throughout the week.

Which brings me to my Beauty Genie! What is a part of your normal beauty routine that you dread doing and wish you could have someone do for you? If I were granted ONE beauty wish for the rest of my life, it would be that I could have my own personal hairstylist at my beck and call. Whether it's to do a cute braid to my hair or actually cut/dye my hair, POOF Beauty Genie there!!

P.S. I guess this is a subtle hint to my future husband  - you should start saving now!

P.S.S. On another hair note, I was reading Glamour's Top 20 Most Memorable TV Hairstyles that included Daisy Duke from Dukes of Hazzard... WTF?! She has hair???? I thought she was just a set of walking ass cheeks.

Eyebrows

Hi, my name is Gina and I am obsessed with eyebrows. It is said that eyebrows frame your face and are the windows to your soul... That last part is a bit of a stretch, but I definitely agree that they frame your face.

When I'm not doing the eyebrow dance, sometimes I like to put my index fingers over my eyebrows and see what I would look like without my brows; it's really creepy how different you look. Or sometimes, I use my index finger and pull up the skin in between my brows and it makes me look like I'm extremely worried about something. Go ahead, give it a shot then check yourself out in the mirror. Why so seriousssss?

Anyways, I love it when I see a set of well groomed, FULL brows. I mentally high five that person or usually just tell them I love their brows. Not too long ago I asked my sister if she thinks Latisse (the serum to make your eyelashes grow) would work on my brows, that could work right?? No? Whatever. This fall I'm bringin' sexy back and growing some bushy brows while strutting around in my red lipstick with my lady balls in full effect! I'm thinking I want to shape them like my two girl crushes for eyebrows: Jennifer Connelly and Penelope Cruz, I lust for these eyebrows!

 

Men, don't feel left out! I am a sucker for a full set of brows on a guy too. There is nothing sexier to me than a man with full eyebrows... who also opens my beer.

siiiiigh....

When are you going to come in my life and sweep me off my feet Josh Hartnett so we can make bushy eye brow babies?

Lady Balls... Do you have them?

Lady Balls- being brave enough to step out of your comfort zone and do something you normally wouldn't, with complete confidence.
i.e. "I wanted to wear that bold red shade of lipstick to work this morning, but I didn't have the Lady Balls to."

That's my definition for it anyways. You gals should bring out your Lady Balls at least once a week!
Just make sure you're not talking to your coworkers about your lady balls or lack thereof when the President of your company walks by =/

Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy!!

Happy Friday everyone!! In preparation for my upcoming Chicago Trip NEXT THURSDAY, I am making it a point to perfect the art of the Fishtail Braid this weekend. Yes, it's THAT fabulous that I've used capitalized letters for it, like a National Monument. I've watched the how-to videos on YouTube I dunno, about 23 times and I still can't get it right. But with the weather forecast of humid and hot plus rain, (Hello swamp ass!) my hair will have to be in braids and updo's for my whole trip. I've also got to remember to buy some adult diapers too for asorbing the moisture...

Anyways, now brace yourself... here is a picture of the sexiest braid you ever laid your eyes on:

Am I right or am I really super right? Ok, blow dry your thongs now ladies. I'm sure it won't be hard to pull off the messy look with all the humidity in the air, but it's going to be a bit of a challenge from keeping the top of my head looking like a lion's mane since I've been spoiled with dry Arizona weather. So if no one hears from me this weekend, don't worry, I am most likely alive just sitting on my bathroom counter upping my chances for Arthritis at the age of 35.
