Beauty Haul! Jury Duty!

Hi everyone!! Do you like my new blog layout? : ) My friend Lisa created it for me! She made it where I can change out the header photos too. Sweet, huh?! Thank you Lisa!

I haven't had a chance to blog every since Thanksgiving break happened!

I served on jury duty for the past two days as well! I've been getting up at 6:30AM to get ready. I normally wake up at 9AM (the perks of being self employed, I know. :P) Jury duty was such an experience. I felt like I won the lottery today when I got dismissed early!

You never really appreciate how much freedom you actually have until you have to sit hours upon hours in the juror assembling room. Imagine yourself waiting at the DMV on an airplane for 8 hours!  That was my experience on the first day.  You just sit there in a room of 100 people waiting until your name is called over an intercom. lol You're then given a number, maybe a questionnaire, and grouped for a judge's jury panel. I won't get into too much detail. I don't want to spoil it for you who haven't had a chance to serve. lol

 I sure did learn to bring a phone charger and some magazines on the second day!

 I had a pretty relaxing Thanksgiving break. We spent it with his side of the family. We had 2 house warming parties and Thanksgiving lunch and dinner at two different places. lol Then we did so much Black Friday shopping! I had a lot of fun with the Tran's, but I can't wait to spend Christmas and the New Year with my family in Michigan. I miss my Mom and Aunt's home cooking!

It feels SO good to be home! I also loved coming home to some packages at the front door!

I always get home sick after 4 or 5 days of being away. I just love the comforts of home. :)

My newest beauty find is called the Beauty Box 5. 

 

Website: https://www.beautybox5.com/

Price: $12/month

Beauty Box 5 is pretty comparable to the Birchbox & Glossybox based on the number of beauty products you receive each month.

Everything is packaged neatly, and beautifully. (That's always appreciated!)

Sephora Make Up For Ever Gift with Purchase!

There's an AMAZING gift with purchase at Sephora right now with any $35 purchase for Sephora VIB's!
I absolutely love the HD Powder, Aqua Eyeliner, Lab Shine Lip Gloss, and Smoky Lash Mascara!
If you haven't tried any of them yet, this is a great opportunity to try. : )
I'm sure most of you VIB's got the e-mail already, but in case you missed it, you can get this offer by shopping online. For VIB's you can print out the coupon in your e-mail to shop in stores.
The code is "MUSTHAVE." There's also 8% Cashback if you shop through Ebates!

Here's my Ebates referral link for those who aren't already on the Ebates (if you join, you get $5 as well): http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=Cj2nyiuF5KsHgC7pzzcxUA%3D%3D

I already racked up $148 and change in Cashback through Ebates..and I don't always remember to shop through Ebates. Minh uses Ebates as well for our businesses since we buy a lot of office supplies from Staples, and Office Max. It's great! I believe you get your cashback check every quarter. I've only received one so far.

It's so simple to use Ebates, all you have to do is search the store you want to shop through and click on the link to the website and Ebates cashback savings is automatically at work!

I already ordered the YSL foundation I've been wanting to get. :)
I'm glad I waited!
There's also free ground shipping with orders over $50.

Happy shopping!

DSK Billboard & Eki's Bows!

Hey everyone,

A lot has been going on these past few days in DSK World.
I went to Auburn Hills, MI (Home of the Palace where the Detroit Pistons play ball).
I'm going to be attending Thomas Cooley Law School this fall, and I went to take a tour of the school since my friend Szu, a Master of Law student at Cooley had a photoshoot that day.
Yes there is a degree beyond J.D.

Thomas Cooley Law School, Auburn Hills
(deer in Cooley's back yard!)

Well..they were missing a person, and as I am a 1L (1st year Law) Freshman Fall '09 they put me in the picture after I signed a release form. Cooley is going to be using our picture for billboard advertisements that you see along the high way, lol. Website, etc. So that's pretty exciting!

Meet my friend Szu
My golden shadow car, lol
He had to take his jacket off everytime we got in the car, haha
Szu taking it off
Szu, Lawyer, Master of Law Student, 25 single, haha

AIM: tnszu

He's never had a gf..VERY girl shy.

Loves foreign films, Lolita the movie, and Lady Gaga
One of the assitants to the photorapher (who took care of Szu) said that he had a perfect body hahaha I was laughing SO HARD.

He plays volleyball for exercise, I think one a week or something.
I need to play volleyball now.

I've never really had a professional photographer take my picture before, this guy had like 4 big ass cameras, 3 assistants! They had to fix the folds in our clothes..that's how intense it was, the guy was also very picky, but really nice. One of the ladies said that these will be one of the best pictures we'll ever have taken. So that was pretty cool.

Then we went to MGM Casino for lunch, since I have lots of comps, then we went to Somerset to do some shopping!! Szu was all about Brook's Brothers and me LV. LOL we were LV, and he asked me to help him pick out something for a (girl) friend who just graduated law school and passed the bar. HAHA I was like get her a LV Speedy!! He was like "I duno her style," I said.."there is no girl who will not appreciate an LV Speedy." NUFF SAID!

And he takes it off again!

Oh by the way, he's my new Tax Lawyer..gotta pay that business tax ladies!
We don't want the gov to come after us with a fine, now do we??
Szu's so fun!
We have the same shopping pace
He taught me random law facts, and I taught him about Prada, Balenciaga, and LV

It was a really fun day!
Time for DSK's Haul!
(Note I live 2 and 1/2 hours away from Somerest Mall, and Sephora!!)
Nars Sin/Casino (I was like..OOOOOOH CASINO!)
So I didnt' buy Laguna, the MA said Casino it's for darker skin and I could pull it off this summer
I had a Nars craving! I also bought more Rosebud Lip Balm, I actually don't own the original, gonna give this one a try cause apparently it's the best at night time, said Nu Nu Doll
My Sephora Mini Haul

MUFE #92 e/s

So I had to try it, can't wait to post pictures with all this stuff on!!

It's my first MUFE e/s!
Then I went into Lacoste, and bought more headbands than show above. lol
to match my lacoste polo's hahaha I will look like a 4 year old.
I have a lot of polo's and few lacoste, my boobs are a big fat right now to fit them nicely.
Still working on it!

I bought some for my sister and friends too (not shown b/c I will not ruin a surprise!)
2 belts, one for me and one for the lil sis, and a V-necklace shirt
I love AX t-shirts, I have a bunch of them, I always buy when I'm traveling, I don't know why.
I used to wear Medium, now I wear Large...
You would think I grow out of AX literally haha jk

Oh, my Chi straightner from Beauty Choice came in, it was only $62 with shipping

I used a coupon code CHI10 for 10% off..hhaha it says global beauty network,inc..must be advertising no wonder..and it doesn't have heat control!
