I love mascara, I love the way some mascaras make my lashes look. Long and luxurious or full and dramatic, I love mascara. There are so many out there to get so many mascaras to choose from it’s sometimes hard to pick which one and how much you can spend. But as I have learned from using drugstore mascaras and designer, sometimes you need to spend more for hat you want. I used to do Mary Kay back in the day and used Avon cosmetics. I loved getting that tube of mascara in my stockings( thanks ma) at Christmas and in my Easter basket. The products were good but stopped being good for me as I developed eye allergies to certain mascaras. So, I switched to drug store brands for awhile they worked as well.

Dress up or dress down on a day off?
When it is your day off from work how do you dress? Do you wear sweat pants and a tshirt? Do you dress to the 9s? How about when you go out with coworkers, or change from work?
Well,for me even on my day off I dress as best as I can. I love wear adorable heels and dresses. Or, I wear adorable shirts and jeans.

But, I like dressing up and feeling good about myself. Nothing is a better self esteem booster than my cute pink shirt dress and a pair of white strappy sandals.

It is very easy to steal a very small, but expensive diamond from a store or an individual without anyone noticing. If you are running a diamond jewelry store, you know you need to have very tight security and you will need to watch your goods like a hawk as they can come up missing and it will not be as obvious as you would think. Keeping the diamonds you sell close to your chest and secure is the best way to not take any losses that may result in you going out of business.
