Hard Candy Cosmetics Summer Sale!

(This is not a paid post)

Hard Candy Cosmetics has been one of my favorite makeup brands since they first debuted in 1995 with their Vintage nail polish. The brand is mostly geared towards teenagers, but my kooky and girly self just can’t get enough of their pretty shades and fun packaging.

Today, while checking my email inbox I received a message from the brand stating that all the products on their website are 50% off. At first I thought to myself “is this message fake?” It was in my junk folder, so to be positive I pointed my browser toward hardcandy.com and sure enough their having a summer sale with EVERYTHING 50% off. I’m so happy, I already purchased three things and only spent $20 dollars with shipping. If I could spend more money I would probably buy the whole damn website! I hope the sale last for a little bit because I really want to get their perfume - it smells a lot like Aquolina Pink Sugar, but with a spicy kick to it, and $21 isn’t very much for a 1.7 oz bottle of perfume.

I seriously love this brand, and although every thing’s on sale I hope their not going out of business or anything. Yet, I can’t see happening since their a division of Urban Decay Cosmetics, but who knows…

Babble, babble…

So I’m all by my lonesome tonight. The boyfriend had to go to his work dinner party that they have to attend once a month. I think it’s rather stupid that I can’t go, but it’s no spouses I guess so WHATEV. At least something good comes out of the dinner - he gets his bonus, and with that he’s paying all of the rent. I usually pay half the rent but he told me he’d pay it all so I could save up spending money for when I visit home. It’s not really working out because I haven’t gone to work in two weeks. That’s the problem with being able to work whenever you want, you don’t go. Well… at least I don’t. I hate my job though, and I’m trying to avoid a certain person. Whoever said don’t get involved with a person you work with is sooo right. If I see that person when I go back to work, and they come up to me and say “oh, I was just joking around” I think I may karate their face. And, I’m aware no one knows who or what I’m talking about so I’ll just stop this little rant.

So, the boyfriend is also paying for my ticket to go up north. I’m so excited, I haven’t seen my ma, sister, or my little nieces in over a year. I miss them so much. Really, I miss living in Michigan, I feel like it’s still my home. And Florida… well, it’s like I’m on a permanent vacation that I’m having no fun on. I think I’m an idiot though; because I’ve decided to ride a bus up there! Haha, I’m gonna be on the thing for a day and a half! I know it’s stupid that I’m not flying when I could be there in two hours, but I’ve never been on a plane before and I don’t think I could handle the first time by myself. I even read this and still don’t feel good about a plane… so, a bus it is! Maybe some sweet-awesome 80 year old will sit next to me and tell me their life story.

It started storming earlier, and because James wasn’t home and I hate being by myself in storms I took a drive up to Target and Marshalls to do some browsing. I got a few things at Target but the only thing worth mentioning is the Orchid. I think they’re such beautiful flowers and I’ve been wanting one for awhile. I guess I had been putting off buying one because I’ve heard a lot of people say that their hard to keep alive. So what? I suck at keeping any flower alive. I’m sure it can’t be that hard, plus there’s a lot of websites with care tips.

At Marshalls I bought four books and I only paid $14. I’ve never thought of looking for books there, but it turns out they have a good collection (if you like “how to” books) and at decent prices. I got: Campbell’s 1-2-3 Dinner, Easy as apple pie, The Lovely Bones, and The Great Husband Hunt. The novels will come to good use on the bus, as long as I don’t get car sick… I couldn’t believe the pie book was only $2 dollars, and with this cooking kick I’m on I could have crapped my pants. They had a lot of good books; some about interior design, bartending, lots of cook books, memoirs, and a lot of other stuff. I probably found the only novels they had, well…except for a Harry Potter book but I’m not a fan.

OK…I’ll stop boring you now. If anyone read all of this I give you props for dealing with my randomness.
