Hanky Panky Lace Band Low Riders: Chances are, all the girls
you know know Hanky Panky; heck, chances are, it’s all they wear! At the very
least, some of you know me and those who do, know that these underpants (yes
underpants. I hate the word thong, panty, or even underwear. Color me prude)
are the one and only underpants any woman should own. They’re comfortable,
stylish, comfortable, flirty, comfortable, and virtually seamless. Plus,
they’re like candy- they come in tons of different colors, and when I buy some,
I find I can’t buy just one. Before I know it I’ve spent 100 dollars on underpants.
Yes, they’re a bit pricey, but I can assure you, they’re worth every penny...and, you can find them at Wink.
Chapstick: Or, more specifically, Chapstick Medicated Lip Balm. Before everyone freaks out, no, I do not have anything weird on my lips that needs to be medicated. I am a chapstick addict, and of the several flavors, the medicated one tastes the best to me. It also has SPF, and the robin’s egg blue packaging is cute. Well not really, but the chapstick is a hard sell. It’s something you just have to try for yourself. I really do wish I was one of those chic women who could do a pop of pink or a swish of red on my lips, but I was lucky enough to inherit my mom’s waspishly thin lips, so for now, no color is the best color. (Love you mom!)
Nars Orgasm Blush: When I do wear makeup to enhance my chapstick pucker, I love anything Nars. I love the packaging. It makes me feel glamorous and like I know what I’m doing make-up wise (I am neither glamorous, nor do I know what I’m doing make-up wise) I live for their eye shadow, buying completely impractical shades that I’ll never wear, but boy do they look pretty in my make-up drawer! The one thing I do swear by though is the Nars blush in Orgasm. Everyone loves this blah blah blah, but I really do love it. It really is as pretty as it sounds (?) and it is one of three articles of make-up I apply every morning.
Shu Uemera Eyelash Curler: The other thing on my face I’m religious about is my eye lashes. I desperately want to take the ($300) plunge into eye lash extensions, but as my means are slight, I get to stick with good old fashioned mascara – I use three different drug store brands daily. However, to make my eyelashes look B.E.A.U tiful, I swear by my eyelash curler. It looks a little like a torture device, but if you’re careful, the results are amazing. Just be careful though. My sister Hope once cut off half her lashes due to lack of diligence (she didn’t check to make sure the obligatory eyelash curler pad was in properly) and while the chop was laughable, it scared me straight, and from that point forward, I took extra care in curling.
Alex & Isabelle Hair Ties: I have very thick hair. Every time I go for a cut, my hair stylist informs me of this. Thank you! I had no idea! All jokes aside, I constantly tote an arsenal of hair tamers, including butterfly clips, bobby pins, and hair ties. However, I don’t dare wear the drug store brands – I am a fashionista after all! I love my Alex & Isabelle hair ties. They are so cute, they come in so many colors, and they hold my hair so well, they’re hard to resist. I think I have 40 in my bag at any given time, but prior to Wink carrying these chic ties, my worst nightmare was getting caught somewhere without a means to tame the mane. I am happy to say that I now have a hair tie at all times.
GTL: No, not the
Eberjey Nightgowns: I grew up seeing my mom wearing night gowns. I thought it was weird and kind of dated, something I figured I would never do. That was until my adorable (and most favorite “thing”) boyfriend bought me the prettiest night gown for Christmas. Besides taking the hint – I get it! These night gowns are so breezy and comfortable and cute! I stocked up! They have all sorts of styles, and as I’m not the va-va-voom type, I go for the sweeter ones in cotton (I leave the leather and lace to Britney. Spears. DUH!)
Jeopardy: Alex Trebek is hands down one of my favorite people on this planet. I love trivia too. And I LOVE the weird awkward moment after the first commercial break, when Alex interviews the contestants, and they have to share interesting tid-bits about the lives. And Trebek has to pretend like he cares. And no one does condescension better than when Alex corrects a contestant’s answer, complete with perfect Spanish accent or stellar historical knowledge. That guy kills me.
Fashion Magazines: Every month I get 11 magazines delivered. I live for their arrival: Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, Women’s Health, Self, Shape, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Allure. The only one I don’t get is W. And that’s only because I can’t stand how physically large the magazine is.
Lululemon Tanks: Since becoming a major exercise fanatic (?) I've been treating myself to these amazing tanks. I never really got women who dressed up to go to the gym, myself being the kinda girl to favor oversize shirts and slouchy shorts, BUT these tanks, along with Lululemon's amazing running shorts, have made me a total convert. I now gym in color coordinated, sassy little outfits. It might sound trite, but the better you look, the better you feel.
Godiva Truffles: When I'm not looking fly in my gym outfits, I'm hanging on the couch, eating Godiva truffles by the boxfull. Every box has a hand selected truffle variety. True, different flavors pop up every now and then, but I always go back to the old faithfuls- coconut, key lime, almond, dark dark chocolate, and vanilla cream. Delicious.
Blue Moon Beer: I love beer. I love Blue Moon beer in the summer. It's fresh, it's got a cool name, it's from Colorado (just like me!) Seriously though, nothing makes me happier during the summer than a delicious hot dog and a really cold Blue Moon. Perfect.
