The Friday Files

Hello, dear friends.  That was quite a week!  

The Friday Files is a new series that I am starting that basically covers some stuff I want to talk about, but I don't have enough material for a full post.  If you like it - great.  If not - not to worry - I'll probably forget about it by next week.

gob·smacked

My new favorite word.

Exactly how I felt when I turned on the News on Wed. AM.

End of my political commentary.

Last weekend, the Mister dragged me to see Hacksaw Ridge.  I was semi-gobsmacked by the fact that I actually liked it and found it to be a very inspirational flick.  The battle scenes are brutal, though.  I think that I am suffering from PTSD as a result of some of its gruesome, raw moments.  But I must say, this sentimental true story is nothing less than mesmerizing.

If it weren't for Tom Hanks, I would have given this film a thumbs-down.  The Mister loved ti.

To all my friends who recommended Goliath, thank you.  The Mister and I are enjoying it tremendously.  One more episode to go and then on to The Crown.

Jane Iredale Circle Delete Concealer

If you have read this blog for awhile, you know that I am a huge fan of Jane Iredale's foundation.  I have mentioned it here, here, and here.  I also am a big fan of her concealer and just realized that I never talked about it before.  You can achieve your custom color by using the duo of creams.  It hides dark circles and does not accentuate wrinkles laugh lines.  It also lasts me at least a year.  And I look 20 years younger.  OK, that's not true.  Just wanted to make sure that you were listening.  And no, I am not a paid sponsor, just a supermodel trophy wife sharing her beauty secrets.

Great minds think alike.  I called Sista the other day to tell her that the straightening brush that I ordered arrived and I loved it.  She told me that she ordered one too and was waiting for its arrival.  She's probably just saying that.  I don't blame her - she wants to be just like me. 


Anyway, I love this electric brush.  It does a miraculous job on getting rid of the frizzies.

Are you a fan of Suits?  It's one of our favorite shows. I've always thought that Meghan Markel is one of the most beautiful actresses on TV.  When I heard that she and Prince Harry were a couple, I thought that it was a match made in royal heaven.   And then when I read the letter that the Prince's Communication Secretary wrote to the press, it proved that Prince Harry is truly is a knight in shining armor.

I am almost finished listening to The Woman in Cabin 10.  It's very good so far, but I am going to reserve my opinion until I finish it because the ending can make or break a book.  I'll keep you posted.

These are two of Sista's favorite websites.

Everything But the House calls itself the premier estate sale market place.

Chairish is the place where design lovers buy and sell.



Until next time...
