prettifying prop: clip on fringe

hiya dollfaces! it's good friday, but not so good for annie as i have to work... :( this also makes me extra sad because i had planned to enter NV Beauty's bring your A game contest today (my only day off)... but i was backed into a corner and asked to work by my new manager. bummer! next time Nicole... promise!

onto the topic of the day! do you ever just feel blah somedays? those days, you know, you just wanna shake things up?! it gets boring looking at the same face, same clothes yada yada... day in and day out! am i right dolls?!

when this need for change happens we can wear a bold new eyeliner or that fire engine red lipstick we've been saving for a rainy day... or we can be super drastic and cut and dye our hair!! well lately i have been thinking of cutting my bangs... i always tend to do this right be for it gets warm and i know they will irritate the cr*p out of me... not to mention, cause my forehead to break out. so the bangs idea was nixed for now, but i thought of a fun way to curb the craving... clip on fringe! why not fake it?!

i went onto etsy and found a little company that made them from human hair and they were only $8!! SCORE! the only worry i had was would the black match my hair? but they were so reasonably priced i said "what the heck?" i am so glad i got them. the color matches perfectly! although clipping them in took some getting used to. everything takes practice though doesn't it? they are made to be sideswept and that's perfect for me! i have super thick hair, but whenever i cut bangs i can never get them to be as thick as i want so these are great and so much fun. have a look...

** goofy faces alert **

presenting my new friend

place it right where you want it, clip it in... and go from thisto this

it's not drastic, but it is noticeable when i want to give my look alittle more vavavoom!

i hope you have a wonderful easter dollfaces! xoxo

etsy rave... i'm in LOVE!

hello dolls! a couple of months ago i decided to make a move toward more natural body products... at the same time i was introduced to lush and their products and, i have to say, i wasn't in love with many of the lush scents. i decided to consult etsy because i knew i could find yummy scents and homemade products for affordable prices. the bonus was that i was buying from real people!!

after hours of searching i decided to a lovely shop at ariel's secret garden i fell in love with the variety of scents and products available (including lush dupes). after reading her reviews i picked out a few goodies...

the pink smiley face goody is the luxury rock my world solid lotion bar (rock star dupe)... it came it the yellow tin (how awesome)... i use this bar everyday... smells like candy and is ultra moisturizing. the other circular goody in the upper left is the lime eucalyptus cold process olive oil soap bar. i used this up super fast because i couldn't get enough of the scent and the lather was so rich! it also came with a sample of another soap called honey i washed the kids (p.s. YUMMY) and a cute heart pendant. so sweeeeeet! i felt really happy with my purchases and also felt really valued and special as a customer... and that feeling doesn't come around very often. so, after i had used up all of the lime eucalyptus soap i went back for more.

so last week i placed another order...

cut to last night... i come home after a lovely cocktail (or 3) with a friend to find my new order waiting for me! and it was like christmas! first of all my goodies were housed in this lovely box...

and inside were my goodies!

a closer look...

cupcake bath bomb bubble bar scented in honey i washed the kids (lush dupe). how CUTE!! and i absolutely LOVE this scent!!! i will definitely be purchasing more of these cupcakes because they make wonderful girlie gifts!


peppermint lavender cold process soap... smells divine and i'm so excited to try this out. when it comes to soaps i have two questions... does it lather well? and does it dry my skin out? the answers are YES and NO! their soaps are amazing and lather up so much! i tried this this morning and it didn't disappoint! another winner. and bonus points... it's about the size of my hand! score!!

these were my gifts with purchase (lol)...

my gifts with purchase include the southern sunshine lotion bar, lemon biscotti soap sample and a colorful resin necklace charm.

i also had to throw in this pic too due to the ridiculous cuteness factor! this is the southern sunshine lotion bar... which smells lemony fresh!

so please try her store! my experience has been nothing but positive! from the price, the product, the variety, the timely shipping... there is nothing bad to say about sherrilenett!! i will, absolutely, be back for more... probably sooner rather than later! ha.

do you have any etsy stores to rave about?
