Friday, The Best Day of the Week!

Happy Friday!

Friday is the best day of the week don’t you think? I had a busy and fun Friday planned. I had a 9:30am conference call with a client who lives in Florida. Turns out she had been in Maryland for the last two months! Don’t people go to the beach in the summer? Due to the fact that my brother lives on the panhandle, as does my client, I know it has rained there all summer, just like here in the ATL. I think she had better summer weather up north then we did!

After my appointment I met my girls Rebecca and Devra for an early lunch at Seasons 52. We shared a flat bread and then I had a caprese like salad and a side of caesar broccoli. It was all very good. The highlight of the lunch was when the waiter spilled unsweet tea all over Rebecca. This is the second time I have eaten there where the waiter had knocked a glass of tea or wine all over someone at my table. I think it’s me.

Next we hit the mall where we went to Lulu Lemon. I have a great yoga mat I bought from them earlier Spring. I thought I would be crazy and buy a color other than black. I got a light blue. Well, it is now stained from when I roll it up. The back of the mat has stained the front with light yellow lines. I can’t get them off and it looks like crap. One of my yoga teachers is a Lulu Lemon Ambassador and I asked her about when I saw her at class on Wednesday. She told me to take it back, which I mentioned to the salesperson. Guess who got her a brand new black yoga mat! This girl, that’s who!! I love my mat. Lulu Lemon just got a star in my book!

Next we hit the make-up counter at the Van Maur department store. This was the first time I have ever been at Van Maur and found it very clean, open and the people very nice. Rebecca said she thought we would get good service there and she was right. Our mission, get some help for my eyebrows!! Readers! They are falling out. Right now I look like I got them waxed and then went crazy randomly plucking them. Not good.

We found a very helpful saleswoman at the Estee Lauder counter. We first tried what looked like blonde mascara and Rebecca stated that it looked terrible. The girl was right. It did. Next our saleswoman hooked me with a great eyebrow pencil in light blonde. The pencil was much more natural and I even think I can apply it properly.

I think my brows look pretty good. After we finished the eyebrows we looked at eyeshadows and nail polish, fun stuff. I got some of both (plus free two free sample), Rebecca got eyeshadow and Devra some mascara. It’s fun to play with makeup!

Devra had to head back to work after we finished up at Van Maur. Rebecca and I then headed White House Black Market. I wanted to get some solid colored shirts. Patterns tend to clash with my new fancy head coverings. I found three tops, two on sale, and a pair of slacks. I got 5% off my entire bill (I have the Black Book) plus an additional $25 off my bill. Woot! Woot!Lastly we hit Macy’s. Rebecca looked at shoes and then looked for a sporty rain coat. It was a bust on both.

Today was great. I was worn out by the time I picked up The Boy from the bus stop but I had a great time. Thank you again for helping me out Rebecca and Devra! My brows are looking good and I thank you for that!

  1. Glad you had a great day with the girls. I kept just enough of my brows so that I had guidelines to fill in. I read once to make the pencil strokes “backwards” Supposed to look more natural It did seem to work. What an adventure it all is, huh? How about your lashes. Are they hanging around ?

    • I hope I keep enough to use as a guideline. I have seen a few lashes on my Mac keyboard but so far most of them are hanging on.

  2. Your eyebrows look good if by some chance the eye lashes go see about false ones. You look beautiful glad you have such great friends. Love you Momee
