Today there was another clue given by Lainey pointing to George Clooney being "Chocolate" from the blind "Cuba & Chocolate".
You can read about the original blind here http://laineyblinds.blogspot.com/2008/12/cuba-chocolate.html
Basically it's about a famous male actor who plays for both sides of the team..and has a leaning towards chocolate men :) Well in Lainey's recent blog she said this about a George Clooney and A Rob (Alex Rodriquez of the NY Yankees): What do you think it is...as he stares adoringly at ARod and his ass? I’m sure it’s just an awkwardly timed photo.

Before reading about these blinds I would have never ever guessed this!

Zoya color boxes
I got two of these for Christmas and they are so much cuter than I expected. Its a nice velvet like black box inside of a black Zoya cardboard box. Perfect for gifts! The top closes with a hidden magnetic closure. I got it on special where I was able pick what colors are in the box. Usually they have sets of colors available. You can also buy the box separately. Here's one:
Cute huh!? I bought these at http://www.zoya.com/

Magnetic polish!
I've had this beauty sitting under my tree for a bit now. The hubby stole it and wrapped it! Its Nails Inc. magnetic nail polish. The shade is a gorgeous purple called 'houses of parliament'.
Even without the very unique aspect of the magnet added in this polish is a beautiful shade. OK so basically you do your normal base coat then one regular coat of the magnetic polish. You let that dry and add a second (thick) coat of polish. It's important to do one finger at a time. Right after the second coat you hold the magnet of the nail and hold it for a few seconds. At first I wasn't getting a deep design and figured out it was because I didn't hold the magnet over the nail long enough. After that you put your normal top coat over and its good to go! It is an amazing look!! Very unique.
This is the look I got first off when I wasn't holding the magnet for quite so long.
This is the look with a longer magnet hold. This is in natural light.
This is the look with flash
Outstanding isn't it?? So fun! This is a new fav.
I bought this at Sephora

What I love right now..
I love Soma. Love every single thing I've ever gotten there. I have their vanishing edge panties, dresses, bras, PJs, pants and capris. The panties are amazing. They have silicon on the edges so they don't creep and there are absolutely no panty lines. Every single thing they make is so soft. I live in their dresses in the summer.
My Soma pjs... Oh my...LOVE them. They are a tad pricey at full price, which is why I wait and ask for them for Christmas :) Hubby came through and got me the Retro Lace set. Right now they are having a great sale. However even at full price they are so worth it. They are super soft and the most comfortable things I own. And they are so pretty.
I purchased all my Soma stuff either online at http://www.soma.com/ or at their brick and mortar stores in malls.

Review: Neutrogena microdermabrasion
I bought this a few weeks ago since I had a $3 off coupon and had read that it was a good system. I finally used it the other night. WOW! First time I saw results. My skin was so soft and smooth. I even enlisted my husband so I could see if it did the same to his skin (it did!). It was super easy. Pop in batteries, put on the puff and go all around your face. Rinse and that's it. I will continue to use it the three times a week like it says and report back. So far I am very impressed.

For instance: Another (Not so) Blind riddle
Just to put out there what kind of things Lainey says in her blind riddles here is one that's a little bit older.
http://www.laineygossip.com/Doctors_Orders_blind_riddle_08nov10.aspx
He like his sex unconventional. Some would call it experimental, certainly vigorous, and definitely physical. Maybe too physical. Mixing pain into his pleasure, and cutting very, very close to a dangerous line is taking its toll on his body. He shows up with strange bruises, the next week it’s a minor fracture, his neck has been strained, sometimes there’s a knee brace, the shoulder’s been f-cked up for a while, and his back is a chronic issue too.
The excuse of course is that he’s active, that he exercises, he’s sporty, and that’s true, yes, but the injuries are not sustained while playing pickup, no, not at all. The injuries happen when he’s doing his business with his steady girl, a willing and capable participant.
His doctor is aware of what’s been ailing him, and WHY it’s ailing him. Helps when he can. But he’s been urged to take it easy because lately it’s been getting too rough. Especially with insurance and medicals and all that kind of paperwork, it’s hard to explain away the cuts and sprains, the little accidents that seem to be occurring with increasing frequency. He’s so into it, and he gets so off on it, it’s hard from him to curtail his fun. But they all agree, at least it’s been the case in the past, that when it’s time to get to work, he manages to keep his freak under control.
Here's one of her clues:
2011http://laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/21610/George-Clooney-without-Stacy-Keibler-promoting-The-Descendants-and-Ides-of-March-in-London
George Clooney is in London today promoting The Descendants. Here he is at the photo call with Shailene Woodley. Last night it was the UK premiere of The Ides of March where he posed with Evan Rachel Wood. I guess he doesn’t need an escort in London?
Does Stacy Keibler have to check in with his people when she’s not on duty? Like, if she’s staying with him in his suite in London, at the Dorchester or Claridge’s or whatever, does she have to ask for a day pass? It’s like any business trip that your company pays for. It’s important to be conscientious about your personal time and whether or not it infringes on your professional time. Must not be a difficult challenge for Stacy because, like, she quotes Buddha on her Twitter and sh-t. This is the wisdom she dropped on us today:
"Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most." - Buddha
I try to imagine her saying these things to George Clooney and I wonder if she delivers her lines before or after she puts the tie around his neck.
As for George, they did a good job with his blush and foundation today. He looks really, really well rested.
and the latest:
2011http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/22048/George-Clooney%E2%80%99s-girlfriend-loves-babies
George Clooney and Stacy Keibler were out for dinner last night in LA. Every pap in the city was there to shoot them. You know what I will always love about him though, no matter how frustrated I am with his girlfriend game?
I love how chill he is in these situations. I love that he doesn’t snarl, he doesn’t hide, he doesn’t whine, he doesn’t protest, he doesn’t threaten...and he remembers to tip the valet!
Straight up, George Clooney is a pro. He understands this is part of the life, this sh-t is what happens in exchange for everything else: Como, the money, the women, the access, the influence. When you choose Hollywood, when you choose the career George has followed, this is what you get. If George Clooney doesn’t cry about it, why are the 20 year old babies on tv shows crying about it??? Please.
As for Stacy, well, more and more it looks like she’s heading to the Oscars. Because HE is heading to the Oscars. Unless she f-cks it up. You know how you f-ck it up with George? You ask for a wedding and some babies. No no, Stacy hasn’t asked for those...yet. But she did post this on her Twitter with the caption:
My two loves...
Could be a nephew or a niece. Could be a friend’s kid. I’m just saying less has scared him away. You know how he is. She’ll have to make up for this baby picture with a nice firm headlock tonight.

Please no...(blind riddle)
In case you didn't know I am pretty much obsessed with this gossip lady Lainey. I adore her..even though I don't agree with everything she says. She spent quite a lot of time hating my BF for some umm..past behaviors...damn it that I never made it to a concert during his whore time.. Anywho she does these 'blind riddles'. IE she will give some good dirt on a famous person while not giving the name. Some gossip people do this with no intention of ever giving up the dirt. Lainey delivers. She usually gives some great clues so we can figure it out. Here's the latest:
http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/22038/Weekly-Live-Blog-December-6--2011
Would you still love him if you knew that he stomps around the set, holding up production, when his tea is brought to him at not the right temperature?
Would you still love him if you found out he delayed filming, and an entire crew, for several hours, because he HAD TO HAVE HIS LUNCH from a place that was off site so they had to drive there to get it and come back, only it was missing an ingredient and he sent it back?
Would you still love him if he refused to report to set after visiting wardrobe and found out someone else had been joking around with his hat and he insisted it wasn't sitting right on his head anymore?
Her clues so far: its not Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Downey Jr or Michael Fassbender.
And guess who the guesses are for...please I caught my breath when I kept reading who so many thought it was...Yes my other BF...The Gos! Seriously? They think my Ryan Gosling..star of the ultra sensitive Notebook could do this? Please no..Oh and BTW did you know he allegedaly declined the offer of People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive? What do we think of that? I think it makes me love him even more.

New polish!
I will have a ton of new polishes to swatch after Christmas....yes the hubby took it upon himself to assume that my polish haul from our TX trip was part of my Xmas. Grr... I did manage to sneak away two polishes before he could get them...ok actually he had to ration them out to me like some sort of crack head. Don't judge me..
So here is one that I grabbed on a whim because it looked cute in the bottle and had a scent to it. I usually don't buy polishes without looking up a swatch. I had the hubby breathing down my neck at Sally's so it was a quick grab :)
This is Color Club in Sugar Plum Yum. The smell is very strong after it dries. I can't quite pin my finger on what it is.. it just seems fruity to me. D (the hubby) did not appreciate the smell. Thank goodness the smell fades a bit because trust me, it is strong!
So its a clear polish with purple hexagon shaped glitters and small green (think normal everyday shaped and size) glitter. I never really understood what bloggers meant when they said they didn't paint a glitter but moved it around. That's what you have to do to this one to get it opaque, which is the look I went for. One normal painted coat and then moving around the second and I pretty much got it!
Here's a picture and please excuse the quality as I have lost my camera and had to use the trusty sidekick (IE iPhone). I left two nails with only one coat so you can see what that would be like.
Pretty neat! Now the bad part: of course it's a b^&ch to remove this kind of glitter. With my top coat it stayed pretty well until I was cleaning and washed my hands a million and one times, while doing dishes. And it didn't so much chip as start to peal up at the tip. I was in a rush when I applied it and didn't use my base (bad Kim). That may have helped.
I got this polish at Sally's Beauty supply.

Breaking Dawn
Tonight I went to the movies and saw Breaking Dawn part 1 with a bunch of friends. We had a blast! And I do believe that this is the best movie of the franchise to date. They have obviously put more money into this one which was very nice to see. It's scary to think what it would have looked like with out the backing of money! So we all left asking "do we really have to wait another year for part two?"...Yes apparently we do..

BzzAgent: Kroger's The Truly Awesome™ Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies
I got my new campaign Bzz kit in the mail yesterday. Here's what it looked like
It came with coupons, the Bzz guide and two boxes of cookies. I have to tell you they are very yummy! HUGE chocolate chips. We haven't tried them warm like the card suggests but I'm sure we will get to that...if my kids (and by that I mean my husband too) will stop eating them.
*I was supplied with this product because I am a Bzz Agent. I was sent these products to try.
OPI Nice Stems swatches
I got this mini-set for a great deal recently. I love the minis because I never ever 'finish' a polish and I hate wasting. From left to right we have Play the Peonies, I Lily love you, Be a Dahlia Won't You, and Come to Poppy.
Play the Peonies is a pale pink. Can be a bit streaky. I did two coats and probably could have used a third. It is a very nice, understated neutral color. This was a bit of a rush job as I was going out the door so its not as clean as I'd like.
Here's is I Lily Love You over two coats of Play the Peonies. I Lily Love you is a sheer pink with small glitter and bigger glitter chunks.
Be a Dahlia Won't You is my favorite of the group. It's a bright fuchsia sparkler. Gorgeous!
I ran out of fingers and didn't want to take away all this work so I painted my daughter's nails for the last swatch.This is Come to Poppy. A pretty coral color.

e.l.f. haul!
A while ago I was looking for makeup for a "Party like a rockstar" bunco. I bought a $1 e.l.f. eyeshadow compact because who cares about the quality for just a fun night! It also helped that it had great colors. It's labeled 'Brightening Eye Color'. I bought it for the pink shade at Target.
It worked better than I hoped! So I signed up for their emails and also bought their $1 eyebrow-mascara clear gel. I was pleasantly surprised by how much the eyebrow gel changed my look. I have one eye brow that has always given me an issue. It has some unruly hairs that I have trimmed and in desperation plucked. This really helped keep them in place!
I got a coupon emailed to me that was too good to pass up so I placed an order. I believe the coupon was for 50% off any e.l.f. studio line. They have three different lines: Studio, mineral and essential. I placed an order that totaled $27 and here's what I got
I bought (from l to r, bottom row then top) Eye Primer & Liner Sealer, Glitter Gloss in Glam Guava, Endless Eyes Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palette in Everyday Classics, Makeup Lock & Seal, Daily Brush Cleaner, Eyeshadow C Brush, Tropical Teal, Matte Charcoal & Innocent Ivory loose eye shadow powders and Makeup Mist & Seal. The only product that I have yet to try from this group is the Lock & Seal.
I have been thoroughly pleased with every product! My favorite is for sure the Daily Brush Cleaner because I am such a slacker about cleaning my brushes as I should. The Eye Primer & Liner Sealer is fabulous! The Sealer end turns any eye shadow into a liquid eyeliner! The C brush is also very good. No bristle loss and its much better quality than brushes which I have paid way more for. The eyeshadow palette is hit or miss. There are some colors that have a rougher texture and some that aren't pigmented enough for my taste. For the price of $5 for 32 shades it is well worth the price.

PEOPLE Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive is...
Bradley Cooper! What do you think? Honestly I was thinking it would be Ryan Gosling and not just for my own feelings lol. He has had a HOT year. Crazy, Stupid, Love, Ides of March and Drive. Come on! Not that Cooper isn't easy on the eyes. I would love some more diversity on their list too. Well at least it's not another Ryan Reynolds as it was last year. That one I didn't get at all.

You have never seen a nail polish like this..
I heard of this amazing holo polish by a brand called Nfu Oh. The color is 061. Holo is short for holographic and you can imagine what that looks like in a polish! There are many that claim to be holos but never ever do they look like this:
This was of course with flash so you can see what this baby looks like in the sun. It is ah-mazing! It is true what people say about this polish: you will catch yourself staring at your nails! In fact when my order finally came in (I spent quite a while on a wait list) I ran over to show my neighbor. It's a bonus that the bottle is so cute. It's made to look like a corset!
Here are the things about this lovely beauty:
1) you MUST also purchase the Aqua base or it will be a streaky mess. You can make do with doing a few coats but it won't ever look the same. I tried it with bare nails and different base coats. It never comes out right.
2) It is frequently sold out. It is that good! In fact I was on the wait list for a while for the polish, it came in and I stayed on the wait list for the base. So back to number one, trust me I tried to find an alternative to the base! Also it is apparently only available at one company in America. It helps that they have fabulous (haha pun intended) customer service. Shipping is free after something like $25.
3) It flakes quickly. That's a bummer but for this type of holo I will endure it.
I purchased this polish for $12.50 at http://www.fabuloustreet.com

BzzAgent: Fekkai hair products
Have you ever heard of the BzzAgent website? They are a "social marketing company". In layman terms they send their BzzAgents products to try out. These products are called 'campaigns'. In return we Bzz about them to our family and friends. This may mean I hand out coupons or samples for the particular product and let them know what I think. I've been doing this for a few years and its quite awesome!
Right now the campaigns I have are:
Fekkai hair products
Purell
Green Mountain Fair Trade Coffee
Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions
John Grisham
Now on to some Bzzing!
Here is a picture of the Fekkai Bzz kit
The Fekkai hair products are amazing. I got the volume shampoo and conditioner along with samples of the glossing cream. I love love them all. Seriously the night I used them my husband commented on how soft my hair was! It also made my hair look great. The bad thing about this campaign is that it didn't come with any coupons. These packages usually do. When I saw the prices at Target I really wished it would have. It is a bit pricey at $22 a piece. Because of that I wouldn't make it my go to line for everyday use. I do love the glossing cream and will probably still buy that. Maybe I will get the shampoo and conditioner and just ration it out!
*I was supplied with these products for free by BzzAgent. The opinions listed are my honest feelings about the products.

These packages usually do. When I saw the prices at Target I really wished it would have. It is a bit pricey at $22 a piece. Because of that I wouldn't make it my go to line for everyday use. I do love the glossing cream and will probably still buy that. Maybe I will get the shampoo and conditioner and just ration it out!

Dream Machines
The other day we were on post when the kids pointed out a new kiosk. My son went over to check it out. It was the Dream Machine. Have you ever seen these? I had never heard of them! It is a recycling kiosk by Pepsico!! They recycle bottles and cans. Two wonderful things about them (besides the obvious saving the environment thing) is 1) they donate to Veterans causes and 2) there is a reward system!
You create an account, scan in your bottles or cans and keep track of it online. When you build up so many points you can get rewards in your community. This is a new program and we are in a small area so rewards are limited. My reward for using this machine is helping the environment and contributing to veterans causes. Its a win win!
Check it out.

A little about me
So the first thing I do when reading a blog for the first time is go all the way back to the first post. I do this to learn about the author of the blog. I like to know the background!
Here's my background: I am a mom and Army wife. I just finished my BA in Social Sciences with a concentration in Poli Sci, Hist & Soc. I am not an English major and not a writer. You will see grammatical errors and that's fine with me!
I love makeup. I love nail polish. I love shoes. I am one of those people that needs to know about things quickly. I am not usually brand loyal and play around with new beauty products frequently. I am also not a makeup snob. I have $1 ELF makeup next to my Nars blush. I will try most anything once!
I have three Hollywood crushes. First and foremost Prince who I have been in love with since I was six years old. That's kind of pervy isn't it? LOL I'd like to point out that in my dreams he is at least 6 foot tall because I am a tall girl! Second Michael Buble. He had me at the 'Me and Mrs Jones'. I had the honor of taking my Mom to his Crazy Love tour last year. It was a blast! Lastly two words: Ryan Gosling.
My girl crush: Emily Blunt. I adore everything about her.
My friends frequently text or Facebook me with their celebrity questions. Why do I keep up so much..I have no idea. It's just good fun. My most favorite gossip blog is Lainey Gossip. Love her so much.
I use LOL a lot as well as smiley faces. I will try to keep them to a minimum.
So this is me and all that has shaped this blog :)

Here I go!!
I've talked about doing my own blog for a while now. With the encouragement of my amazing friends I decided to give it a go! So here it is. I imagine this to be about all the material things that make up my world! I have a love affair with nail polish at the moment. Slightly behind that would be shoes and makeup. Mixed in there somewhere, I have to get my daily fix of Hollywood happenings. So welcome to my world and all that I am/was Jonesin' for!
