#ManiMonday – Rouge Louboutin and Chanel Lamé Rouge Noir Gold Sparkle Top Coat
Rouge Louboutin and Chanel Lame Rouge Noir
Who else was hating life this morning? After a nice long holiday break, I didn’t want to get up AT ALL this morning. I totally slept through my alarm. My body just wasn’t having it. I had such a lovely time at home with the boyfriend, who also took the last two weeks off. We spent Christmas with my parents, baked cookies, hosted a NYE party, did some work around the house, and binge-watched Mozart in the Jungle, Man in the High Castle, Red Oaks, Master of None, and caught up on AHS: Hotel (it’s FINALLY getting good).
My nails were pretty bare the last week since we cleaned and de-cluttered the house (I’m reading the KonMari method book) and ended up breaking/chipping a few nails. I didn’t even have polish on for NYE! If I did, it would have been today’s manicure, one of my Christmas gifts from the boyfriend and a treat to myself. He remembered me saying how I could never justify the INSANE price of Rouge Louboutin, even though I wanted it as a collectible, so I was happily surprised when it showed up under the tree.

Last-Minute Beauty Gifts You Can Grab at JCPenney
Last-Minute Beauty Gifts
I’m a notorious last-minute shopper. I’ve been known to be out shopping while the boyfriend is at my parent’s house cooking Christmas Eve dinner. Procrastination holiday shopping is in my DNA. Considering the number of people I see scrambling through stores this week, I know I’m not alone.
Department stores are my one-stop salvation, especially JCPenneys with in-store Sephoras. We have a few in the Cleveland area and I stopped by the North Olmsted store after seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens (so amazing!) to grab a few gifts for my beauty-loving friends, and a treat for myself, of course! With styles so bright and gifts so right, JCPenney is where giving begins this holiday season.

Jump Start Your Anti-Aging Routine with MitoQ!
MitoQ Serum
Confession, I did not take great care of my skin in my 20s. All right, twist my arm, not even into my early 30s. I know that makes me a bad beauty girl, but it’s the truth. So, now I find myself scrambling to undo all the damage tanning beds (I KNOW!), a lack of proper sunscreen/anti-aging products, and improper nutrition have had on my skin. I’m sure I’m not alone. Tell me I’m not alone!
That has led me down a path of trying any and every anti-aging product I can get my hands on to make a dent in the wrinkles popping up on my face and to prevent any further damage. Now, the path has led me to MitoQ serum, which I have been testing for the past five weeks.
