Hi there Gorgeous,
Now with the hoopla of the WM Phoenix Open and Super Bowl 46 over, tis time to get serious and down to business about celebrating for Valentines Day.

I encourage you to rethink the day-please consider it a chance to love unabashedly, with abandon and to practice a multitude of random acts of love and compassion.

Remember-the more you give the more you get! Valentine's day is so win win win-when you focus on loving others, yourself, doing acts of service and love is far better than just focusing on a significant other.

There are many old folks homes that need a sweet smile to come in and hug, play cards and visit. Maybe even your neighbor needs this? What about the children around you? They could use an encouraging and positive word-from you! Care for some stray animals, was the coffee cups at work without being asked-just do something to show love. It will make you feel amazing!

Now-as you know, I'm a fragrance junkie. I love fragrance. Perfume is my favorite accessory. I have been playing with my sample of the new fragrance by Halle Berry made by Coty. I have the notes listed below, and it's a light fruity floral-no wonder I like it. But-one thing-it smells amazing for the first 15 minutes and then starts to fade and in an hour I don't really have much of a scent left? I'm not opposed to reapplying, but there are some fragrances that I put on that don't come off til I shower!

Here's the notes-enjoy!
Top notes of Italian Bergamot, Dewfruit, Freesia and Apple, passionate heart notes of White Champaca and Mangosteen, and sensual drydown notes of Branches of Ambered Okoume, Patchouli and Lusks, the new Revel the Passion is a more alluring interpretation of the original Reveal fragrance.

Available in a 15 ml and a 30 ml at Sears, Kohls and Rite Aid-but, the internets are reporting that they can't find it in the stores? I'll be at Kohls this week and will check-otherwise-I just may have to sparingly use my sample!

The price point is under $30.00.

Hello Gorgeous!
Did you know that on Super Bowl Sunday over 1.25 billion chicken wings will be eaten? Also that the Super Bowl is second to Thanksgiving in eating-in actual increase of pounds of food per person consumed?

I share this bit of trivia to encourage you to get some Iroha masks and eye patches because after all that eating-you may not sleep well and on Monday not only will you feel tired-you may look it! Unless that is...you try these patches and masks!

I enjoyed my sample and I think it really worked. I used mine after being out at the Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament. Tired is putting it mildly!

The anti-aging treatments are affordable and can be purchased online from their website or at Amazon.com

Hello to you from the 18th hole at the
Waste Management Phoenix Open!

I am wearing this green shirt to support the raising of awareness for the the Arizona Clean & Beautiful project.

Notice the crowd in the photo...was it ever
packed!




Now-I'm also wearing the Lancome 2012 Spring Collection Roseraies des Delices in Vert Tenderness eyeshadow quad from Lancome. Here's a picture of the eyeshadow compact
out at the 18th hole. That's Rickie Fowler
in the back ground.










Oh look at this delicious Green Petal lipgloss
from the Lancome 2012 Spring collection.

It's so perfect for the Waste Management
Phoenix Open 'Green Out' day!

Yep, that's Rickie Fowler in the background on the 18th hole-it was good golf. Now-my golf
commentating can use some help-so here is a bit
about the rounds from SB Nation writer Brendan Porath



"Rickie Fowler is another young dynamic star looking for his first tour win. He's trying to make a charge at Levin, and was two under through the first four holes.

But Fowler went bogey-bogey at five and six to fall back to even. He's still 10 shots back so he will have to set a blistering pace over the final two-thirds of his round to get into contention on Sunday."





Thanks Brendan Porath for the great golf play by play update. For more Waste Management Phoenix Open news tune into: http://wmphoenixopen.com or http://www.sbnation.com


I really enjoyed my time out at the TPC Scottsdale today. It was a bit crowded for me though-but the weather was amazing and the golf was good too! The crowd is really rowdy here-chanting "We love Phil" as Phil Mickelson finished the 18th hole.

I rode the shuttle bus in from the planet Pluto and then walked back seeing as how the line to the return to the parking lot extended to the entrance of the venue.

Overall-it was a good day for golf and makeup. Til next time!
