    Finally de-lurking!

    I used to post here a long time ago (I actually won one of the holiday contests) but for some reason, I stopped and became more of a lurker. I love looking at the gorgeous FOTDs that you post in here, so I figured I'd post some of my own once I got the courage back up! My blog is here...

    Does anyone have tips on how to help someone with moderate depression?

    I'm on a bit of a budget at the moment as I'm saving up for my honeymoon but I'm allowing myself a few things from Dare to Wear, Fabulous Felines and the Digi-Pops (whatever it's called... the glittery lipsticks). I'm sort of wanting all of your input on what would be the "must have" choices...

    Choosing Mac pigments

    I was planning on picking up a few (maybe 4-5) Mac pigment samples from a website I frequent. However, I can't decide which ones as there are so many!
