Glambassador Challenge: Crystal Light Mocktails

Glamour Magazine sent me this really cool drink from Crystal Light called Mocktails.   It essentially has the flavor of your favorite alcoholic beverage without the calories or effects of alcohol.  They sent me the Appletini flavor and I swear it tastes just like an Appletini.   It is very easy to make.  Just empty contents of package into a 2qt container and fill with 8 cups of cold water, stir and serve.  Perfect for a girls night in or out.  I suggest you serve them in your cutest cocktail glasses.  I definitely did!!

Ok, let me finish my Crystal Light Mocktails and head out for the night.

BEAUTY TIP: No more oil

I have to share this beauty tip for my ladies with oily skin.  I have tried every product that guarantees a "matte finish" or "keeps you oil free for hours."  This product is not only affordable but it works.  Its Milk of Magnesia.  Yep, thats right.  Good ol' Milk of Magnesia.  All you need to do is head to your local drugstore or Target, and pick up the plain Milk of Magnesia.  Not flavored.

Apply to clean and moisturized skin (after your skin care routine).  You can apply via cotton balls or a basic $1 Elf make up brush.  Apply evenly and let it set.  You will probably see a white residue which is good.  It means that it is soaking up the oil.  Then apply your foundation or powder.

I have recommended this to my closest friends and they LOVE it.  For my beauties who do not wear make up and still want to control oil, I would suggest maybe doing a light application so that the white paste like film does not show.  Let me know how it goes.

Here's to a shine free face.  Thank you Milk of Magnesia!!!

Who is the Man Behind the Text?

Okay single ladies.....have you ever met a guy, exchanged numbers and then looked forward to receiving his phone call but instead received a text?  One text is fine, but the brotha proceeds to have a full blown conversation with you via text.  At this point he becomes your "text boo."  Oh, and kudos to you if you finally make it out on a date with him via a text invite.  LOL  So, what's a girl to do if she is in this situation?  How many texts do I have to go thru before I get asked out?  Does he even know how to talk?

Technology has hindered our communication skills with one another and it is very unfortunate for the daters out here.  Sure, texting is good for a quick check in or a "How's your day?" or "Running late, be there in 5."  Healthy relationships need to good ol' fashion conversation.   So, a suggestion for you ladies actually comes from one of my Twitter followers who suggested that the woman (after a few texts from the guy) simply pick up the phone and CALL HIM!  I tried this a few weeks ago and the guy was pleasantly surprised.  I explained that I didn't want to have a full text convo and that talking would be good.  He explained that he didn't know if I was busy or not, blah, blah, blah.   If you break the ice and make that initial call, but he does not return the favor with a phone call back, he may not be interested or may not be the one you want to deal with.

Men, we WANT you to pick up the phone and call us.  If we are busy, we wont answer.  Simple as that.  Stop hiding behind your text messages when you first meet a woman.  Remember.  If we gave you our number, we want to hear from you.
