If you have read the 100 Random things about me, then you know I hate bra shopping. I like bra shopping as much as I like going to the gynecologist. It is very painful to go bra & swim suit shopping. I can’t just walk into Target or Walmart & buy a bra or bathing suit. I am a 36 DD. I hate it. Some women wish they were this size, not me. After two beautiful babies & breast feeding, the girls have decided to move south. How dare them not to invite me. Now that spring is in full swing & we are wearing more revealing clothing, I finally decided that my girls need to move north once again. So I went to Kohls. Let the torture begin. Padded bras don’t work. I’m already big enough, I don’t need to look any bigger. I can’t wear the pretty/sexy lacy bras; they don’t work with a tee shirt. They don’t look smooth, they leave bumps. Some make you look like Madonna, with the points. I don’t care to have torpedo boobs. Some don’t cover me on the side, others cut into your boobs. What

Spring is in the air & I decided to splurge on myself. At Costco, I recently purchased makeup. I found a great foundation, 3 concealers & application brush in one packet for about $18. In addition to the foundation, I found a nice eye shadow kit with pencil eyeliner, sharpener (not pictured) & 2 application brushes. There are a variety of 8 shadows & each end of the brushes has a different type a brush for different types of application. The shadow kit cost about $21. I give this make up a thumbs up!

Do you want that cappuccino at home but don't have a cappuccino maker? Well I have a quick solution for you. Quick Cappuccino Ingredients: Fresh brewed coffee Coffee Creamer (like Coffeemate or International Delight) 1. Brew your coffee the way you would usually do it. You may want to make it a little stronger. 2.Pour a generous amount of coffee creamer into your coffee cup. 3. Next, take a fork & whip the cream in the cup until nice & frothy. About a minute or two. (Sorry about the picture, I don't know why it turned out this way.) 4. Pour you hot coffee right into the cup immediately after whipping cream. You should have a nice little foam on the top of your coffee. Top with a little cinnamon & enjoy.
