Del Mar Decadence

Not exactly elegant decadence.  More caloric decadence.  This years San Diego County fair was a ton of fun that included an extensive variety of carnival classics and other wacky creations.  Here is a sample of stuff we ate and saw...

Funnel Cake

Dippin Dots

Footsie Wootsie

Plastic Toys

Cheesecake on a stick...yes it is amazing

'Alice' cake in a competition

Fresh

I have written before about my adoration for Sephora and its wide product range.  But now a favorite product has added a new color in its repertoire.  For a few years now I've been using Fresh's Sugar Lip Treatment.  This replaced my former go to lip treatment, the Rosebud Salve.   I've gone through several tubes..but still had to apply a lip color afterwards.  Enter my solution...Fresh came out with Sugar Rose last year.  A perfect pink hue that makes my pout sparkle.  I'm on my third tube in less than a year.  And my family wonders how I have VIB Status at Sephora.  Now they have introduced Sugar Plum.  Similar to Clinique's epitomes Black Honey lipstick/gloss but more moisturizing.  These three lip products are living happily within the confines of my makeup bag.  I've even gotten my mom and sister in on the act.  Both of them use the Lip Treatment and Sugar Rose.  If you want a no fail summer lip color run...do not walk to Sephora and pick one up.

Slacking

Yep..thats me.  I've been slacking.  Not for sake of trying, I have been busy actually.  Work, friends, family, and general musings about town.  But I do have a new BFF,...its my iphone.  It keeps me untethered from my macbook.  And *sigh* I am now one of "those" mac people.  I can't stop gushing about the many apps, features, and fun things that keep my obsessed with my iphone.

So, this weekend while I surprisingly don't have to be anywhere I am (finally) working on some posts, cleaning, and prepping for the big family vacation.  Isn't it awesome not to 'have' to be anywhere.  Its very freeing and lets my inner sloth emerge onto the couch, cool drink on the table, laptop on snack tray, movie downloading on iTunes (told you I was a mac person), and two adorable dogs sitting at my side.  Don't get me wrong I love being busy and the fact that my phone keeps buzzing with new emails.  But, sometimes in our harried lives its nice just to sit for a while and leave all obligations behind.
