World According to Shia

As if getting married wasn't the highlight of my trip, I finally got to go to LUSH! I went to the one in Portland in the super hip and cool area of NW 23rd Ave. Here's the stuff I bought ... Trichomania - Solid Shampoo LUSH WEBSITE LISTED FEATURES: · Encourage better behavior: Perfect for gaining control of dry, curly, and frizzy hair once again.  · Coconut crazy: We love the way that creamed coconut gives moisture to dry, out of condition hair.  · Calming vetivert: Your frazzled hair and mind will thank you for using our solid shampoo made with vetivert oil. SHIA'S THOUGHTS: Let me first say that this and the solid conditioner were the two items I was super excited to try, also, knowing that I was visiting Lush early on in our trip, I packed minimal shampoo and conditioner.  With that said, I just have to be honest.  This stuff is HORRIBLE!  Luckily I didn't use this until AFTER the wedding.  It doesn't really soa...

Okay so I just did this fab post about my first trip to Lush and now the post is GONE!  What the heck? Anyone having issues with Blogger today or is it just me?

It's that time of the week don't forget to link up with  Amber  &  Neely!! It's Okay ... that currently I have two name plates in my office window ... I am teetering between two names at the moment.  It's perfectly normal. that I haven't had a Pumpkin Spice Latte or anything pumpkin yet.  I mean it just doesn't feel like fall yet ... am I right?  Also, isn't it just a tad overrated anyways??  Does my coffee REALLY need to taste like pumpkin pie? that while on my honeymoon Paul and I went to a coffee shop (not Starbucks) and they did a cute design in my foam and I totally geeked out.  Hello Starbucks ... make me some fab designs. okay and don't get all uppity if your Starbucks does!  Maybe mine does too but I always just get it to go.  Look not causing a fight just mentioning my geek out.  to be thinking about Christmas gifts to give.  Please I want all of it done WAY in advance so I ...

Changing time zones SUCKS! If I hear one more person say - welcome back to the real world - I am going to go postal.  Really?  Eastern Standard Time is the "real world"?  Where did I miss that sign ... leaving the real world hope you come back soon. Regardless, adjusting from vacation throws everyone for a loop but after a month off you just have so much to do when you get home crammed in like a nano second.  My suitcases are currently laying on the floor in my bedroom - I haven't unpacked for two reasons (i) I've had no time to do so and (ii) any piece of clothing that I own that I wear to work did NOT go with me on my trip so I really don't need anything out of my suitcase. I felt like I had accomplished so much when I put away all of my hair stuff and makeup over the weekend.  I was like BOO YEAH ... unpacked! Currently there are 2 beauty boxes and 2 birchboxes unopened on my dining room table ... um yeah I plan on opening them and th...

Well sort of.  Let me give you a quick overview of what has happened since my last "real" post. On Wednesday September 12 - my fiance and I flew to Las Vegas.   On Thursday September 13 - we flew to Portland Oregon. On Thursday September 20 - we got married at the Columbia River Hotel in Hood River, Oregon. On Monday October 8 - my HUSBAND and I flew back to Jacksonville, Florida. So I have been out of the loop for AWHILE.  I'd like to say that I have tons of blog posts in the works and tons of pics ready to post but that is WAY too proactive for someone who just came back from practically month off and just lost 3 hours due to change in time zones.  It's really hard to switch from Pacific Time to Eastern Time.  Currently I am keeping my steady zombie like pace at work with my daily Starbucks.  Let me just add on a side note that if you live east of the west coast and you think you are addicted to Starbucks try visiting the west coast ....
