World According to Shia

Okay so technically I am NOT Mellissa Rondinelli YET  ... I will be on September 20, 2012 ... is that seriously in like 51 days?  (but hey I am Mellissa aka Shia)  But come on totally not changing that later ... I'll have too many other things to change! So anywho ... the email I had link to this account became corrupt ... so I am deleting it aka having to switch EVERYTHING.  So I went through all my followers and followed you on my new account.  Once I drop that other email ... you'll lose a follower but no worries ... I re-followed.  It's kinda like a tease ... I am quite aware.  If I missed you comment below ... and I will follow you - some peeps didn't have their blogs on their profile (tisk tisk ... naughty naughty). Also, I am debating on changing my blog name and possibly moving to Word Press ... haven't had the courage to bite the bullet on these ... so for now I am still here at this address. 

If I was just deleted as your follower ... no worries I will be back ASAP.  I am changing around stuff and linking up new emails and stuff ... anywho ... I will get back on your list ... NO WORRIES!!!

GASP!  I know ... I normally don't cuss on this blog but this is totally how I feel about the end of this week.  So sorry if the F word scares you! I just feel like everything stressful that could happen this week ... has happened. I know what you are thinking (GASP!) don't say that more bad stuff will come. My reply is for you to defer back to my someecard! Thank you all for your comments on my new header! I am still proud and loving it! I am thinking/working on more major blog changes. I'll let you know once I get them in place.

I made my own header and I love it!!!! I am so freaking proud of myself!! Now I need to make it a button ... It keeps coming out too big ... any suggestions?

Left 1) Hair remover - I get this at the dollar store for you guess it ... $1.  It works just as well as Nair and all those other brands.  I don't use the plastic scraper it comes with because let's face it ... those things don't even work with Nair so I use it with a razor and my legs are super smooth for days. 2) Netrogena Sugar Scrub (Citrus) - I love this stuff for summer.  It's a great way to exfoliate and it smells fresh. 3) Foot scrub and bar soaps - Paul says my "girly" soaps don't work on him ... so he uses Dove Men Bar Soap.   4) Redken Blonde Glam - this stuff is awesome on my highlights ... see HERE for my past review. 5) Okay this one might be TMI ... but I love this fem wash.  Middle  6) Redken All Soft Shampoo & Conditioner - I love this stuff ... click HERE to see my past review. Right 7) Mint Julep Facial Scrub - I just recently started using this and love it.  I made the switch because what I us...

It's that time of the week don't forget to link up with  Amber  &  Neely!! It's okay ...  1) to be super happy that I prepared and scheduled all the the posts for this week on Sunday!  Go me! 2) to get up early and exercise before work ... I never thought it was possible people but if Shia can do it ... anyone can.  3) to consider taking the wedding countdown down ... I mean isn't the panic attacks it's giving me enough of a reason to take it down?  I am running out of time!! 4) that I have made a blog planner but I haven't put it together yet.  5) that I am currently using office supplies to keep my ring on.   This is post-it tape ~ basically used for when you  want to copy a document but you want to cover  the privileged stuff up ... works great for sizing rings as well as you can see ... LOL 6) to be proud of my new found photobucket skillz ... my pics this week have...

Finding Mr. Bright came in a Here Comes the Bride Birchbox I received. I currently use Posie Tint so getting this travel size was great.   I've used High Beam in the past and loved it so I was happy to see it in the kit.  I'd never tried Erase Paste but this stuff is great for concealing ANYTHING!   But my fave item in this kit is Girl Meets Pearl!   I absolutely love this stuff.  This size lasted me for about 2 months.   I cashed in some of my Birchbox points to get a free full sized one.   I also pick up the same size as in the kit from Ulta on clearance for $5 - I was happy to put it back in my kit because I plan on taking this on our wedding/honeymoon trip =) Benefit $30 Girl Meets Pearl is great for on your upper cheek/eye bone and swept up to the side of your eye.  It gives a nice shimmer without too much.   It's like a pearl ... sometimes you see the glow and sometimes you don't.   It's a golden pink so ...

So every month I receive a Birchbox ... seemed a shame to throw them away. So I came up with a use for them. Here is the top layer. Basically this is the lid portion to the box. One box contains all my eyeshadows and small  Baremineral items.  The other box contains my brushes and my Miracle Skin Translucent BB cream which I use as primer. The upper area space left from the boxes fits all my nail polish two by two. and the space in between the middle box and the back box  fits all my lip stuff and Benefit Poise Tint  and the one in the back (hard to get to)    put all my skin items  and my Finding Mr. Bright kit  (love this - post to come) So if you remove the top two boxes underneath are the bottom of the boxes... The one to the left contains all my Bareminerals face products,  foundation, warmer, mineral veil, etc, the box in the middle contains all my mascaras, eye liners, eye brow pencils, tool...

So the other day I was standing in line behind a girl and noticed her outfit.  It was super cute.  She was wearing a skirt similar to this with a gold tank top.  I asked her where she got the dress and she told me it was a skirt from Forever 21.  So I had to go check it out! On one of my lunch breaks I drove 20 mins to Forever 21 to find the skirt.  At this mall, the Forever 21 is two stories and it is just packed with racks.  I have no idea if the stuff is even grouped in any kind of rhyme or reason.  So after looking around for what seemed to be forever (no pun intended) I asked a sales girl if she could point me in the direction of this pleated green maxi skirt with a black elastic band.  Luckily she knew what I was talking about.  So I found it ... YAY!  Then I realized ... oh crap ... I didn't ask her where she got her top.  So then I was back at the mercy of the lack of organization to look for a gold tank.  I gav...

A light bulb came on and I realized I had more stuff to say...I know me Shia with more to say...NEVER!!! It's okay ... that I've had to walk around with my shirt soaking wet like all day because I've only gotten like a million things on it.  Hello this shirt is the right shade of gray for TWO skirts I own...it can't be taken out of rotation. Okay I tried to take a pic and it was just a boob shot ... hello can't post that so just take my word that the wet spot I have been sporting all day is horrible.   that I've just been giving all the old perves I work with ANOTHER reason to stare at my boobs.  Awesome! that I realized last night the skirt I wore yesterday states Dry Clean Only ~ what setting is that on my washer?? ~ cuz I'll bet you like a million dollars it never goes to the this magical place called the dry cleaners ~ yep you betcha ~ hanging right back up in my closet for next time. to use LOL and LMAO after every sentence even if you...

It's that time of the week don't forget to link up with  Amber  &  Neely!! It's okay.... 1) to be sick of being sick ... friends...I have had the worst cold I have ever had in my life ... seriously remember when Nicole Kidman died at the end of Moulin Rouge?  Well I seriously thought that your girl Shia here had consumption too!  I still have a lung that I still haven't quiet be able to cough up yet but at least I have some energy back. 2) that I didn't work out for 2 weeks.  I started back Tuesday night....YAY! 3) that I am not sure which one I felt more guilt over ... not blogging or not working out. 4) that I think it is totally awesome that last night I ran a mile in 11:40!  Shia's new record!! 5) that this weekend is my wedding dress fitting but I still feel like I have a bit more to lose.  I mean there can be a second fitting ... right?  Let's hope. It's NOT okay .... 1) to let FoxNews, CNN, M...

So I didn't get to post pics of Leah on her 2nd birthday because she hasn't had her birthday pics done yet....I will post them when she gets them done.  Also, I just realized I never got to post Marissa's bday pics because my sister hasn't given them to me yet...sigh.  So more birthday pics to come...lol So anyways here are some birthday party pics.... Kaelyn's 3rd birthday Nana & Papa got her a bike! Leah's 2nd Birthday Nana & Papa got her a bike too! Leah's birthday party was at a water park so here are some random pics of all my nieces... Kaelyn & Leah Marissa (isn't she tan!) Leah Kaelyn Kaelyn running in the back  & Marissa with some friends. Kaelyn & Marissa Let me just say how funny these lil stinkers thought it was to get me wet ... they would come up and hug me so their wet bathing suits would soak my shirt =)

As you might remember (since I haven't posted anything about these in awhile) I receive a Birchbox each month.  It's a service where you pay a monthly fee of $10 for a monthly box of samples.  Well I heard about Beauty Bar Box basically the same thing but for $15 a month and I thought I would give it a try.  Well ... it was a bit disappointing. a) Vincent Longo Vincent Longo Duo Lip Pencil b) Borghese Tono Body Cream c) vbeautévbeaute Eye Never Nourishing Repair Eye Creme d) Jouer Cosmetics Luminizing Moisture Tint SPF 20 e) Sisley-Paris Hydra Globa Intense Anti-Aging Hydration (sorry the print on the box didn't show up) I guess it was just disappointing because I've already received (d) from Birchbox months ago and nothing seemed that great.  I mean a lip pencil...okay who cares and some creams doesn't seem like it is worth more than Birchbox.   This is my June box...okay nothing super spectacular but I do love those...
