Merry Christmas 2011!

This has been a really busy year for me. I started back in college at Metro State University late last Spring for my Bachelor's degree in Finance. This is my 3rd trip to college; 1st in the 80's for nursing, 2nd in the 90's for psychology degree and at 51 years of age, yes...college is as hard as it used to be :)

 I haven't been able to do a lot of makeup in Denver this year because of school and working part time. But, still get calls to do airbrush makeup for photo shoots, weddings or temporary tattoos for different occasions. On the side, I've still been taking updated makeup classes through Elite Pro because, like everything, if you don't keep up on it, you  lose it. Music has kept me busy this year, too, with a trip to Burbank, CA in August for my marketing internship for Atlantic/Elektra Records. I received thumbs up on that and an offer, so for now, I'm a remote marketing rep for Atlantic/Elektra, but that might change in 2012.

At this date, December 1st, I have finished ALL of my Christmas shopping for family and friends. I skipped the lines and traffic and bought online. Cyber Monday is my best friend! A lot of people have asked me where to go shopping online, where is the different clothing, makeup, food, shoes and so here are MY favorites to shop online:

CLOTHING:
  • Victoria Secrets    www.victoriasecrets.com   they have great deals on all their items including perfume, lotions, shampoo, makeup. Their clothing lasts a long time and it is the only place I go for my "underclothing".
  • Frederick's of Hollywood   http://www.fredericks.com  I LOVE their clothing and their accessories such as jewelry. I've gotten some body jewelry from them before and every thing fits and is great quality. I haven't shopped their lingerie, but I'm sure it is all good!
  • Forever21    http://www.forever21.com  they have thee best jeans and T-shirts for low cost and great quality. It's not just a shopping site for young girls. It's for women and men, too.
  • Newport News   http://www.newport-news.com/  I have been shopping online with them for years. Their sizes always fit and although they have more "corporate working" style clothing, they are very tailored and I like that.
  • Boston Proper   http://www.bostonproper.com/   LOVE the styles. If I can't find something on VS or Fredericks, I know I'll find it on Boston Proper. Gorgeous clothes.
  • Pyramid Collection   http://www.pyramidcollection.com  I used to buy from this unique clothing company when I still owned my Rock Wear clothing store. They have really interesting clothing and if you shop their "outlet", you'll find great things for great prices!
  • Leather Up http://www.leatherup.com/  If you ride a motorcycle, this is a great place to buy from. When leathers are too expensive at Harley Davidson's, this is a great leather place for men and women. My leather chaps are SO comfortable and have had them for about 4 years now. Still in great shape. Women, check out the hot little leather halter vests, too.

Food:
Makeup:
Okay, that is most all of my favorite shopping sites. I hope you enjoy them, too. Have a GREAT and blessed Christmas!
