Weekend Recap: My Date With Sam Fine & The Ring!

First, I just want to apologize for not posting over the last few days.  I’ve been so lazy because of the heat.  I went to a few events that ran late, and by the time I came home, I was dead tired!

If you follow me on twitter you’ll know that I constantly tweet back & forth with Celebrity Makeup Artist, Sam Fine.  If you don’t know who he is, google him!

I had the opportunity to sit and chat with him yesterday for about 30 minutes.  He lives in my neighborhood! How cool! So we met up at Tillies.  He gave me some good advice about getting started in the industry, products to use, creating your signature etc.  I will elaborate in a later post though because it was just so much said.  I really appreciate him taking the time to meet up with lil ole me.  It was really nice of him.  He’s a nice man; honest, truthful, and encouraging.  He signed my DVD, and told me that I can contact him any time.  That made my day.

I won this beautiful ring from Strawberry Stilletto’s Blog! I’m excited and can’t wait to get it.  Kimmy joked that we’re engaged now .:LOL:.

I also picked up this beautiful neckpiece from Finishing Touches Accessories at the TRC Fashionable Night Out event on Friday, June 25th

It’s different from what I usually wear. I don’t normally wear such large pieces.  My friends convinced me to get this one though.

This is a pizza I love to get from this place near my house called Il Porto.  This particular one, the Il Porto ($16), has clams, mussels, shrimp, clams, calamari, octopus, and capers.  It’s sooo, sooo good! I had this yesterday.
