Perfect Eyebrows Now!

The elusive perfect eyebrow.

Yes, it can be yours!  First you need to tweeze, wax, thread, etc your brows into shape.  If you do not feel comfortable tweezing yourself, turn to a professional!!  Better yet, if you don't know one, pick someone with amazing brows and ask who waxes theirs.

Now, just waxing alone is not all you need to do.  As you can see from my puny eyebrow, it's got a thinning spot and we need to fix that!

 

 

 

You need the right tools.  Dual brow brush and brow powder.  Mine is gloMinerals in taupe. 

Brush the powder over your eyebrow and fill in your brow.

It's that easy!!

So you don't like Starbucks, now what?

I know, I know, I can't believe it either, but yes it is true.  Some people don't like Starbucks.

But there is hope, an aha moment, a light at the end of the tunnel.

In my infinite wisdom, I think if you don't like Starbucks, then you just haven't had the amazing drink that calls to you, that sings to your tastebuds, that begs you to come back so you can become a Starbucks Gold Card Member in record breaking time!!

First, let me assure you, I was not always a coffee lover.  Yes, it is my confession, and much to my mother's dismay, I would not drink coffee with her.  As I approach my 40th (woot woot!!!) birthday, I think back on birthdays growing up and I promise you every year she would set a steaming mug of joe in front of me with an expectant look in her eye.  "Today?  You'll start drinking coffee with me?  Please?  You'll love it!"  I did not.  Not even a little.  And I'm not kidding, every year she begged me to start drinking coffee with her.  Bless her heart...

But now I have seen the error of my ways, my wayward heart has found it's home, or my tastebuds have anyway!!

First, because all the cool kids are doing it, you need to download the Starbucks app.  Get yourself a Starbucks gift card to get started.  You register the card on the app and then you can use either the app on your phone or your card to pay when you go to Starbucks!!  After every 12 visits, you get a free drink or food item of your choice.  

It's so easy, even a caveman could do it...

What, you think this menu is confusing?  grande... venti... frappuccino?

Oh and I have to throw this out there.  Don't get their hot chocolate.  Sorry Starbucks...  It tastes like a wet shoe.  How they can achieve perfection in so many areas and yet fail at America's staple, pure unadulterated Hot Chocolate?  It is truly a mystery.

Back to the menu...

Small=Tall
Medium=Grande
Large=Venti

See?  That's not so hard! 

Espresso=Hot coffee flavored with yumminess
Frappuccino=Frozen coffee yumminess

For either of those, just choose your poison.  Iced coffee drinks are also super yummy.  Didn't know I liked them til someone brought me one and I fell in love...

If you've never had a Starbucks you liked, I suggest you start with a White Mocha.  Good hot, cold, or as a frappuccino.  From there try the Salted Caramel Mocha (my happy place, it's like grown up Hot Chocolate (not Starbucks hot chocolate but like super fabulousness Hot Chocolate, like Starbucks wished their hot chocolate was like)).  Next if you like pumpkin, I suggest the Pumpkin Spice Latte.  My friend, Terri, said don't get that bad boy cold, first of all it's orange.  We just don't need to know we're drinking orange cold coffee. 

If you get something at Starbucks that you don't like, they will happily make you something else.  Their customer service is (normally) unparalled.  Just one of the reasons I keep going back.  Have to say, I like it when people are nice...

But what if you just can't stand coffee and nothing but nothing is going to change your mind? 

It's all good.  Have a Caramel Apple Spice!  Liquid caramel apple pie rolling down your throat.  It's so delicious, it's sinful. 

How about something yummy to eat?

Is this cookie not precious?  And it is so delicious!!! 

How about some hot wonderfulness?

The oatmeal is good.  Not great, not bad.  It would be better if they would give me some butter and brown sugar (they do have brown sugar) and maple syrup.  I'm like Elf, I love syrup!

We, my whole family, adore the Bacon, Egg, and Gouda breakfast sandwich.  It is awesome!!!  They also have lots of treats in their bakery case.
