Mid-Afternoon Break: June 11th, 2010
11 JunThe part of the financial market we cover at my job has been a bit quiet today. I suspect that the FIFA World Cup may have something to do with that. I worked on a trading floor during the last World Cup and can tell you that at least at that place no one was doing much trading.
Today I am taking advantage of the peace and quiet to tell you about my near death experience (well it was really my parents who thought I was near death): (more…)

Musing of the Day: Obama Awarded Nobel Peace Prize
9 Oct
President Barack Obama Accepting Nobel Prize @ Press Conference
When one door closes another door opens. Just when critics were saying that Obama might have lost his mystique when Chicago lost the 2012 Olympic bid even after making an appearance in Copenhagen, the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize. This morning President Obama gave his accepting speech at a press conference from the White House and he shut the haters down by saying that he felt like he did not deserve to be in the company of other recipients of the award. Obama is the youngest president to receive the award and many say he has not done enough to be given such an honor. He is not delusional and accepted the award as a “call to action.”
That’s right haters, he’s not acting like he doesn’t know. The swag is back! We didn’t want the 2012 Olympics in Chi Town anyway. Rio deserves it and can have it. We have an economy to recover.

Haul: Sephora and MAC
4 Jul
Costa Chic Lipstick (by MAC), Euro Beat Dazzleglass (by MAC), 4 Gloss Pur (by YSL)
I picked up Costa Chic and Euro Beat to have another killer coral lip combo. I have revealed my obsession with coral lips in the summer multiple times. I wanted to try a Gloss Pur because it has no shimmer but the low color pay off makes this gloss not worth the money.
Naked Lunch, Retrospeck, All That Glitters, Motif, Soft Brown, Saddle, Soba eye shadow by MAC
Naked Lunch, Retrospeck, All That Glitters, Motif, Soft Brown, Saddle, Soba eye shadow by MAC
I got a few lighter/neutral eye shadows from MAC. I do so many dramatic looks and needed a few more colors to do some lighter looks. The camera does not truly show what Motif looks like in person. You can see the pink but it doesn’t pick up the glow.
Sephora Large Brush Holder and Sephora by OPI nail polish in Metro Chic
I’ve had that Sephora Large Brush Holder on my wish list for a long time! So happy I finally got it. It has 2 dividers so you can divide your brush collection into 3 sections.
I wanted to try out a Sephora by OPI nail polish and decided to start out with Metro Chic because of fellow YouTuber lollipop26′s recommendation in one of her videos.
