How to Say NO! redtagcrazy.com blog

Is saying no such a hard thing for you to say? Are you a people pleaser or do you tend to want to please yourself and not others- perhaps that’s your husband,wholesale mac makeup! If so, how many times has he told you no? So now is the time to say no back! Sometimes a simple one word phrase is all you need to stand up for yourself. You know how much you can take and just like almost all women in in the world, you are taking on too much because you don’t know how to say no without feeling guilty. Here’s how to every person you come in contact with!

#1 Your children. This population is probably the hardest group to say no to. Some kids think that they can have anything they want because they know you will do anything to get them those things that make their eyes shine and have the biggest smiles! – although you know you love to see their little faces light up, you know your wallet can’t take another blow; especially during this economy recession. Say no! They may cry or throw a temper tantrum but at the end of the day they still love you and more than likely they are over it. This will let them no there are boundaries; believe it or not, children want and need boundaries. By saying no, you are turning them into future great adults and contributions to society. Also, making them earn that item that they want will teach them the value of money. Knowing that it takes hard work to get whatever they want in life will set them on the right foot. As well as, this makes them to become goal-oriented. So later if they want to go to the best University; they know that that is a goal and it will take hard work to get there. So no matter how old your children are, go ahead and instill this value of a dollar so they aren’t the ones living on the streets and make good choices.

#2 Your spouse. Saying no also instills boundaries. If he asks for you to get him a drink every night while he is sitting on the couch and you do it every night for 20 years then he’ll expect you keep doing it for another 20 years. If you don’t want to get him a drink you need to to start saying no now. Waiting will only prolong what you don’t like. You may think that he acts lazy because his mom did everything for him; which is probably true but you need to break the cycle and make him realize that you are not his mother. You are his wife, not his mother,mac makeup, waitress, maid or slave. Once he gets used to this change in your behavior,cheap mac makeup, you will start to see his level of respect increase for you. You’re not “super-wife” and once he’ll realize this then not only will it be less stress on you but your relationship will grow and be stronger. Personally, I have had to ‘raise” my future husband. When I first met him I could have swore that I thought he was in preschool because that was how he acted. Now he is turning into a young man, which is great to see. I have had to mold and shape him because he never really had a family to do that for him. Trust me, its been tough but it is well worth it! He is more responsible and he respects me much more now than he ever has. You’re situation probably isn’t this bad, but that’s a good thing cause it won’t be as hard. Be presistent like you have to be with your children (men are children, right? haha j/k). In the end, both of you will be happy just because you said no.

#3 The rest of your family. If they have seen you with your immediate family; they will treat you the same way. Say no when they ask you to do something when you already have 20 other things to do. They may be upset with you but they will get over it and they’ll start viewing you as the person they can’t run all over.

#4 Your co-workers and friends. Co-workers come and go; don’t waste time trying to impress them. Boss on the other hand, if you want to move up in a company don’t always say no but you can in some degrees. Friends, that’s it they’re friends; you are evidently friends with them for a reason, right? They’ll understand when you say no. They tend to be the most forgiving in all the groups mentioned here. So don’t worry to bad when you say no to a friend; if she/he is a true friend then they’ll still be your friend.

By saying no, you’ll gain a new R-E-S-P-E-C-T with all those you come into contact with. Stand firm on your decision and people will respect you for that. If they don’t, then you don’t need them in your life to begin with!

Erica’s Next Shipment What Didn’t Work redtagcrazy.com blog

redtagcrazy.com

current sale alerts blog my account

I knew I was taking a lot of chances with this most recent package, so I was not surprised that some things did not work out well for me. I was expecting it, so I wasn’t exactly disappointed. However, a lot of the risks that I took (Such as the ABS Painterly top) really ended up working out fabulously.  So despite my failures, I walked away with several awesome pieces. First, I will tell you where I went wrong, and why.

ABS by Allen Schwartz Belted Ponte Full Skirt, Size 10:

I’m not sure if I would call this a failure, necessarily. The skirt is absolutely GORGEOUS. But it was a bit thicker (read: warmer) than I was expecting, and since I am on the road to losing weight, it was just a tad bit snug (i am on the bigger end of a size 30/10.) I realized that if I sat down, the belt would dig into my belly as I was sitting at my desk at work all day, so that really wasn’t going to work for me. It makes me sad to pass up, but I know that it will just sit in my closet, so I made the decision that I will not keep it.

James Jeans Pihllip Flip Flop/Ballet Straight Leg,mac makeup wholesale, Size 30:

These. jeans. are. hot. But, my thighs got the best of me. If I could saw off… like, an inch, that’d be great. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do with these, but I think I’m leaning towards taking a gamble and putting them in my closet for a while. I start up my dance classes next week, so I am anticipating losing some weight. I’m sure someone might be interested in them down the road if they end up not working out.

Hudson Flare Leg Denim Jean, Size 30

Tighter than I was hoping. I should have probably sized up, and for $90, they don’t fit exactly how I want, so they gotta go back

For Joseph Jeweled Dress, Purple Rain, Medium:

I sized down on this, and it still fits me far too big for my liking. Huge. I love the neckline, but no belt or anything could save this dress for me. Plus, it looked fantastically horrific with my bubblebutt. If you are considering this dress, listen to Elmy, me, and Tammy, too: GO 2 SIZES SMALLER. This is not the case for ALL FJ items. My button down fits fantastically — once I figure out how to button it correctly. (Not the fault of the shirt, just me.)

linQ Turtleneck Longsleeve Tee, Frost, Large:

This doesn’t fit horribly. I got it for around $7 on crazy sale, so who can complain? It fits me a little big though, and is a smidge sheer. If I can’t find a home for it,wholesale mac makeup, it won’t go to waste either.

Sworn Virgins Andrea Strap Tank, Olive, Large:

Everything about this was gigantic on me. The straps too long, the material too much. It was sad, because I loved it very much. So soft. But no sense keeping it if I can’t wear it.

Sworn Virgins Veronica 3/4 Sleeve Top, Lavender, Large:

Oh this is TINY. I took it out of the package, looked at it, and just said, No way. I made a half-hearted attempt to put it on, but I could tell before even putting it over my head that I would not be comfortable in it, so back it goes. Too bad. Another AWESOME top.

Ambiance Double Layer Striped Top, Blue, Large:

This got cancelled from my cart since it was out of stock when I shipped my cart, but I was on the fence about it anyway. Especially where Erin said to size up in her blog…there was nowhere for me to go. Oh well. I gotta be honest, no crocodile tears over this one.

Sworn Virgins Marie Open Back Top, Cocoa, Large:

This got cancelled out of my cart due to a damaged item. That being said, I am still on the lookout for a Large in this top (Not white) — If you’ve got one, let me know!

Oscar de la Renta Silk Tank, Luna, Size 10:

Out of stock, so it got cancelled from my cart. I have my eye on the black one though next time it comes around!

So, I know that this looks like a lot of failed purchases, and to some extent, you are right. But I did go way outside of my comfort zone, but I also found a new zone of comfort (You like that,cheap mac makeup, don’t you? RIght now I am wearing my SV Sofia pants. LOVE them.). My cart was huge… 17 items that actually got shipped to me, not counting the 3 cancelled pieces. So, I promise you, I will have lots of good news for you with pictures just as soon as I can get them together. Stay tuned!
And, if you want any of these items, they are most likely posted in the swap group, but feel free to grab me on CC or leave a comment if you want them. As I said, everything is up for grabs, except for the items I did not receive, and except for the James, because I am determined to make them work…someday. Goal Jeans. WOO.

Missshop’s It Girl of the Week redtagcrazy.com blog

redtagcrazy.com,wholesale mac makeup

current sale alerts blog my account

I am so excited to present my IT girl this week. My reason is because she is fantastic. I have two favorite top two actresses that I adore and this little lady is one of them. I will present the other one soon! I fell in love with my IT girl when I saw her in The Notebook. After seeing the love story unfold between her and my top favorite actor Ryan Gosling I was head over heels. Ever since that movie I have watched and obsessed over everything she is in. Yes I am a bit obsessed, but who wouldn’t be? The girl is amazing. Let us get to it,cheap mac makeup!!!

IT GIRL OF THE WEEK IS…….

RACHEL MCADAMS

WHY SHE IS MY PICK FOR IT GIRL OF THE WEEK:

She is a tremendous actress, fun to watch, relatable, cute, funny, charming and intelligent. The list could go on for days.
Every woman and/or girl in the world wanted to be Allie in The Notebook!! Come on you know it is true. We all wanted to be the girl written a letter a day for a year by Noah.
She is respectful of her life. I really do love that I don’t know much about her personal life. She is a very private person who does not get caught up in the Hollywood trouble.

MOVIES YOU MAY KNOW HER FROM:

Mean Girls (2004)
The Notebook (2004)
Wedding Crashers (2004)
Red Eye (2005)
The Family Stone (2005)
Married Life (2008)
The Lucky Ones (2008)

She is also filming Sherlock Holmes right now. I also read that she is going to be staring in The Time Traveler’s Wife to be out in August 2009. So exciting for anyone who enjoyed that book.

Here is the clip that made every woman and MEN rewind back again and again to watch over and over

Here is a cute clip of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling winning award for best kiss from The Notebook and their cute reenactment of the kiss!!

Here is my very favorite scene from the movie that I LOVE. It reminds me of my husband and our fights. He can be an arrogant son-of-a-b&^ch and I can be a pain in the ass 99.9% of the time

STYLE: I actually do not have a lot to say on her style. She is not seen too often in magazines and when she is seen she is seen it is in a huge coat because she is in Canada. I find her to be completely adorable when I do see her though. Her style on the red carpet is girly and playful. She loves to change her hairstyles. She is blonde one minute and brunette another.

JUICY GOSSIP: Since she is such a private person there really never is any gossip on her. She has had an off and on relationship with Ryan Gosling that is sadly off again. She is rumored to be dating Josh Lucas.

Lets make a who should Rachel McAdams be dating poll.

Josh Lucas or Ryan Gosling?

Please answer the poll below. I think you guys all know my answer. Hmmm RYAN GOSLING DUH,mac makeup wholesale!

Stay tuned for my IT girl next week!

Brush With Greatness redtagcrazy.com blog

Brushes with greatness or should I say, near misses. After living in Los Angeles for 10+ years, in and around the entertainment industry, one will have quite a few of them; little pieces of random, useless experiences! Usually, they spill out of my memory like water dripping from a leaky faucet. Not being a person with a good long term memory, I have very often forgotten all about some of them until something happens to trigger the memory.

When I am old and senile, repeating a story for the third time in a row at the Christmas dinner table, I am sure that my family will kindly pat me on the shoulder and say “sure, sure, Granny, whatever you say.” So, while the neurons are still firing, relatively well anyway… on most days… I thought I would shake out those memories and put them down for all you RTCers, to have fun with and laugh at. And,mac makeup wholesale, you will have to trust me that they are all true. (want more details?… just ask!).

Insulted Robert Stack.

Fought Aids with Elizabeth Glazer.

My 21st birthday Akiko, money and diamonds! Oh My! redtagcrazy.com blog

redtagcrazy.com

current sale alerts blog my account

As most of you already know,mac makeup wholesale, this past weekend (August 8th, to be exact) was my 21st birthday.  What started off as just a weekend at the casino with the boyfriend, celebrating my legality, soon turned in to the best weekend of my entire life. Let’s just say that by the end of the weekend, I was $240.00 richer, engaged, and finally 21! Here’s how it happened:

The boyfriend and I wanted to spend my 21st weekend at the casino, because although was 21 when we started dating, he has not went to the casino in over 2.5 years, just because I was underage, and he didn’t want to go without me. (awe, so sweet )  So naturally, we decided that the casino would be the perfect place to celebrate my 21st birthday, while also giving us a weekend away to relax, and enjoy the last days of summer.  I was  looking forward to this trip SO much, seeing as I have not went ANYWHERE all summer long; all I could think about was he and I,wholesale mac makeup, sipping frozen drinks, poolside, by day; and by night, sipping on mixed drinks and gambling.

Luckily, I work with a man who is a high roller at the casinos down on the gulf coast (about an hour and a half south from where I live), and, because I am just SO nice to the people I work with, I was fortunate to talk a co-worker into getting us free hotel rooms at one of the nicest casinos down there.

So, the BF and I set off on our weekend extravaganza Friday afternoon, after I got out of school. I took a mini session last week, which meant I was in class from 8-4 every single day; therefore, by Friday, I was more than ready for a weekend getaway. I rushed home from school, finished packing, quickly visited with my family that was in town, and by the time the bf and I finally got on the road, I was NOT in the most pleasant mood.

I was grouchy, stressed, PMS’ing, and, unfortunately, my BF was the one who was stuck in a car with me for the 1.5 hour ride to our hotel, and catch all the heat from my mood swings. I must say, he was very patient with me, and somehow managed to tolerate my obnoxiousness the entire way there.

Once we arrived, we got lost trying to park. Yeah. It sounds like a pretty easy thing to do… I mean, all you do is park your car, go inside, check in, and viola. Nope. Not that easy. There were TWO parking garages to our hotel. One was for the casino entrance, the other was for the hotel entrance. Somehow, we passed up the hotel entrance, and parked at the casino one. Which meant, we had to walk all the way through the casino, (mind you, at this point, I was not yet 21, so I had to wear one of those stupid armbands so that everyone knew I was underage and would not let me gamble/drink), to get to the hotel check in. Once we checked in, we had to walk allll the way back, find out car, then park in the right garage, so that we could get to our hotel room.

So, around 7:30, we finally get to our hotel room, unpack, settle in, and start to talk about our plans for the night. We decided to go ahead and get ready, go eat, then by then it would be almost midnight, and we could just go straight to the casino and gamble the night away. But before we got ready, my BF wanted to give me my birthday present (which, BTW, he was NOT supposed to get me anything else, b/c he paid for me to have my hair highlighted, and my body wave, and that was supposed to be my present). So, he went ahead and gave me my gift, which was a hand made jewelry box that he had his uncle make for me. It is made of wood, has pretty felt inside of it, and is the perfect size to store my glasses, and other things in when I go to bed at night.

After he gave me my gift, we started getting ready for the night. Of course, I already knew what I would be wearing: The Akiko Audrina dress. So, I put on my flirty, ruffle dress, and immediately my BF was complimenting how pretty I looked. I can’t tell you how many times he told me that I looked pretty, or told me that he liked my dress. I started putting on my makeup on the bed, while he went to the bathroom to shave, and when I heard him  come out of the bathroom, I just figured he was coming to get something out of his bag (I didn’t know what he was doing,mac makeup, b/c my back was towards him), but boy was I wrong.

I heard him say: “I know I have told you this already, but you look really pretty tonight. I think you would look even pretter wearing this, though”

I turned around, to see what he was referring to, and there he was, down on one knee, with the most beautiful ring I had ever seen sparkling from inside of a Kays jewelers box.

I said “OMG! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!” and jumped up on the bed, and into his arms. We both started crying, and squeezing the life out of each other for a few minutes or so; then, he sat me down on the bed, got back down on one knee, asked me to marry him, I said yes, and he put the ring on my finger.

I was COMPLETELY shocked, and full of emotions. I felt happy, scared, shocked, overjoyed, excited, and so much more. He and I sat down and text messaged and called all of our friends and family, then after sharing the great news with everyone, we went out to eat. Turns out, we finished eating around 10:00 pm, which left us 2 hours until we could go gamble, so, we came back to the room, and ended up falling asleep and did not wake up until the next morning.

So, we went gambling at around 9 am the next morning (on my actual birthday), and 5 minutes, and 10 dollars after beginning, I won 240.00 all at once, on the nickle slots. Talk about lucky.

The rest of the weekend was pretty much bliss. My best friend made the trip down, to celebrate my birthday and engagement; the fiance and I went to the mall, shopped a little; my BF, fiance, and I went to the beach the night of my birthday, and drank mixed drinks and talked about random memories from back in the day when we first started dating; and of course, we all went gambling again, and lost all of the  money left in our budgets for the weekend.

I think it is safe to say, my 21st birthday weekend was one that I will  never forget. It holds a special place in my heart, because it was a first (and hopefully a last, when it comes to getting engaged) time for  many things:  I got engaged, wearing my pink Akiko dress (for the very first time), and as if that wasn’t enough to make the weekend unforgettable, I won 240 dollars my very first time to ever step foot into a casino.

Sigh. Life’s good.

Here are some pictures that were taken during my amazing weekend:

Desperately Seeking Hairstyle Advice redtagcrazy.com blog

redtagcrazy.com

current sale alerts blog my account

Okay, I admit it, I’m desperate. It’s high time I found a new hairstyle… one that is low maintenance, low cost, and most importantly, highly attractive I might be asking for too much, but I figured I’d reach out to you all to help me! Trust me, I need it!

Background information: I have naturally wavy hair that frizzes really easily. One side is worse than the other,wholesale mac makeup, but both are pretty bad. I had a baby afro until I was like 3, and I had bangs until 8th grade – believe me when I say it was a bad look. It blowdries pretty well, but I usually have to flat iron it afterwards to get it to behave, and if I want to have it keep it’s natural wave, I can use cream/lotion style leave-in conditioner to calm the frizz.

Here’s a recent picture of me with hair that just dried naturally, no products in it or anything (just a little bit of John Frieda spray conditioner):

… and here is one with me straightening and caring about my hair for a night out:

Most of the time, I throw in some Biolage lotion leave-in conditioner and let it air dry, especially in the summer. It usually ends up looking a LITTLE better than the first picture, and if I really work hard, I can get it to be pretty curly.

I have been getting highlights for the past 2 years pretty regularly. I’m a little tired of paying so much for them, but I also don’t want flat colors like out of a box. I did the box dyes for a while, but eh… I think I look better with highlights. I’ll leave it to you guys to decide though! Although, you should know that one time I tried to do highlights myself and ended up paying $250 for a fix up at a salon. So, needless to say, do-it-yourself dye is out of the picture.

Here are a couple shots of my “hair through the ages” – just to give you an idea of where I’m coming from:

From Left to Right, Top to Bottom:

April/May 2005 – I was in college and got a pretty terrible haircut after growing my hair out. Basically, I went to the nearby salon and said, I want it about shoulder length, and told the stylist to work her magic. She cut it a little too short and didn’t put many layers in at all, just “angles” around the front that (in my opinion) didn’t flatter me at all. Since I had class and I didn’t have time for her to redo parts (nor did I want to lose any more length in layering), I left unhappy. I also started using box dyes in this timeframe.
August 2005 – Finally, my hair is long enough again to scrunch it into a style. This is about as curly as it gets, and this took a LOT of work for me because it was so short. I think now I have a better grip on styling products, so I could do it with more ease, but I am worried that getting my hair cut this short again will affect my ability to “scrunch it and forget it” as I am currently prone to doing.
May 2006 (bottom left) – Yes, this is about a year of growing it out. Doesn’t look much different, does it?! I probably got a few haircuts between August 05 and May 06, but I was trying to grow it out, and nothing happened. Pretty sure I was still box dying it at this point.
August 2007 (bottom right) – What a mess. This is over two years of “growing out” – blowdried and flat ironed. I stopped getting regular trims and dying, and it showed. This was probably the nicest my hair looked all summer, and I let it continue to grow for about another month until I started getting highlights and cuts pretty regularly.

(PS: Maybe if you’re lucky, one day I will post hair pictures from my youth – maybe. Talk about embarrassing ha!)

Current situation: Waiting for inspiration. Sad to say, I’d rather spend my money on RTC right now than on a $150 cut and style with highlights! You can see from the first two pictures that it’s getting long and damaged, especially when I let it air dry.

My personal opinion: I prefer long hair… it’s so much easier to just let it do its own thing, and most of the time, I feel like I’d regret cutting it! I like how long layers look on me, but sometimes I think that style makes me look much younger than I really am. (I’m going to be 26 in July.) I’d like to change things up and get it cut to my shoulder, but on the other hand,mac makeup, I want to have long hair while I still can. I know that at some point, I’m going to have to bite the bullet and cut it – probably when I have kids and they get into the “grabby” phase.

Now that all that’s out of the way – HELP ME! I need a new hairstyle and I don’t know where to start. Should I just keep what I have? Should I do something drastically different? Should I dye or cut, or both? Should I just go into a salon and say “Do what you wish”…???

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated – inspiration pictures,cheap mac makeup, personal experiences, anything.

So… just to repeat…
Basic Requirements:

Must be relatively easy to style
Must be flattering on me
Must be pretty inexpensive to maintain

… maybe you folks can help me to make a decision. I am obviously stuck and hopeless.

So now, you have all these clothes from RTC and you don’t know how to piece them together with existing and new items; especially for night time. Evenings out are thought of as a time to dress up- get glamorized- be fashionable,wholesale mac makeup, look and feel sexy all the same time. Unfortunately, at night is when I have seen the most fashion mishaps around the East Coast; whether this is because they don’t know how or they don’t have time to put a look together, or simply do not care if they look like the misfit with the fashion police chasing after them.

In order to prevent this, I have decided to come up with a few general rules/tips that you can apply to almost any outfit.

Tip 1: Do not wear all 1 color; instead mix and match! You know you’ve seen people wear all red from head to toe- these are evidently the people who do not have a clue to how to dress and what looks good on them. By far, I think this is the worse fashion victim and if this explains you- please, at least throw on denim with a red shirt. It’s the 21st century, have fun with it!

Tip 2: Your bottom half (pant) should be a different shade than your top half (shirt). Do not wear faded, light denim with a white shirt. If you are a single lady,cheap mac makeup, men will definitely be looking at you, but for the wrong reason.

Tip 3: You know those chunky, thick sole shoes (not wedges) that were so popular at the turn of the century? I know I do cause I have a pair in closets that haven’t seen the sunlight since about 2002 and that’s exactly where they need to be. Bottom line: that was a trend that is no longer in style: discontinue them from your wardrobe, please!

Tip 4: Unless you want to attract the wrong attention and look a little bit trampy – please watch what you are putting on your body. In other words, if you have on a low-cut top, cover your bottom half (no mini skirt). If you want to reveal your legs, then cover up the momma bits! There is a difference between sexy and slutty.

Tip 5: If you have a mirror when you are getting dressed- just look at yourself. If you are happy and feel good about yourself then your outfit best describes you and you know that this is the image you want to portray. Your confidence is going to shine and everyone will be saying how great you look,mac makeup wholesale! IF you put on something and it does not “feel” right then change into something else (if you don’t like it, odds are others won’t like it either). If you don’t like it because you have gained 10 pounds then that’s a whole another subject and maybe another blog. At that time you can’t change your pounds but you can change your clothes so pick something that makes you glow; which brings me to my next tip:

Tip 6: If you have gained those extra pounds or you ordered a size too small off of RTC then either return the item or drop a few pounds. Please do not try to fit into the items that are too snug (and you know what I mean). You know you have seen those women who have on a size small when they need a large… or even the girls in an XS when they should’ve just gotten a small! See that clothing item as a goal that you want to reach and don’t wear it until it fits you in all the right places. Just because it is a designer label doesn’t mean it looks good on you if it is too small.

I hope this helps; I am not trying to badger anyone but hopefully you got some helpful tips that you can apply to your new purchases and old.
