I love organization blogs- oddly enough one has to be surprising creative with organization ideas- I love well organized functional spaces- there is nothing more calming to me.
So I have been getting tired of couponing myself to death- stacking and scouring ads to pricematch- etc. and have decided to try a new (to me) place for my beauty products. Ulta- so far every time I have been in there its been a very good experience. They have reasonable prices and a great selection. I went in on my birthday and got my eyebrows mapped (waxed) for free - which by far was my favorite bday freebie. Though I wouldn't do it if I had to pay for it- its like 20 bucks without a tip- which to me is ridiculous just for eyebrows- they do spend a good 20 mins on your brows though. The staff so far has been friendly and helpful- with the exception of a few creeper lurkers. Anyway I've been product junky-ing their store brand products- as they have had some awesome clearance sales on their store products-
Their cosmetic line I have found to be pretty good for mid-price option- and awesome for their clearance sale. -
I love their eyes shadows- which I got a ton of for two dollars a piece ( the best is the matte ones)- though I really love bermuda sand
Lipstick was pretty awesome for 1-2 dollars a piece- especially the moisturizing line-
Automatic Eyeliners- probably by far my favorite for a buck normally eight- they are awesome.
Extreme Wear Cream Blushes- Love them for 1-2 dollar a piece totally worth the price not cakey or smudgey- easy to use- awesome purse makeup

Extreme Wear Cream Foundation- Awesome stuff for purse makeup- I think I got it for like 3-4 dollars a piece- its really versatile- and covers well- I wouldn't wear it for a big night or anything but for on the go- its great
I wouldn't however get their makeup gifts with purchase- I wasn't to impressed with them- the cases looked cheap and honestly to me it didn't look like the same product - but a cheaper product mass produced- I would buy colors seperately and not in bunches and wait for a sale - I also would use their coupons they come in the mail- like 3.50 off of 10-
Shampoo and Conditioners-
They had a great sale on shampoos and conditioners- I would go to this sale again because it was awesome-
Store Brand- works pretty well for the price- I got them on sale for 2 for 10 and then had a 5 off coupon- magazine tearout- so each for 2.50- I really like them aside from their smell- which honestly reminds me of play dough- but I think it depends on which you get- they all have a unique kinda weird smell not bad just not particularly good-
Joico- Liked their conditioners- got big bottles for 12.5- a piece - really gentle- got their shampoo did't love it a little harsh and drying- and really didn't feel like it was cleaning my scalp
AG- 12.50 a piece- AWESOME- Love the leave on conditioner (huge bottle) called Fast Food totally worth the sale price. Conditioner is really thick.
End of story- They have some pretty sweet sales- their everyday prices are comparable to walmart and target- great selection- Don't forget coupons in the mail- sometimes the sales ladies are nice enough to just scan theirs. - and if your bday is coming up definately get your brows done :-)

So my friend Brooke and I went for a visit to this bakery for v-day and it was awesome. I think the macaroons were the very best....and they were bite size. I was totally sick from sugar and we only spent 13 dollars on a ridiculous amount of junk. I highly recommend the chocolate crescent-twas delicious! The money is totally worth it if your going to spend the calories...Make the calories count!

Phil: I'm the cool dad. That's my thing. I'm hip. I surf the Web. I text. LOL: laughing out loud. OMG: Oh my God. WTF: Why the face? Um you know, I know all the dances to High School Musical so..
Claire: What did I tell you would happen if you got him a gun? Deal with this.
Phil: Buddy, uncool.
Claire: That's it? No. The agreement was that if he shoots someone, you shoot him.
Phil: We were serious about that?
Claire: Yes, we were, and now you have to follow through.
Luke: I'm so sorry!
Claire: Liar. Go.
Phil: He's got a birthday party.
Alex: What's more important here, dad?
Claire: You can shoot him afterwards. He'll be home at 2:00.
Phil: I can't shoot him at 2:00. I'm showing a house at 2:00.
Alex: What about 3:00?
Claire: No, he's got a soccer game at 3:00, and then-- Oh, we got to leave for that dinner thing at 5:00. 4:15. We could shoot him at 4:15.
Phil: Yeah, I guess that works for me. [Claire writes "Shoot Luke" on schedule. Luke groans.] Sorry, dude. It's on the calendar.
Mitchell: It's Cameron's turn to be out in the world interacting with other grown-ups while I get to stay at home and plot the death of Dora the Explorer. [mumbling] Fill her backpack with bricks, and throw her into Candycane River...
Manny: [after being pull out of class] Is something wrong? Who's died?
Gloria: No one, Manny.
Jay: Why would you even think that?
Gloria: In Colombia, Manny went to Pablo Escobar Elementary School. If you were pulled out of class, it was definitely to identify a body.
