1. I now always wear an apron while I am cooking (and sometimes beyond). I don’t want gross food splashes on my precious Aude!
2. In the middle of the night, after letting the cat out (you know how they can be!), I no longer go straight back to bed. I make a quick detour to the computer to see what item is currently up. (Although,mac makeup wholesale, I have to admit, I have yet to buy anything in the middle of the night – but just give me time).
3. I now schedule my workouts between item changes.
4. I currently have bookmarked on my computer a whole new collection of amazing shopping sites (although, none near as wonderful at RTC) – courtesy of all the informative Chick Chatters. Uhh, my husband would argue that this is not a ‘positive’ change – but I would have to disagree!
5. For practically every idea that comes into my head, I have to write a corresponding blog. Which is fun, but attracts curious (and sometimes suspicious) looks from strangers when I am standing in the middle of the produce section, furiously scribbling in a pocket sized notebook.
6. I have a new morning routine: Get up before kids – Turn on Computer (assuming it was not left on the night before for night time checks) – Go turn coffee pot on – Go back and click on desktop – Got get coffee – Pull up RTC – Log on and wish early risers “good morning” – Hope that ‘rat-fink’ wild boys do not get up early!
7. When my kids walk by the computer,wholesale mac makeup, they no longer say “Hi Mom”, now they just *Throw the CC Gang Sign*.
8. I have a whole new group of friends that understand and share my love of fashion. Aaaah.
9. After 12 years of marriage, my husband has finally achieved the ultimate goal of complete control over the TV remote – because, of course, I am always on Chick Chat instead of watching TV! (this change he likes!)
10. My kids no longer yell through the house looking for me. They now know exactly where I will be, at the computer, chatting,mac makeup, shopping or blogging.
Hooray For RTC

As many of you are aware,mac makeup, my life has been (at best) crazy lately. My intent had been to continue writing blogs for RTC once things settled down. However, I have come to the conclusion that I will no longer be able to do so. At some point, I hope to have my wine blog up, but I suspect it will be some time. If you would like to know when it is live, please email me at kristen@sipaday.com and I will add you to the mailing list.
Before I stopped writing for RTC,cheap mac makeup, however, I wanted to give you answers to the questions I asked in my last wine blog – for those of you who are dying to know.
What two varieties were crossed to make the grape we now know as Cabernet Sauvignon? Sauvignon Blanc (the white grape variety) and Cabernet Franc (the red grape variety). If you see a bottle marked as “Shiraz-Cabernet” or “Cabernet-Shiraz”, where is it most likely to be from? Most likely, it will be from Australia. This particular combination has been popular out of this Country for a while now. Another little trivia tidbit: Shiraz is the same grape as Syrah. It is only called Shiraz in Australia, South Africa, and sometimes in Canada. Additionally, the grape variety that is listed first in this combination is the primary grape used in the blend. Shiraz-Cabernet means that there is more Shiraz than Cabernet in the blend and vice versa. If you see the terms “estate” and/or “reserve” on a bottle of wine,wholesale mac makeup, what do they mean? Estate means that a majority of the grapes are grown by the winemaker. The percent of estate-grown grapes allowed in a bottling for this designation may vary based on regional laws, however. In addition, it does not mean that the grapes have to be grown on the winemakers personally owned land, just land he controls (i.e. rents).
Reserve means nothing in the majority of places it is used. Although “Reserva” in Spain and “Riserva” in Italy are protected terms, legally controlled to signify a certain amount of years a wine is aged in barrel, most places that allow this term have no legal governance over its usage. Many people do use it to label a special bottle of wine (such as the winery I work at, who used it to denote a cab franc that was aged longer than their classic cab franc and used estate grapes). However, since this is not a controlled term in the majority of places, it can sometimes mean no more than a marketing ploy. What two grape varieties are used to make a Burgundy wine? Pinot Noir is used to make red wines and Chardonnay is used to make white wines. Where is the Central Coast wine region? This region can be found in California.
Keep drinking wine and enjoy the journey!

Click on the picture of hips being measured to learn more about jean fits,mac makeup wholesale, or just click the picture of the R&R pocket (that’s a pair of Rock & Republics, for those who aren’t too denim-savvy) to take the quiz and find out what your style is.
Mine was the William Rast Savoy Jean (pictured below). What’s yours?
Hi Guys and Dolls! I hope you’re all having a great week and are looking forward to the weekend!
Why I decided to Have a Giveaway now & have a Contest Later:
As my Twitter followers know I’ve been going back and fourth on this contest business. Have it now? Have it later with more Prizes? Overall the votes have been close to 50-50, but they were leaning more so tword postponing the contest. As of yesterday, I had decided to just have it now, since my Two Year youtube anniversary was yesterday.
But a few things have changed my mind.
For one,mac makeup, I don’t like to have tons of contests. Mini Giveaways on twitter, sure. Really, need to do that more often since they are so fun and sporadic, they are in no way a ploy to gain more subscribers/followers, just rewarding the ones I have. But big contests on youtube take a lot of time and energy,mac makeup wholesale, and are a lot harder to judge than they look. It’s the holiday season, and I know I’m busy with my new job, but I also know other people are busy as well, so less people would be able to participate.
More over, I do want my next contest to be big. I want to buy stuff with you guys in mind, and have time to gather fantastic sponsors. I want to be able to have a few winners, sort of like “Best in Show” “Miss Congeniality” and stuff like that. I want to give people an opportunity to win who are crazy talented, and are just getting started,wholesale mac makeup, but have a lot of heart. I also want people who can’t do videos to have a chance to win something. Also, perhaps after the holidays, some of you will have new makeup to play with? SO I’ll be delaying the big contest until January.
How To Win:
You have to be subscribed to my youtube channel.

I am subscribed to many celebrity magazines as well as fashion ones and it seems that the new trend for Fall is plaid. The more I see it,cheap mac makeup, the more I like it. I will never be fond of the Pizza Hut tablecloth looking plaid but these styles look good.
Here are some top celebs wearing plaid shirts and each makes the look different. I think the shirts can be paired with all jeans as you you see here they range from wide leg to skinny jeans. For me personally the Jennifer Anniston look is best.
This one is for the Twilight fans,wholesale mac makeup! I have yet to see the movies or read the books but I know it is very popular right now. From work to play see how Kristen Stewart flaunts her plaid style.
One of Hollywoods hottest trendsetters right now is Lauren Conrad. She has been spotted many times wearing plaid and pulls it off well. (what doesn’t look good on her though?)
Another plaid shirt lover is Lindsay Lohan. She has many pics taken while wearing plaid and leggings and she can pull the look off well. This particular shirt is the Ivy Ruffle Plaid.
Here we have Taylor Momsen wearing the Dolce & Gabbana Plaid Shirt Dress.
Here are a few more celebs and how they wear plaid.
Rihanna
Beyonce
& Nicky Hilton

Ree Drummond is not your average housewife. An Oklahoma native, Ree promptly went off to UCLA for college, where she fell in love with big-city life. Upon graduating, however, she realized that she was not head-over-heels in love with her college boyfriend James, so she broke up with him and moved back home for a few weeks until she could move to Chicago, where her little sister and a new life awaited her.
Enter Marlboro Man and one of the greatest true-life love stories of all time, known hereafter as Black Heels to Tractor Wheels (http://thepioneerwoman.com/category/black_heelstractor_wheels/the_night_i_met_marlboro_man).
Since that fateful day, Ree has gone from being a city girl through and through to being a city girl stuffed in a rancher’s wife’s body – and absolutely loving it.
For three years,wholesale mac makeup, Ree has kept up one blog that has sort of morphed into five or six different blogs in one website, each post getting hundreds of comments because of her wit and ability to laugh at herself and the situations she finds herself in.
Not only does Ree tell often hilarious tales of her years with Marlboro Man and the Punks (her husband and kids), she has also invited other famous bloggers like Bakerella and Smitten Kitchen to spend a weekend at the ranch while swapping recipes, and does giveaways (usually of kitchen-type items) on a fairly regular basis.
Ree’s blog is split into five main sections, so that’s how I’ll describe them here:
Confessions
This tab comprises snippets of daily life on the ranch, usually involving any of Ree’s four Punks,mac makeup, people who happen to be on the ranch, or the ranch animals (dogs, cows, horses, etc.).
This is also where you’ll find the Black Heels to Tractor Wheels saga, which is definitely something that will keep you hooked, especially if you love to read love stories. You’ll laugh and you will cry, I promise. But most importantly, you’ll appreciate Ree’s openness, honesty and sense of humor as she writes about her relationship with Marlboro Man, from the night they met through their wedding (with more to come!).
Cooking
Ree loves to cook. Ree loves to bake. Ree loves to make sushi. And best of all, Ree loves to take step-by-step pictures and post each recipe and cooking experience as a blog. She’s posted appetizers, breakfast, lunch,mac makeup wholesale, dinner, snacks – anything you can imagine, and all different kinds of food. If I must say, Cowboy Food and Cowgirl Food are my favorite tabs for some really delicious down-home cookin’. Look at those pictures and tell me you’re not salivating already.
Photography
P-Dub is also an avid photographer, and posts not only her gorgeous pictures of Oklahoma country life (sounds like an oxymoron until you see her photos), but different photography and Adobe Photoshop tutorials. I’ll just say that she knows a dang lot about photography, and is more than willing to share it all with us. Even if you’re not a photographer, you’ll drool over the beauty of these photos. I promise.
Home & Garden
When Ree married Marlboro Man and moved to the ranch, they spent a lot of time redoing the different buildings on the property, especially The Lodge. This tab chronicles a lot of that period, and also follows Ree’s exploits in gardening and interior design. She also gives her opinion on a lot of products that you probably use or should use in your own house. It’s definitely something to take a look at.
Homeschooling
As if she doesn’t already do it all, Ree homeschools her Punks. Since the school bus had to make a 20-mile trip out of its way to get them and it was wearing on the kids, they decided to homeschool their kids (http://thepioneerwoman.com/homeschooling/2008/10/yes-im-a-homeschooling-freak-of-nature/ This link could be hyperlinked to “they…kids”). This tab is very useful for anyone who homeschools or is curious about homeschooling in general – she is very thorough in explaining everything she does and even provides lots of links to useful homeschooling resources.
So, lovely Chick Chatters, go spend half an hour exploring The Pioneer Woman’s blog and tell me you’re not in love with her life and dying to spend a weekend out on the ranch.

Consider this your handy-dandy survival guide for 24-hour madness…except that I actually have no idea if this will work, since it hasn’t happened yet. However, if my astute calculations are correct,mac makeup, I do not foresee any major glitches in my flawless grand master plan. None of you better wimp out on me. Now I know that this is a little east-coast centric, but those of us who have to be up at 3am vs. all you PST midnighters need all the extra help that we can get.
Phase 1: Two days before the event (Wed.)
First, panic over the announcement. Then CEASE all OPERATION: PURCHASE until further notice.
Begin OPERATION: BUDGET. Plan to call Kamie to buy RTCash, or if you have self-restraint (like I do….[snort]….) set a dollar figure in your head that you will not surpass. Also understand that you will absolutely end up exceeding this amount and there is nothing that you can do about it except cry later.
Phase 2:
OPERATION:CRANKY.
Stay up late Wednesday night and get up early on Thursday morning, and work like a mad person throughout the day, so that come 9pm on Thursday (EST… adjust your schedules accordingly), you will be so exhausted that you must force yourself to bed.
Phase 3:
OPERATION:TRIGGER FINGER. (1 day before event.)
Practice your speed-clicking, ladies. You don’t want anyone beating you out on those capris. Just make sure you don’t follow through and actually buy something.
Stock up on supplies. Snacks, caffeine, coffee, energy drinks. And elastics. (Don’t ask, just get them. I’ll explain later.) Do not caffeinate yourself the day before.
Phase 4:
OPERATION: NOCTURNE
Go to bed,wholesale mac makeup, 9pm. Set alarm for 2:55am. Begin.
Phase 5:
OPERATION:SPEND
No clarification necessary.
Phase 6:
OPERATION:HOOKY.
Call out sick. Call babysitters/husbands/cousins/brothers/sisters/anyone to take care of everything else while you are rendered useless.
Phase 7:
OPERATION:CHICK CHAT
Find an RTC buddy for texting exchange to make sure you don’t miss anything. Rely on your fellow girls to help you stay awake by chatting and staying engaged at all times.
Phase 8:
OPERATION:RUBBER BAND
Keep a rubber band around your wrist at all times. When you get the feeling that you are about to pass out, snap it on your wrist hard. Sure, you may wind up with lots of red welts, but the important thing here is remaining awake at all times. How far will you go? I’m willing to take extreme measures.
Phase 9:
OPERATION:RECOVER
Clear Saturday’s schedule. (I’ve already canceled all of my Saturday engagements so I can sleep in.)
Phase 10:
OPERATION:CARDBOARDVILLE
Pack your bags and join me, since none of us will be able to afford living in a real home anymore. At least we will have our clothes.
So… the only question left is,cheap mac makeup, do you have what it takes?
Sleeping is for amateurs.

Toward the end of this semester, my friends and I put together a Naked Lady party in one of our apartments.
What’s a Naked Lady party, you ask? Only one of the best ways to get new, free clothing for the summer!
Throughout the previous week, all of us looked through all of our clothing, shoes,mac makeup wholesale, accessories – really, anything in our apartments – and found all kinds of things we either weren’t going to wear anymore or had never really worn and realized it wasn’t going to happen. We set a date for our party, and during the day we all took our bags of belongings over to her apartment and spread them all over the living room. At a set time in the evening, we all returned with empty bags and found that our friend had arranged all of the clothing into piles: pants, sweaters, tees, nicer tops, accessories, shoes,wholesale mac makeup, and a pile of “other things.”
Then we all started to make the rounds through the room, digging through the stacks to find clothing that was cute and in our sizes. The good thing about this party is that girls of all different sizes come, so there’s always plenty to go around. Plus, we all know from RTC that not everything runs TTS, so there’s always a chance that something not usually in your size might fit you. Another plus is that sometimes one of your friends will throw in something of theirs that you’ve been in love with ever since you laid eyes on it, and then if you’re the first one to grab it, it’s now yours!
And since we’re all smart girls, we know that no one wants our old, ratty clothes. So it’s an unspoken stipulation that you only bring clothes that you wouldn’t be embarrassed to wear – that way no one ends up bringing a bunch of nice clothes and ending up with nothing.
It’s always a fun, casual event that’s more relaxed than it sounds – not exactly the Running of the Bulls. Everyone just wanders around filtering through the clothing with a cup of coffee in one hand and a few shirts in the other, all the while carrying on conversation with someone next to you. It’s also a great way to get closer to people you don’t really know. It’s kind of impossible not to bond with people when you’re picking out their clothing.
And the best part about our Naked Lady party is that we’re able to take all of the clothes that didn’t get picked up and donate them all to a local charity so that someone in need will end up with the clothes.
I highly recommend getting together five to twenty friends and throwing your own Naked Lady party. It’s a great way to slim down your wardrobe and get rid of those clothes that you still kind of like but know you really won’t wear for another season. It’s extremely casual and everyone who goes always ends up with some really great items. Some girls even bring their old semi-formals, dress tops, expensive shoes – you never know what’s going to show up.
All in all, it’s a great way to pick up some new clothes and really strengthen your friendships, which can struggle to really survive the summer if you don’t see anyone. So call up your friends and throw your own party – I guarantee you’ll have a good time!
