Double D is for …
Dissertation Defense * Dr. Dispo * BiG Day: December 8 ~ Save the Date!
After I passed my presentation with full faculty on Veterans’ Day, I followed my Bestie Evie‘s advice:
Take a Me QT Day.
While I still worked on revising my paper, I also set aside Spa Time this past weekend!
Facial Mask
Based on Fleur De Force‘s The Glam Guide, I used these ingredients for *acne and **dark spots:
Manicure
Then I treated myself to an at-home mani with the following gift sets:
and polished my finger nails with my own lacquers:
O•P•I Got the Blues for Red & Sally Hansen 18K Gold Hardener + Revlon Orchid & Silver Screen + Sally Hansen i ♥ Nail Art Striper in black
My top tip to achieving a lasting nail paint job:
Run freshly coated nails in cold water and dodge hot water!
- Cold water seals in moisture, while hot water repels and drys it out
- If I hand wash dishes, I wear special gloves
- I also wear gloves during hands-on activity
Massage
My good †Christian† friend and fellow prayer warrior, Lisa, came through again, introducing me
Thank GOD for these special gifts of blessings and wonderful company!

If you’ve ever watched Funny Face that starred Audrey Hepburn, then you’ll remember the opening scene when Quality magazine’s editor, Ms. Prescott made time to rhyme:
- Think pink [especially for Breast Cancer Awareness]
- Red is dead
Perfect for the approaching Advent/CHRISTmas season: Pine cones outside my school‘s gazebo that I picked up after I taught speech today! (Fun fact: Last time I scored some was when I went snowboarding with my cousins at Lake Tahoe while I still lived in the Bay Area!)
- Blue is through [including for my *Dallas Cowboys* plus through blue eyeliner and denim tops]
I beg to differ, Ms. Prescott, because I don’t discriminate against any color … Bring on ALL of the above this season, everyday and always, please!
Bottom line: Fashion rules don’t dictate our lives + we may have pieces in our collection that’ll stay timeless.

Thank GOD It’s Fall!
Facing east for the moon rise from my backyard garden … Just another West Texas Friday night!
As much as ☼summer☼ is my favorite season (after all, that’s when my birthday takes place), I’m making the most out of autumn ~ especially going outside for crisp, fresh air!
I’m also all about Starbucks seasonal flavors* ~ from ☼summer’s fruitiness to these comfy delights:
My venti cold cup always comes in handy … for a discount & a drink to last me all ☼day!
Apparently, I was my local barista’s 1st customer to order a Toasted Graham Frappuccino! #StarbucksLovers ♥ #trendsetter
Furthermore, football has kicked off into full swing!
Here are a few of my favorite things for fall …
Nine Fine Fall Flaves
1. Favorite Candle: my Bath & Body Works‘ Salty Caramel that I used to light up my *Dallas Cowboys* jack-o-lantern and Advent †cross† (I’m also all about BBW‘s Pumpkin Pecan Waffles/White Barn‘s Thanksgiving Morning)
2. Favorite Lip Color: toss-up between my red Ardency Inn ♥Love♥ Cat lipstick from Sephora or purple Vera Wang *Rockstar* lip gloss from ULTA (c/o my Bestie Evie)
3. Favorite Drink: please view above {Exhibits B-E}
4. Favorite Blush: the ones from my KleanKolor Double Rainbow palette, plus I think that I’ll try Dulce Candy‘s tip on lip colors in a pill box for cheek colors!
5. Favorite Clothing Item: my birthday gifts ~ specifically the scarf/shawl ~ and my recent online finds plus my Target scores ~ particularly the jeans and booties!
6. Favorite Fall Movie: no new releases, so I’ll go with classic football flicks: Varsity Blues (came out my sr. yr.), Friday Night Lights (with a cameo of my h.s.), Remember the Titans, Any Given Sunday, The Longest Yard (including the original)
7. Favorite Fall Show: Grey’s ♥Anatomy!!! I’ve been counting down for the Season 12 premiere since the Season 11 finale ~ as a loyal fan for over a decade since the very beginning with the previous seasons on DVD
8. Favorite Thanksgiving Food: I’m not going to lie –> my Cranberry Pie #DISPObustAFlow
9. Favorite Halloween Costume: now how about I have y’all pick? My personal faves include when I rocked out my abs live, No. 5 … I won our contest in 2013 as Lone Ranger‘s Tonto and in 2014 as my Nurse Mom who was fine in 1969! Will I make a 3-peat??
Actually, please allow me to add a 10th item:
My #1 Favorite for Fall: my ✌two✌ ♥cute, cuddly companions♥ with whom to softly snuggle for cozy comfort plus who keep me company while hard at work and welcome me home after hard at play!
CHEERS to this time of year!
