Look Out World, Mama's Goin' Out!

Hey there ladies, one thing I know for sure is that I never really need an excuse for a night out. However, thanks to Maria Bailey, Host of Mom Talk Radio and author of "The Ultimate Mom Book" (HCI, 2009), as well as top Mom Websites, Newbaby.com, BlueSuiteMom.com and MomSelect.com we have the unique opportunity to gather at Gwinnett Place Mall for an evening of live demonstrations, makeovers, fashion shows, samplings of food and desserts, shopping incentives, giveaways and more!



On May 6, 2010, Please join me at Gwinnett Place Mall from 6 to 9 p.m. as I celebrate with other cool moms for this wonderful social networking opportunity. National Mom's Nite Out is just before the official Mother's Day holiday; born out of an idea that most moms are busy taking care of other mothers on Mother's Day. National Mom's Nite Out gives all moms an excuse to take the night off.



I don't know about you but I am in desperate need to enjoy a night out if for nothing more than good adult conversation. Spot me in the mall and receive a gift from Miss Know It All! Leave a comment below to let me know if you are coming out to par-tay!

**This is a FREE event sponsored by Mega Mart and Gwinnett Daily Post.

See Ya At the Gwinnett Place Mall...

RETHINKING WHAT MATTERS WITH BARE ESCENTUALS: GIVE AWAY!

Girls get ready! Bare Escentuals is Rethinking What Matters and would like to get you in on the conversation.

If you haven't joined the "swirl n tap" revolution now is the time. Bare Escentuals, the mineral makeup pioneer, invites you to sound off and get more than skin deep with their new campaign, Rethink What Matters. Born from employees rethinking makeup itself, the beauty brand found that looking good is more than plastering ourselves with artificial gunk to cover our imperfections, but more about showin' off what you got!

I know, I have been guilty of it too. The self loathing that often accompanies our makeup application. The, "oh my skin looks awful" and "damn these dark circles under my eyes" days. The, "no one can see me without my makeup" moments. Uuggggh! It drives me crazy! Bare Escentuals invites us to challenge ourselves to have honest conversations with our girlfriends about what really matters. Every week at RethinkWhatMatters.com, a new discussion topic will be featured with five questions for you to answer and share with your girlfriends via email, Twitter and Facebook.

So, whats in it for you? FREE PRODUCT! Annnnd, for a few really lucky ladies, an even bigger reward will be given for all of the rethinking that you have been doing. Every week there will be goodies offered to a randomly selected group of people who answer the "Rethink" questions and share with their friends. At the end of nine weeks (3.26.10), one grand prize winner and two runner-ups will be chosen.

Today I have, 1 Flawless Definition Mascara that bareMinerals has provided specifically for this giveaway. All you have to do to enter is this:

1. Subscribe to my blog through email. If you are already have done so, forward my blog to a friend asking them to subscribe then leave a comment telling me that you have done so.


2. Once you have subscribed, leave a comment sharing what it is that you like about this campaign.

I will close this giveaway on Sunday, February 14, 2010, 11pm (EST). The winner will be announced on Monday the 15th.

Good Luck!

A Moment of Honesty...

Dear Friends,

This year is already proving itself to be...well, interesting to say the least. Already I am having to make some tough decisions. Decisions that I should have made long ago. Like whether loving myself or loving someone else is more important. Sounds like an easy enough question I know. But when you are looking at an amazing love like the one I have had the privilege of experiencing, that question seems a little more difficult to answer. Don't get me wrong, I think that I am the bomb! Anyone that has had the pleasure of knowing me will tell you that I go through fazes when (LOL) I really do believe that. Thank God! Anyhoo, I believe part of making a lifetime commitment to someone is that sometimes our relationships require a little self sacrifice especially when its mutual. It's when it's not mutual that a problem arises. Or when a person decides that they are no longer willing to sacrifice because the cost is too great. But people, let me share something with you...ALL love has a price. I can't tell you what price you will pay for love in your life but it definitely costs! Some worth it and some you could have saved your breath for. But you and only you can make that decision for yourself.

I have lost great friends (male and female), family, jobs, my home, my health (mental and physical) and last but not least, what I believed to be the love of my life. Everything I have known for the last 18 years has been compromised. I have gone beyond my limits to revive these things. In my opinion, it was worth all of the sweat and tears behind it. But, what I have come to realize is that those things are gone and there is nothing that I can do about them. The great thing about all of them is that outside of love, it can all be either fixed or replaced.

If I can share anything about my experience with you its this, real unconditional love is out there. I have had it. It's wonderful and possible. And if you are at all a religious or spiritual person, don't let go of that. When I thought that God had left me for dead he showed up at the right time, his time and comforted me (well God and a few nights of handy prescriptions, lol). Don't be bitter it's not becoming of a real lady or gentleman. My grandma always says that you can catch more bees with honey than vinegar. And lastly if you are in a relationship that is not mentally and or physically abusive fight until you can't fight anymore. But remember that it has a cost!

I also want to say thank you to my friends and family that haven't left. I need you and love you. And will never forget that you have stood by me with a flashlight when I was in the dark. To my friends and family that have gone, I miss and love you. You remain a great part of who I am and who I will become.

I have a loooong road ahead of me and from what I hear I will come back to the light on my own one day. Until then I will keep running towards the end of the tunnel because I know that's where the light is supposed to be. LOL

Knowing EVERYTHING and NOTHING at the same time,
