Bump it, LOUDER...

The Black Eyed Peas tell us, in fact, to PUMP IT.

I however, feel the need to Bump It. My hair that is. You may have heard of this new, As Seen on TV, infomercial-tastic hair contraption known as the BumpIt. I've had a life- long battle with flat hair that has no uumpf or ability to be BIG so of course I trotted down to Walgreens and snapped one right up!

I want big hair.

And last but not least!

Don't worry honey, I'm not a prostitution whore.
And the buhbbies look great!

Anyway I am here to report that BumpIts are relatively easy to use and definitely do create height at the crown of the head. Also, a handy dandy teasing comb is included in the package, which is hot because I was meaning to buy one of those but I just kept forgetting whenever I was at the store and just bought 18 tubes of pink lip gloss instead.

But that's a story for another day.

With my hair texture, it seems that the whole BumpIt idea works best to give height to a ponytail or updo.

Por ejemplo

Wearing my hair down with the BumpIt is not an option, as my hair slides all around and the teeth thingies show, making the whole things look unnatural and weird. This was what I was really looking for, so I doubt I will really be using the BumpIt very often.

Back to this hair style

Snooze.

School's Out!

What better way to spend my first Sunday of summer vacation than brunching with my nearest and dearest?

Bloody marys are a must- have!

BM essentials- the order is the key:
1. Lots of ice
2. Seasonings next if your mix is bland- jarred horseradish, s & p, Tobasco, Worcestershire, celery salt
3. Vodka
4. BM mix

This method jazzes up even store bought Mr. T's Bloody Mary mix.

Who IS that girl making delicious bloodies at the Tree Lot?! ;)

*Ting!*

That's the sound of crystal champagne flutes meeting as friends make a toast- the happiest sound in my world!

I've decided to start a blog to chronicle my summer adventures. It's been a great year but I've been up to my diamond studs in school work, and I am looking forward to having the time to do all the fun activities I've had on my list. So, ladies, stay tuned because it's going to be one fabulous summer!

"I couldn't help but wonder..." (Carrie Bradshaw catchphrase) what makes champagne pink, anyway? Besides the fact that some ancient champagne maker realized that it's cuter. There are two methods:
1. Add red wine to white- How DIY! Who knew?
2. Champagnes are made by mixing two-thirds black grape with one third white grape. After the grapes have been pressed, the skins of the black grapes can be left in with the white wine in the wine vat. This dyes the wine red and produces pink champagne.

Oh, and did you know there also exists something called the PINK CHAMPAGNE CAKE! Google image it, I do not lie. I know what I'm baking next weekend!

My current favorite pink champagne that I discovered at BIN38 is Gruet Brut Rose Methode Champenoise , from a New Mexico Winery. Under $15 a bottle! Hmm, mamma needs and end of the year present... I think there may be a few bottles headed in my direction!
