CONTEST!

Benefit Cosmetics

2009-01-20T00:52:00.005-10:00

Is it just me or does Benefit have some of the cutest blushes?

Here are my three favorite powder blushes from them!

Georgia

Dust this peaches and cream powder lightly all over your complexion then brush on the apples of your cheeks for a warm, happy glow. The sheer peach blush looks beautiful on all complexions, and the delicate peach scent will leave you radiating sunshine! The powder also looks great dusted on the eye lids.

Dandelion

Start your day the "perk-me-up" way, and keep them guessing how you look so pretty this early in the morning. Dust on our soft, pink, perk-me-up powder for instant radiance and a youthful appearance. It's the perfect shade of pink that brightens everyone's complexion without looking powdery or chalky.

Thrrrob

Turn on the flush, turn up the rush... with thrrrob, our new "turned on" face powder. This pulse-racing pink powder simulates the natural flush you get when your heart races. With accompanying brush, lay it on light across cheekbones, forehead and chin. Then sit back & let the excitement begin! It's a turn on!

You can buy each of these products for $28 at all Benefit counters as well as benefitcosmetics.com

New (but temporary) Layout!

2009-01-19T10:53:00.005-10:00

We have picked a lovely layout for the time being.
We will be using it until I can finally find a way to make my own layout exactly how i want it :) Enjoy this layout for now!

edit (january 19, 2009, 8:05pm): the new layout will take at least a week to put on the site. That is what I will be hard working on, so there will be no new pixel art until the new layout is done. Chelsie will be making new posts during the time I am working on the new layout. Thank you!

Leftover Lasagna

2009-01-17T22:38:00.007-10:00

I invented this one lasagna recipe with leftovers in my fridge!

Ingredients: cheese, bread, sauce, pasta, oil/fat

First line a baking pan with oil, butter, margarine, or any other type of oil/fat.

Use old bread even if it is different kinds (the end pieces, sweet bread, stale bread, bread that is too hard, anything unless it is moldy!) and lay it on the bottom of the baking pan.

If you wish you can then put over a layer of tomato sauce (cream, pesto, or other variation could work too and/or cheese.

Cover with any kind of pasta you have (different pastas all at once is fine too). I used spaghetti...

Next, cover in more cheese and/or sauce (keep layering these three if you wish) until you get to almost the top of the pan with the last pasta layer.

Put one more layer of sauce and cover with cheese and bake.

Because (in my variation) all ingredients are cooked, you only have to heat it up until the cheese turns golden but you can add other ingredients too and adjust the temperature and time.

I covered the pan in foil and put it on the lowest temperature setting and put it in the oven for 30 minutes.

Hope you find it as yummy as I did!

Golden Globes

2009-01-14T01:34:00.004-10:00

Two of the dresses I thought were just fabulous were worn by Anne Hathaway and Amy Adams.

I think the contrast of Anne's midnight blue Armani Privé dress with her pale skin was so pretty and made her glow without needing any self tanner...

All the amazing beading detail on the bodice required very little jewelry and I was glad she just chose simply, small (yet cute) earrings.

It was also a good call for her to wear bold yet muted makeup. Her black liner/lashes combo made her eyes pop yet because little eyeshadow appears to be used, this look is effortless understated. Also her red lips were smartly natural yet accentuated the fullness of her lovely pout.

(Although I thought she could have done a little more with her hair, why was she placed on the worst dressed list?!)

Amy brilliantly proves that the LBD (little black dress) does not always have to be little.

With the look of an old Hollywood movie star, she seemed so confident in her sequined Oscar de la Renta frock.

I though her emerald colored earrings and cocktail ring accentuated her glimmering eyes without the need for colorful eyeshadow. Also the green baubles made her hair radiate, but I thought the half-up hair made her look too casually Bohemian.

Her makeup looked almost like she wasn't wearing any at all which I loved except I wished her lashes were curled more to make her eyes glisten. I would have preferred touch more blush and lip color because the flashing paparazzi bulbs makes colors on the face from makeup look more washed out.

I am glad both starlets kept their jewels toned down to play up their glimmering gowns, but wish both could have perhaps made their hair a tad bit done up for the occasion.

What are your thoughts on other looks from this year? Any you loved or hated? Do you agree or disagree with me?
Please tell!

sweet whispers layout

2009-01-13T21:37:00.012-10:00

This is the first web layout made for theplushie! I made it some time ago, but now is the perfect time to share it with everyone! I think it's cute in a simple, but dark, way. Here's a print screen of the window that I made:

You can click the image and it will direct you to the layout! The download link directs you to a file sharing website called Media Fire, which will be hosting future downloads. Enjoy!

you do need to know HTML to use this layout, but very minimal amounts, like how to make your own links, how to make headers, and how to put images on. You can learn how to do that at Magitek Designs or Draac.com.

Chii's sweet home ♥

2009-01-11T22:03:00.005-10:00

I myself am a manga addict and couldn't resist putting a little manga link to the cutest known kitty alive: Chii!

Chii is an adorable kitty who wanders off and gets lost. He is found by a very nice family, and the story then follows his life in a new setting. Considering that every chapter is less than 10 pages, it's a must read! This manga is addicting!

To read the story, go to One Manga.com.

Le Papa Penguin

Watch this amazingly cute video from YouTube that my friend sent me! It's in french, but the message still gets to you!

It's about a father penguin who wants to move away from the arctic to a sunny, tropical island. His little penguin child convinces him to stay in the arctic!
