On My Mind: May 2012

This month's On My Mind post is actually based on the questions from the January 2012 issue of InStyle Magazine.

♥What's your beauty pet peeve?

♥What do you always travel with?
♥What do you do when you want to unwind?
♥What are you counting down the days until?

What's on your mind this month?

The Dainty Dolls House May 7, 2012 at 7:52 AM: Hmmm...beauty pet peeve...too much fake tan, an orange streaky glow is not the best for anyone or their clothes, I travel with too much stuff, I always find I didn't wear much of what I packed because I may have shopped a bit while at my destination - so it takes longer to pack to go home. I listen to soft music to unwind or take a warm bath :) Not really counting down the days to anything at the moment - well maybe a bit for moving house! But, it's not an every day count down!! These were fab!! Have a super day :) x
Tanvi May 7, 2012 at 7:54 AM: A wrong shade of foundation is major pet peeve too. But then I have too many pet peeve to list :P

Wil Harris May 7, 2012 at 8:00 AM: Hi Muse, great post!
*What's your beauty pet peeve? wearing really bad chip nail polish.
*What do you always travel with? More than enough, you're never too sure.
*What do you do when you want to unwind? Read a good book.
*What are you counting down the days until? Summer!
Sam May 7, 2012 at 8:02 AM: Hi dear, these are always fun and I look forward to them. I have the same pet peeve about eyeliner, especially when it smudges. I unwind with good coffee and good ambient music. I am the opposite - I actually travel with the minimum of everything, lol.
Kashaya May 7, 2012 at 8:04 AM: Oh I love Instyle Magazine.=)

As a respons to your question: The Luminess Tan system cost $159.00 at https://www.luminessair.com/

Jennifer Fabulous May 7, 2012 at 9:12 AM: Mmmm sounds like you know how to unwind. I could go for some white wine and 90s music right now lol. ;)

My beauty pet peeve is nude lipstick (on myself). I look like a giant blob with no lips and it's disgusting.

I always travel with my electric tootbrush and Hana hair dryer.

When I want to unwind, I usually have a glass of red wine and watch one of my favorite tv shows (Three's Company, Arrested Development, Golden Girls, etc).

And finally, I've been counting down the days until I hear back from grad schools so I know what my future has in store for me lol.

I hope you have an awesome week! xoxox
Bonnie May 7, 2012 at 10:37 AM: Rocking out to 90s music sounds a lot like my life. I'm not sorry.

Diana May 7, 2012 at 10:40 AM: I loved 3EB, reminds me of all those 90s movies with Jennifer Love Hewitt in them!

Sounds like you have a fun vacation coming up...enjoy!

YAY I won, Im so excited!! Thank you so much! I hope you had a lovely weekend! xoxo
Emmy May 7, 2012 at 11:05 AM: LOL on the too many stuff when you travel:) And yes, I hate foundations that don't match too!
Tara May 7, 2012 at 12:19 PM: My beauty pet peeve is undoubtedly my oily skin that I can never keep under control. I feel like it just ruins my whole look when I put makeup on!
Fashion Tales.... May 7, 2012 at 12:31 PM: Yeah, it's used to be totally difficult to match my shade, but I found a great brand now. Uggh, I LOVE boats, and want to be on one NOW!! haha. Happy Monday! -xo
lisacng May 7, 2012 at 1:10 PM: I hate eyeshadow creases! I use primer and it doesn't help by the end of the day, I'm too lazy to reapply!
Elle Sees May 7, 2012 at 1:16 PM: Bad eyeliner or when ppl bronze their whole face with glittery bronzer
LV May 7, 2012 at 1:16 PM: I love this post! I can relate to the foundation pet peeve, for years I was never able to find one that didn't make me look orange, which is probably why I don't wear it. I love 70's music:-) It is great for unwinding, or I order my favorite takeout and watch all of those old shows from a simpler time...LOL (Golden Girls, Cosby Show, Threes Company, Brady Bunch...)
Ria May 7, 2012 at 2:25 PM: I definitely want to be on a boat somewhere. I wonder why I'm not on a boat more often haha. Incorrect foundation is AWFUL.
THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE May 7, 2012 at 3:53 PM: I'm with you on traveling with WAY too many accessories :) xoxo
JustPatience May 7, 2012 at 7:09 PM: Great article. I tend to travel with so many shoes too :)
Couture Carrie May 7, 2012 at 10:36 PM: Fun post, darling!
Love how you unwind!

Francesca Romana Capizzi May 7, 2012 at 10:52 PM: I travel with too many shoes too, nice post cheryl!
Cafe Fashionista May 8, 2012 at 5:30 AM: Shoes are my vice whenever I travel - I always pack far too many pairs! :P
Sara May 8, 2012 at 5:59 AM: This was a cute little scrapbook of your current life :) I love me some 90's music too!
