NEW YEARS SWAAG !! - Last post of 2011

Beautiful Readers : ) ,

It's crazy to say this will be my last post of 2011. This year went by so fast. Ups and downs, good & bad, starting this blog, learning of wonderful other blogs everyday, great memories, lessons learned.

It's just soo wild that it's really about to be 2012 in TWO days.

I don't realy have any New Years Resolutions except to stick to my diet and excercise plan and stop going back and forth and back and forth ; that's not good. I really don't make resolutions because I feel if there's something I need to change or want to work on, I try to work on it right away, not waiting to a new year. Not to point out anything or anyone, but I really hate when everyone is like , "new year, new me" , and 99% of the time that's bullshit (excuse my language) and they haven't changed since three years ago when they said the same thing. I just want to go into 2012 continuing to make improvements on myself and in my life, try to build my blog up more, continue loving and appreciating all the great people I have in my life.

We can all agree that designer and brand Lanvin has been taking the world by storm right now.

Plus Size DRAMA Swaag

Hey beautiful people,

I hope every one's day is going well and that everyone is enjoying the last few days of 2011! This year flew by so fast. It's crazy. It seems like we were just in the year 2010.

So onto the topic of today. Lets talk about the drama with the plus size community. As we all  know, a size 13 is considered the average size for a woman. A size 13 is also in the plus size category. Plus sizes usually start at a size 12. When you see the words PLUS SIZE, it doesn't automatically mean big, huge, fat, etc. If you're not some how in the plus size category, you wouldn't know that. Many people who are maybe a size 6 & smaller will see a size 13 and be like damn, that's big or that's a fat persons size. The plus size community gets enough criticism from smaller people, you would think they wouldn't  be getting it from each other, right?

Contest Reminder Swaag !

Holiday SOTD

Hey gorgeous readers,

You'll be proud that today I actually have a real post for you.

I know I haven't posted much in the past like 4 or so days, hopefully that won't be happening again.

I need to catch up on my reading and commenting also.

I have about 135+ posts I haven't looked through yet. :/

No work tomorrow though, so I'm going to try and get through that tonight!

Anyways, I hope everyone had a great day yesterday! If you celebrate Christmas, I hope Santa was good to you. If not, I hope you just had a great day. I'm not big into celebrating Christmas, but I do still buy gifts for my family and enjoy the time I spend with family and friends.

Happy Holidays !

New find !

Hey beautiful people.

Today I went shopping. Yes, againnn. I know it's bad. Anyways though, I went to Fredericksburg which is about 30 minutes from where I am and I went to this little town center that had cute little shops and great places to eat. There's this accessory shop that was in there called Charming Charlie .

From the looks of it, I thought I'd walk in there and look at a few prices and be like no, not worth it.

Guess what? That didn't happen. It was so much though, you kind of have to take off your coat and take your time looking around or you might get overwhelmed.

Everything is sorted by colors. Every style you can imagine is there. The prices were so reasonable. I couldn't walk out of there without getting something. They even have a little section for young girls. So cute. I left with a cute necklace for myself, feather earrings for my mom, and a fashion sketch book for my sister. See, I wasn't selfish ! : )

They have a website and you should just click HERE and check it out !

Hope you all like it !

Budget Swaag

Hey gorgeous readers & followers,

Today was one of those days that I woke up in a bad mood, realizing how much I hate my job, and topping it by sitting in the front seat in which my dad had wasted coffee on the side of, which of course I didn't realize until the bad of my leg felt the wetness! My work pants would have to be tan too! Tan as in almost white, every one's going to see my coffee stain tan!

Ehh, it happens right? A typical day, no ? Maybe not, but whatever.

I'm pass that stage and here to share a new post with you that I meant to write up a few days ago.

The cheaper alternative to the items I put together in Holiday Polyvore Swaag .

It's the season of money spending, it wouldn't hurt to save a little too right?

Review Swaag - Ruched Boutique

Hey Lovely readers.

I have a review for you all!

I ordered two items from the lovely Ruched Boutique.

A scarf and a shirt.

I wore the scarf over the weekend , on Saturday.

I must say I love it.

It's a Wool Ring Scarf (in CoCo.)

The scarf is big, which lets you wrap it around twice.

It keeps your neck so warm and it just looks great.

I really do recommend this scarf.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Last night, I made Pumpkin Spice Cookies out of cake mix!

This recipe makes your cookies more soft and cake like unlike other cookie recipes from cake mix.

That is because, it's the same recipe to make a cake using these two same ingredients:

Cake mix & Pumpkin!

No need for eggs, water, and oil.

It's healthier & they're delicious.
And they make about 3 dozen !

Now onto the recipe.

JC[Jeffrey Campbell] VS. JC Inspired.

There's no secret that everyone wants a pair of the Jeffrey Campbell Lita Boots. Right or wrong?

I'm still waiting for the moment when I'm going to break down and buy mine.

So here's a question:

Is it worth buying a pair of Jeffrey Campbell inspired shoes

or should you just that money towards the real thing?

Gift Guide Swaag: Makeup Addict

I can say , I don't have friends who are addicted to makeup like I am, but I do have friends who like makeup. Which I still love because gifts involving makeup are always fun to put together and shop for. They're also easy for me to put together. So it's an A+ thing all the way around!

I put together a collage of six great makeup/makeup related products. I use them all , which is how I know they're great & affordable. Everything I listed is under .... $25.00. So you won't be breaking your pockets or the bank with any of these.

SOTD [Swaag of the Day]

Hello lovely readers & followers.

It felt good not to work this Sunday : ) , Finally. I didn't do too much today. Went to my brothers 'party' for his birthday , then went to my grandma's & now, I'm back home.

Hope everyone had a great day. I have work early in the morning :/

I'll leave you with some pictures.

Future Giveaway Swaag !

So it's the holidays and everyone is excited for all the giveaways and contests.
So I wanna join in the spirit.

I want to open a collaboration giveaway/contest with myself and at least 4 or 5 other bloggers.
Each of us would choose one product of our choice for the prize.

I'd like the winner to be announced on new years eve.

I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to do everything, but if you're interested in doing this with me, leave your name, blog link, and email.

or you can email me:

beautyorswaag@gmail.com

If I've already had some type of collab with you , that's even better !

I hope some of you will be as excited about this as I am : )

Injeanious

I am almost always in jeans. What can I say? They are comfortable, affordable, and easy to pair with anything. They can be dressed up or down. They are universal, and a symbol of equality. It’s no frills—perfect for an on-the-go college student like me. Lastly, it is easier to find bigger jean sizes than say, dresses or skirts.

Blog Collaboration!

I have news : )

I'm part of a blog collaboration w. a lot of other lovely bloggers.

The blog is sponsored by Ruched Boutique

The blog is called Chic Clique . You should definitely go check it out! If you're following me, follow this blog also. You'll love it.

Healthy Hair Swaag

This is a common tip that I'm going to share with everyone, but there are still people who don't know or don't think it pertains to them. This hair tip is for all hair types !

I know how good it feels to wash your hair. Especially depending on the environment you might be in from day to day. It tops off the feeling of being clean. It's a great feeling.
