I was reading a blog where this girl was referring to the scene when Mr. big left Carrie at the "altar" and she hoped her fiance wouldn't pull a Mr. Big.
When I saw that scene, especially the part where Carrie hit Mr. Big with the flowers, cringe big time. I didn't understand why she hit him and got so angry. My thought was he got delayed but he showed up, he wanted to get married (better late than never). I guess if they got married at that moment, there would be no movie. But still, girl you waited 10 years to get married, what was another hour.
Obviously I don't like confrontation, LOL.

Personal Microdermabrasion (PMD)
I have been searching high and low for reviews on the PMD and I have yet to find a review that the person reviewing wasn't sent one for free. I know I'm probably being silly but I want to read a review from someone who bought one themselves. I feel when I read these reviews, I can't completely "trust" their opinion. Does anyone else feel this way? Has anyone bought this and liked it, not liked it?
My reason for getting the PMD is for hyperpigmentation.
I have tried a couple of skin lightening products but none that have worked so far like Porcelana and Mederma. Please give me some suggestions, high and low end and your experiences as well.

Oh by the way, Hautelook is having a sale on NYX products, I think I would buy the Megashine lipglosses. You get Beige (a favorite of mine) and Natural (a color I've been meaning to try)

Possible beauty fails
I have tried to use these 2 items and have not succeeded.
1. Dermatouch Night cream- I am not sure if this is my container but if this goes anywhere near my eyes and I mean I make sure I don't put it near my eye vicinity, they burn really bad. I really like the texture (I love whipped texture products) but the burning eyes is the deal breaker.
2. Bed Head Mastermind- I think this got too old before I used it. It turns to crust in my hair. The smell is good but the crust is a no go.

Buried Treasure
I titled this post Buried Treasure because of two reasons.
One- I found this purse at a flea market in FL. It was a decent type flea market with things you would actually want to buy. I saw the purse by it's lonesome and loved it instantly. I did notice the straps were fairly worn (makes sense, it's a cute bag) and would need to be replaced. That's a pattern with me, I see something that I have a connection with and I have to have it. Anyway I asked the guy how much and he said $1.00. I didn't even blink a lash, I gave him a dollar and was off.
The inside tag: exlcusive for bueno, anyone ever heard of this brand?
As you can see the black was faded. I cut them off with scissors and replaced it with this cool chain I said that was on a shirt.
The results:
It fits over the shoulder or can be worn on the wrist.
On to the second reason this post is called Buried treasure. When I first bought this purse, I checked the main zipper, found nothing and put the purse away. I had been itching to fix the straps so I did and I opened the purse again and realized there was a smaller zipper. I could have sworned I check everything and even felt the bag but lo and behold what was inside the smaller zipper:
A ring, a beautiful emerald stone and gold band with an intricate design. I am not sure if it's real, my mom and grandma seem to think so but I don't really care if it is or not. The magical thing about this ring is that it actually fits, I'm wearing it as we speak.
I wonder who wore it and if they miss it because it seems special. And I guess that's a caution to you all, check your pockets and zippers before selling or donating your belongings. And if you have made flea market or thrift store purchases, check your pockets and zippers!!
