Hello My People,
Just wanted to let you in on one of the most horrific moments I have ever experienced as a bartender. This past weekend at work everything was going well until- da-da-da-dah, one of our regular clients requested their favorite glass of wine. After my boss gets me a new bottle of wine from his office, I'm doing my thing getting the corkscrew ready BUT my hands were slightly wet (I am a bit of a germaphobe hence I am constantly washing my hands). Anywho, I was going to grab the bottle to open it when to my astonishment I didn't have a good hold on the bottle. Yeeeaaah, you guessed it. The bottle goes tumbling down and everything went in uber slow motion. Crash- Bam- Boom- Splatter! The bottle makes the loudest sound of crushing glass I have ever heard!
If you are a bartender, server, hostess, etc. or have just eaten in a restaurant, you know what happens when you hear the loud sound of glass breaking. Everyone and their mother stops and looks your way. It got extremely quiet and still, and other customers were just walking in when it happened (out of all the days it should have been slow in that damn place). I don't get embarrassed easily but I must tell you, at that point in time I was MORTIFIED! Oh, it gets better. After the initial shock of the mini earthquake of glass, I have about five of my coworkers helping me clean up the damn wine spill. They were probably thinking to themselves, why do we have to help clean up after her mess (they were really nice about it though). Another coworker must have seen the look on my face, because she asked me if I was ok and then told me to breath. However, my boss couldn't help but make me feel worse, he says, "How did you drop this, pray tell?". Pray tell? Who uses that kind of English in day to day conversations. But a moment later, I guess he felt bad for making me feel bad, that he mentions a time when he had made the same mistake. On top of all that, my boss didn't have another bottle of the wine to give to the customer, I could not have felt more like an ass than I did at that moment.
So the moral of the story being, never attempt to open a bottle of wine with wet hands! However, I could not leave you with a sad ending. Nothing could make a person feel better than a good, tasty drink. I have to tell you, I am not much of a drinker, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to have just one. Therefore, I have a recipe for one of my favorite drinks:
Kamikaze (This means "Divine Wind" in Japanese)
1 1/2 Oz. Vodka (Any choice is fine Smirnoff, Belvedere, Grey Goose...)
1/2 Oz. Triple Sec
1/2 Oz. Lime Juice
You can also decrease the amount of Vodka to 1 Oz. and increase Triple Sec and Lime Juice to 1 Oz. each. Shake all ingredients in shaker with ice, strain into a shot glass or coctail glass, or build in a rocks glass with ice; garnish with a lime and serve. Now that's gooood! : d Doesn't that put a smile on your face. Enjoy! Muah!

A little history on Kamikaze: It is believed to have been created in Yokosuka, Japan and was named after the pilots in WWII, where the airplanes were used as explosives by aiming it at specific targets to cause a huge explosion, with the pilot having little regard for his own life. Put that in your back pocket!
7. SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN: Whether you’re a beach bum or the indoor or outdoorsy type, this product must be worn daily- I can’t stress this enough. Unless you’re aching to look like weathered leather, don’t skimp on this summer must have. Year after year, it is uttered wherever you go, the sun’s rays can cause serious damage, so protect your skin. I don’t know about you but I want to keep my youthful appearance, even if that means being a little pasty.
Back to the Maybelline Great Lash mascara- they recently came out with a Great Lash Big, which has a BIG brush like Lash Blast. I was sooo happy when I saw this in the store that I immediately bought it. Mind you, I did not stop wearing this mascara because it didn't do the job, I stopped using it because of the size of the brush, but now the size of the brush is not an issue. First of all, the formula to this mascara is phenomenal, it conditions the lashes and doesn't leave them brittle or dry. No Clumping is a plus. And the price is excellent, $5.00 to $6.00.

Oh my gosh, you guys! I am soooo sorry for disappearing for awhile, I have been a little busy with things but I'm back. Alright, let's get down to the nitty gritty, I have missed some important issues I have wanted to talk about. As you know (or maybe you don't), September 30th was Woman's Health and Fitness Day (told you I was behind), this day is the nation's largest yearly health campaign event for women or sexy kittens like yourselves, of all ages. This event will be held yearly on the last Wednesday in September. Why Wednesday? I don't know but it is what it is. This day should not be confused with National Women's Health Week which is observed in May. The reason I mention this, regardless of how late I am posting this, is because women are usually the caregivers of everyone else (spouses, boyfriends, children, parents), and they tend to forget to focus on themselves and their own health, also this is something that should be focused on daily not just once a year.

This season there are a number of different trends that can be mixed and matched. The first being punk rock biker jackets; I LOVES IT! Gone are the days of regular Harley biker chick jackets. These coverings are trendy and chic for those of us who like to live on the edge. Show off your fashion acumen and pair this piece with leggings or a skirt.
The next style would be leopard print. Yowza! Leopard is pretty versatile, it can be worn as a main piece or just to accentuate an outfit. For instance a leopard belt, ring, or shoes can compliment certain pieces in your wardrobe.
If you're not into gentlemen's fashion; ruffles and furbelow's might be for you. This look plays up a woman's femininity (say that three times). And if you really want to go all out, ruffled underwear might do the trick. Just kidding! Unless you're into the Southern Belle look, I would not wear head to toe ruffles.
All of these articles of clothing can be worn interchangeably. Ladies, do not over do it on just one trend, I cannot stress this enough. It's like wearing every piece of jewelry in your jewelry box. Major faux pas!

The reason for this horrible dissolution was due in part of the under-performance of the brand. Prescriptives was pretty much hanging by its fingernails and not meeting the companies organizational goals. So long to its custom made blend of make-up; the Beauty and Makeup Gods must be looking down at us with disbelief. Tsk! Tsk!
