Facebook! The Addiction!

Go Like These Pages!!!!

Recently I made the decision to get rid of my personal Facebook profile. Why? Because, I just couldn't handle all the mentally crazed, immature, ungrateful, shouldn't be a parent, trashy TMI'ers!








 I know, I know, you are going to or already are, saying..."Why don't you just delete them or hide them"? Been there, done that! When you hide people and you have a smart phone, the smart phone isn't so brilliant. It hides them on the PC version but not on your phone. Well, you can't see their banter when you click on the app, but your phone still blows up with their notifications. I have tried turning notifications off on my phone but to no avail have I been successful. So with that said, I decided to just convert my personal profile to my page. 










Now, in doing so, I have the luxury of not having to read any one's nonsense! In order for me to see it I have to click on the person's name that I care enough to find out what's new with them. I no longer have an annoying and aggravated feeling. I found myself day to day becoming very irritated after reading my news feed. Let's be real folks...The news feed is like a train wreck, you know you should look away but just can't! I tried so many times to convince myself that what I was reading should allow me to pat myself on the back. Ha! Not even! It just pissed me off even more because I was unable to "comment" what I really thought! I mean, it's completely inappropriate to start a confrontation on a social network right? That only makes me look as if I am stooping to their level, correct? It is just beyond me how people think it's even remotely OK to post the things they do. That's who they are I suppose and who I am doesn't really fit into that part of the social network world. So, bottom line.....Facebook is no longer my addiction.










A note to everyone who were a part of my personal profile.....


Dear Ex and current Facebook pals,


To my dear friends and family,
 I hope you all would know me well enough to know, that, my leaving the personal profile world had nothing to do with you. I enjoyed reading your posts and interacting with you all. I am very sorry if any of you were made to feel like you had done something to push me to making this choice. Please know, it was not you. I love you all and hope that you will stop by my page from time to time to say hello and maybe let me know about any big announcements in your life. I am unable to comment on your personal pages because having just a "Like" page has very limited settings, but, please know, I am always checking on you guys and will miss the regular coffee and catching up<3






To the idiots that make Facebook unbearable,


I just want  to thank you for making the rest of us feel sane and well rounded even when we are down on ourselves. I will enjoy the piece of mind I will bask in knowing I never have to read your silliness again! I can only hope that one day you will come to your senses and realize how ridiculous and insane you portray yourselves to be to the public! The only advice I have to give you is to possibly look into a shrink. One more thing.....If you don't want people telling you how it is then don't post it. You guys really look especially stupid when you post your business and then tell people it's none of their business...FYI morons...You just made it millions business!
Dani


As always...Sending sanity and freedom from the morons in your day..from my clean space in the cyber world to yours...Much Love,Dani

Making Your Fashion Your Own! Cheap!




So we all like to keep up with the latest and greatest fashion trends. Now I am one of those people, however, I like to put my own twist on things to make them my own. I have and always will be that "Molly Ringwald" type from the move "Pretty In Pink". Since I can remember, I have always been a thrift shopper. Sure I own some high ticket items but I find I love thrift store shopping the best. There are so many wonderful creative ways you can throw together a fantastic outfit on the cheap. In fact I have found some high end designer items at thrift stores. Anything from Yves Saint Laurent to Versace to True Religion! In fact not too long ago I found this fantastic Nanette Lepore   blazer brand new for $4. The jackets original price? almost $400!  Crazy huh? I love calling this "sort" of shopping... Vintage. They call it that in L.A and NYC so why not everywhere else too? 



Jeans:

If you look in my closet you will find a ton of jeans!! Some think I am completely crazy when they walk into my closet. But, my thoughts are, in a great pair a jeans a girl can conquer and command attention! Besides, really? What doesn't go great with jeans? I love to wear off the shoulder shirts and fab tank tops with a great blazer, some slamming heels and some great earrings and bracelets.... Do your hair with some great makeup and BAM! POW! You look like a million bucks!



Tops:

As mentioned above, I love off the shoulder tops. You know like in the 80's? I'm an 80's child so this style never really left the closet! What most people do not realize is that you can make these tops yourself really cheap! So many times I have walked into stores and seen these tops at a extremely silly price. You could have 8 of those tops for the price of 1 if you go do a little vintage shopping and get yourself a great pair of scissors! Go into your local "Vintage Shop" and look through their t-shirts and sweatshirts. Pick out the ones that you seem to connect with. May it be plain or fun graphics. Then bring them home lay them flat and start to cut a few inches below the original collar line from shoulder to shoulder. Presto! Off the shoulder it goes! Super cute and super cheap and you made it your own! Bonus.. The more you wash them the more character they take on. These types of tops look fantastic with a long necklace and hoop earrings. They even dress up sweatpants.



50's Pin Up

This is probably the most timeless, inexpensive easy sexy, sassy look a girl can have in her closet! Everyone knows thrift stores always have a plethora of fun "vintage" clothing dated way beck to the 50's. What you do is grab yourself a cute form fitting button down short sleeve top. Something solid or with fun polka dots. Or, find a pencil skirt or a dress looking very 50's. For hair? Super simple! Most gals think 50's hair is complicated! Nope! Not at all! For long hair leave some bang out and swoop the rest into a ponytail. Now add some soft curls to the ponytail. Now either swoop your bangs to one side or get a 1/2 inch barrel curling iron and curl them under. Add a cute bow or flower to the side and BAM! 50's hair! Now for short hair. Wear it on the flat side or a bump at the crown. Add a headband or flower or bow! There you are! Instant vintage. Makeup. Super simple. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED! All you need is a matte finish foundation, Matte Finishing Powder, a good red lipstick (Can use a fun hot pink too) an excellent rich black liner, nude eyeshadow and a med matte brown eyeshadow and some great fake lashes! The key to great pin up makeup is all in the lip and winged eyeliner. There are lots of videos on Youtube giving you the skinny on how to.You can never go wrong with pin up in my opinion. It's fast easy makeup and you look stellar. Not to mention, that red lip makes you feel very sexy and all vixen like.

I hope these few quick tips encourage you to save a dollar or 50 and you head out to your local "Vintage Shop" and set out on a fashion adventure. You really can change up your wardrobe considerably if you just give a few different looks a try!
