Top 5 Things I Need to Get Ready

We all have them...those few items we MUST have when getting ready - whether its a big night on the town, a lunch with the girls, a shopping excursion, or a nice dinner on the beach when on vacation.

Here are the top 5 things I can't live without and why:

5.  MUSIC!  From the days of getting ready to go to frat parties in college to trying to make myself look like a normal person for work, music blaring from our iPod speakers is a MUST!  From boy band pop, to the AWESOME britney spears, to hip hop - who cares, its F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S.  Holla Back.

4.  Black Eyeliner.  I feel like black eyeliner makes my eyes pop and look more awake. 

2.  Dior Foundation in 50.  This stuff is AWESOME.  Its not too thick, but too sheer where it shows the insecurities most of us have with our skin.  Its a lightweight foundation that I put on with a brush, and it stays ALL day. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

3.  Rusk Wired.  Whether I need my hair straight (for anytime I'm not on vacation), I put a small dime sized amount thru my hair and then blow dry / flat iron straight.  This product is AWESOME and does get your hair straight.  Now when I'm on vacation, I run this product thru my hair while its wet and spray a salt spray, and then my hair relaxes into its natural waves and has a great beach look one can only obtain while on vacation.

1.  Awesome smelling, moisturing lotion.  My top three are:  Nivea, J&J Baby Lotion (yes the one in the pink bottle), and Amazing Grace.  The scents are soft enough to wear and not seem like you're THAT person who overpowers the room with her scent.  They moisturize SO well, whether you're in a dry winter climate, or after a full day of ocean/pool.

Those are mine, post yours!
