My 1st VIB Rouge Event at Sephora


VIB Rouge member here, and I've been long waiting(ok like 4 months) to get invited to a Rouge members only event.  I was starting to give up hope when a little invitation arrived in my mailbox.  Finally.  You'd think I'd gotten an invitation to join Soho House.  The first time is always special, isn't it? Fraught with what ifs, nervous energy, and high high hopes.  I expected champagne, macaroons, and unbelievable Rouge swag.

The Only Palette You Need...Stila Eyes Are The Window Mind Palette

If you've ever seen my makeup room, you know I'm obsessed with palettes.  Mostly eye shadow palettes, truthfully.  I feel like I'm constantly on a mission to find the PERFECT palette, though.  That palette with a million possibilities, day looks, night looks, "I woke up this way" looks.  I have to say that the Stila Eyes Are The Window Mind Palette may be it...

GlamGlow....Cleanser?!?

I've long loved GlamGlow.  Their products have gorgeous packaging, the kind you love to see when you open your medicine cabinet.  The products offer great results.  Just check out the reviews for a few of their products on Sephora.  They rock.

Product Obsession: ColourPop





Have you heard of ColourPop yet?  If you have, you can just skip to the swatches.  If not? Well you are in for a treat! I first heard about ColourPop on my favorite makeup chat group on Facebook.  The ladies were all a-buzz one morning about the color selection.  But that's just the beginning of things to  love about this brand!

One Small Step For Glamorous But Frazzled Mom's Everywhere

Hello all!  I know by all, I'm mostly just addressing my mom and my bff, but oh well.  Last night I was able to purchase my domain name and am currently working on developing my site and of course adding lots of posts full of sass, advice, and hopefully a laugh or two.  I'd like to thank my mom, who's always my biggest cheerleader and reads my blog posts religiously.  I'd also like to thank my bestie, Steph, who's not afraid to dish out the tough love when it's needed(as in YES I needed to get back to blogging).  And of course my readers, though few and far in-between, you all are so supportive and I appreciate the feedback and love.  I am so lucky to be surrounded by women who are more fabulous than frazzled who inspire me and so many of my blog posts.

The theme of That Glamorous But Frazzled Mom is basically about survival.  Us moms(and dads and caregivers) love our children more than life itself, but raising them is not an easy job.  It's fraught with twists and turns, tantrums and tears, and unfortunately you probably question yourself a lot and have guilt about what you should or shouldn't be doing.  Rest assured that you are not alone in this at all.  We are all in this together.  We all have good days, we all have bad days, and sometimes we all hide in the bathroom to eat a candy bar because we don't want to share.  I am more than happy to chronicle my parenting mishaps and misadventures if only to let all of you know that this too shall pass.  Eventually the kids will fall asleep or grow out of the phase they are in that's driving you nuts.  And as bad as things may seem at times, one day you'll probably be looking back and laughing.  I hope.  I haven't made it that far yet, but that's what I've heard.

The beauty side of That Glamorous But Frazzled Mom is about making beauty accessible to all us moms that don't have as much time as we used to have to beautify.  Beauty is of course from the inside.  But sometimes it feels so good to try a new look, find a new favorite, or just take a moment to yourself.  What's new in beauty shouldn't feel intimidating.  I am not a professional in the field, I just have a passion for beauty products and a little bit of know how that I'm happy to share my opinions and experiences.  I hope that I can embolden you to sample and swatch to your hearts content.  It's so fun to be a woman and a mom.  It's the most beautiful thing of all.
