"Blogbaying"

I have now termed selling things on my blog as "blogbaying" ... doesn't it make great sense? haha ...

I am going to try and sell a handbag on my blog ... so here goes!

Up for auction is a vintage Gucci Dr.'s bag, "boston satchel"
This is an authentic vintage Gucci doctor bag or Boston satchel. Done in their tougher canvas, it has navy blue interlocking GG signature monogram throughout. The leather trim and handles are navy blue as well. The classic red and blue racer stripe is present and there is a silver and gold GG medallion on the front of the bag. The original zipper pull is still present, is gold, and reads GG.
Overall, the bag is in good vintage condition. The canvas shows some fading and discoloration, as does the leather.

The interior is lined in blue and has some flaking and wear. This is to be expected with any vintage bag. There is a smaller interior zippered pocket. The Gucci Accessory Collection Made in Italy leather tab is present, although the original golden embossment has worn away. The controllato paper card is still attached and has the bag’s serial number.

Measurements are L 11” W 5” H 7”

THIS BAG SOLD!!! YAYAYA!

Product Reviews

Well, it's about time I did a couple of product reviews since I haven't done any in a while.

As you all know, I got latisse from my local medspa three weeks ago. Seriously, I can already tell that my lashes are thicker and darker. I haven't noticed a lot with the length yet, but I'm sure that will come with time. I believe Latisse is DEFINITELY worth the money ... and if you check around at your local medspas you're bound to find a deal ... I got mine for around 30% off.

Here are pictures that I took before I started latisse, one week after, and two weeks after ... you can definitely tell that it's starting to fill in the spaces that weren't very thick ... I bet y'all didn't know I was a freckle girl! Always been, always will be!:

I am sure you all have been wondering how I liked the Cle De Peu concealer that I purchased a few weeks ago. I really love this concealer, don't get me wrong, but I honestly don't see why it's 70 dollars. To me, it is very comparable to other concealers that I've used. I will say that the coverage is great. I do find that I have to add a little moisturizer to it to get it to spread evenly. PIPM concludes that you probably shouldn't waste your money on this one.

Trying Something New ...

Instead of listing things on Ebay today, I am going to try and sell them on my blog first to see if I can get any interest. Ebay has gotten to the point where they take such a large percentage of your total ... it's getting ridiculous!

Here are the rules:
If you see an item you'd like to bid on, please email me at PIPMblog@gmail.com your offer. Do not leave your offer in comment form. You can either take the item for the "buy it now" price or you can offer a lower amount and I will take the best offer. If you win, I will send you an invoice via paypal or google checkout.

Thinking About taking the Plunge

This is a pic of me taking my short layers forward to make it look like short hair ...

So, I've been wanting to cut my hair for, oh ... a year or so now?

I have no big events or anything in the next few months, so if it looks jackedup.com (grits' signature word) then I can always let it grow out, right?

Here is my beef with my hair, it's too long, takes way too long to dry, and has absolutely no body or volume. I feel like I would be able to do more with a shorter haircut. I'm not talking short short, just below the shoulders.

What do you all think?
