Cat’s Peeves Series: #1 Girls who try too hard to get viewers

It’s really hard to believe that these girls would call themselves “hardcore” gamers or .. “here’s a video to help your boyfriend that you exist”. I think it’s kinda silly. I think their bfs would pay more attention if they just played with him and you do your own thing.

Good job trying to get more hits because Call of Duty came out.

What will you pick up? :)


UPDATE ON THIS SALE: It was super disappointing. You did not receive a tote that was on the actual invite. Sephora gave out a plain black tote with a usual sephora logo on it. Your friend could not get a tote, but only 20% off coupon. Everything was practically not ready for customers and everything was in chaos inside the store. I didn’t really buy anything except to replenish my boyfriend’s cologne.

Felt like it was a total bait and switch. You are much better off just ordering stuff online and have it delivered to you.

Halloween 2011

HARROWEEN!

You came and past, sorry I didn’t do a makeup roundup like I did last year. This year, I just didn’t feel like there were that many good ideas on youtube that I should post. This was also the year that I felt like I was really busy and couldn’t really put a lot of time into it as I’d like….

What did you guys do this halloween? What did you dress up as?

For me this year I had a Halloween movie party at my apt..so I made a couple of halloween cake pop treats. They’re red velvet center with candy coating! I made these cakepops before previous years, and they were a hit back then..so I thought I’d just step it up a notch by decorating them.

For the witches cake pops, I used orange Tic-Tacs for the nose, Reeses Pieces for eyes, oreo + purple dark chocolate hats. :) For the rest, I painted them with black food coloring.

For the food items, I got Little Smokies that I thought were very tasty. I never made them before, but it’s super good! Basically I purchased Aidells Chicken & Smoked Turkey Sausage+Chicken Sausage Andouilles and wrapped them around Apple wood smoked bacon, with some Brown sugar. Marinated that, and with Broiler on high, crisped them. It gives you a nice smokey crunch! Very easy to make, and enjoyable!

I also made my usual 4cheeze mac and cheese, and my spinach artichoke dips.

For the “spookier items” for halloween (requested by my over-ly excited boyfriend)

“Brain” Jello. It’s pretty much strawberry jello with gummy worms on top/inside. HAHA. T_T

“Witch’s Eyeball Brew”. It’s basically Pineapple Juice + Orange Juice + Ginger ale for the fizz..and Cherry Jello Mix. The Little “Eyeballs” are pretty much lychees with blueberrys in the middle to look like “an eyeball”. A very fun and tasty drink!

This is one of the movies we watched. Pretty hilarious. You die if you don’t pass out candy for halloween. So much cheese.

Then we watched REC-  which is the original version of Quarantine (I’ve already seen it).. and The Orphanage kinda sucked. Wasn’t that scary! :P .. I ended up watching Paranormal Activity3 – which is pretty creepy in the last few minutes.

Anyways, for halloween this year. For my halloween party – i dressed up like snow white.. then for monday’s office – i did the queen of hearts! I used my Chanel Lipstick that i posted previously and used it for both the looks.

Yes. Queen of hearts actually have to go to work. Wah. By the WAY HOW CUTE ARE THE NEW starbucks holiday cups :D & the new flavors?
