    Sentimental Sunday: Will You Google Him?

    Of course Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross) can’t be bothered to go on a date without knowing absolutely everything about this mystery man that randomly came into her life. Are you the same way?

    If you’re a curious cat like me, you’re going to want to know certain details. Like if he’s been married, if he’s still married. The best part is adding guys on Facebook and realizing he’s ‘in a relationship’ with someone else and has pictures of them together all over his profile. Real smooth. Saves me the time of figuring that out over dinner next week!

    I don’t know about you, but I feel like a simple Google check just solidifies a person. Makes him human in a way. If there was absolutely no information on ‘John Smith,’ you might not feel too safe going out with him. Just a thought.

    In Bree’s case, she just wanted to know some dirt. How far are you going to go in your background check? I still don’t know what I want to know yet. Sometimes I want to know everything so there are no surprises and I get exactly what I’m asking for. But other times I wish I didn’t know anything so I could find it out my own way.

    The only real problem I have with Googling a potential date is you’re taking away the job of the Wingman. What’s he supposed to do now if you’re just giving up everything for free on the world wide web? Of course you can’t find everything online, but you’ll get a good chunk. I think men are still just as secretive if not more than ever now and they don’t want to see their girls posting up every picture and checking in to every spot they visit. Is there really something wrong with that?

    No wonder I’m still single. So what about you — would you Google him?

    Last Minute for Dad

    From young hot dads at groceries stores to your old man who won’t stop pestering you. From the one who has been there to take your side when mom says no, to the one that lives overseas with birthday phone calls just once a year…. We celebrate our fathers this weekend.

    Here is my dad in LA
    My dad is a mystery and a character to me. I know only bits and pieces and our time spent together has been very limited.  Since I grew up in Toronto with my mom’s family, the time I have spent is really a summer in Shanghai, a few month in Hong Kong and a summer in LA in the past 27 yrs…

    Entrepreneurial, loves dogs, can make conversation with anyone, adores Napoleon cakes and coffee ice cream, a little bit silly – There is no doubt that I am my father’s daughter.

    Did you get your dad something yet?  Not to worry, you can find Local Deals from CentrSource.

    All your dad really wants is to know that you appreciate him.

    Happy Father’s Day!

    @LiseWatier Glitter Brush + Duo Shadow & Glitter

    I know its been a few weeks since my birthday but since my name is JUNE I don’t believe in celebrating my birthDAY… I believe in celebrating my birthMONTH. I mean I do have a month named after ;D So I’m posting about part of my what I did for my makeup on my birthday. I decided to do a little glitter glamour on my eyes using Lise Watier’s Duo Shadow and Glitter in Golden Taupe.

    I spread the creamy golden shadow all over my lids. The cream shadow was super smooth and created a great base without being sticky. Loved that no matter how much I put on, it never got cakey and it was very buildable.

    Using Lise Watier’s AMAZING Glitter Eyeshadow Brush, I gently patted the glitter over the cream shadow applying more to the middle and outer corners. The glitter was very fine and gave a pretty shine to my lids without being overdone (since I was just going to dinner). This is one of my FAVORITE brushes ever! It makes applying glitter so much easier. The rubbery texture allows for wet or dry application and best of all EASY CLEAN UP! No more fussing around with glitter stuck in your brushes, on your fingers, or the worst… UNDER your nails. The pointed tip of the brush lets you get into small areas like the inner corners of your eyes. LOVE it!

    Make sure you their newest Duo colors in Wild Orchid, Blue Ray, and Golden Wasabi! Perfect for your bright summer eyes and if you’re a glitter fan make sure you try Lise Watier’s Glitter Eyeshadow Brush! Even if you’re not a glitter fan because of the messiness, try it out. It makes glitter/shimmer application way easier and tidier!

    xo, June 🙂
