Happy Anniversary “Phabulously Sparkling @ 50”

OMG!!! One Year!!!

Listen, I have to admit, When I first decided to join the Blogging World, I had no idea where to start. I just posted one sentence about being over “Fifty and Feeling Fabulous” and this one picture  and hit the publish button.

 

Since I started blogging. I found out that It does take a lot of work, for instance, researching, organizing, and taking pictures (I love taking pics), which are just a few of the things, but that’s okay. I’m so excited to say, I do love the fun of it and, I find it to be very relaxing.

While blogging, I’ve met some amazing friends along the way and reading their blog posts whether it’s about traveling, which took me on adventures to different countries and different states that I’d never would’ve dreamed of, or sharing food recipes, learning new beauty tips or finding shopping sales, etc. I’m definitely excited to see what 2016 will bring ….  😉

So here’s to my One Year Blogging Anniversary… Kudos “Phabulously Sparkling @ 50”, It’s like the old saying goes,

 

                                                        “Like Fine Wine – It Only Gets Better”.

 

Thank you all for continuing to be with me on my Blogging Journey and remember to always

 Sparkle Sparkle Bling Bling!!!

All the Leaves Are Brown And The Sky is Gray

 

Hey  Everyone Heyyyyy,

Come on in and enjoy the music singing all the “Leaves are Brown, (chorus) all the leaves are brown and the Sky is Gray, (chorus)  and the sky is gray”….California… Dreamin’, shout out to “The Mamas and The Papas” for a great song.

I know some of you are saying “The Mamas and The Papas”, Wait, What? Who?, I know you’re probably thinking, WOW! she is definitely telling her age, AHHH NOT!!!!, this singing Group was well before my time, Thank you very much!!!! hahaha,  and I’m just a person who loves all genre of music from all eras and this great song is perfect for the Fall season which is, upon us.  😉

So I’m singing this tune today because I’m feeling very nostalgic, just looking at the sky which is gray and also noticing all the leaves have fallen from the trees. Yes, people…. It’s officially Fall…. and no more warm weather.

 

The leaves may be brown…. but  in my mind I’m clinging onto the warm weather, and wearing this Dress (see below) keeps me thinking of summer with this beautiful white Hibiscus floral print all over it, and if, you can remember this dress is similar to one of the dresses on my wish list back in June, Pink & Multi Coloured Floral Cold Shoulder Swing Dress    (Wishlist Here)

Yes, I held out and was able to buy this dress about 3-4 weeks ago and at the cha ching!  price of $18.00 from Yours Clothing, you guys know I love the cha ching sound…. Yes 30-50% off  –  great buy, I know right!

 

So let’s FALL into my FASHION…..

 

Looking Down At The Leaves…..

 

Jeez!!!! Leaves In Every Direction!

 

Okay Forget The Leaves…Gorgeous Purse Though!!!

   

 

And of course, my favorite Moto  Jacket… yes I do repeat my clothing, I have no choice – I have Twin Teenage Daughters who ALWAYS, ALWAYS  I repeat need my coins…LOL!!!!

 

Wearing Shades….Praying  For The Sun To Shine Through The Gray Clouds

Yeah, so I know, I’m NOT looking forward to the next four months of  cold weather, so I’ll continue playing music or being a disc jockey, dreaming of nothing but a Blue Sky, Seventy Degree Weather and Palm Trees to keep me going until Spring has sprung again.  Next song selection – Summertime by: DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (aka – Will Smith).

Lights, Camera, Action – When you Feel Like A Star

Can I have your Autograph?

That’s what the people were asking me about a week ago, Yes….you see I was invited to do a collaboration YouTube video with the Beautiful Makeup Artist Mrs. Nicole McDade.

Guys, I swear I felt like a Celebrity she was applying the paint like an artist, or has the terms are stated these day ” Beat My Face” LOL!!

I had so much fun doing this video and getting all Dolled up….. I was like a cake waiting for the icing.  SWEET!!!

  The McDade’s and I in the Studio

So the studio we filmed in was in a “State of the Art” Library located in one of the beautiful suburbs of Illinois, talk about extravagant….I mean, cafes, lounge rooms, elevators, escalators, about six – eight studios with equipment included.  Something for everyone, and all for free.

In one of the studios there were guys recording a rap song/video,  and In another studio there was a group doing radio broadcasting, etc …..Listen, let me tell you, while I was getting my face beat, I happened to look up and noticed in the studio across from us, a  Male/Model was getting his pictures taken by a photographer, next thing you know – shirt comes off, I’m like WHOA!!!,  I tapped my assistant/cousin (shout out to you Meechi) on  her shoulder and  I ask did anyone order a Caramel Sundae or a Six Pack,  she said What? I said look, her mouth flew wide open, then she said “Lawd have Mercy”, LOL….I tell you at that moment Heaven Gates opened and the Angels \O/ \O/  \O/ starting singing Halle-lujah….Halle-lu-jah…I mean Yeah!!!! and one thing for sure peeps, yeah, ” Stella or shall I say Sparkling Char still got her groove”…..LMBO, talking about some eye candy…..aah Yummy, WHEW!!!

Okay, stay focus Girls…back to the CELEBRITY in this post… ME!!!!!! remember…

You talking about Fun!!!! I truly enjoyed making this video…and OMG! Let me not forget to mention Mr. Cornelius McDade the man of production, the man that knows his stuff, the man that was directing and giving pointer….saying “QUIET ON THE SET” ”  RETAKE on SCENE TWO, and he also did the the number thing in “FIVE, FOUR, THREE ,TWO, ONE”…..I’m getting tickled thinking about it.

So after the video was done, we had a little time left in the Studio to take Pics, so I did a Mini Model Shoot, Say What!!!!, all I’m saying is Y’all (“not” You All),  but Y’all….can’t tell me nothing, I’m still on ….☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ Yes, Cloud Nine, and Oh! I did keep my Blouse on… LOL!!!!!

Multiple PURSE-SONALITIES

Hey Sparklers,

 

What I’m saying is “I GOT TOO MUCH PURSE-SONALITY”

This morning I woke to my regular routine of getting ready to adventure my way to “Corporate America”, yes another work day.

So I’m  grabbing everything I need to get my day going, including the Twins, yes as usual, they’re dragging and getting on my last nerve, two teenagers and girls at that, yes pray for me, that’s a whole other story….LOL!!!!

Yeah, so back to the task at hand……I’m already exhausted,  because I’m mentally drained and then to have my Main Purse on my shoulder, my Tote bag in my right hand which is, filled to capacity and in my left hand another small cute Mini-Tote to add more stuff  and…. then it hit me!!! This is too much, no wonder my arms and back are always aching. So three things came to mind:

ONE

Why do I need to carry these totes plus my purse?…Not to mention stopping for coffee for my co-workers and I, yep another item I’m carrying Monday thru Friday and then parking the car only to have to walk to the office trying to handle all the bags and carry the coffee tray. Really!!!!….(giving myself the side eye glance and shaking my head).

TWO

What about when you’re carrying so many purses/totes that you’re constantly bumping into or hitting people and you have to have your repetitive statement voice ready, constantly saying, Oh! I’m so sorry, please forgive me, excuse me, or (thinking to myself) Girl, you damn near knock that person down with all these bags, Jeez!!!

THREE

Oh, and let’s not forget stopping at the Grocery store after work to pick up a few items, yep…. some more bags…

 

          So After All That Thinking – Here’s What My Purse-sonality Is All About:

 

Purse contents:         Wallet, Sunglasses, Coin purse, Lip Gloss, Mascara, Receipts/papers, etc.

Tote contents:            iPad, Sunglasses, Aleve for pain, Cosmetic Bag, Jewelry, Perfume, etc.

Mini Tote contents:  Notebook Journal, Business cards, another Cosmetic Bag, Mini Journal Notebook, more Receipts/Papers, etc.

Shhhh…don’t tell nobody but I got approximately Five Lipsticks  in each Cosmetic Bag, that’s a shame, isn’t it? I swear you guys, I could go on and on, but I’m sure you get the picture.

 

So I decided to leave one Tote on the table and was walking out the door and thought, what if the one I’m leaving has  something I may need, so I reverse my steps and went back to get my Tote…Crazy right?, all smiles walking out the house (In my “Eryka Badu” voice) singing – (“BAG LADY YOU GONE HURT YOUR BACK…CARRYING ALL THOSE BAGS LIKE THAT”). LOL!!!!!..

********************************************************************************************************************************

Moral of this post

Don’t get me wrong, I love all style of Purses and Totes, whether expensive or bargain price, leather or cloth, two things for sure I need to decide are:

 

(A). I need to cut down carrying three bags to just carrying  my purse, I know my arms and back will feel better.

OR

(B). Coordinate, (I mean, if I’m carrying all these bags I can at least  look good and have a little style).

 

Decisions…….Decisions…….I pick  (B) To coordinate, Look what I found, Gorg! right?

These sets are cute from AliExpress

European Style Set

2015 New Arrival Handbag Set

Forget carrying one purse. In my (Wizard of Oz/Wicked Witch) voice “I will buy  you my little Pretties”  and the price is great to!!!

 

So moving forward, I will try to work on re-evaluating my Multiple Purse-sonality….and continue singing “Bag Lady” until then…smile

 

How many Purse-sonalities do you carry?

 

 

Let your Lips Speak!!!

UnBoxing Of My DIA&CO. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

                            👗          👗          👗          👗          👗

Well Hello Everyone

Talking…Chewing…..Smacking……Chewing

One second, let me put these Potatoe Chips down, my Mom always told me don’t talk with your mouth full, sorry guys, I love Chips, any way let’s get to the goodies.

So I know you’ve been hearing the Buzz about the new clothing Co.   sizes 10-30.

Yes Darlings, I’m so excited I just received my first clothing box, and let me tell you something I’m in AWE!!!!

Okay, I know you want to see the items and then I’ll tell you how it works…..

So yes… DIA&CO. I give you FIVE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For this concept.

 

Go to DIA&CO.com and read about how easy it is to sign up and become a member.

• Take the Style Survey
• Tell Them about Yourself
• State what type of Clothing you like
• Pick your Budget

 

What I loved about the process was that I was appointed a personal stylist and was setup with an appointment to receive a call from her to talk about my style preference, about what I like and don’t like, and from there I got the ball rolling. Another amazing thing was within the same week I spoke to my stylist, my Dia Box had arrived.

Now once your Dia Box ships you be charged a twenty-dollar styling fee. not to worry because that amount will be credited toward your final purchase and they only charge you for the garments you decide to keep. Once you receive your items you have 5 days to try on (comfort of your own home), during the try on period you are asked to sign into your account and  rate your items, which asks do you like the garment? are you keeping the garment  or sending it back? also, asks you to leave a small comment regarding the garment.

Again, keep in mind:

(1) If you decide to buy one garment from your items  received your twenty-dollar style

fee will be credited to that purchase

                                                                                                  or

(2) If you decide to buy all five items in the box, your twenty-dollar style fee will be credited

to your purchase as well as an additional 20 or 25% off….. Yes another “Cha Ching Moment”

 

Shipping is free both ways, (enclosed is a pre-paid return mailer for any garments you want to send back) Just drop it in the mailbox. How great is that!!!

Oh! another great thing, if you don’t want a Dia&Co. box for the next month just submit No. If your ready to receive the box for the following month submit Yes.

I know so many perks right!!!!!!

 

So Keep In Mind….      Your Curves. Your Style.

 

Let your Lips Speak!!!
