Update and REVIEWS!

Hello Readers. Just thought i'd let you know that I am officially quitting the Photo Blog Challenge. I simply can't keep up with it and now that I am so behind...I feel it defeats the whole purpose of the Challenge.

A couple of quick reviews:

I purchased the LX5 a little less than a month ago and finally got the chance to test it out on Halloween night. If you don't know which camera I am speaking of please view the picture below.

I was so darn excited about this camera...but was soo defeated after using it. Let me list a couple of things that really drew me to this camera. First, I love the old school style of the camera. I was drawn to the fact that it was a metal casing as well as having an option for a hot shoe (an additional brighter flash that can be attached) Plus, all the great reviews about this camera online and in the forums stated that this was the BEST POINT AND SHOOT CAMERA OUT THERE! The final straw that really made me decide on the LX5 was the fact that Canon's customer service didn't really give a crap that my canon camera was smoking! >.<

The Review: (This review comes from a novice photographer) First impressions: the Camera looked great. Took a little getting used to because I was so comfortable with the canon toggles and menus. After using it: I noticed it was a pain in the ass to remove the lens cap. I didn't get a string that attached to the lens so I had to constantly search for a place to put the damn cap. This camera actually isn't very friendly to women with nails. the grip is just strange. Not to mention it is actually heavy and thought not large the way the lens jets out out the camera actually gets caught when you are trying to take it out of your jacket pocket. The picture quality wasn't superb, and the learning curve of this camera is actually kind of daunting. I hate to give such a bad review on this camera, however, it wasn't what I was looking for. All I wanted was a point and shoot that can take really quality pictures and despite all the great reviews, I have to say I am not a fan. :(

FYI: All my Halloween pictures were taken with the LX5. Nothing too spectacular. Some pictures were taken with my cellphone camera...can you tell which one is which!? LOL

I have traded this camera in for the Canon s95. 

Though this Camera isn't as badass looking as the LX5. Right off the bat I notice the difference in handling and faster response in taking pictures as well as not having to deal with a camera lens is so much more practical for a point and shoot. Will report back after my trip to NYC.

On another note: Remember how my hair was falling out last month? Well, I took a chance on the Nioxin Shampoo and I have to say I love it!! 

I can honestly tell you that this product works! I've had baby hair that refuse to grow for as long as I can remember...but with this hair product I can actually see that it is growing! I feel that my hair is a little bit fuller. My scalp doesn't burn any more THANK GOD! I will keep using this product and report back with pictures as soon as the 45 days have passed. The only Con about this product is the strong minty smell. It is really strong, and almost off putting at first. Don't worry, the smell doesn't actually stay in your hair all day. Try this product out if you have thinning hair...it is a bit expensive but your hair is worth it!

My first time wearing a bright lipstick! Make Up Forever Lipstick Color #36. DO YOU DARE?

Girls. I absolutely love this lipstick. It is expensive at $19 but it doesn't bleed and the color is true to the tube. I know it doesn't look like a everyday color but it really brings out a playful side in you.

I had such a blast with this color! I wore it all night and it never dried up my lips! My lips are very very sensitive. Trust me. They peel even with chap stick! Anyway, I think its actually pretty wearable a night. It brightens up your look and actually surprises people. I went to a semi highschool reunion and people were telling me how different I look simply because I was wearing this lipstick! I hope you gals try it out, if not this color something else. It really give you something special! ^^

Thats all for now!

A TV Show You Are Currently Addicted To Day 10

A TV show I am currently addicted to. Photo Blog Challenge DAY 10!

I am not sure if I am addicted to any television shows as of current. It seems to me that there isn't one that I can't live without. I use to watch "How i met your mother" religiously as well as "Rules of Engagement" and "Big Bang Theory". However, I don't see myself hurrying home for any television shows any more. 

I do still enjoy the shows i've listed above...but i can truly say that I miss "Doll House". I remember wanting to come home every friday nights to watch yet another crazy story unfold on that series. I swear the best series go away so damn fast! If you haven't seen "Doll House"...I'd advise you to download it right away! In fact, my husband and I still have the last episode to watch because we don't want the series to end. Its been on our TIVO for the last year!
