I know, I know….my whole “Target Buy of the Week” series hasn’t exactly been a weekly thing. My apologies for that. My freelancing career has been going stronger than ever, so my leisurely visits to Target have been far and few between <insert Tiff’s whiney whine here>
But alas! I’ve found a Target-based blogworthy product recently. And even better, it’s getting posted today - a Monday - the most respectable day of the week (or so says Wall Street).
Sonia Kashuk’s Nylon No. 15 Foundation Brush for $9.99 is a VERY, very wise purchase, ladies. Why you ask? Well, here you go:
- Sponges are a shitty way to apply foundation. Sponges soak up your foundation and essentially waste your makeup, requiring you to buy more of your favorite (and expensive) foundation before you should really have to. And they’re bacteria-ridden! Ew.
- Same with the fingers. Applying foundation with your fingers/skin is not only hard to do (not even pro’s can do it this way), you’re foundation won’t go on smooth and will be cakey in various spots throughout your face. Definitely not a sexy look. Men hate cakey foundation.
See, I use MAC’s liquid foundation ($20+/bottle) and I’ve found this cheap nylon foundation brush to be a boon to my makeup regimen. It seriously glides on my foundation like the most silkiest pair of stockings imaginable, and it’s only $9.99?! Do you realize at MAC, or at any other high-end makeup store, you’d be paying at least twice that amount?
This brush is so full of “win” I don’t even know where to begin…go buy it!

My 5th podcast discusses motherhood with a disability, great tights from StockinGirl.com, and the Mitrofanoff bladder procedure (a great optiond for women in wheelchairs who want to cath independently).

Enjoy!!

You likey? These are their “Romantica” tights and are uber-girly.
I bought them from my favorite stocking website, StockinGirl.com, for $12.00 the other day. They’re featured in their “March Special” section. Great, great deal.
WHEN they’ll start paying me for all this free promoting I do for them, I’ll never know…

In this new podcast (with music from Professir X, a quad rapper from NJ), I got to interview my humor idol (and C6 quad): Meaghan Gallagher! Great listen people. She’s a theater director with a lot of interesting insight into which plays she wants to vs. what the AB-world expects her to do.
Also discussed the disability travel organization, Open Doors, and my Adjust-a-Sink experience.
Listen here!

Dude. Look at these GIANT starfish that were just found at the bottom of our crazy/lovely planet.

Who doesn’t like free stuff? Seriously. Even celebs go gah-gah over swag bags at awards shows and they have more money than GOD.
So here is my gift to you:
The Livejournal (LJ) ”FreeStuff” Community
I just joined this community a couple of months ago and so far have amassed quite the collection of free shit. Even today I recieved some “fake tears” frrom Bauch & Lomb. Don’t need them. My eyes are fine, but HEY they’re free!
Oh this community is so full of win I don’t even know where to begin…

PS. You must have a free LJ account to join.
Very sad , but something that needs to be shared:
Disabled Pregnant Woman Used As Target Practice, Dies
My question is a simple one: What makes people this cruel? She was obvious not a threat, she had the mentality of a child so they couldn’t very well hold her accountable for anything she may have said/done that might have pissed them off. But to TORTURE, IMPRISON HER in a basement for months on end….WHY, why, WHY?
What do they get out of this??

…but don’t have the money for a personal trainer or an expensive diet center? If so, then Spark People may be just the “diet help” website for you.
This website does everything from having a HUGE database that lists the calories for about every food in existence, to planning out your weekly meals, to online support groups.
My friend “C” is currently using their website and it’s the first time in years that anything has worked for her.
Go Spark!

This is not a dress, ladies. It may look like it is, but it’s actually a two-piece halter top/skirt combo.
This is the perfect garment for a 24/7 sitting-down fashion diva: No bunching at the waist, and even better, it’s MUCH easier to put on (have you tried putting on a dress lately w/o being able to stand? Horrendous!).
I also bought a pair of black “shaper” cotton yoga pants from this site with extremely long inseams (36″), and was very pleased.
You can buy this sassy black and white number for $69.99 from Long Elegant Legs.

…but cute nonetheless.
