What Side Are You On?

So, the husband and I both have "our sides" of the bed. Once we tried switching sides and neither of us slept well and woke up with cricks in our necks. No fun.

The other night, the H fell asleep on my side of the bed. So what did I do as a fabulous wife? Well, I waited for him to roll around enough to give me enough room to squeeze into my spot.

At home, I have to sleep on the "outside" of the bed, whichever side is closest to the door. Since I was a child I've always had to sleep by the door. However, whenever I'm a guest somewhere I'll sleep on the "inside" away from the door or next to a wall/window.

We may switch it up when we get our own place, but for now we have MY side and HIS side.


So loves, which side do you favor? Isn't it funny that we tend to favor one side over the other?

Sandal Wishlist

Spring fever has officially hit my household. All I was to do is shop, shop, shop! One thing I have on my to-buy list is some new sandals. Here's what I've been checking out so far:

Colin Stuart Platform Espadrille
These are so sexy and remind me a bit of the CL's that were big last year.

Colin Stuart T-Strap Espadrille
I mostly love these because they're only a 41/4 inch. Thank goodness! It's so hard to find lower wedges. I'd probably go for the glitter, but who knows. I'm not sure I'm in love with these.

ALDO 'Harvat' Platform Sandal
Ok, I'd probably get these in nude, but didn't want to showcase only nude sandals. LOL.

Hinge 'Asher' T-Strap Sandal
The t-strap would be so sexy with summer hemlines.

DV by Dolce Vita 'Archer' Sandal
I love my DVs from last year (check them out here) and have been sold on the line. The gold accents are so pretty. I've tried these on in person and they're the perfect flat.

Chinese Laundry Women's Drastic Wedge Pump
I love the mix of patent and cork with these shoes. Chinese Laundry really makes some great shoes (and handbags!). I'd love these pair too.

So there's what I've been browsing online for. My birthday is coming up soon so I'm going to add some cute sandals to my wishlist. 

What sandals have you been looking for? Have you bought any yet for the summer?

Product Review: Urban Decay Naked Palette 2



 
Here's a side by side swap of the UDNP1 (top) vs the UDNP2 (bottom) 
via Makeup and Beauty Blog's below and check out her post with her review.


Here's the things to note from the video:

-Quality is just as great as the first the one. Obviously, they're the same brand.
-Very neutral colors, great for any skin tone and eye color.
-Case is superior to the UDNP1.
-Perfect for those starting out in make-up or prefer more natural colors. There are still some dark shades (that black is pretty heavy), but has more daytime and lighters shades than UDNP1.
-If I had to pick just one of the palettes, I'd choose the first one, only because I prefer more of a smoky eye, but I'm also more familiar with it since I've had it for so long. 
-I use both palettes frequently, the UDNP2 mostly for work and day activities and the UDNP1 for nights/weekends.
-My MAC shadows, besides my holy grail shades, have completely been ignored and have pretty much become obsolete since buying these palettes. They're THAT good.
-Definitely worth the funds!! Every makeup lover should own them.

Do you have the palettes? How do you like them? Which do you prefer?

Do you guys prefer written or vlog reviews? Or is a post like this that has both preferable?
