Beauty For Breakfast Pt. 6
Product: M·A·C Powder Blush in Trace Gold
Been Using It For: 6 years
How Did I Find It?: I wasn’t technically wearing real makeup until I got to high school, but this was the first product I bought on my own. By then, I was a sophomore in high school, 15 years old and attending my first semi-formal dance. Not knowing any better and wanting to be like every one else, I called into a department store and scheduled an appointment for whatever counter would have me. MAC, Chanel, Benefit, Dior – I didn’t know the difference then. I landed at MAC and after loving the shimmery glow left on my face, (I thought I looked sun-kissed, but in photographs, it looked like the sun had taken a big ‘ol dump on my face. I was an oompa loompa w/o the artificial tanning) I purchased the bronzer. It is safe to say that I now have some self control when using it and can use it in moderation. It wasn’t until recently that I learned that using bronzer was not all that appropriate for the fall/winter and more for summer, but for six years I completely ignored that fact. Do what you want – as long as it looks okay. Godspeed.

Sephora Partners Up With Hello Kitty
Slated to release mid-January, Sephora’s new collaboration with Hello Kitty will include make-up, brushes, fragrance, mirrors, blotter paper, and a cute little shower cap. I am loving the look of this collection because it seems more subtle than the MAC x Hello Kitty collaboration that was released two years ago.

The New Jersey 5
5 thieves were caught on tape stealing from the Apple store. They took basically everything on display in only 31 seconds.
Kind of reminds me of the movie “Gone in 60 Seconds.” The five guys were able to steal 23 Macbook Pros, 14 iPhones and 9 iPod Touches.
People just don’t know who they are messing with these days.
Mac’s are not unstoppable
My first Apple computer arrived at my house when I was about 5 or 6. At some we decided to upgrade completely to PC’s and it was probably the best decision we’ve ever made.
Mac’s might be trendy, slim, lightweight etc, but they cannot live up to the performance that I need in a computer. Besides the iPod, that is the only product I will buy from them and even THAT freezes up sometimes.
The other day, my friend Chuck posted as his Facebook status that his $3000 Mac laptop broke after one year when he really needed it the most to edit his videos more extensively. This caused kind of a flurry over his status of people who loathe or love Macs.
The truth is, Macs are not perfect and Dino Dai Zovi was out to prove it! The author of “The Mac Hacker’s Handbook,” has said that, “there’s a an Apple security flaw in OS X that can give a malicious coder complete control of a Mac.”
At the core of the hack is a short code script that gives a hacker access to a Mac’s memory. Making it possible to gain root access to the machine, and subsequently a remote TCP connection is setup. Allow said hacker to gain access to your personal data, attack the machine, execute files, or quietly monitor Safari to sniff your attempts to access your financial and banking details online.
Just say no.
