Still Encouraging Me

My husband had bought me a tripod, a really nice one too! He said “I’m not able to take your pics anymore so you’re going to need this." I refused to use it and didn't even open it,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was spent with family, we celebrated my mother –in-laws birthday, it was a small / intimate gathering. I kept my outfit very comfortable since the gathering was at my in-laws house. I wore joggers with a matching long cardigan from New York and Company. I wrapped my new Old Navy scarf around me and I was comfy, cozy and warm. If you follow me on INSTAGRAM then you’ve seen me wear this scarf several times, it’s my new favorite, it will definitely get many uses this season.

As usual thank you for reading and please tell me what you did this weekend. Anything fun / interesting?

Labor Day 2018

Happy End of Summer!

I hope everyone had a great day. What did you do? I originally had no plans today but at the last minute we decided to catch a movie followed by dinner. It was a good choice because honestly it was way too hot to do anything out doors but it would have been a waste of a day to stay home. Afterwards we went home, unfortunately I have to work tomorrow so I couldn't hang, I was also a bit tired.

Over all it was a good day! Now I patiently wait for cooler days - sweater weather.

Normally I do not wear shorts but being that it was 91 degrees I decided to ditch the long pants. Now, the thing about this hot weather is that I tend to get swollen. You can probably tell, my sandals look a little snug. With that being said I wore them for the first time today. I though they were going to be much more comfy but swollen feet and new sandals aren't a good mix. Initially upon trying them on I thought they were very comfortable but then after walking outside with them I noticed they slip off and they irritate my big toe. I guess I have to break them in but I could of easily gone up a 1/2 size bigger. I have another pair in Tan but after wearing these white ones today I decided that I'm going to return them. I've been contemplating on getting the Hermes Oran sandals but after reading the reviews I could not justify paying so much for an uncomfortable sandal so instead I settled for the dupe which were on sale. I really do like this sandal so I'm hoping they stretch a bit because I really want to take them on my next vacation, coming up very soon so be on the look out for that. Anywho, it is way after midnight so to bed I go.

End Of Summer

Happy September!! Who else is excited about Fall?

Last week was hectic for me, work was a little crazy but I'm happy I survived. It was one of those weeks where every single morning I contemplated on calling out - I didn't tho. On top of the craziness I wasn't feeling well both mentally and physically. I have so much to do and its not getting done. Ugh!!

On another note I changed my social medias name to reflect this blog. I used Sasse142 for so many years, I thought about it long and hard and decided Sasse142 isn't who I am anymore. I came up with that name while sitting on the toilet ha ha. I needed an AOL screen name and that's what I came up with, Sass E (e for Erika) 142 (the street I lived on). I haven't lived on that street in over 22 yrs! I changed everything to (or tried at least) NYCLifeandGlam. After doing so it felt right, it was meant to be - I'm happy.

So, if you noticed from my pictures I beautified myself for my sister's birthday dinner. Dinner with a burlesque show and it was fun, I loved it, I mean who doesn't love a good Burlesque show, so classy. It's been a while since I put on lashes or a full face of makeup for that matter. The lashes made this simple look a bit more dramatic! I swear if I had the time to put lashes on every day I would! I love the way they make my eyes look not to mention I feel sexy. I took the time to use some new FENTY BEAUTY items I bought a while back. Huge rave for the Killawatt highlighter tho, I used it on my lids and it gave me the perfect amount of glitter 2 thumbs up for sure. I'm loving Fenty Beauty products so far! I will list all products below.

I apologize for the poor quality photos. They were taken with my {very} old iphone. I had no intentions whatsoever to have a "photo shoot". The night was perfect and I just decided to go for it.
