Etiquette for Adults Part Deux


This is the second and last part in the series, Etiquette for adults. In case you missed it, here is the first part in Etiquette for Adults. Some of us are in severe need in a crash course in manners, so here are 4 more rules every modern grown up should follow.

Learn the appropriate times for swearing. Having a filthy mouth is not a badge of honor. But let's face it, in today's culture everyone curses. When I am around a certain group of friends we swear more than a group of drunken bikers. But any other time I chose my words very cautiously. I know whom it is appropriate to curse in  front of and who it's not. It's never appropriate to curse in public, around children or the elderly, at work, school, church, funerals, weddings. So only use swear words in the privacy of your home, or the home of other fowl mouthed people.


Tip your waitress. A good friend of mine that I've known since childhood, never tips her waitress. After many embarrassing lunch dates, I asked why she didn't tip. She said growing up her parents never tipped so she didn't know when she was supposed to. Any time you go to an actual sit down restaurant(not fast food) you should tip. It's also very nice to tip your hair dresser and the person who does your nails. After all, these people are very under paid.


Learn where your personal space is, and stay out of others. There is not many situations more uncomfortable than standing in line at the supermarket or target and the person behind you standing right behind you. Most of the time you can feel their breathe on you. Or having someone talk to you and them be an inch from your face. If you have never had this to happen to you, then you are probably the one doing it to others. Rule of thumb, stay at the very least an arms length away from others.


Don't chew gum, ever. This is my biggest pet peeve ever. I despise gum chewing with a passion. It is very gross, unsanitary and it makes you look like a cow chewing grass. The noise of someone chewing gum is worse than nails on a chalkboard. Okay, so now i'm just ranting. But seriously, it is one of the most ill mannered things you can do. And to all gum chewers of the world, just spit it out, for the sake of the rest of us.

Bare Minerals Beauty and the Beach Review

Last week I cashed in my beauty points on Sephora.com for this lovely sample set by bare minerals. The set is called Beauty and the Beach and it includes 5 pieces for a summer look. The set included marvelous moxie lip gloss in party starter, ready bronzer in the skinny dip, bare minerals ready blush in the natural high, all over face color in pure radiance and a sample of their lash domination mascara . So here is my take on the set: Here it is ladies! Marvelous Moxie lipgloss in Party Starter- this is a darker, coral and peach color. It was very sticky but it lasted for a few hours. It matched the blush perfectly. Ready Blush in The Natural High : This blush is a nice peachy pink color, it looks really shimmery in the package but looks more matte when applied. I loved that the color matched the gloss! Ready Bronzer in The Skinny Dip- I used this to contour and sculpt my face and it turned out beautiful. It matched my skin tone very nicely. Its very similar to t

Best Fragrances of 2017

I am such a Perfume junkie. I change fragrances with clothes, moods, seasons and events. I've always felt like Perfume is a luxury that women should spoil their selves with. I love giving perfumes to my friends, family, co-workers, neighbors(you get the picture). And my favorite gift is always perfume(hint-hint)! Every department store visit, I head to the fragrance counter before I check out anything else to see what's new(Yes fragrance  girl, you can give me a spritz).  Ok, now that  you get the idea of how deep my relationship with perfume is.  2017 has been a great year for the fragrance industry. I thought long and hard and I really can't remember trying a scent that I didn't like. From new releases from beloved favorite brands, Gucci Bloom, Victor & Rolf Magic, Tom Ford Oud Minerale to new fragrences from Diptyque Eau des Sens, Jo Malone London Jade Leaf Tea Cologne, and Atelier Cologne CafĂ© Tuberosa.  It was a struggle to find my top 5 favorite scent
