Winetasting and other weekend adventures!

5/15/2010

My friend and I decided to have a fun girly afternoon in the "Couv." It was FANTASTIC! Just what I needed after a long, stressful week of NOT working out, crazy antics, cleaning the garage, and state testing.

First, we hit up Namaste Indian Cuisine for their $8.95 lunch buffet, and ate Indian food until our stomachs were going to explode. If you haven't eaten at Namaste, you need to. It is DELICIOUS.

Next, we went to TJ Maxx and Ross. MAN, I love these stores! There's always SOMETHING good. Check out today's finds:

Then we went to the mall to get some sunscreen. Small rant: My absolute Holy Grail sunscreen, Shiseido SPF 55+++ lotion, has been discontinued. WHY, Shiseido?! WHYYYYY?! The SPF 55 lotion mattified while having high SPF, and was just amazing! It was the only sunscreen that kept my incredibly oily skin looking decent, AND it didn't break me out. If that isn't a miracle, I don't know what is. Now my choices are SPF 55 cream, the SPF 38 lotion, or the SPF 60 lotion. And according to Makeupalley, none of them are close to what the SPF 55 lotion was. But I decided to give Shiseido a chance to redeem themselves, and I bought the SPF 38 lotion.

And then....we went winetasting! We went to a little local vineyard called English Estate Winery that specializes in boxed wine. They also have a delicious selection of dessert wines.

Tomorrow's agenda: another long run!

What's happening this weekend for you?

Shiseido recently discontinued my favorite tinted moisturizer, and now I am stuck in a weird place where I have two foundation-like products, both of which I don't like that much. :(

(I'll admit that I just use the Neutrogena SPF 45 sunscreen - and I love it!)

Hey Amy, I'm sorry they discontinued your favorite tinted moisturizer! It is seriously upsetting when that happens. :(

I haven't had luck with Neutrogena's sunscreens in the past (they left me oily and with little zits everywhere! And my mom had the same problem). However, I'm tempted to try Neutrogena's new Ultra Sheer liquid sunblock that comes in SPF 55 and SPF 70+.
