GLAM - Celeb makeup

Some of you know and some may not, but I used to work for Mac Cosmetics and I love makeup!!! By no means do I rely on it to feel beautiful, but let's face it, makeup is so much fun to play with! You can get super creative or just keep it simple.. either way, I love it and wanted to share some of my fav glam celeb looks!

My favourite holiday drink

I'm sure a lot of people already know about this, but I just recently discovered the Peppermint Mocha at Starbucks and WOW... this tastes like a Junior Mint coffee! I'm not even a coffee drinker. So for any of you who happen to be interested in trying something from Starbucks, I would DEFINITELY suggest the Peppermint Mocha!

New Christmas Song

Wow!!! I seriously need to keep up with this blog. And I will.... starting with letting you all know that I recorded a Christmas song this year, 'I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus'. Check it out on my myspace page... http://www.myspace.com/shannonalvares.

The song was produced by Starting From Scratch and de la Vega... and I was also lucky enough to have my uncle Keith Murray play guitar on it. I hope you guys like it!

The Lovely Bones

Anybody out there wanting to see "The Lovely Bones" movie???? DON'T BOTHER!!!!
I was so excited to see this movie as I just finished reading the book, and it turned out to be a waste of 2 hours that I will never get back.

Alice Sebold creates such an incredible story about love, grief, and the bond between a father and his daughter. Throughout the story, the reader is able to connect with each of the main characters and learns about how they all play major roles in the deeper message of the story - that love outweighed revenge.

I can see how Peter Jackson was TRYING to get this same message across in the movie, but he seems to have gotten a little too caught up with the silly imagery of what "the inbetween" is supposed to look like. One of the characters was not even in the movie and too many pivotal moments were nonexistent.

I completely understand that movies are made for Hollywood and will not always be identical to the books, but I believe they also need to make sense!

If any of you are interested in "The Lovely Bones", PLEASE just read the book!
