I'm melting, I'm melting...
Hi ladies,
I attempted to have a stoop sale this weekend. For those of you who have the pleasure of living in real houses with yards, a "stoop sale" is a yard sale for brownstone dwellers like moi. I was trying to get rid of a bunch of random stuff, since recent developments have me thinking that my teeny apartment is about to get MUCH teenier.
More on that later! Tee-hee, I'm such a tease.
Anyway, it went really well until a torrential downpour rained me out (actually, I'm totally lying. It was a failure, mostly because the bulk of my stuff was old shoes, and apparently most Park Slopers don't even KNOW a someone who wears a size 10. Hmph.) But to tell you the truth, I was rained out way before the thunderstorm happened. It was sooo hot, and I was a sweaty, bleary mess. By the end of two hours out there, my blush had traveled to my chin. I won't even tell you what happened to my mascara, it was too ghastly. It seems to me, though, that a fabulous new makeup collection has been sent to answer my summertime prayers. Cargo "Melt-Proof" Makeup Collection ($39...a $90 value!), a collection of three water-resistant products, was formulated specifically for sweltering summer days! I don't actually own this yet...my friend introduced it to me yesterday after I told her the story of my melting maquillage. But I tried it on and tested it out at an outdoor flea market, and my face was totally intact at the end of the day! The limited-edition collection includes a the Better-than-waterproof Mascara, a Melt-proof Bronzer, and a Melt-proof 3 in 1 Eye-Cheek-Lip Palette in Coral/Shimmering Apricot/Bronze (fabulous for all skin tones...seriously, my friend is blonde and it looked gorge on both of us). Enjoy!
xoxo,
Tia

Oh my God, this sounds Wondrous. I must try.
I'm more curious about the event that'll make your apartment teenier. Good luck!
The apartment will be teenier huh?
I am keeping my fingers crossed for whatever that means:)
WEIRD STOMACH THING?!?! TINY APARTMENT?!?!? Hmmm...I feel a fine infant with incredible hair coming on...but I ain't one to gossip, so you ain't heard it from me! (I love "In Living Color!")
On another note..this product sounds neat, but I have a new rule that I can't buy new products until I use up old ones :(
We've been on to you for MONTHS now, Tia-bo-Bia!! :)
Congrats! :)
(on the makeup...*wink*)
I would love a chance to buy your shoes, I'm a proud size 10!!!!
I need to try these melt proof products. Are they hard to remove at night?
Teenier apartment? I can hardly wait to se why. I'm so excited!
YAY!!! I bet there is a tiny Tia on her way!!! Congrats!!!
Congratulations on your 'can't stand my perfume', 'apartment getting teensier','gonna tease everybody for months until I'm ready to tell the world I'm pregnant'...exciting, mysterious event :)
I think you're preggers!!!
Congrats Tia (I think)!!! You’re such a Beyonce/Jay-Z mystery!
ohhh, i think congrats are in order! congrats! a little bebeh, so exciting...:)
I'm a 10, too, and I'm sure you had some great shoes for sale. Too bad I'm so dang far away.
You know you can have you "stoop" sale online! I am sure we (meaning me) will be able to help you make room in your place!
You ain't slick Tia! So I'll just say best wishes on that apt thang and whatever else may be brewing...

Heyyy I'm a proud size 10 :)
This sounds like a cool product...must try...thanks!!!
also a size ten
ha, i knew it! someone's getting ready to welcome some beautiful bi-racial butterflies into the world (sorry, i was watching the marathon of ANTM that mtv plays every weekend and Jade just about called herself that every 10 min)
well congrats!!!
Loved that tip because I'm so oily, I almost melt in the winter!
thanks.
I saw the Cargo kit at Sephora the other day but had to leave it. My money is oh so tight. But that also doesn't stop me from wanting to buy all of your size 10's!!!
I think an online sale is perfect.
Are you pregnant :)
Dude, it's obvious :) lol
Un petit bebe!
Tia,
I totally agree -- an online stoop sale is in order! I'm a healthy 9 1/2, but I'll stuff some insoles in those bad boys if given the chance!
And the Cargo set does sound just marvelous, darling!
oh yes! online sell would be perfect for my size 10 toesies.
EBAY would be perfect! :)
Couldn't hurt right?
p.s. yay on your future exciting news...
Is it true Tia! Will your brownstone soon be filled with the pitter-patter of tiny feet? (And I don't mean Chappie!) :)
Hey Miss Tia! Congrats in advance for whatever you have brewing/in the oven. :) An SYB online sale would be cool even though all the SYB-ers don't wear a size 10 shoe(though many seem to based on the comments), I'm sure your other items (clothing, accessories, superfluous cosmetic treats)would fly outta here. Blessings!
the gigs up.....stop being a tease and come clean.
we know you are pregnant....either that or you guys are getting a puppy. :)
Congratulations Tia!! You're about to lose some readers once we all have to start hating you when that glow is even more bananas than it usually is!! ;o) So happy for you guys!!
Yes, please online sale is a must! I wear a 10-10.5 and would love to to get some bargins. If you are expecting congrats! I'm 11 weeks now and can't wait for my little one to reveal her/him self.
Tia,
Love you and everything you do so much... I think there is a little beautiful bundle of joy that's making everything so tiny. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
You ain't slick, Tia. "Weird stomach thingy," now your apartment is about to get smaller. Uh-huh! Congratulations in advance. The baby is going to be GORGEOUS!!!
Hi honey... So just so ya know... Im a size 10!!!! Yay!!!!!
Congrats Tia! I just love my 4 year and gorgeous 3 mo. baby girl. Not that I am implying anything, I'm just saying........lol!
The make-up sounds fab!
let us know when you're due... =}
I'll be checking for the 'expecting' beauty tips!
im sooo exciting for the apartment cramping news!!!
Recent Developments have made my fabulous condo in Chicago feel a bit teeny as well!! But my tummy is also getting bigger, maybe that's why I seem to not have enough room.
Please don't tease us! We faithful readers want to know if it is so!
Love your Blog Tia!! (Even though I've never posted a response before). ;-)
I wear a size 10 in shoes. You should take pictures and sell them on your site.
TIA!! Congratulations---how exciting ;) I'm so very happy for you...
omg! you are part of the size 10 club!
okay seriously i'm so glad that someone put this out there , because honestly, when we were in LA i kept an eye out thinking.. hmmm something is up. only something like first stages of pregnancy will show on your face AND NOT HIDE regardless of what you do. no partying with us either? my mommy radar was out, especially since tia always talks about being 30, happily married, i just wondered when a baby tia was coming!
so if this is the good news (i'm sure it is) i'm going to have a drink for myself in celebration and tell myself "i'm good"! LOL
good idea to have a online stoop sale, blogger extraordinaire!
so what say you tia?
I'm a size 9 1/2 to 10. Next time let me know what you have sale - I'm always on the shoe hunt.
I went to Sephora today to try this compact. I am about the same complexion as you are but it looked totally crazy on me. I couldn't figure out what was the lip color what was the blush, etc. It could be one of those, put it anywhere you want compacts, but that light coral looked a mess on my lips. Oh well :)
