You know how you can tell I’m fancy? My sweatshirt has French words on it. Also, I wear my French word sweatshirt to nice Italian restaurants and drink lots of wine. I’m very worldly like that.

This restaurant (Mama Carolla’s) is just a couple blocks from my house and I heard great things but didn’t go until just last week. You guys. This place has the best garlic bread I’ve ever had. And let me tell you, I’ve had my fair share of garlic bread. When the Atkin’s Diet started getting popular circa 2004, I made my own t-shirt that said “I Eat Carbs.” That’s how important bread is to me. So now let me repeat: the best garlic bread I’ve ever had.

The down side is that my manicotti seemed merely decent, but it might have been great and only seemed not great in comparison to the garlic bread. So my only complaint about this place is that its appetizer is so good that it will make all other food taste like garbage.

I was in the mood for a new fall lipstick the other day. Like a nice berry-ish color. I already have one, but it’s super intense and a little too dramatic for my Snow-White-meets-Cate-Blanchett complexion. I decided to try the Revlon Super Lustrous Shine Lipstick (in Plum Velour) hoping that a shiny formula would be more sheer. Well, it is, but it also has the staying power of a drunk Vegas marriage. All it takes is a couple sips of coffee or a particularly forceful whistle and this stuff is gone. Wah wah wahhhh. I guess my lipstick search isn’t over. I don’t really want to trash talk Revlon though – I have other Revlon lipsticks that I love. I just wouldn’t recommend the Super Lustrous Shine line.

In better news, this jacket is the perfect fall berry color, and it doesn’t wipe off. If anyone knows where I can get a lipstick that matches this jacket but looks good on pale people, holla atcha girl.
