Teresa Giudice Speaks Out About Her Breast Augmentation

Teresa Giudice, from Bravo�s hit series the Real Housewives of New Jersey, is known for being an outgoing, table flipping Italian princess. She also has been getting media attention for her onscreen footage of her Breast Augmentation procedure that she underwent.

The 37-year old told Steppin� Out magazine that she is �much more confident with my body now,� was an A-cup, and � after [she] breast fed, they looked different. [She] looked at them and went, Ewwwwww. They were deflated. [She] was just a big nipple.�

Giudice also said that she �never liked how [she] looked in bathing suits. [She] never wanted to put lingerie on.� And she feels that �you need boobs for lingerie.�

Having been married for nine years before the surgery, Giudice says that her husband did not care about her small breasts and he loved her the way she was, but that she got the procedure done for her, is happy and feels �so much sexier.�

And avid watchers of the show will know that the real gems of New Jersey are her spoiled, sassy, but adorably cute, four young daughters, Gia, 9, Gabriella, 5, Milania, 4, and Adriana, less than a year old. Giudice says that if her daughters want the procedure when they are older, she will fully support them.

Now that her procedure has settled she is showing off her new breast, in typical Teresa fashion: loud and proud.

EWP Giveaway!

Yesterday I got this GIANT box in the mail. [the sandal is in there to give you a sense of scale]

I opened it up and saw this:
It was Cover Girl's new smoky eye line!










But that wasn't all. Underneath the makeup kits was a chair from Pier 1 Imports. Seriously, an entire full-sized chair.

I looked it up on Pier 1's website, and it's $50. Y'all, Cover Girl sent me a $50 chair. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it though...


And of course there was a mirror to ensure flawless makeup application.


And handy dandy instructions.
And lots and lots of makeup. There are THREE lash blast mascaras


3 different colors of smoky shadow blast

And 3 liners.

I decided I didn't need to use all the makeup and would just use one and give two sets away to two of my faithful readers.
So I grabbed the "glamorous" smoky eye set and followed the instructions and this is what I got:

I only did one eye so you can see a comparison with just my plain eye.

In all honesty, the smudge stick did get the smoky eye effect it advertised, but I just don't like creamy eyeshadow. I like a nice powder eyeshadow, my eyelids have a lot of natural grease going on and I know a cream shadow is going to melt off within 30 mintues. So I'm not sure I'll be using the eyeshadow again only for that reason. The mascara, however, was great. And my only complaint about the liner is that it wasn't for a brown girl. It was this light brown color that just blended in with my eyelid, and didn't create the "glamorous" dramatic look Cover Girl was advertising. Black would have worked much better for me.

And now for the fun part: the giveaway! I will be choosing THREE lucky winners this week. One will receive the Cover Girl natural smoky makeup set (brown tones), one will receive the Cover Girl bold smoky eye makeup set (blue tones), and one reader will win a $20 WalMart gift card.

Each makeup set contains the CoverGirl SmokyShadowBlast, LineExact Liquid Liner and LashBlast Volume-Blasting Mascara.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment and let me know which prize you want - do you want a natural look? do you want to be bold? do you want to go to WalMart? Just let me know!


This was a compensated review and giveaway. CoverGirl provided me with the CoverGirl Smoky Eye kit, information, and Walmart gift card to giveaway through MyBlogSpark.

EWP Giveaway Coming Up...

A GIANT box from Cover Girl arrived for me today. I hear tell this one will have more ridiculous things inside than the Pantene giveaway, like a full size makeup chair. Will have to test it out and then will have a giveaway soon. So keep your eyes peeled!

outfit posts

I must admit I've been slacking in the blog area lately. My life has made some big changes in the last few months and it's hard to keep up with all the things I usually do (even the things I love doing like blogging.)
So to make up for it, I'm trying to be a good blogger and take requests. And the thing I always get the most emails and comments about are asking for more outfit posts.
So my dear readers, I am here to say I am going to up the outfit posts. Urban Outfitters dress, White House Black Market belt, Shoes from... I don't remember :)
Marc by Marc Jacobs top, thrifted skirt, J. Crew belt, Jessica Simpson pumps

Robert Rodriguez dress and belt, Steve Madden pumps

Hopefully more to come next week!
