You may recall an earlier post on my denim difficulties -- finding jeans that fit my big ol' bootie and thighs and are also the right length isn't easy, especially when I have a particular style in mind. So, when Joe's Jeans contacted me and asked if I'd be willing to review a pair of their jeans, I said, "Sure, why not?" Worst case scenario, I hate them and make a friend's day by giving them away, right?

When I'm getting glammed up for a party or a night out, I have to admit that I put most of the focus on my eyes. I'm a firm believer in drawing attention to just one feature, so if I play up my eyes, I leave my lips fairly neutral. However, as every girly-girl knows, certain occasions call for switching it up.

I grew up as a blonde. I was naturally blonde as a child, and when I reached high school, I started getting highlights, and when I finally decided in college that I no longer wanted to be blonde, I made the mistake of purchasing a permanent brunette dye at the drugstore (I'm sure the cashier was laughing on the inside as I paid).

Like many of you, I have one hell of a time finding jeans. It seems like it shouldn't be so difficult -- there are a million different styles, and all I need is ONE PAIR. But, I have a few, uh, let's say quirks that make shopping tough:

I have made a thrilling discovery. I, too, can have wavy hair. That might not seem like a very big deal to you, but let me explain. My entire life, my hair has been straight as a pin. I've had my fair share of perms -- I did grow up in the 80's, after all -- but when not permed, my locks were straight and pretty limp. Now that I'm older, I've played around with different haircuts that give my hair more body, and keeping it fairly short and layered makes that happen. But, still, it's STRAIGHT. Or is it?
