Make a MAC Appointment for Fafi for Mac

If you don't feel like driving all the way to Chandler for a visit with the artist for Fafi, then just make an appointment with MAC at Dillards Tucson Mall for a makeover to test the line.  The event will take place from February 22-24, so call and make an appointment soon. I love it mainly for the packaging:)  I am going to at least buy a powder or a bronzer to use in my handbag as a mirror:)  

Local Ways to Make a Difference--Go Green!

Now through April 22nd (Earth Day) donate fur coats that you may have received as a gift, found at a thrift store or bought yourself to Coats for Cubs.  Scary fact: dogs and raccoon dogs are being sold as "faux fur."  Doesn't that make you feel creepy?  Well, help make a difference by donating your old furs.  For more information on this and the event, go to Buffalo Exchange. 

Did you know that right here in Tucson, we have a radio station called, One Green Heart?  The radio station streams lives at KNST.  Mrs. Green goes mainstream Saturdays at Noon on 790 KNST AM radio.  The station is geared towards having fun going green, getting healthier and just doing whatever you can to make this world we live in a better place-no matter what you do.  Check out the site, the radio station and the blog.  There is an event in a couple of days that sounds interesting as well.  See information on event in link here.

I have loved Buffalo since I was in high school living in Portland, Oregon.  I loved to shop and the store allowed me to get new things after trading items that would have just stayed in my closet forever and go unused. Well, we Tucsononians are lucky enough to be in the location where Buffalo started and has the Corporate Headquarters and for V-Day they are having an event, just for you.  Check out the invite below.

M•A•C
February 15-17, 11am-6pm
Chandler Fashion Center, (480) 855-2500Scottsdale Fashion Square, (480) 946-4111
Fafi is a French artist who conjures up the most curvaceous cuties—chick-a-boom characters that makes us smile. A Fafi girl has a Ph.D. in passion—she's an adventuress with an animated love for life! From Toulouse to Tokyo, the movie of her life is a rags-to-riches love story, an electric Technicolor dream in violet, coral and strawberry anime. Find her pouting on compacts, preening on packaging and as the cutest doll we've ever seen—soon to be on every M•A•C lover's vanity.

Wine Bar=Chic

There is a swank Wine Bar located at La Encantada called ARMITAGE.  ARMITAGE offers wine tastings, Happy Hour, Lunch Menus, Live Music and more to attract your pallet.  I personally LOVE French Martini's or Moscat di Asti wherever I go and they have both so I give them two thumbs up!  Cheers! 

Shop For A Cause This Weekend at Casas Adobes Plaza

Shop great stores like W Boutique, Boutique Isolde and Rochelle K and give back to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona.  Help cute little puppies and other animals when purchasing items that you already want:)  This is the first annual Paw & Claws at the Plaza---so make sure to make it in and make this the best event ever!  There are also great sales going on right now that you don't want to miss and Spring items are starting to come in.

There will be free gifts, drawing, raffles and adoptions, have fun! 

Movie Matters

There are so many fabulous options outside of the norm to take advantage of in Tucson when it comes to film.  Here are a couple to try this weekend.

Loft Cinema

Right now catch the Lost Boys for the Late Night Cult Classics.  This location is all about the arts and independent films.  So, catch great oldies or foreign films that you would not be able to find anywhere else. 

DeAnza Drive-In Theatre

Plays all the movies you can see at the normal theatre in the privacy of your car.

Fox Tucson Theatre

These are events down the line that I would mark your calendars for...but, you can even go to Saturday showings and enjoy a movie and drinks (alcohol and food).
