This Week in Total Beauty: July 4

Happy Fourth of July, everyone! For me in particular, it's Happy Three Day Weekend! Boy, was I glad to sleep in today! Right now the neighborhood block party is going, the band is playing, and I'm sure the barbecue is going, too. Later I'll be going to watch some fireworks with friends and family. My toes are royal blue (and so will my eyeliner be, once I pull myself together!), and it looks like I'll get some sweet sweet downtime this weekend.

If you're taking it easy this weekend too, take some of that time to check out the excellent things going on around the Total Beauty community!
