Did I ever tell you, Fall is my most favorite season? The smell of fresh, crisp air. Unpacking my Fall/Winter coats (in Los Angeles Fall coats double as Winter coats, tee hee). Breaking out the scarves! Oh my, I’m in heaven! The best part? Preseason sales!

Lately, I’ve been getting daily requests from readers asking for the MAC Cosmetics Friends and Family Sale I posted last year. It’s been unfortunate that I’ve had to reply to my readers that this coupon was valid for June 2008. Apparently MAC heard all your wishes and sent me their new SUMO SALE! Their Sumo Sale is WAY better than their Friends and Family. Save 25% (the F&F was only 15%) off your MAC Cosmetics online purchase.

I’ve been a bit preoccupied. Busy, busy June! It’s been some wacky weather in Los Angeles. Thunderstorms, rain, and 60 degree cold (yes, that’s cold for LA). I’d say the end is coming but I’m not ready to go! Too much left to do, too many places I haven’t vacationed to and too many cute shoes I haven’t worn.

Just because I’m been preoccupied, doesn’t mean you guys should miss out on the good stuff! Compliments of DailyCandy
