Question:

“It’s the end of your day and you’re rushing to get ready for an evening out. How do you create a nighttime look in just a few minutes?”

My Answer:

“A smokey eye”

See what a difference it makes and it only takes a minute or two!

• Put the darkest shade on the corner crease of your lid
• I use three colors: A dark, medium, and light shade
• Then complete with creme eyeliner and mascara

I was tweeting or Facebooking or something the other day about how much I love LOVE love Aromatique candles.  My favorite scent of all time is called “Amaretto Nog”.  Unfortunately most of the line has been discontinued.  However they still sell the smaller candles on the website.  I got a surprise package in the mail from Peggy at Aromatique and she MAILED ME AN AMARETTO NOG CANDLE!!!  That was so sweet of them and that’s why I love Aromatique & what excellent customer service I must say! 

Lindsey won the pumpkin shirt contest a few weeks ago!  My sweet sister, Bonnie, made shirts for BOTH her boys because she didn’t want to leave the other out.  She’s so awesome!  She is making some pretty cute Christmas shirts right now too….I hope Connor gets to model one 😉 

Go like her Facebook page HERE so you can keep up with all the cute stuff she’s making!

And I framed Connor’s Halloween picture on our counter.  I love that picture!  He knows exactly where those M&M’s are and begs for them every day….he points and begs over and over! Eeeek!

I’m excited about fall HOT coffee drinks and ready to use my Dean & Deluca mug I got in NYC.  I never drink hot coffee except for a few months out of the year. 

Don’t judge me in this pic, we just got home from our evening hike.  AND-Keeping it real this is what I look like when I get home every day.  I get out of my work clothes as quick as I can and into my comfy pants 🙂
Oh BTW- Over 8 lbs lost so far.  We are in week 4 of our Paleo lifestyle…we’ve cheated off and on, but for the most part our main meals are strictly healthy eating.  My goal is to have lost at least 20-25 lbs by Christmas.

I got my October Birchbox in this month :

It was okay again….eh…really some months are a lot better than others.

* Green tea fitness mints
* Eyebrow gel (I like this)
* Oil serum for your face?
* Mineral foot cream
* Hair masque

Working on keeping Connor out of trash cans….do they make child locks for those?  Ha ha!
