Make Me Over Stuff I’m Loving…

I received this new product from Benefit Cosmetics a couple weeks ago and I’m LOVING it!  You just glide on cheek & brow bones…then sculpt with its soft glow blender for your perfect gleam. Can be applied solo or over existing makeup. It gives you instant cheek bones and sculpts you face.

It comes in a wand and one side is the solid makeup, the other is the foam applicator for blending.

Another thing I am loving is this powder for your hair called “Powderful” and it’s by Got2b.  I got mine at CVS and it was around $6.  It instantly thickens your hair and creates that “poof” on top.  It is also great at controlling those loose strands of hair and works like a hairspray.  You just sprinkle a little on your hair and BADA BING!  It’s awesome trust me!

I’ll give one of these Powderfuls away to a reader just leave me a comment!  You will love it!
I’ll pick a winner on or around Oct. 15th
Look at this stud muffin before church last Sunday!  So cute!
He was up all night last night throwing up…poor baby.  It’s that stupid Happy Tot/Happy Baby food we gave him.  EVERY SINGLE TIME we feed it to Connor he throws up horribly 🙁 
Just a warning….I wouldn’t feed this to your child.  I have no idea, but it’s just this brand.
AND
WE BOOKED OUR PLANE TICKETS TO LONDON/PARIS NEXT YEAR!
YIPPPPPEEEEE!!!!
It only took 2 weeks to get our passports in so that was not bad at all! 
It’s official I am ready to fly!!!!!
Hope ya’ll are having a great week!

Scarlett’s RED Birthday party!

Yesterday I had the honor of taking pictures of Miss Scarlett’s first birthday 🙂

She loves the color red, so it didn’t surprise me that her party was just that…RED!
It turned out so cute and her Momma did such a great job.  It really is one of the cutest parties I have ever seen!
Thanks for letting me share your pictures of your special day & don’t grow up too fast sweet girl!

Saturday Morning Scene

We got a fun hat from Groovy Holidays.  They have the cutest banners, bags, & hats!  If you haven’t been over there to check it out you must because it is cuteness galore.  I already saw a banner I love for birthdays 🙂

The diet is going well.  I’m down 3 pounds so far this week.  AND….wait for it….it’s been a WEEK without Starbucks!!! Holla! 

I’m not gonna lie.  It hasn’t been easy watching my co-workers eat cake and candy all week right in front of me while I politely decline, but you have to start somewhere!

Now I’m gonna go spend my weekend with this crazy head who’s locked himself in closets twice already.  I try to explain if you shut the door on yourself YOU CAN’T GET OUT!!!!  Then I’ll hear screaming in the background and can’t find him….he’s in the closet….ugh!

Want to win a super cute Trick-Or-Treat bag?
Just leave me a comment.
I’ll pick a winner via random.org on Oct 8th

Happy weekend friends 🙂

A Little of This a Little of That

Today is day 3 of the paleo diet.  I’m finally starting to recover.  I guess you could say I’ve been detoxing or I’ve had the “diet flu”.  Basically I’ve felt like crap.  FINALLY today I have some energy & am starting to feel better….not 100%…but better. 

It’s amazing how much crap we put in our bodies.  My husband has been the lifeboat to this ship.  He’s made almost every single meal.  He is amazeballs.  With my new job and this new diet I have been on the verge of crazy!  Maybe it’s the no Starbucks….I dunno.  Regardless I’m starting to feel human again, a human who doesn’t require a $5 cup of coffee every day!  Cha’Ching!!!

I received my 25 free business cards from MINTED today.  I love them! 
I guess I was feeling the fall spirit when I ordered them because of the pumpkin color 🙂
Go get yours….they are free!!!!

I also got my Birchbox this month:

Lip moisturizer
Lotion
Nail polish (the stick on kind?)
Eyelash cards to shield your mascara from flaking
Mascara
Perfume

 Not bad this month….my favorite was the sticky nail polish.  I’m wearing it now and I like it lots!

 Aaaaaaand a Connor update……

He’s really into balls.  Anytime we see a ball or anything round in public he yells “BAAAAAAAALLLLL”  He’s been talking a lot and also throwing some tantrums that include kicking and laying on the floor…..following by a time out or spank. 

“It hurts me more than it hurts you.” 

I truly understand that saying now 🙁

So we have lots of crazy going on lately….but all is well!  I am stressed, but that’s due to new schedules and working extra hours, starting this diet, and also getting Connor on a new schedule.  I have less “me” time….but I’m good with that!  I’m happy and excited about the future and the changes that are being made inside and out!

And so it Goes

Day one of diet.  Hard.  Tired.  Hungry.

I can do this.

We just did our sprints & ate our chicken with cabbage/cucumber/mango salad.  Not as bad as you would think!  I’m going through major MAJOR caffeine withdrawals which is to be expected.

My 1 venti Starbucks every day = a six pack of coke

It’s the only caffeine I drink during the day, but lets just say that was probably too much eh???

I have a before picture and maybe if I look good enough at the end of all this I’ll post it.  Maybe not.  I am too embarrassed to show that muffin toppin going on. 

I have a work lunch tomorrow & even though we are going out I requested we go somewhere with a salad bar. 

My biggest issues have always been caffeine and chocolate.  Those are my loves.

Thanks for all your encouraging words and sweetness…..my new job is keeping me busy!  I have a lot to learn & I am a bit overwhelmed….but again….I CAN DO THIS!!!  Amen!
