Poor Excuse for a Post, Tuesday


Literally, with nothing else to write about, this fine Tuesday morning. Last night when I got into bed I thought to myself..."Self, did I have a post scheduled for tomorrow? Oh, sure I did...I'm pretty sure of it. Ok, I can go to sleep now." Well, turns out I didn't have anything written up for this morning. So, this is what I'm going to bless you all with...lol! 
I got my Scentsy order in the mail yesterday AND my Avon order! Eeeek! SOOOOO exciting! Of course I ripped the Scentsy box open as fast as I could and put that thing together like it was nobody's business! cracked open that scentsy bar of Mochadoodle and got that thing heated up! And, oh...it was heaven! I fell in love! Husband didn't quite get the hype. But, I'm totally addicted. Like, seriously, I don't even think that candles smell as good burning. It's just something about this Scentsy stuff that is amazing! Love it!
So, Onto my Avon order. Since you all know that I've got some kind of something going on with my eyes, I can't really wear makeup right now. But, Lord knows I'm not leaving this house without foundation and bronzer. So I used my new Mark Timed for Perfection primer that I got from my cousin Shannon who is an Avon Rep. And, seriously, let me tell you. I need to buy stock in this shiznit! It's BOMB.COM!!!!! I will NEVER be able to go without it..ever again! I'm not sure how I've lived this long doing my makeup without it. I'll post some pics like next week. I can't wear eye makeup right now so girl is going eyeliner and mascara-less right now. And, it ain't pretty. 

So, that's all for now. Thanks for reading my nothingness on this beautiful Tuesday morning!

Tidbit Tuesday

In bullet points. Cuz I think they are cool....(kinda)

  • As you know we got Chloe's 18 month pictures done on Saturday. Our photographer has posted a few sneak peaks on Facebook, and I die a little every time I see a new one. They are THAT adorable.
  • I'm getting another tattoo on my birthday. It's going to represent my life and the fact that I'm adopted, and that no matter what I've been through, I still am who I am. It's going to be done in black ink, cursive writing on the top of my left shoulder. "I am who I am"
  • We are getting SO close to getting this house that we offered on. We're both getting so excited. We're already making plans of what we're going to do to it. Hardwood floors in the kitchen, half bath and laundry room, etc.
  • I having thoughts of when I want to transition Chloe to a toddler bed. I really wanted to do it FOR SURE when we move. But I'd like her to be used to it before the, so that the move wouldn't be such a big deal for her. And because of the fact that I hope we're moved in before our trip to Maine in July...because I don't want to have to take a pack n' play with us, but would just like to be able to move a bed to the wall and use a portable rail...ahh, but I'm just so nervous to change her out of her crib. She sleeps sooo good now, and I worry that a toddler bed would give her so much freedom, that she might start protesting bed time. Any thoughts?
  • Since I've started using MAC eye primer and foundation, I think that once I'm out of my cheapo bronzer, I want to buy some MAC bronzer.
  • We got Water for Elephants from our Blockbuster online thing, and I am REFUSING to watch it until I'm done reading the book on my Kindle....But I haven't had ANY time to read the past few days...Grrr!!
  • A few weeks back, I made a post about how Chloe really wasn't talking that much. Well, now...she won't stop. It's amazing! She's trying to say almost everything we say now. It's just nuts!
  • I placed my very first Scentsy order this past weekend. I'm soooo excited to get it and start using it! Oh good lord...I have a feeling I'll be buying at LEAST another warmer, and I don't think I'll be able to stop buying the Scentsy scents bars!
  • I can't decide if I want to make Chloe's big girl room Pink/Zebra, or if I want to go another route?????? HELP ME! Target has SOOOO many different pink/zebra options, I die a little every time I go in that place! They have rugs, lamps, AND bedding! I'm thinking Pink/White walls, and then all the accent pieces would be Zebra. What do you think?
Alright Loves, I'm done for now. I'd appreciate some feedback on the bullets that I need help on.
Thanks!

Me and my makeup

I've never been the type of girl to spend loads of money on my makeup. I've always just gone to Target and got my normal Neutrogena Skin Clearing foundation, and whatever the cheapest bronzer, Maybelline eye liner...ya know. Just the general, normal everyday stuff. But just recently, I was down to my last few drops of foundation. The past couple of months I've been debating on whether or not I wanted to continue in my $13/every 4 months or so, or $35/for a lot longer then 4 months. A lot of people that I know that use MAC products swear by them. I just recently splurged on MAC eye primer, and I tell you, the stuff is magic!!! I couldn't ask for a better primer! I have very oily skin, and it's tough for my makeup to stay on past...oh...9am! It's redic, I tell you. But this primer seriously is like glue. It's amazing. So I thought, hmm...maybe the MAC foundation is just as good? So I made a trip to my local MAC counter and made the purchase. 
I am by no means a professional when it comes to make up application. But I tend to think that I do a pretty damn good job. I think it looks pretty when I do it all...but most days I just go to work with foundation, bronzer, eyeliner and mascara...I just don't have the time, or patience to make my eyes look all nice for work. Nor, do I really care. I would rather spend my time in the morning with my little girl before I send her to day care. So, here is me taking the time to do some makeup for you. I just want you to see how nicely my new MAC foundation makes my face look. It's freakin' AH-Mazing!! LOVE It!


(I didn't post a pic of my liner because it's so old that the name is rubbed off)

So, there you go...like I said, I'm not professional, but I think my face looks pretty damn good when all is said and done. One of these days I'll do another post when I do my night out makeup. Now that...is FUN to do! I love playing around with makeup!!!
