Makeup madness... A few of my favorites..

I'm girl and I love makeup. I have spent alot of time experimenting and finding things I love. I wanted to talk about makeup because I was cleaning out my makeup box and WOW I have a ton of stuff.  Here is some of my most favorites and that I think you would like too..

Hope in a jar is an awesome skin moisturizer.  It's lightweight and 99.9% oil free. I have tried so many and this one is my favorite. The only place I have seen it is Sephora. 

OMG! This mascara is WILD!!! It's does not rub off, it's waterproof, or run down your face when you cry. When you apply to your lashes it forms tiny water resistant tubes around the lashes. To remove wash your eyes with warm water and gentle pressure and it just flakes off. No more black smeary mess. I LOVE this stuff. Bonus: It never clumps

This cool tiny razor kit is awesome for those stray eyebrow hairs. I have also used it to trim the length of my eyebrows. I'm sure it would be good for other facial hair.

This is my favorite black eyeliner. Well it only comes in black. hee hee. It is liquid eyeliner and this is the perfect liquid eyeliner for anyone who has issues getting the line right on their eyes. Instead of brush tip, it is a dense sponge tip so it applies nicely.

Blending brush. Nuff said.

It's time for what makes me happy for the week...

Today has been one crazy week with work and my sciatica getting so bad that I was in the ER today. Thank gawd I have my appt with a neurologist on Tuesday. Anyways here is this things that have made me happy this week.

Seriously, this just sweetened with splenda. I am usually skeptical about drink sweetened with splenda because they are all not the best but for some reason it tastes great. Its is only has 2g of sugar and 2 g of carbs per cup. How is awesome is that? Plus the kids love it too. =)

I just discovered this dressing recently and so far it's my favorite. I have been become a huge salad fan and this dressing is my officially my dressing of choice.

Spaghetti squash.... Need I say more. If the kids love it, you know it must be really good. This is most healthy way make spaghetti. It's great without the sauce too. I think I will post some recipes on the different ways I make dinners out of this.. You have to try it

A target must have. Method hand soap, the mint one.. Oohh mmyy this stuff is awesome. I like the way my hands feels after I was them. They feel minty and cool.

Learning how to make jewelry is something that has me super happy. I am super excited to get started and have already picked some super cool beads I was to work with. If you know any tips or cool places to buy supplies besides Michaels please let me know where. I would love to hear about what you know about it

Things that make me smile for the week

Ok.. Before I go further with this posting I first have to give credit where credit is due... My dear friend HolleeAnn who is the best blogger I know does a weekly list of things that make her happy. I think it's cute to share some of your recent favorite things and share with people. Please check out her awesome blog filled with straight creativity and overall awesomeness. www.ourdandelionwishes.com

Ok. I am really love the original green simple green but this line of Simple Green naturals smells more friendly then the original manly smelling one. It has a citrus minty smell and it's not strong but cleans just as good as the original one. I found this at Lowes and I like that it's in a concentrated form because it lasts a long time. I use it all over the house, even on the wood floors and it cleans so good. I might even try washing the kids in it! ;)

Splenda is the best. I have tried many artificial sweeteners but nothing compares to splenda. These mini's are awesome and I keep them in my purse and use them at restaurants and work. One mini has the same amount as a whole packet. Awesome!

These awesome veggie protein packed chicken wings. Only 4 of these tiny boneless buffalo wings has 13g of protein, 110 calories, 0g of cholesterol, less then 1g of sugar, 6g of carbs, and 4g of fiber. These are super delicious and trust me I am a meat lover and these veggie chicken wings ROCK. I found these at Safeway where they keep their tofu. These are awesome especially if you are watching your sugar and carb intake. Good stuff.

First things first.....

Ok. So I have been eager to start blogging but honestly I just have been lazy about getting it started. From seeing other people's blogs I knew I could never be as creative to get my page as cute as theirs. Also blogging seems to take time to be a super good blogger. With college, kids, and a job it was impossible until now, especially since I graduated so it has freed up a lot of my time. Although, I am preparing for my entrance exam for medical school I still have more free time. So be patient with me as I get this whole blog thing going. If you know me I always have something to say and I love to give my "two cents' on anything..
