happiness

I'm bored trying to think of a topic to entertain your minds and all I can think of is making a list of something. hobbies, favorite foods, reasons why I hate making a list. I don't know. Just something, so I just came up wit the idea of happiness, like literally just thought of it!

Its kind of a hard question. What makes you happy? There are so many directions it could go. I'm just going to go however my mind takes me...this should be interesting.

• Food...duh
• Nice patios 
• Sunshine
• My dog
• Nice people
• Making people pretty
• Football
• Shopping
• Family 
• Good times
• Fuzzy blankets 
• Blogging
• Holding hands 
• Watching movies 
• Spa time 
• Good friends

It doesn't take much to keep me happy. Lets be real, foods the only thing on that list that really matters haha 

totally kidding 

bye y'all

You know what to do with the buttons on the side

Moving Day

Moving is the most enjoyable time you will ever have in your life, everybody will do it once in their life. I mean finding things you forgot you had, the kind of things that just bring back memories. Bullshit. Excuse me for my language, but whoever thinks that load of crap clearly needs to be checked into the nearest loony bin!

I recently moved. and it was hell, it still is but as its all coming together and my mind is coming to ease. I'm still in the same city just 15 min away from my old place, when you're moving  that 15 min away seems more like 2 hours away and especially when its a one women show, yes I did have help and I'm more then grateful, but there were plenty times I loaded up my car and took box after box up a flight of stairs and regret it after. I don't know if its how incredibly out of shape I am or the 1000 degree weather we just had to have on that one day

Some tips I  have for people who will be moving..  

*Throw shit away....I have 2 large trash bags of stuff for goodwill...a hoarder i am not!
* Stay away from the grocery....which wasn't a problem for us, we barley went anyways
* Organize your stuff in boxes...throwing stuff in the trunk. FAIL
* Take your clothes off the hangers or you will have clothes all in the parking lot attempting to keep them on
* Don't take your frustration out on the utilities people.. even though the water lady was unnecessarily rude, I mean how am I supposed to know where and what a water valve is.
*Get a place on the 1st floor!! Your body will appreciate you!

Now that I'm getting settled in and finding space for everything I realize its all worth it. we have a nice apartment, and hopefully will be here for a while!!

Shut Your Feelings Down!

So I have some expressing to do, I mean I'm not a "let your feelings out" type of person. Honestly, I let them all build up and come at people like a raging fire, but hey, I can admit that. 

So does that mean I have to fix it? 

I'm normally super laid back and go with the flow, basically a "bro" to all of my guy friends, and I'm absolutely ok with that, and I'm great at giving others advice about their relationship problems, but can't seem to handle my own. Hmmm interesting. 

Why is that? 

I think as humans we deal with problems better if they are someone else's.

 My friends occasionally get the "Shut your feelings down" when they come to me with their problems, but 90% of the time we're intoxicated when that is said. Don't judge. 

Seriously  though, I've been told I think like a dude sometimes, all the time no i''m not offended because i'm aware, the question is why do I think this way. 

 Its example time:

 I say hey! I'm at (insert place here) you should come....if you want.

 OK

 lets take a minute and pull apart that sentence. "IF YOU WANT" here I am giving you options and since I did say that, the guy can choose to accept or decline the invite... basically the ball is in your court. 

The guy comes back with " if you want me there I'll come" umm ok that's not a yes or no answer. At this point I say " well of course I want you here, but its up to you"

 I REFUSE to beg people. 

9 times out of 10 the conversation keeps going back and forth leaving me irritated. I don't get it

 So talking to some of my girlfriends, many of them have said "you think like a dude" 

I mean is that even attractive? 

 or 

is it the guys I talk to have girl like tendencies?

 meh.

 I admit there are things I need to work on with my emotions and feelings and letting people know but the real truth is I just don't get you silly boys.

 bye ya'll

My persistence's sucks

I've come to realize that I cant just stay on one topic. I know that's what blogs are for but, honestly if you've read my other post then you know I have a scattered brain. #sorrynotsorry

whelp, we just had another winter storm yay! us... sarcasm at its finest....its one thing to have constant winter but no! Mother nature hates us and likes it to be almost 70 one day then -7 the next with a possible ice storm. I'm just tired of wearing boots, heavy coats and bon bon hats its getting rather annoying.

moving forward to the future its almost SPRING or maybe we can just skip to summer I'm absolutely fine with that! not only because its blazing hot but because it's almost MAY  which means it's almost my BIRTHDAY!!...(58 days and counting) super excited..if you can't tell!! I just love birthdays here are the reasons why...

1.  Reason to eat cake

2.  Free stuff in the mail 

3. Free desert at a restaurant

4. MORE CAKE 

As you can see I didn't list presents...well I'm to old for them now I mean yea one from here one from there a few birthday cards with NO money in them but hey...I don't care

people who are absolute Debbie downers about birthdays and/or how excited i get about mine can just STOP...I mean were you not loved as a child or? 

I will always and forever be excited about my birthday even when I'm 50! life's to short to be crying about how old you are just be lucky you made it there! serious moment of the day.         

If you have a birthday coming up HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Ill eat a piece for cake for you!

Happy Monday!

make up and what not

Hey guys!! So I'm going to start posting my make-up tips I mean I have nothing else to blog about. (Everyone gasps loudly)

OK, below is a picture of me with all the bells and whistles
 (sorry about the picture,not really professional, but hey being serious is over rated) 
so to the normal eye it looks like I barely  have any make-up on, well your eye is correct!
Everyone is always  telling me they love my make-up (not trying to sound cocky)
and I just want to tell them I don't put to much into it and its really not that much, but with being a cosmetologist I have to appear that I spend a lot of time on it.

 

I use the the basics. which I believe everybody can use a touch of make-up. Yea Yea there's always natural beauty and some people can pull that off. I'm by no means trying to change what people look like just simply enhancing their features! The products I'm about to list anyone can use and its not going to make you look dramatic.

1. Moisturizer  is very important I never put it on until I started getting dry patches on my cheek bones. There are many types you just have to use one for your skin type: dry, oily, or combination. I have combination skin because my pores are medium size all the way around. So the moisturizer that I use is Dead sea salt moisturizing day cream  I love this stuff because just a little can go along way. I actually got this at a kiosk in the mall, but if you Google dead sea salt I'm sure you can find it.

Make-up wise

2. I start with a primer Hard Candy Sheer Envy Skin Perfection Primer  this is supposed to even out your skin tone, but to be honest I don't notice, but it makes my face feel nice. Walmart 8$

3.  liquid foundation  basically just to equal out my uneven skin tone 

#MixedGirlProbs

Yes. I do have freckles that I cover up... at least some of them.

Its CoverGirl 750 Creamy beige. Like I  said I only use this to even my skin tone so I don't put it on all over my face just mostly on my "T" zone area or anywhere I have any blemishes. You can find this at any store that sells makeup and It's not really expensive.

4. Next I do my eyes. Now I don't wear eye shadow everyday, But when I do I apply

  Too Faced Shadow Insurance Primer  it's an Anti-crease primer and it works wonders, But it doesn't really work if you wear cream eye shadow its really difficult to apply with primer on.

As for Eyeliner I've gone back and forth with the pencil, stick, and cream and out of those I like the cream its so easy to apply and you can control your line a lot better. If I do use a pencil then it has to be from sephora. They have the best eyeliner, it doesn't run!!  I use cream as of now, and that's the ELF brand. ELF is so so so cheap. but it's so good! Walmart\Target 3$

5. I have yet to find a great Mascara. I mean I have "good" ones but they're not GREAT I don't have long eyelashes anyways so it's not really noticeable when I do wear it. I have many, but the one I've been using is Blinc Tubing Mascara  it leaves these tubes at the ends of your lashes to make them look longer. So far its done good, but like I said I want GREAT!!

6. On to my favorite, now I don't use any powder base I just use bronzer Too Faced Sun Bunny  I absolutely love this stuff! My only problem is it gets everywhere I'm constantly cleaning my bathroom of bronzer dust, but I don't care. I apply it all over my face but add a little extra to my "T" zone. Its AMAZING

It is a little expensive, but its worth it. you can get it form sephora or ulta 30$ 

7. Next is some lip gloss. I only where gloss cause I like the shiny gloss look.First I use a lip exfoliate because definitely in the winter my lips stay dry, so I always use my exfoliater and either just go with Maybellene Baby Lips or just a normal gloss. 

8. Last but not least I set my make-up with ELF Makeup Mist and Set it has aloe, green tea, cucumber and vitamins A,C and E. It really refreshes my face and keeps my make-up looking vibrant all day. Like I said before ELF products are not expensive and they are really good. Walmart\Target 3$ 

well that's all I got, doesn't take much for me maybe in another post I'll talk about how to tell which skin type you are because it really does help to know so your using the right products.

3 degrees

Hi all.


The title to this post is 3 degrees....because it actually is 3 degrees outside where I live, well we are in the range of 1-3 with a wind chill of -20. Glorious. On top of that it rained/snowed before the temperature dropped down like a bomb hit rocket so basically its like one huge skating rink.

 yay. says no one ever! 

 on top of all this winter wonderland business I'm sick. awl how did I get so lucky. Let me just throw out there that it is very hard to breath when you have ice cold wind coming at your face and your lungs have all sort crap in them...actually you can't even breath at all. Enough complaining. Now to the good stuff. everybody is making New Years resolutions like the typical quit smoking or lose weight...but I don't smoke and honestly I don't want to lose any weight so whats left for me to do?  Instead of just having one thing I was thinking about having random things that I hope to accomplish in the year of 2014.....shocker

1. Cook more (Just because it's number one doesn't mean it's happening first)
2. Save money
3. Eat breakfast daily
4. Go see more movies
5. Wear more lip gloss
6. Learn how to do a cornrole
7. Keep my car clean
8. Paint more
9.  Slow down on the sweets
10. Get over my fears

That's really all I have.
 
Well I'm done I need something sweet.
Go follow me on those things on the right and instagram...I post cool things
