February Favorites

                                                           February Favorites

This past month has been terrible with the amount of snow this great state of Maine has gotten.  February is a great month, my mother’s birthday is in February, Spring is fast approaching and the days start getting longer. However this month brought over 50 inches of snow for us so needless to say I have found myself home A LOT! Which means I just played with some great products.

First and foremost will have to mention my Becca highlighter in Moonstone, this is the best highlighter I have ever used! It gives a great glow without making me look like I have glitter all over my face. This highlighter is also great for any skin tone! It costs a pretty penny however it is well worth it and will last FOREVER!

I also have loved my Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour kit. I got the powder kit about two weeks before the cream contour kit came out and I am kinda kicking myself in the butt! Time to save! A good more affordable contour palette is the one from BH cosmetics I paid about 11 dollars with BH compared to the 40 bucks my lover shelled out for the Anastasias one. Not to mention the BH palette has about 4x the amount of product.

Next will have to be this big ass teddy bear I got for Valentine’s Day! It is so BIG and FLUFFY. I love to cuddle this thing…who needs man when you have this!

Now for this AMAZING MK watch I got as a gift from someone. I am INLOVE with this watch! I am also loving rose gold. I do not like gold on my skin and mostly stick to silver but rose gold looks great and I love the way it pairs with spring colors!

I also have loved these Redcherry Lashes! They are so comfortable and I love the drama that they bring to looks. I normally do not wear lashes on the regular but for someone who does not wear them often these are GREAT! You can also get a great deal on Amazon.


Have a happy Spring!

Thrift shopping

Thrift shopping can be the best and worst shopping experience in your life. You either find cool, trendy, unique and vintage pieces or you end up wasting your time shifting through clothes. I personally enjoy what I call the "hunt". Yes, while thrift shopping I feel like I am hunting for a rare animal! I always went to second hand stores as a child not because I wanted to but because my mom couldn't always afford new clothing. However it taught me that I could be dressed just as cool if not cooler than those who blew hundreds of dollars at the mall. Once I became an adult I went from going to Goodwill to going into second hand stores that sold higher end clothing. The method of finding perfect pieces was the same... I will forever be the huntress! Here are some key things to think about and do before you go on your thrift hunt. 1. See what you got!     Shop your own closet first. Do you have things that you never wear anymore? maybe to big or to small? If its in season...

Building your makeup collection

Many of us see all these fabulous woman on YouTube with these HUGE makeup collections. These woman seem to have every color of lipstick out there and piles of stuff. Let's be real, it takes YEARS! to get that much crap and most of us do not need that much stuff, however us girls need options! First of all I would get your everyday makeup foundation, brows, favorite blush, mascara and a nice lip color or gloss, concealer, these really are the "backbone" and core of your makeup collection. You also do not need to spend an arm and a leg on makeup product to have a great look. If you watch any Youtube or are Instagram many of the looks are created using some drug store products. Also price is not everything. I have spent a pretty penny on some items only to discover that some fora fraction of the cost works even better. So here are my tips for building your makeup collection. 1. Find out what kind of skin you have. Are you Oily, Dry or a combo. I have some parts of me that ...

Failing at weightloss

Hello ALL!       I am posting this a little late because I had set a goal to be 200 pounds or less by the end of the month. I FAILED, not only did a fail but I gained a pound. At first I was getting down on myself, and I wanted to give up...it was in that moment while I was eating some cookies with frosting that I realized I did not really TRY. I did go to the gym a few times and I was doing ok. However late at night I would get into the candy and sweets.So instead of giving up I made a promise with myself. I want and need to be healthy for my children but mostly myself. I want to feel better. I need to feel better. I often eat out of boredom or when I am said. So my goal for May is to be down to 190 pounds, which I think is alot considering I failed my April goal. So I decided I wanted to just be under 200 pounds. I plan on taking the following steps to subside my endless nightly eating I tend to do. 1. I have made a list of things "to do" when I am feeling like eatin...
