Rainbow Hunting

My daughter and I love going rainbow hunting.
I have some pictures, I'll show you below, of a rainbow taken while we were on top of the Butte in Bend, Oregon. It is so beautiful up there! LONG walk but you can also drive.
I don't have many from around here. A rainbow is a rainbow...
But we do like to look at them all and Maizee (my daughter), likes them on her walls in her bedroom.
It's getting to that point in Oregon where its sunny all day but also raining and chilly!?
I know that doesn't make sense but that's what it feels like to me and looks like.
And saying that, lots of rainbows!!
We love going for walks and the weather is finally getting good enough to do that.
Short post today as I have not gotten over my 'allergies' and a stuffed nose to me, gives me a huge headache. I don't like staring at my laptop or my phone or the TV... 

So here is that picture SOOC and in Black and White, cause I like it like that (tongue in cheek)
Have a great rest of your week and weekend!

New changes

I changed my blog a bit. Actually a lot. It looks nothing like it did before and I'm still adjusting!
I wanted a little change and went all out. I do that sometimes. I'm still not sure if it will stay this way.
My blog is very much like an online journal with some random advice, hauls and such thrown in.
Yeah, an online journal :)
I have been super busy for the past month it seems getting ready for the Bikini Series and getting my life organized and goals set. One of my goals it to blog at least twice a month. Aiming for once a week. I want to start organizing my home better and I have some ideas for that. I might write some posts about it. Before and after kind of thing. I have been working on my photography and doing more nail art lol as always.
I will be posting more 'How-To' posts and might be making pictorial videos?!
I need to locate my other camera to see if filming is better on that.
I still have my left hand covered in Gel, and changed the shape of those too, and my right hand is bare. I have been using Burt's Bees cuticle cream and wearing gloves doing dishes. I also leave at least tow coats of something on my nails. No breaks, No chips, and they feel stronger than ever! I have to keep reminding myself to take vitamins. I need to set an alarm or something :)
I have a couple posts in the making, I cannot wait to share them. People still ask me to do certain things, especially concerning my nails, so I wanted to make some tutorials on those. There are tons of them out there, I'm not going to try to be different or anything. 
Just having fun and hope others might learn from it...
I think that's about it for now.
Thank you for reading!

Carefree VoxBox from Influenster

 I was sent Carefree to review...
Carefree makes feminine hygiene products.
Some of the products they offer are; Pads, Liners and Tampons.
The liners I am reviewing are the acti-fresh body shape pantiliners, Regular To Go.
A tiny pack that has 20 liners. 

 Here is a snip from their website....

 Carefree Acti-Fresh Thin liners are designed to deliver freshness, 
thanks to an 8-hour odor control system.
Carefree Act-Fresh Thin liners feel as soft and thin as a panty, so all you feel is confident.


This is what I did and did not like so far..
 ~Small size, perfect for your make up bag or purse.
~Really cute and girly packaging.
~Thin and able to fit into small spaces in my wallet.
~No weird smell that comes with some pads and liners.
~Great/Soft texture that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin!!
~They also have a really good hold, and the liners never moves 
or shifts on my panties throughout the day.

The only thing I was mildly concerned about was the liquid test I put it threw. I put a soaked tea bag on the liner on a tissue paper. It didn't leak through and it held together well. But when I took the bag off the liner and noticed it was rather full (like a pad but these are not meant to be used like a pad, so it's an almost unlikely situation), it felt like a diaper. That squishy feeling...
Although I doubt anyone lets a liner, or pad, get that full of anything... I just wanted to make sure it held. And it did. Just hope I don't ever feel the 'diaper/squishy' feeling when I wear one :)

All in all, I love them. I still do not get my period but I will soon and I like knowing that I'll have these!


So thank you Carefree and Influenster!

Tone It Up #BikiniSeries

So excited!?
I have just signed on for the Bikini Series with TIU!!
I have almost everything all planned out and I am really trying to stick to it this time.
 (It all kicks off April 13th 2015)
Last year, I didn't. We were not in a good environment then. Luckily, we are now!
And back to living by ourselves. 
For me, following a schedule is really hard for some unknown reason. I don't like it and keeping appointments is sometimes a struggle...
I try hard to keep to a plan I make and I don't always make it to the end :/
When I don't, it makes me discouraged and I stop completely. I am a quitter of sorts...
I also need to work on that. I am my biggest critique and loudest voice when it comes to
 "You're not good enough", "You can't do it"...
Needless to say, I have a lot to work on.
 Moving on... I have also decided to go for the #100BySummer miles challenge. It is a part of the #BikiniSeries and #ToneItUp. I think they have this sort of extra challenge for every series the hold.
Such as this years #LoveYourBody challenge.
I will be keeping my stats with my FitBit. Hoping all this rain stops (gotta love Oregon weather), my daughter and I will be going for more walks. I need to talk my husband into getting me an umbrella soon. How we don't have one, I don't know!
I also did some super simple Easter nails and some trial and error Easter nails lol
I'll post them down below. 
That is all for now and thank you for reading. I will post TIU links below as well!





Simple and Cute :)
Not sure yet how I feel about these :)










 (No hate! My "struggles" may not seem real or important to you but they are to me. Thanks)
