One more school week until spring break. My daughter is super excited about it and she is only in Kindergarten...
Still working on my moms cardigan but I took a break and need to get back to it! I have a couple pattern books coming and I'll start working and some more projects after this cardigan. It's the purling... gets me every time. I've always been a slow purl-er!
Nails are still holding strong. I still have the same design but I broke off the flower pretty quickly. It kept snagging.
House hunting is going good. We looked at a really good one on Sunday and my hubby really wants it. Praying this is the one! Been going to the gym more and liking the stationary bike a lot. I think we will get bikes this summer and take our girl out, get some sun and have a great time!! Not much else is going on at the moment. Pretty boring but I love it. We're doing good and I hope you all are as well!! Have a great day!!

Chapstick 100% Natural Lip Butters

I received some chapsticks not too long ago and figured they would be the same as they usually are. I love using them and I usually carry one with me at all times.

This time, I got three. And all different.

Sweet Papaya

Green Tea Mint

and Pink Grapefruit.

While I immediately opened the Green Tea Mint, my daughter wanted the Pink Grapefruit. She is 4 after all and it said Pink... I loved them!! The grapefruit was very citrus-y and would be perfect for summer. The Sweet Papaya was next and had a nice, warm scent to it. I love it for fall. I use the Green Tea Mint all the time and it smells amazing. I was expecting it to smell too strongly of int, as they per usual. But this on didn't. And the Green Tea scent was there as ell. It is one of my favorite. I gave the Papaya to my mother in law and my daughter kept the Grapefruit.

All in all, we were all happy with them? Yes.

Would I buy them? Yes.

Are they Moisturizing? Yes.

Do they last all day? No.

Do they come off with wear? Yes.

How often did I reapply in one day? About 4 times.

I say they are worth a try.

Thank you!

I received these free from Influenster for testing purposes and all opinions are my own.

Getting back into a routine?!

As everyone who has ever met me knows, I do not do routines or schedules well. I don't stick to them and all my habits are bad ones. I pick at my nails and bite them. I start new projects before finishing the previous one. So on and so forth... The list goes on. I am going to find some self help kind of books for it. I need to stick to something. I really do try!
I want to continue with my photography for sure, I will not give that up. But there is another project I want to start. I want to start my own online store for selling my crochet and knitted items I make. I don't want to start until I'm done making some example pieces and finishing my Christmas presents for our family. I want to give them their gifts early, so they can use them for winter. That will give me time to make some winter projects and start my inventory. I want to focus on winter accessories and baby items. Mainly blankets, hats, scarfs, gloves, etc... I also want to offer different materials foe the same items.
Some blankets made from wool yarn and some made with acrylic yarn. That kind of thing. When we move into our own house and have some more land, I want to go back to having some animals. Some of which I want is Sheep. You probably guessed it, to make my own yarn. I have always loved making things. And making people happy. Whether that's taking family photos to treasure or making a family tree blanket to hang on their walls for years!
I plan to start selling in December or January. I'm going into this with my head on straight (ish) and a really good attitude and outlook. May sound naive but who said being optimistic was a bad thing?!?
Hope your week goes swell. Keep on smiling!!

JingleVoxBox from Influenster. A Small Reveiw.

Late posting this but not too much.

I didn't get the box in time for Christmas but it's okay. I still got to enjoy the products and will continue to enjoy them. A lot of what I got I am still using. I will jump in and show and tell what I received. Remember, I received these products free from Influenster for testing review purposes and all opinions are my own. Thank you.

Lets get to it!

First, when I opened the box I saw a cute stuffed toy.

It was Rapunzel from Tangled and from Hallmark. They are called Itty Bittys and are so cute!! My daughter loves the one I got and would have been really excited to find it in her stocking, had I gotten it in time. She was still stoked though, so win win!

Not a lot to review on this one for me. Great quality item for sure. Adorable! She wants more. I wish there was a closer Hallmark to me, but there isn't. We used to live in walking distance to one in Bend, if they had them there, I would have bought them all. You should go check them out for yourself.

I will leave their info below, as well as all the products mentioned in this post.

Next, COOKIES lol

I got three packs of the most Delicious little snack cookies from Briscoff.

They tasted so good. Everyone loves them, I had to fight to keep one for testing and a picture or two.

Needless to say, we bought more... They are small and great for on the go snacks as well as a little treat after a long day. I love enjoying mine with a warm cup of tea and just relax.

Definitely go check these out. They are not too sweet but they do have a taste. Not like most, where its like crackers or dry cookies. These are really good. We think so at least ♥

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

I already have a review on this one. That went up when I got the box. I was very impressed with it and wrote a review early but still love the product and still use it. I will link that as well as where to find it.

KISS Lash Adhesive and Lashes

The glue I got, I really like. It lasts awhile for me, but I'm at home or running errands. I have not worn them out to a party or for a long night, if you buy them and do, I would love to know how well they last. The glue is Latex free, Formaldehyde free and with Aloe. It dries clear. I really do love this lash glue. It works for me!

The lashes I got are a bit extreme for me though. I still love them but I reserve them for special occasions or a party. I wear glasses and big lashes bother me sometimes because they can touch my lens and it feels weird to me. The ones I got are Posh. They are a bit thicker than my normal ones and longer. Glamorous is the word I'm looking for lol

They aren't 'heavy' feeling to me but like I said I haven't really worn them that much for a very long time. I have been looking at other to purchase, namely Chic or Ritz!

They look a little more natural for me.

Ice nail polish in French Kiss

This is such a beautiful blue polish! Its opaque in two thin coats. A very smooth creme. I thinks its going to be perfect for my 4th of July nails. It's just the right shade. Love the formula. Cannot say enough good things about this polish. It's that good. And the price is amazing. The only downfall, I have not been able to find it in a store near me and everywhere I look online doesn't have it... :/

I don't know if I got the wrong name printed on it or what?! I will keep looking though.

NYC City Proof 24hr Waterproof eyeliner pencil

In the shade 931 Black.

SUPER creamy and easy to apply. I use it in my water line and love it. I can never get a good tight line because my eyes water too much and it smears and eventually fades from top and bottom lash lines. But this really did stay put and last for hours! Not 24, I wiped it off but it was difficult to remove as well. I will be buying more of this! The price is amazing and the only drugstore liner that has worked for me. SO HAPPY I got this. It is now a staple of mine ♥

And last but not least...

Ore-Ida Tator Tots

I got a coupon for a bag of them. I already liked and ate these before, so nothing new. They are still really good and now they have a ton of recipes to try with them! Not too expensive, we don't eat a lot of tots around here. There is some cheaper and just as good tots to buy. I don't get over excited about these but food is food for us. Yes, I love to cook 'gormat' and try new things but I also love tot casserole and make it all the time. Not being snobbish here... We don't always have the money or room for a big bag of tots in the freezer... Thank you. We all do enjoy these and buy them from time to time. The recipes sound amazing and we will be trying a few!

More Nails?!?

Yes, more nails. Just catching up a little. I have a ton of things I want to do for Christmas that I will be starting soon. I plan to do at least one a day.

And I want to start uploading my photos as well. I still have anxiety about posting those...

I know, I'm weird!!

Well here you go. Thanks for visiting.

Not my finest :/

Right before I used Gel again!

Natural nails are good too

I wore my nails all natural for two months. Mostly out of laziness and I was running your of gel.

Seemed liked a good time to go natural and still paint them of course ♥

Here are some from August. I really should remember to post these...

Here you do :)

Thanks for visiting!

The start of Dark Polish ♥♥

4th of July 2015 / 4 Year Anniversary

This year was one of the best 4th of July we have had in a very long time!

We went out to our friends house and had a great day in the river and sun.

A mush needed break and weekend! We all had so much fun. Even though I burned so bad.

It's been 4 days and I can just now move with minimal pain in my shoulders and legs.

I am very fair and thought I had enough sunscreen on, apparently I didn't and now I'm paying for that. Please always wear sunscreen!! ♥

Our daughter had a terrific time and she got to float the river in a inflatable cooler :)

Still makes me laugh thinking about it. She luckily did not burn but has a slight tan in her arms now.

I did end up doing my nails for the occasion. Several times until I ended up with very simple nails and I loved them.

I will show them down below.

I will also make a post on some summer nails I have done so far and I need to remember to blog more. Still... :/ What can I do?!?

I didn't end up taking a lot of pictures, we were just having fun for the weekend. I did take some and our friend took some. I don't know if I'll post any of those yet. We didn't watch the local fireworks show. It wasn't very good and didn't last long. I will be taking some pictures of the fair and the fireworks show this weekend! And the county fair and rodeo is also coming up, which we plan to go see. There isn't mush going on otherwise.

We're just staying cool in the heat. Going to the park and water for some fun and rest.

General summer activities ♫ ♪ ♥

For now, I think we are just enjoying our time together and the weather. It's been a strange feeling for me. Not doing anything but loving our own company and not bothering with people we don't want to be around. We're keeping drama out of our lives and the people who bring it.

We are staying positive and moving forward. I like it.

I'll now be able to go back to working out more than my legs. I never really realized how important my shoulders were to my range of motion...

I know, I'm weird. Anywho, that is all for now and I'll be back soon with some more nail art and possibly lots of pictures. I stopped posting those for a while, mainly due to lack of confidence and drive. But I don't give a hoot what people say about me or my photos. ♥

Goodbye for now

My first set. Loved them! The blue paint stained so bad..

And I did my Daughters too!!

Second set. I really liked them but the red would bleed so bad.

So I redid them and kept them white with glitter.

And my Cinderella nails (right hand) were left simple too.

Products on nails used are:

First Mani- Red, White and Blue Acrylic Paint

Stars are stamped with BM-H25 stamping plate from Bundle Monster

White Polish: Pure Ice Super Star

Last Mani- Same red and blue from above and same glitter topper.

I stamped the star burst with Sally Hansen White On and

Bundle Monster BM-H14 from the collection above.

My daghters nails were all done in acrylic paints and a top coat.

And yes, I know I need a fill. I'll do it soon!!

Olay Pro-X Microdermabrasion + Advanced Cleansing System, 4 pc

I have been wanting to get a Clarisonic for some time now. I really wanted to see if it would help my skin. I have really dry skin and I can break out with a few 'face demons' every now and then. I don't have acne prone skin. It's mainly during that time of the month or when I'm really stressed out.

Which does seem to be all the time now a days. (Catch my Bunny reference up there?!? wink wink)

And when I work out, cause I'm so big and go hard, I sweat A LOT!! (Eww lol)

Anywho, I did a ton of research. Read a ton of reviews, watch a bunch of videos...

The main reason I was hesitant to buy one was the price and not knowing if it would help me.

I have super sensitive skin and the say using brush heads like the Clarisonic can make your skin even more sensitive, especially in the sun.

So after 2 whole days of looking at my phone and computer, I found something I think will help and at a fraction of the price I was going to spend!

The Olay Pro-X System!!

The Clarisonic Mia and Mia 2 are $99 and $149 and they both come with a sensitive brush head and their chargers. They come in various colors and the Mia 2 has 2 speeds and buzzes when you need to move on to the next part of your face. That's about the only differences.

The Pro-X I got was from Wal-Mart and I paid just under $30...

HUGE difference in money, I know.

"Well, you get what you pay for... Don't expect much..."

Actually for said $30 I got the system with 3 speeds, 2 brush heads, 2 sample cleansers and 2 AA batteries.

The only bummer thing is that it does run on batteries but it's not that big of a deal to me.

I have been using it every day at night and my skin was so soft after one use. The extra dry bits around and on my nose, where it flakes a lot, are almost non visible.

I can still see them because I know what I'm looking for. No flakes. No big spots. And the redness I would get from it being irritated is gone too.

I also have a couple more bumps and zits? since using the first day. They said that was normal. I'm not sure. I do know that it is that time of the month (lol) but I'm going to keep using the system and the cleansers it came with for the next month and see what my skin looks like then. And how it feels to me. Also, I plan on buying the Olay Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive skin after I run out of the Pro-X Renewal Facial Cleanser that came in the pack.

It's about $5 at Ulta and Wal-Mart.

I'll post a picture of the product and a link to where I got it. I will also link the cleansers as well. They are only 1oz samples and a tad spendy to repurchase.

I will be posting a before and after picture and review in 1 month. We shall see :) ♥

Thank you for reading.

Valentines Day Nail Struggle

So for Valentines Day, I wanted to do something very cute and girly with my nails.

Even though we won't be going out, I wanted to do it for myself.

But then I had to come up with a cute but simple design...

It's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

I did a couple simple ones and had my daughter help me on others. She loves picking out the colors. We also did her nails and eventually I did end up doing one I really liked.

I will list the the colors I used below all the pictures.

Here are some of my attempts at my own Valentines Day Nails:
