My GO-TO Eyelashes!

These are my favorite eyelashes!  When I started applying eyelashes I did it on my own.  I didn't have any advice, recommendations, thoughts or suggestions.  I just went to Wal-Mart, picked out my favorite and I have been wearing the same exact style ever since. I do wear different eyelashes occasionally but I always have these in stock. 

I would also like to point out that this is not the only brand, and I am not bias to one brand.  Salon Perfect is available at Wal-Mart and other drug stores.  MAC #7 is also this EXACT same style but I have to travel a little longer just to get them.   

Here are a few pics of me with these exact eyelashes...........

 

These lashes are not heavy or thick.  A lot of people think they are individual lashes because of the large space between each bundle of hair.  These lashes open up my eyes and give me some edge. I LOVE THEM. 

 

Here's to the art of fake eyelashes!! :-)

NEW YEAR 2013......GLOWING FRESHNESS!!!!!

I just want to say a little summin summin about my mind set for the New Year of 2013.  I am sooooooo ready for a motivational change!!! POSITIVE thoughts only......NEGATIVITY makes my skin crawl!!!! I will find a way to "fix it" by separating myself, getting inside my own thoughts and emotional journey.  I will choose my battles very wisely because I cannot waste my precious time on a blank journey.  Although I know I will have many obstacles to overcome because it is a part of life's many lessons, I will do my best not to let them rule me!!  My prayer, my journal, my family, my friends, and by golly learning from my demons will get me through!! ha ha  BAM (Nene Leaks)!!!  SERIOUSLY WITH ALL MY HEART, I WISH EVERYONE THE BEST!!!!!!! PUSH THROUGH!!!! WE ARE MADE FOR THIS!!!! THE PEOPLE!!!GOD IS GOOD!!!!

Ribbon Roller Set!

Time to pack up the Christmas decor and do it all over again!! ;-)  I am ready to get my house clean and fresh so this is probably the first year I started cleaning up the Christmas paraphernalia on new years.  haha 

Just like you would roll up your hair, you would do the same with the ribbons.  Safety pin the ribbons together.  Secure it with a bobby pin and 11 months later you have the perfect curled ribbons!! 

 

 

If you like to "susie curl" ribbon decorations and plan on repeating the same thing next year, this is a brilliant idea.

 

 

I have done this for the last couple of years and it is a must!!!

Good Luck packing up!!!!

Here's to curly ribbon!

Favorite Christmas Decor

ALLLL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IISSS YYYOOOUUUUU--UUUU... YOUUUUU- U- U BAYBA (In my Mariah Carey voice, because I sound just like her). Don't even say it because I know it's true! ;-)

I want to share some materialistic things that make me smile around the Christmas holidays that I can wake up too and see in my own home. 

Of course I love the TREE........ this year Laylah is older and helped out a lot. First I let her and Scarlett decorate it while I was cooking one night and all the ornaments ended up in the bottom front part of the tree :-) (wish I took a pic) I really like to decorate Christmas in winter white golds, silvers, hints of red and green. My fiance insist we keep the tradition alive with allllllll the colors so I always have to settle for the different colored lights. :-( but it still looks beautiful. :-)

Then we have the one and only Mariah Carey Merry Christmas CD, the one from the 90's, not her newest although I enjoy that one as well.  I know I can download it to my phone, listen to it from the net, my computer, lap top, satellite radio, ITunes, Pandora or whatever but there is nothing like having the CD! :-) Mariah Carey is a MUST at Christmas!!

 



Next we have my growing Christmas town.  I have always admired these things since I was a little girl.  So when they were discounted in my face at Big Lots a couple years ago I had to have them.  The house and toy store no longer light up because of corrosion on the battery thingy (I'm sure there is some way to get it off but guess I don't feel like it at the moment?)  The big church is my staple piece!  If I was someone in the town I'd be Ice skating!!!......

 

 

Here are some very special traditional ornaments that I will keep forever! They represent my children and my mother still puts ours on her tree as well (Last I checked). The bassinet stroller is Scarlett's and the picture is Laylah.  Although They are both cracked do to a certain 4 year old I will try my best to keep them alive!! I do wish Scarlett had a pic, but its never to late so I just might do that!  And if I have to keep a traditional ball it's gonna sparkle. ;-)

Last but not least my dog's Santa outfit.  hahahahaha she's 5 now so I'd say it's her 4th year wearing it.  Can't keep the hat on her but I always manage to get a picture in. :-)

 

 

 

That pretty much sums up my favorite decor in my home!....Oh yea and the mistletoe....duhh!! haha

 

What are some of your favorite things?

 

Hope everyone has wonderful Christmas celebrations and don't for get to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!!!!!!

 

Hugs and Kisses!!
