September....

Can't believe this month has come and will be gone tomorrow..... What an exciting month it was for me. I married the man of my dreams... flew on an airplane to Mexico for our Honeymoon... and got brand new products from Younique! 

It all still feels like a dream! I can't believe I am married and that day actually happened!

I honestly have never felt that beautiful before. I had tried my dress on several times and it was pretty on but the day of the wedding it felt GORGEOUS!

My mom was so awesome to have made everything come together!

My dad and I did a special Father/ Daughter dance to Justin Timberlake's Can't Stop The Feeling song that I choreographed! 

Everyone LOVED it!

Our food for the wedding was a Taco Bar and we had a sign with it saying Love Is SPICY! 

Mexico was beautiful! I was so scared that the food was going to be so different and I wouldn't eat the whole trip but that wasn't the case at all! 

I became a fan of Guacamole!

now the Tacos were different from how we have them. They were not seasoned and it was ground up meat but beef chunks.

Quesadillas were AMAZING!!!

My favorite things about the trip was the food and the king size bed we slept in!

Audrey has become a bit of a Daddy's girl now.... 

Still can't be without me but she is loving on Kris a lot more then normal...

I don't like it much....

But then again it is pretty funny how they both haven't liked each other and now all about one another.

I tried to tell them that one another was cool....

Tomorrow little miss is going to the vet for her check up.

Other then that no big plans for the weekend, just enjoying our life together!

Happy, Healthy, and loving

The Mask of Royalty

Once upon a time in a far away place, there lived a young girl who was treated like a princess by her husband. One day he came home to find his beautiful princess was super excited to have gotten new things in the mail. The princess skipped to her dressing room and there her excitement reached new levels and she quietly walked down the hall and what her husband saw frightened him......

AHHHHHHHHHHH!

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my new love with all of you! Royalty Detoxifying Mask from Younique! 

I used the foundation brush to apply the mask to my face because if you use your fingers the heat from them will activate the mask . Also when using your mask have a dark towel handy. No light colored ones... it will stain...

Not only have I detoxified my face but I also did my arm Pits!

 Why would you detox your arm pits you ask?

Not only will an armpit cleanse/ detox clean out the build-up of toxins on the skin, but it may reduce the volume and odor of your sweat, boost the immune system,  and decrease your cancer risk.

The new mask contains bamboo charcoal, which has been found to absorb toxins, impurities, and harmful substances, leaving the skin pure and radiant. It can also act as a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells, creating a brighter skin tone. Meanwhile, the derivative of vitamin A has been shown to even skin tone, helping to improve skin hydration and texture, thus, giving a full and youthful appearance.

The NEW Younique Royalty Detoxifying Mask  is available for purchase!!! For $49 it is equivalent to 20 masks at ONLY $2.50 each!!

⭐ Sephora - Charcoal Pore Minimizing Mask: $8... it is ONE mask!

⭐ Ulta - Charcoal Clarifying Mask: $7... one mask again!

⭐ The Body Shop - Himalayan Charcoal Mask: $28.. but its .2 oz!! Ours is 1.7oz! 

(And NONE of these are oxygenating! Aka: fizzy, bubbly.. amazing!!)

I had a lot of fun with this as you can tell!

I love the soft, clean feeling the mask left me with! I can't wait to use it again!!! You can use it 2-3 times a week. 

Share your fun with me too!

Audrey and I have work to do!

Like I posted a couple days ago, (Whoa there!) I am wanting to get back into the swing of things of working on myself.... My new Zumba sets have come in.

My Fit Bit is charged and I am ready to go!

I have Weight Watchers app ready as well!

I am pumped!

 Audrey needs some help too. She has put on some pounds as well. Which I feel terrible! Been a bad mom to her. Although the Summer wasn't filled with many sunny weekends to where we could take her to the lake like we did last year. 

She isn't over weight but I just want to help her before things get that way.

Plus if I am moving more she should too!

Walking will be a great thing for the both of us!

Maybe we will go to the outdoor Mall again and walk around. Something different and new adventure 

I also found an Idea to try with her.

You play “find it” at meal time. Toss a piece to the left, then to the right. Go back and forth and the dog gets some exercise running around the room.

Her Vet has suggested to give her dry food for one meal and green beans for the next meal. 

If you have any ideas or treats... Please Comment below and let me know some more things to do.


Any other tips would be greatly appreciated!

Just caused I'm married doesn't mean we stop dating....

We received a Date Jar from the guest at the wedding, But with Fall starting... I find it so easy to think of neat dates to do.


*Drive to the Mountains
* Going to the Pumpkin Patch
* Going Apple Picking
* Breweries/ Winery tours
*Go to a Washington Redskins Game
* Bon Fires
*Halloween Parties
* Ghost Tour

But the again... We have already done those every year... traditions but... need something new...

Need to spice it up a bit... so I went on a search.

Hmm... well when I went looking for date ideas I came across this one!

Good Will Date!  OMG!! Have you heard about this?  Looks like so much fun!

The rules are:

Each person picks out a Surprise outfit for the other person at Good Will
$10 budget
Gender appropriate.
When on the date you can't tell people it's a joke.
when you upload pictures you need to challenge others to have a Good Will date too!

Can You imagine?  Could be the craziest outfits! Would you do it?

 If you do I want to see!

I told my girls about it and they laughed and said they were down so we are going to do a drawing and put our names in.... draw a friend that we get to dress for the day....Meet up dressed in the clothes bought for us from Good Will and have a blast! 

Thinking of going to a winery all fancy and such! 

Although, it's not probably going to be a date with my Husband....  A date with your girls is always a must!!!

Seriously... Life is way too short and If you can't laugh at yourself.... Well then you aren't having enough fun!

I am my favorite comedian!

If you have any date ideas share them with me!

Have an awesome day!

Step back and say WHOA!

Good Morning!! How is everyone?! Hopefully ya'll are all doing SUPER DUPER! 

So I have to admit.... this year my drive for achieving goals is no where near as awesome as it was last year.... I have said so many times I was going to do....and I didn't.

I actually just read some of my motivational posts from last year and I read nothing but excitement and pride with myself. 

I'm not saying I don't like myself .... I do for sure!  

Just disappointed in myself... Plus my body has rolls that are rolling out of shirts i have never had issues with... that's disturbing...

In no way am I on here complaining and saying I am fat... just whoa what happened? 

The fact that I was able to slay the goals last year and this year have no motivation... it floored me... I could lose weight and exercise and be healthy for someone else's wedding but not my own.... Whaaaat?

Crazy...even worse... I have so many more resources too! Gym membership...Fitbit...2 Zumba DVD sets...resistance bands.... ankle weights...Weight Watchers program...

Like seriously!

Now that my wedding is done... I have the urge to get back into the routine. Isn't that silly?

Yet, I want to cook more! Different foods....

So, with all that said.... I guess there's no real reason for a starting point. Any time you can start over and go for it. There's no goal but the goal of doing it for myself.

Reading how good I felt and all the energy I had.... looked and sounds so wonderful.

Now, I think I will go back and read those posts again!

Goals  Motivation  Feel Good Weigh In Wednesdays

I have actually ordered 2 new to me Zumba sets.

Zumba Tone Up DVD Set

&

Zumba Country DVD

I will have those DVDs on Friday... So I think this weekend I will start getting back into doing my Zumba Routines and start wearing my FITBIT again.

Come On 10,000 steps!


Can't wait to share with you all about the DVD sets.

If you have those let me know what you think!

Line your lips.....

I have already shared my lip liner love with you all once.....Lip Liner Blog Post....and then I shared a make up tip using the lip liner as well.... Today I just want to share with you all the colors I have starting with 2 new ones that were just released last week!

The thing that I love about these lip liners is that they are smudge proof.... No they don't last as long as the lip stains but I don't have to worry about them being on my teeth like how my lipstick normally ends up finding a way to look like I tried to eat it.

The first new shade that I have is Peachy! I'm in love! I actually wore this color at my rehearsal dinner for my wedding. I see it being an everyday color and if you wanted to tone it down the Well To Do lipstick is a perfect way to give it some shimmer while toning down the brightness of the color.

Next, Punchy! What a super cute pink color! It's actually a lot duller then I thought it was going to be. I thought more of a "Barbie pink" but it's a nice pink.

Pouty, I have shared before as the nude color lip liner I have gotten from Younique. I like to wear this color with Loveable lip gloss over it.

Primal, Bold Red this is! many of you may have laughed with me over the Make up tip I shared with using this color to help cover the "designer bags" under my eyes.

Perky, HOT PINK! you see these lips coming for you! I loved rocking this color though. It felt good to be bold!

Pompous, I was very hesitant to try this color beings that it is so dark but I feel like it will be one I am going to wear a lot in Fall.

Which color is your favorite? 

The next ones on my list to get are Prudent and Plush....
