Splurge

Hello!

Good morning!

Today I wanted to share some Splurge Cream eye shadow colors with you and let you know that they aren't just an eye shadow you can use them for different things!

Now I was Hesitant to try the Splurge Shadow creams because I thought it would be Cold goop going on my eye lids. It wasn't cold or wet feeling at all dried like a powder... normal eye shadow... It doesn't crease either!

The staying power is amazing just like with all the Younique products!

Amused : Seafoam Blue

Victorious : the perfect nude!

I have seen where fellow Younique Presenters have been using this color to also dull down their lipstick colors too!

Faithful: Mauve Brown

Proud : Dark Brown

Happy: Grey Purple

Now there are new Splurge colors coming out throughout the year.

March: Bittersweet is a light coral pink

April: Grateful is a light brown

May: Unfazed is a grey taupe

June: Jubilant is a dusty rose

July: Unapologetic is a burnt orange

August: Rapturous is an eggplant

Lots of beautiful colors to keep an eye out for!

Which one is your favorite?

If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

Tissues please....

Hey!

Hello!

Good Morning!

 I have recently started binge watching This Is Us and actually I am now all caught up. The show is absolutely amazing.

Now I wanted to watch the show because of Milo Ventimiglia since he was one of my favorite actors/ characters on Gilmore Girls. 

Also Mandy Moore, one of my favorite singers to blare in my car when I started to drive. Plus she is the voice to one of my favorite Disney princesses! Also, the actress of my FAVORITE BOOK, A Walk To Remember, when it became a movie which was terrible compared to the book but she did an awesome job as the character. 

I have to say I have so much respect for both of them as an Actor and Actress with their performances on the show and really all of the actors and actresses. 

I either tear up or really cry each episode from how good of a show it really is.

 I can't say that it hits home but I just find myself feeling for the characters in the show.

The show goes through the everyday struggles we as real people have or know someone that has. Plus I am happy to see that the couple didn't have kids until the dad was 36.

Something I am hearing now everyday, " hurry up have kids... ya'll aren't getting any younger." No we aren't but I also don't like my husband much these days he's been quite annoying because his time and attention has been on a truck and well I am jealous of a truck...

The thought process of about to turn 30 has been one I am struggling with this month. Seeing that they are in their 30's and not having it together makes me feel some hope and relief. I know it's a show and they aren't real people but it's a nice calming effect.

I love how each has their own story and we get to find out why they have that struggle or where that struggle came from.

I can't say that I have a favorite character because each plays such a strong role.

Anyway, I don't think I have cried hard to a TV show since Denny died on Grey's Anatomy... When I refused to watch another episode because it made me cried so hard.

This week's episode of This Is Us, titled Memphis, made me cry that ugly, can't breathe cry.

It was such a beautifully told story and those actors deserve every award for their performance in that episode.

The story was so powerful that I saw a duck today and started crying!

Now this part might be a bit of a spoiler.... I was trying not to spoil it but I can't not mention this one part!

My favorite part or the most touching part to me was William talking about how he had already told the girls good bye with them looking up at him and not down. The whole looking up and not down just something like that and a different look or meaning towards something we may do everyday or at that one moment just made it change and look different to me now.

I never thought of that motion like that and its what I love about this show, It is so eye opening!

I think that was my favorite episode thus far.

What was your favorite part?

Was that your favorite episode?

I hope I didn't spoil the episode for you.... if you hadn't watched it yet.

Remember if it is a nice day... roll down your windows and turn your music up loud and enjoy your ride!

Greens On The Go!

Hey!

Good Morning!

How is everyone!

I gave this IT Works product a try.... So far I am liking it with V8 Mix. (6 points)

Greens On The Go.... It was told to me that it was like having the cleanse every day.... 

I wouldn't really say that... 

I haven't really felt that clean feeling but more like my mind felt different drinking it.

I tried it for a week straight.

I felt like it gave me a little energy... more clear thinking...

I would definitely drink it with juice because  just with water... YUCK!

Tasted like I was drinking chicken Flavored oodles and noodles which was yummy at first and then eww!

I would like to try and keep drinking one of these everyday but I hate that juice is that many points...

Grape Fruit juice I found is 5 points

Found diet cranberry juice is 0 points

Maybe I will try one of those...

I just hate the thought of using up my points for a drink.

If you have any ideas or would like to try the IT Works : Greens On The Go

Cleanse # 2 February Results

Hi!

Hello!

How are you?

How great was Anna's post yesterday?

 Oh my goodness I feel like I need to step up my blogging game!

Who cleaned their make up brushes?

I did and I also finished an It Works cleanse!

Can you believe we are almost 2 months into 2017?

Where has the time gone?

Now I have told you about the cleanse before but here's a little recap....

It's a 2 day process you drink a 4 oz bottle in the morning before breakfast and a 4 oz bottle at night before dinner that you can do once a month!

The drink itself is gross... but by day 2 it isn't that bad. 

Now, I normally don't weigh in until Sunday, but for this I wanted to see how much it took off. 

They suggest you can do this and not work out and eat whatever you want but making healthier choices would help better the results.  

February 20 and 21st

Day 1 

Starting weight

153.30

Weight before going to bed

152.10

Day 2

Starting weight

148.50

Weight before going to bed

142.10

It shows by the name that It Works



If you are interested in getting your own IT Works Cleanser.....

or any other IT Works Products....

 You can Contact my friend  Michelle Lawson from her website 

It Works

She can help you out!

If you do try the cleanser let me know what you think!!!


Of course I will be sharing my Cleanse each month and hopefully next month they won't be in the same number sequence.....

DIY Makeup Brush Cleanser

Hey Everybody!

I'm  Anna from over at A Sparkle Of Grace.

Thanks so much to Ashley for letting me come on her blog! It's my first collab so I am super excited. I probably wouldn't ever have been brave enough to reach out on my own, so this is getting me out of my little bubble and that's always a good thing.

So,  makeup brushes. Makeup brushes are one of those things that everybody loves but nobody likes to clean them, okay pretty much nobody, I actually don't mind. I get a kick out of hearing beauty bloggers complaining about having to wash their makeup brushes, and I'm just sitting on the other side of my computer wondering why it's so unpleasant. To be fair I don't have that many brushes, maybe thirty tops, and I don't use them all regularly.

All that being said, the thing two things that I believe makes this slightly tedious process is the brush egg I picked up last year and the homemade brush cleanser I have been using for the last couple of months.

Today I thought would be fun to share my "recipe" for my makeup brush cleanser.

What You Need:

Liquid Soap(I use Dawn Ultra Free & Gentle)

White Vinegar

Coconut Oil

One 16oz Masson Jar with lid

What To Do:

The directions are super simple, and it takes less than five minutes to make.

Pour the soap into the jar up to the 2 cup mark, then add a 1/4 cup of white vinegar. Melt a tablespoon of coconut oil, add the coconut oil to the jar. If the jar isn't filled to the top you can add a bit more soap. Clean any soap residue off the rim of the jar then place the lid on the jar and make sure it is well sealed. Gently shake the jar the make together all of the ingredients

Voila!

Now some of you may be wondering about the vinegar smell, and while yes there is a little bit of a lingering scent, it wears off by the first or second use of the brush.This mixture usually lasts me about four or five washings, so about a months worth of washings.

Thanks again to Ashley for having me on her blog! It's been a lot of fun, and a great first collab experience. Head over to my blog to check out Ashley's post about her weight loss routine.

Have a fantastic day!

Anna.

<3 Ashley

Do you have a name for your car?

Good Morning!

Hello!

How are you?

The weekend was so BEAUTIFUL here!

Nice days for taking little drives around town with the windows down.....

This may be silly... but it's something I have heard others do...

Name their vehicle...

Do you have a name for yours?

I don't..

My husband now he names his... 

There's been...

Violent Violet

Silver Bullet

RAM

Ol Betsy

Civic

and more but that's all I can think of at the moment.....

I actually helped name his Chevy C10 though...

Quite proud

Plus it got him to shine that smile because he liked it too!

SCORE!

Now this truck... I can't get made at him but so much for spending all his time and thoughts...with this truck...

I did kinda ask for it...

I wanted an old truck to ride in when we go to Sunday breakfast and go for rides with Audrey.

Somehow it turned into an experiment on how to get it faster...

And I don't think Audrey is going to be allowed in it.

Now back to the name.... What would you name this "beauty?"

After hearing all the talk on how fast it's going to be and how crazy it's going to sound....

A song came to mind...

Black Betty by Ram Jam

Whoa Black Betty...... Whoa Black Betty...

PERFECT NAME!

Black Betty!

Friends have even been told her name.......

I must have done really good!

Share with me the names of your cars or trucks!

Hope this helped give you all a little laugh or smile for your Monday!

Hey!

Good Morning!

Hello!

Happy National Pizza Day!!!!

In honor of this wonderful holiday....

I wanted to share with you all my SUPER...FUN... Sleepover!

So I may have created a monster.... My niece is now in LOVE with Lularoe leggings.... Which ones of us has more? Ha well we may have close to the same amount that is how crazy she is over them!

We normally get pizza together... ate pizza with Santa.... we are just some pizza lovers!

So bad that she is now saving coupons that come in the mail for us!

She's so funny!

Well, with that said.... I got her a pair of pizza leggings and I have a matching pair so... She wanted to do a pigtails and pizza slumber party!!!

 Kris wanted to join in on the fun.....for the movie viewing of Trolls!

Don't worry.... He doesn't have pizza leggings!!! 

We tried to put his hair in pig tails but he growled at us!

We of course ate pizza and  baked cookies for the movie!!!

We had so much fun laying on our new air mattress! It was so comfy!

Audrey Loved it!

During the movies we all cuddled then at bed time... we said no boys allowed! 

So are you going to celebrate National Pizza Day?

I think I am with a salad and then a slice of pizza!

What's your favorite toppings on pizza?

Mine is Pepperoni and Italian sausage!

My niece is starting to put pepper on hers....

Strange... she didn't get that from me....

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy your Pizza!
