How to tone down bright lipstick

Hey Guys! One of my favorite things about summer is the amazing lipstick shades. I love nudes but it is always fun to change it up with bright shades. I will admit, I am not always wanting the bold pigment on my lips, but I love the shade. I have spent the past year or so trying to figure out a solution. I did everything I possibly could until I found this solution. Before After I...

Wisdom Wednesday

We spend so much of our life trying to be accepted/fit in. Starting in elementary school, middle school, high school and into the workforce. We are always trying to please people, or conform ourselves to who we think they want us to be. We have all been there. I have done it with past relationships, and until a few years ago, my mother. All we end up doing is making ourselves miserable, and...

Strawberry Shortcake Cake pops

Hey Guys! Over the weekend I had a few people over, and one of the items we ate was strawberry shortcake cake pops.

Ingredients Pound cake ( I baked one myself, but you can always buy one) Vanilla Icing 1 lb of...

Scoliosis and being a mom

Hey Guys! About 3 years ago I was told I had scoliosis. A simple diagnosis that answered many questions. I went to the doctor to get my birth control refilled and figured while I was there I should ask about my neck pain that was reoccurring. I remember not being able to stand on my feet for long periods of time, bending over was painful and walking constantly was impossible. My boyfriend...

Wednesday Wisdom

Yaaaasss Hunny! I am not one to get overly religious or political on a public forum, but I read this and couldn't help but think about certain events/times in my life. We have all questioned things in life ( our existence, God, why certain things are happening etc,) and maybe lost our faith or way in life. I remember a few months ago, my boyfriend and I were going through a hard time, where everything...

Gain Fireworks Review

 Hey guys! The past few days I have been sick so excuse the late post. This is going to be about gain fireworks. A few companies have come out with their version of this. I never bothered with any of these, but the past few months we have been trying to stretch our dollar. My boyfriend loves gain, he loves the scent it leaves on his clothes and has Gain everything, detergent, fabric softener...

Why Intermittent Fasting Isn't for me

Hey Guys! I kept hearing about intermittent fasting, from youtubers and the Internet, so I decided to check it out for myself. Like most people, I am trying to loose weight and thought this would be a great solution. It seemed like it would work for my lifestyle, I could still drink liquids, water, coffee with 2 tsp milk and bone broth. I have limited my snacking at night, so I am done eating...

Vaseline Lip care (lip balm)

Hey Guys! Ever since I was a teenager, if I didn't apply a lip product before I went to bed, I would wake up the next morning with chapped, cracked, bleeding lips. Ever since I have been on the hunt for an amazing lip product. About 4 years ago I started using Burts Bee's, and I will admit I fell in love. It was so moisturizing, I didn't think I would ever change my lip product..until 6 months ago. I...

Wisdom wednesday

The past couple of months have been tough for my family. We have had a lot of struggles and challenges. There have been people trying to bring us down, think negatively about us and trying to figure out our next steps in life. There were days when I didn't want to deal with anything, and at times not even get out of bed. I would often wonder, what else could possibly go wrong? Why was all...

Blueberry Muffin Recipe

Hey Guys! As you can tell by the title, this post is a blueberry recipe. I will admit, I am not the biggest blueberry fan, but my boyfriend loves it. When I was younger, i was obsessed with blueberry muffins, I would eat them all the time, to the point, where I am now sick of them! I found this recipe on pinterest, and made these when I had people over one day. They were obsessed with them, they...

How I de-stress

Hey Guys! We all deal with stress in life, and with little one's it can be more challenging. Awhile ago I had an awful migraine due to stress, which lasted for a month. I woke up with my head pounding and went to bed unable to move from the pain. I went to the doctor and was told it was from stress. I let things overpower me, to the point where it interfered with me being a mother. This broke...

Makeup I spluge on

Hey Guys! So as someone who loves makeup, we can all get caught up in the hype of certain department store products. I have been guilty of shelling out money, when the drugstore has a better/just as good product. Everyone always asks me what makeup to splurge on, so I am here to tell you. While it may not seem like a lot that I list, I will tell you my reasoning. Products that I use up often is not...

Wednesday Wisdom

The past two weeks have presented a lot of changes for my family. My boyfriend works night shifts now at a new job, and a lot of things have been hectic and different. I will admit, I cried. I know this will sound silly, but regardless of how our days are, we always went to bed together, and whenever I wake up at night, I roll over and he is there. My night has changed completely....

How to cook basmati rice perfectly

Hey Guys! I grew up eating rice, to be honest, I will find any excuse to eat rice. It is my absolute favorite thing to eat. I must admit, I didn't perfect my 'rice making skills' till September. I make basmati rice, that is always in our house. The only time I buy another brand, is if I can't find a reasonably priced bag of basmati at the store. For my birthday in September, my dad took me to a restaurant,...

Hey Guys! All of us have to drag our little one around on a day full of errands at one point or another. It can be exhausting trying to prevent meltdowns or dealing with them. Luckily I have found some fool proof ways to keep your little one's happy. Food/Drinks I usually know how long we are going to be out for, and I always try to plan the outing after the meal/snack so it gives me...
