product review:

I have some serious dark under eye cirles. I'd love to say I've tried it all but I havent, I ushally just find something and stick to what works.

Recently I've been useing the Garnier skin brightner with a combinations of the maybeline dark cicles eraser and I could not be more pleasewith the results. And it comes in at great drug store prices!

I have so many thing I need to cover but I think I'm going
to break them into a few different posts, I was going to start out with a post
on relationships but after today I'm thinking I’ll go with a post about friends
or lack thereof.
I'm just a regular girl wanting regular friends, turns out
this is just not going to happen for me. When I started at hair school I had a
Small class and we instantly became friends, we would go to lunch all the time,
hang out outside of school we just really got along well. I thought oh I'm good
now I have a couple close friends that is all I really need anyway. when we
were done with school, we ended up going our own ways but me and one of the
girls stayed very close we hung out all the time she was there for me in all
the up and downs of the last three years. This past summer we had some sort of
falling out and poof she was gone, really never to hear from her again. I still
miss her all the time she was my very best friend in all the world.
After losing my best friend I clearly needed someone I could
hang with and talk to when things came up. A little over a year ago when I
started at Dunhill Tuxedoes there was a girls working there that I went to high
school with. We definitely did not click at friend but over time she was my go
to gal. After what happened today (a different post) I feel like I’ve wasted my
time with her I could never trust her again, she completely stabbed me in my
back just to get ahead. She had no one’s feeling at thought but her own (and if
she reads this as I hope she will.....you suck and karmas a
beeeooootttccchhhh!)
now that I have this post all written I feel better, but
after re reading it I see I’ve missed some very important frands.
Ashley is my very best friends in all the world! She really
is the one friends I’ve always been able to count on through thick and then. We’ve
defiantly had our up and downs in our own friendship but she’s a wonderful
friends and I know she’s always going to be there for me, everyone should have
a friends like her!! (But please don't steal her from me) also I have a good
man friend (oh but that's a whole different story)
Over all after lessons learns with friends all you really
need is one good friend, it’s not about quantity it’s all about quality. And
really who wants a whole bunch of junky friends when you can have one or a few
fabulous friends!!

p.s. I got a new job! Stay tuned for more on that tomorrow :)

"If I Ran for President"...

First things first, can you only imagine what the world would be like if ran for prezzy?? I'm not so sure I'd live in the US of A anymore if I were you but that's neither here nor there...

Ok let's get started, shall we?!

1. Work weeks would only be 4 days long. Max.

Saturday, Sunday and MONDAY would be the new "weekend" because let's face it...no one likes Mondays.

2. Nationwide nap-time for everyone at 3pm.

Students, employees, presidents, CEOs, stay-at-home-moms.

At 3pm, you lay that head down and you like it.

3. Every company would instill an X% raise each year for their employees.

Need I say more? Of course, things like bringing your boss coffee and picking up lunch for her every once in a while would increase this little percentage but to each his own.

4. Fried foods...nixxed.

Heart disease is THE #1 killer IN THE WORLD. Do you know what causes it????

French fries, fried pickles, chicken nuggets, chips...yes...FRIED foods.
No more.

5. And while we're out it...sugar too.

Diabetes is right there behind heart disease. Not to mention...sugar causes inflammation in the body. Inflammation in the body causes cancer. Cancer feeds on sugar. Vicious cycle, I tell ya.

6. Cigarettes = outlawed.

Nicotine & tobacco companies would be shut down completely.
Can you imagine how many lives would be saved by the one simple movement?

7. The Bachelor would air year-round.

Twice a year is not enough. Surely there are enough crazies out there to make this happen. C'mon ABC...you know how much more money that'd bring in.

8. No driving for Asians. Period.

I love me some Asians and have a few Asian friends

of my very own but lord knows they should NOT be on the road.

Drunk or sober.

9. Insurance covers vitamins...not just drugs.
In my honest opinion, I think insurance should also cover all hair appointments...cut and color. I mean-this is what keeps me sane. It's like an anti-depressant...but not.

10. Men would carry babies.
Okay. So this might be super awkward but I'm all for it. Let's let them be fat for 9 months and see how they deal with it? Morning sickness, swollen ankles, buttons popping...take THAT, guys.

11. Each person is forced to have maid service at least twice a month.

Clean houses = happy people.

Happy people = healthy people.

Healthy people = healthy country.

Healthy country = happy country.

12. Men are required to deal with any and all car problems.

From oil changes and tire rotations, to flat tires and blown engines.

Cars were not made for women to fix and therefore, women taking their car in for a simple oil change would be unheard of.

13. All nail salons would supply their customers with complimentary booze.

No explanation necessary.

Let's talk make-up shall we?!

This is my daily make up routine for a regular day.

-I start was clean skin and apply the Aveeno positively radiant face moisturizer.

-I then apply Smashbox photo finish primer for a very smooth base.
-Next I use boi-ing concealer to hide dark circles and any imperfections, this works amazing!

-Next i go into my foundation,blush and mineral vail. I use all the bare minerals and this is what works best for my skin and it stays all day because its a mineral base instead of a liquid.

I use medium beige foundation year round, in the summer ill use some warmth. After foundation I use the blush and then the mineral vail so i don't have clown cheeks.

-THE NAKED PALLET!! i love this pallet more then any eye shadow I've ever had.(thanks mom) With this pallet I can do any eye look. I also use the black eye shadow to do my eyeliner with, its a little softer then using a pencil or liquid liner.

-Last I finish with mascara, I always curl my lashes and either use Smashbox hyperlash mascara or Rimmel lush lashes. (or something like that)

So here you have what I use on a daily bases, it may seem like a lot but it really only take me about ten minutes to have my face all done.

This is a look at the finished look. (I'm on the right)

I'm loving that... this gem of a guy makes me one happy gal!

I'm loving that...this book is super fantastic and all should read it!

I'm loving that...I have one pretty incredible family. :)

I'm loving that...in 13 days I will be in Colorado with this crazy beautiful lady and her family!!!

I'm Loving that...I found these pretty awesome phrases on pinterest that will help me get through the rest of this week.

I'm loving that...I've been getting up early to go to the gym before work, and it feel great!

What are you loving today?
