Bad Girl Post

WARNING----This is a bad girl post, ie- something I bought, most likely MAKEUP!

Sooo some time last week I was on a makeup forum (surprise!) and someone mentioned My Pretty Pink Sample Bag . They have two sizes and each month they rotate the "samples" you can try. I went with the three piece bag, $6.50 including shipping. I choose the NYX falsies, Revlon Runway collection nails and samples of Eyeko cream in original and tinted. Oddly enough it came in a pretty purple bag, but hey minor technicality...the only things that are samples are the eyeko creams, but you get two. The nails and eyelashes are obviously full sized.

I've not had the chance to try out the false eyelashes or nails (cause I just did mine yesterday) but I did try out the tinted and original eyeko cream and OH MY GOODNESS! I am in looooove, the original cream is colored a lot like a mac pigment I have called vanilla and it will be my go to for highlighting! After I'm done with the 5 gram sample jar I think I will be getting the mondo sized one straight from Eyeko!

Weekend Rewind

So at some point yesterday while everyone else was napping I decided that I did in fact want to see Julie and Julia in the theaters, it had been since May that I had been to the cinema. It was so cute, I was hungry and wanted to cook right afterwards. Mom went with me, I saved Brent the agony of going with me as he wasn't realllly interested.

This past weekend we met with Jan for brunch, thanks again for coming over to see us! It had been quite a while since we had last seen her, like February on my birthday. After a little Peep we made our way to the infamous CoCo Mero, it is sooo good. I decided on some mango, pomegranate, and blueberry frozen yogurt with strawberries, kiwi and M&Ms!

On Saturday we headed over to Danville for a little party at Ryan and Heather's house. They had rented a bounce house and invited a bunch of kids for a rockin' party. Makenna had a great time and for the rest of the day talked about the fun time she had playing with Keely.

I've included some pictures, the rest of them I WILL upload tomorrow on the desktop while I am working out! Lord knows it will take forever!

I've been a baaaad girl...

Today I placed an order with Silk Naturals , I've seen them before and thennnn someone sent me a sample in the mail during a swap and I decided I really wanted to try some more of the stuff they have. The sample I had, I used it all, I threw it in my foundation and loved it.

Right now if you spend $10 before shipping they will send you a surprise eyeshadow. If you are a new customer use the code "friend" to get 5% off your order. They have really cheap samples and they had a stippling brush I wanted sooo I ordered. They also have dupes of some mac, nars, benefit, and be stuff so I ended up buying four samples of some dupes. Three cream liner samples, and some gel liner to use with pigments...and shipping was only $2.25.

I'll let you know how I like everything! Bwah hahahhaha...

Earlier this week I also ordered some samples of eyeko cream in original and tinted, very excited!

Whoot Whoot

We finished the laundry station this past weekend and I am in heaven! Totally worth the effort and the expense. I've folded a load already this morning and the washer and dryer is running as we speak!

Moving right along...

So we've been working on the upstairs laundry room a little bit each night this week. It's mostly done and I'll be excited when it is finished as I won't have to lug baskets down two flights of stairs and across the house! The washing machine could be hooked up today, but the dryer has a couple of things left to complete before we are ready to hook it up. We should have them hooked up this weekend!

At some point after we finish we'll blow some insulation on to the ceiling of the closet room from the attic. Annd in the distant future we'll drywall over the horizontal board walls and replace the "trim". Right now the window is trimmed out in some pieces of beadboard wainscoting, obviously from another part of the house. The drywall may be a pain to do b/c of the vaulted ceiling...

I noticed the other day at home depot that they had an add on a shower kit for clawfoot tubs, relatively cheap annnnnd I just gained possession of a snazzy coupon, whoot!

My Baby Pig...

That is what she calls herself a baby pig..she likes Charlotte's Web. Here are some photos from a couple of weeks ago. We took Makenna to the County Fair and she got to ride some little kiddie rides




We put up Makenna's big bed today...seems like she was born just yesterday. Some photos of the new layout and bed...and frog.

Also for your viewing pleasure, Makenna after playing in my makeup. When I first saw her I thought she busted herself in the eye, lol.

To be perfectly honest...

We are having chicken wraps for dinner. I know, so culinary, so imaginative...so like we haven't gone to the store for the week and that is what I have in the freezer.

Frozen chicken tenders, frozen cheese, frozen tortillas, some leftover lettuce and a tomato. Chicken breasts are thawing for homemade chicken noodle soup tomorrow. I'm not a super huge soup fan but Brent and little M are, and my soup is the best around, so why wouldn't they be? Hahaha.

This week I am going to take a stab at Salmon w/a creamy caper sauce. That is..after I go to the store, the one down the street. We still have a ton of sweet corn left, I made Brent take some to work with him. Tomorrow we'll be half way through the week, I should start the meal plan for next week...

Is it bad that the next time we are at Meijer I'm gonna pick up ANOTHER corned beef roast, cause I could sooo eat more. I didn't get make homemade ruebens with it b/c it was all devoured before I got the chance. I also see pot roast in our near future...
