Make-Up Addictions




Ok so I have a new addiction it's my new BIG FATTY MASCARA by Urban Decay! I got this at Sephora Its amazing for thickening and lengthening and what dose thickening and lengthening do!? it gives you volume amazing for your eyelashes.

Another new DRUG STORE! Make-Up addiction I have is the Photo Ready Foundation SPF 20! the color I'm using now is called 005 Natural Beige. This is the all time best foundation I've used from a drug store. It's light and gives you the perfect air brush look "photo ready" it's oil free and Fragrance free yay for me since I'm pregnant and hate all smells at the moment. To go with this Foundation you always need to prime your face so it stays on and has a longer lasting out come. It's called Beyond Natural by Revlon I'm not a huge fan it's pricey for such a small tube and I can get a better one from MAC Make-Up for $6 more then this one.


The 2 eyes shadows I can't live without are from MAC I use one for my eyebrows and one in the inner cress of my eyelids for depth.
Eyebrows - I use Espresso by MAC I use my MAC angle brush # 266 to do my eyebrows
Eyelids - I use Wedge by MAC


Last but not least my Burts Bees lip chap I think I have been using this for over 3 years now and it still works it's amazing and smells like mint!


I would write more but I'm tired and going to bed now so have a good night everyone!

look how far we've come baby!



4 months and 3 weeks!!! I'm almost 5 months pregnant! And yes for everyone that wants to know...that whole 9 months is a joke... I'll be 10

months when I deliver !


This is about the time when it gets hard to breathe...the baby and his little home are pushing on all the internal organs...cramping my lung space a little...so today when I had to walk to work- it felt like a hike! ha ha ha

Little baby is moving around right now...hee hee hee...it feels so fun. At first it feels like little bubbles in your stomach..then as they get bigger...and now the size that my lil cupcake is...it feels like little poking that sometimes don't feel so great...I feel like I need to stretch up so he'll move his little leg or foot, so it's not poking in my ribs!

So me and little one will go try to cozy up in my "nest" of pillows and get comfy...and yes, I'll probably wake up 1-2 times and have to pee in the night....baby takes up lots of room, including bladder space!!!


Good Night Everyone!

Bio Oil

Hi everyone,

So I haven't done a blog in months. I have exciting news... I'm having a little boy in March! I'm 20 weeks and 1 day today November 10th, 2010! I wanted to share with you the product I'm using to NOT!
get stretch marks.

Bio Oil – A lot of people had asked me to share my thoughts on the Bio Oil I picked up in a haul a while ago. Well I have been using this every night recently and although it’s a pain to apply all over and sometimes I can’t be bothered, I just love the way it makes my skin SO smooth and soft. I even apply it to my face sometimes as a treatment and that works really well too…you just have to make sure not to apply it anywhere near your eyes or they will go puffy…also don’t apply it if you have a lot of blemishes as it may just aggravate them. You can also use Bio Oil for your scalp, by massaging it in, leaving it overnight and then washing your hair in the morning (it also adds a lot of shine!). The Bio Oil has really helped my Psoriasis too and it’s faded a lot in the last few days. I also like to use shower oils like L’Occitane Amande Shower Oil or the one that No.7 do. They’re a great way to moisturise your skin lightly without having an oily layer on your skin.
I really hope this post has helped anyone who suffers from the condition or at least helped people to understand what Psoriasis is. It’s not something that people like to talk about because it can be embarrassing to have to explain it to people (especially to a new beau in your life!). There has been a massive rise in products that only contain natural/organic ingredients and that really is a step in the right direction. I know that this condition can really knock your confidence and make you feel down about the way you look, especially when people make nasty comments or stare, but remember that you’re not alone and if you want to ask me anything, please do email me or comment below and I will be happy to answer any questions you

Lemon & Sugar Face Scrub










let's get some perfect skin!
Do you have any of the following:
ance
freckles
age spots
blackheads
skin discoloration
pimples or zits
sun spots
dull looking skin

Lemons have BHA (beta hydroxy acid - the skin-slougher-off-er AKA anti-aging wonder!)
Beta hydroxy acid work as an exfoliant, causing the cells of the epidermis to become "unglued" setting the old. dead skin cells free, making room for regrowth of fresh, new skin. Beta hydroxy acid is known to improve wrinkles, roughness, and mottled pigmentation! yeah baby!
AHA- (alpha dyroxy acid- AKA the skin improver)prevents clogged pores, enhances cell renewal through exfoliation (which makes you look younger!). AHA's help hydrate the skin, increase collagen production, and improve skin texture, making it appear more glowy and beautiful.
So get out your:
Organic Lemons (or Organic Lemon Juice)
(organic) SUGAR
cotton balls or cotton rounds (or even a washcloth)
Scrub for 5 mins and rinse !

summer CARE!



Summer is right around the corner... & there are some things I do that I'll share with you all!

5 basic things I do In the summer!!!

1. After tanning I use a tinted body moisturizer.

2. for my hair I put a sun protecting hair cream in 2 times a day depending on how long Im outside for.

3. The sun makes our hair extremely dry! So I use a deep conditioner on my hair every 3 months to re moisturize my hair.

4. The sun also makes our skin very dry so I try and get a facial once a month.

5. When Im not going off to work or somewhere important I try and stay away from heavy foundations. So I use Marcelle sheer tint fluid face moisturizer with SPF 15.
and SMASHBOX DNA extra black mascara.

Exfoliate, Moisturize & Tone!!!




Washing your face is so important I believe twice a day is good ( morning and night ). I'd use cleanser both times and a exfoliatiion scrub 3 times a week. If you have been out and have makeup caked on your face and dont need it on anymore, you should cleanse your face then too.

1. Burt's Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub is amazing!!!
I use it in the shower and I scrub it on my face for 5 mins!
I do little circular movement with my fingers. Then rinse... my face have never felt so soft and the best part is it's sulfate-free!!! Willowbark Extract: This extract contains natural Beta Hydroxy Acids, which work as a natural skin exfoliants to help unplug follicles and pores.

2. Burt's Bees Radiance Dat Cream.... apply this the morning after you wash your face at night. This day cream has Royal Jelly: Very nourishing, royal jelly is made of nectar, pollen, flower parts, vitamins, minerals, and other natural ingredients. It is a very precious, mysterious substance that honeybees produce and feed to only select young bees, which in turn become mature and fertile queen bees. The queen bee lives 40 times longer than her worker bees.

3. Burt's Bees Rosewater & Glycerin Toner... toning is very important apply it with a make-up pad the stuff in the toner kills all the germs in your skin and prevent pimples from appearing or starting. The toner has Rosewater: Produced by the distillation of the fresh flowers as well as the distillation of the essential oil of roses, rose water is mildly astringent and soothing to dry skin.

You can get all this stuff in your drug store or get it online at...

hair tips



Wash your hair every 2 days washing your hair everyday makes it's dry and removes color from your hair fast and makes the color fade. Also shampoo and conditioners from the drug storecontains very harsh chemicals called sulfates
Sulfates strip the hair of its natural oils
Using sulfates on your hair everyday could make your hair dry and brittle
You may also notice your scalp is flaky (its most likely not dandruff but dry scalp)
 REDKENS http://www.redken.ca from the salons it's the best! 

SHAMPOO: Your hair 2 times in the shower and scrub your head still your arms hurt trust me lathering wont do it the job! 

CONDITIONER: The ENDS of your hair only!!! and comb threw the rest when you put conditioner on the top of your hair it ways down the hair when its dry and makes it greasy.
