I have more closet space behind the brown wall for my tank tops and shirts they are really packed in there. The middle pink thing holds my bras, underwear, swim suits, and socks. I use the shelves for jeans, dress pants, leggings, shorts, fleeces, pajamas, and well whatever use I need to throw up there. Enjoy

Clothes Haul

Hello!! I took some real quick pictures of the clothes I picked up recently in Madison. I hope you enjoy!

I purchased these boots at Burlington Coat Factory for $19.99 BARGIN

I got this Flannel from Forever21for $12.99 on clearance. I am thinking about pairing with black leggings and black boots.

I purchased this shirt at Gordmans for $9.99 I thought this would be perfect for my new job. I have to dress up each day with a black cardigan this would be perfect.

This shirt is from PacSun they are having AMAZING sales right now take an extra 50% off already reduced items. This is a paisley shirt with slight ruffles around the neck line. Super cute. Purchased for $9.98

Purchased from Forever21 for $12.80. I also thought this would be great for my new job alittle pop of color under a black cardigan.

Another great steal from PacSun you guys are never going to believe how much I paid for this.. $5.25 NO LIE. Very Heavy duty cardigan. Looks a little more pink in person

Dolman top from Forever21 $10.80. The fit is fabulous. Very loose in the "armpit area" and tighter fit at the bottom great with leggings and boots

Birchbox!!

Hello!! I am very excited about this new recent discovery. Along with reading makeup blogs I love watching some gurus on youtube. Except I have come across a lot of hit and miss gurus on there. I have a select 15 maybe that I watch regularly. One of which posted a video about Birchbox ( username faniechannel).

When I saw the title of the video I was like ugh what is this junk?!? I decided to watch it anyways and boy was I excited by the end of this video. I discovered that Birchobox is a company that gets high-end makeup,hair,skin, etc product samples. You pay $10 a month and receive 4-5 samples. I was sorta like eh.. but honestly this is such a goooood deal. The brands are expensive makeup and this lets you try out products before you buy the normal size. And when I talk about samples I don't mean like a little tiny sample that you only can use one time you get a GIANT sample.

Also, every month you buy a Birchbox you get 10 points and when you stack up 100 points you get $10 off your purchase of a full size product from their site. Which is an amazing deal! Not only do you get to try the product you get it at a cheaper price. You also receive points for buy full sized products. If you order a whole years worth of Birchbox ($110) you get 100 points to start off with. EXCITING.

Another way to earn points is to take a survey after you get your Birchbox package and you get 10 points! So getting to that 100 points isn't that hard.

So tonight after watching a couple videos on Birchbox from youtube. I had to place an order! So in February I will get my first Birchbox and will definitely let you guys know what kinds of goooodies I get!!!

Review: Revlon Peach Petal Nail Polish

Hello! I am back with another review. I picked this up nail polish at Walmart yesterday it was part of little haulish stuff I got at Walmart. Not exciting. I was really looking for a new nail polish color. Since I got this new job I have to stick with lighter nail polish colors that look more professional at FamVid I could really wear whatever colors I wanted. Here is the polish

I had to apply 2 coats of the Peach Petal and then I added 1 top coat from Sally Hansen. I always add at clear top coat it seriously seems like my nail polish stays on longer. I really like this color its not quite like Malibu Barbie Pink and its light enough to not be super bright. I am really satisfied with the purchase. In some spots the color is a little see thru but not really a huge deal to me. I think this was like $3.46 maybe at Walmart.

I really am a fan of Sinful Color nail polishes that are only 2 dollars are Walgreens but I am sorta liking this Revlon polish.. I might have to try out another color.

Well I am off to bed hopefully going to Madison in the morning. I am planning to go shopping maybe I can make a haul for you all! Have a great night.

Daily Dimes

Hello! I have some new updates for you in my daily dimes blog... I am going to be a busy lady for the next couple months nothing like working your butt off to see your bank account grow.

So for those of you who don't know currently as of yesterday I was working at Family Video and nannying on all of my off days at FamVid (my abbreviation). So I was already busy but since I graduated with my MA (medical assistant) degree from college I have been looking for a job at the clinic on the side. I took a chance and applied for an Interviewer Position that works with the Flu Studies at the Clinic here. (Marshfield Clinic) My first new update is that I GOT THE JOB! I am going to be working full time from Jan 31st until April sometime. I have decided to work 1 night a week at FamVid and every Friday Night I nanny for a couple hours. My Saturdays are going to be amazing I can just feel it.

My next exciting news is that I am also going back to school for an Associates Degree in Human Resource Management/Business Management. I am taking an online class right now for this semester. Thank goodness I didn't take more than 1 class online because with this new job I am going to be BUSY. I am really excited though. We will see how this Marketing Principles Class pans out.

I am pretty sure that for my new job I have to wear office attire thank goodness I am going to Madison Thursday I can go shopping for some black pants and some cute new tops! WOO I love any excuse for shopping.

I finished organizing my bathroom makeup/beauty stuff. I got a new glass square jar vase thing that I put all of my lip gloss and lip stick in but seriously it all doesn't fit and I don't even have that much stuff!!! Oh well. I have been working really hard to use up makeup as I said in my other post and I finally conquered a whole bottle of Revlon ColorStay my favorite foundation by far. Good thing I had a backup one under my sink of course!

I think that is really all the new news I have for you guys. I am still going to try really hard to blog for the next couple months. Also, I went shopping at Walmart yesterday and I picked up just a couple goods. I will make a post that soon.

Enjoy!

Project 10 Panish...

Hello! I always seen beauty gurus on youtube doing Project 10 Pan. I have tried to do this before and it just seems like I don't have enough makeup to use up 10 things before I buy makeup. Also, I am not really a compulsive makeup buyer either. I usually just pick up 1 or 2 things if I hear of something good or I just run out of an eyeliner.

When I have done with Project 10 Pan before I also tried to use up products that I have half used and retired under my sink. I tend to buy something use part of it and then buy the same thing in a different brand. Conditioner, Shampoo, Lotions, Self Tanners, Hair Products... these like to hide under my sink. I have really been trying hard to use up my conditioners and shampoos.

Since I am moving out of my parents house in June I am trying really hard to use up some of the stock pile under my bathroom sink. I like to switch shampoos and conditioners often. I am usually not impressed with the new ones I try out and always find myself falling back to the good old Head and Shoulders. Always leaves my hair moisturized and shiny. LOVE IT.

I am also trying to clean up some of my makeup that I have as well. I have been reorganizing my makeup/bathroom drawers trying to find stuff to use up and throw away. I will try to keep updating you guys on what I use up and the progress of my reorganization. So far I have used up 1 Ulta Conditioner ( purple writing) 1 Aussie Deeeeep Coditioner 1 Head & Shoulders Shampoo 1 Head & Shoulders Condtioner and 1 Rimmel Brown Eyeliner Oh, I have been using this stuff up for a couple weeks now so don't think I used it up in just one day and keep bottles with barely anything in it hidden away.

It feels so good to finally be getting this stuff out from under my sink, sorta felt like a hoarder for awhile. ( Please tell me that you guys do this too? that I am not some kind of weirdo) Last time my brother was home I even combined like 3 half bottles of Shampoo and gave them to him to take back to this apartment =) I am such a nice sister!

Back to organizing! Enjoy! Let me know what products you guys are trying to use up!!!

Glitzy Ocean Nails

Hello!! I have been slacking a little bit but I did redo my nails! I was trying to do something new and something a little different. I had purples nails before this so I didn't want to go with anything pink/purple/red no thanks. I used a color that I wore practically every day this past summer. Mint Apple by Sinful Colors AMAZING. I wanted to add a little glitz and glam to my nails and I recently had purchases LA Colors Blue Glitter Nail Polish. I needed to try it out. So I created a "french tip" inspired nail.

Check out the look below

How to Achieve this look:

1. Apply an all over color ( you can pick something similar to the glitter color or go crazy with 2 different colors)
2. Add a thin line of glitter at the tip the nail and wipe the brush off and pull the glitter downwards ( try making an upside down U shape)
3. Wait until your nails dry probably about 15 minutes and then apply a clear top coat
4. If you want to add some more color maybe add another glitter color or some little dots of another plain color with a tooth pick or some gems!

Hope you all enjoyed these nails. I will try and keep looks coming

My Favorite Winter Prodcuts

Hello! I live in Wisconsin for those of you who didn't know that! Well today it is snowing. So I got a fabulous idea of maybe sharing some of my favorite products to keep my skin hydrated in the winter. My Favorite Winter Products :

Recently, I was at Bath and Body Works they are having their Hello Yellow Sale! So I picked up some lotions for only 3 dollars each (tell me that isn't a steal from B&BW) My newest favorite is part of the summer vanilla collection. The lemon one!!! Seriously, smells like lemon frosting. I don't like to use lotions that remind me of winter during winter. I don't like the heavy creams and peppermint scented stuff NO NO NO. I use lotions that remind me of summer. Also, I love using the lotion + self tanner my favorite Olay touch of sun! Seriously amazing and I have pretty light skin and I use the medium to dark skin toned one.

My lips get really chapped in the winter from having a cold every other week it seems and just the dry heat in every building/house you are in. I am obsessed with using Vaseline on my lips at all times. I carry a little one I got at Target for $1.99 in my purse ( my friends are always trying to steal it) I also am obsessed with EOS chapsticks that I find at Walgreens for $3.49. They come in tons of flavors I happen to own all the ones available at my Walgreens but my favorite is the Sweet Mint. Seriously reminds me of Burts Bees Lip Balm for all of you Burts Bees Lovers. =]

In winter my hair gets static from all of the dry heat in the air and using style tools on it except I only get static hair in the winter I use this product all year but I can totally tell on the days when I forget to apply this before I leave the house I am a static mess TIGI Bed Head After Party it says its for Smoothing Cream for Silky, Shiny, Healthy Looking Hair. I used it after I style my hair weather I use a curling iron or flat iron I use just a little bit and smooth it all over my hair especially the ends. Makes my hair feel really soft.

Those are some of my favorite products for winter! Most of them I use year round but it just seems like I use more of them in the Winter months. If you guys have any favorite products leave them below!! Have a great day!!!

Best things about Sundays...

Well Of course Football is on and this gives me plenty of time to deeeeeeeep condition my hair which I usually do every Sunday while watching my Favorite teams!!! I do have an older blog post about my favorite drugstore deep conditioner Aussie 3 minute Miracle Deep Conditioner which is totally what I used today! Well off to watch more football and chug down my Pepsi addiction.

Morning Sunshine

Today is another day in my life. I hope to sleep in on my day off and of course I wake up at 837am. My morning like every other morning starts with a BIG cup of coffee with french vanilla creamer and some sugar. Always makes my day better.

Currently I am finishing watching Social Network they fabulous movie about Facebook. I work at family video so I get to prescreen movies before they come out. This week I was utterly excited to get to watch this one! I am seriously in love with this movie. I totally forgot that Justin Timberlake was in it! He actually does a really good job acting. Surprising. This movie comes out on Tuesday I highly recommend for all of you Facebook users!!!!

The rest of my day is watching Football! My dad is cheering on the packers but I am a die hard vikings fan and sorta want the packers to lose and the Eagles to win and go on to play Da Bears!!! Good luck to all you football fans

My Day

Everday I wake up and do the same things every morning coffee, shower, makeup, hair, clothes, pepsi, out the door. My weeks are all beginning to feel the same with Work, Babysitting, Same ole Same Old. I grew up with great parents that were madly in love and I had an older brother I adored with all of my heart. My parents had the funds to let me enjoy anything I wanted gymnastics, paintings, movies, rollerskating, all of my crazy ideas and hobbies. Now 19 years later I am faced with many decisions and my parents are too. Recently, My parents have been struggling with their marriage. For me to see my parents struggling sort of makes me realize that really nothing lasts forever.

While growing up my parents never got in fights. I never heard them say anything mean to each other they were my idols my perfect parents. The past year has been a struggle for them. My dad has always worked nights for most of my life I never really got to see him that often because when I would come home from school he would be sleeping and when I was going to bed he would get up but to me this was normal. I did whatever I wanted and so did the rest of the family. My mom also worked a lot of hours. My parents are both Nurses so they ended up working weird and long hours my whole life. My mom has always has interests in other things like Native Americans, Drumming, Spiritual Lifestyle, but recently this has gotten into Shamanism or Energy Healing. She got right into a close group of people one of who is John. I am not really sure how of all this really started between my parents but I know that my mom was spending a lot of time chatting with this John character on the phone and my dad was feeling concerned so He started to get up earlier before going to work to spend time with my mom. My mom would go out of town a lot and so my dad started to act weird and begin snooping around on my moms computer and apparently he found some emails that he didnt really understand the meaning the of them and blew what my mom actually ment out of proportion. So to sum it up ever since then my parents havent really been right and my dad lost a crazy amount of weight trying to deal with this. My mom has no apparent interest in this John fellow but my dad for some reason thinks my mom does.

Now I still live with my parents and yes it is very awkward when everyone I wake up to get coffee before starting my day and going to work that my parents are "chatting" in the living room together talking about divorce, how my dad feels like this, and my mom doesnt understand why...blahh blahh blahh. Let me tell you when people say that your kids can sense when something isnt right between their own parents let me tell you THAT IS SO TRUE. I dont even need to hear what they are saying I can just tell that they were talking about something. I really wisht that they would just wait to talk about that shit when I am not fucking home. Its really hard to see your parents falling apart in front of you. At least they are going to counseling soon. Hopefully that helps with this awkward situation we are all having. Life.

Lack of Postin'

Busy, Busy, Busy....

I am back on my blog writing a new one. A random blog with really no rhyme or reason. I was trying to write a blog about beauty and everything that it entails but really you can search anywhere and there are blogs and blogs about beauty makeup, everything you would want to know. So I am here with a lack of posts thinking to myself about what I can write about that maybe people would really show interest in.

So I have just decided I am going to write about anything and everything going on around me and right now Ive got quite a few things.

• going back to school
• working
• my passion for beauty and makeup reviews
• living in a tense household

Hopefully soon I will get to write about things that I am feeling and enjoying.

Enjoy =]
