NEW LOVE

WEll, I have found a new love. I absolutley love to have my nails painted. I love it. I am I die hard O.P.I. nail color fan. Love it. BBBBUUTTTT....as I was wondering the beauty section of my local WalGreens...I came across a cute lil display of Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in a bunch of cute summer colors. I absolutely fell in love with "Gunmetal". Its a dark gray and I love it. I'll post a pic later of my color on my nails. I got a cute pink glitter and an even cuter light sea green color. WONDERFUL. Just thought I would share ;)

**PRODUCT REVIEW: MASCARA**

Okay, so like I have said before, when I fall in love with something, I shove it down everyone's throats :0) so, here's my latest LOVE:





L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen Mascara. Wonderful....it makes my lashes thick and beautiful and I love it. Unconditonally :)

The only other mascara in the world I have ever found that I loved as much as this was the fat yellow tube of Maybelline Mascara, sadly that relationship did not last as I am allergic to Maybelline mascara and it burned my eyes :( But nonetheless, this mascara has stolen my heart ;)

Blonde Moment for the Brunette

okay, so like I have said...I am sooo a newbie to the blogger world. I was looking at my blog's main page thing when I noticed....I HAVE A FOLLOWER!! I know her and I was just SOOOOOOOOO excited that I finally had a follower. It made my night. I know so sad....its the simple things in life that excite me! ha ha ha....So I get to looking at my blog and then I notice something else new...I have comments on some of my posts. AWESOME. I felt so goofy when I realized they were left well over a month ago and I didn't know it! So, there is my blonde moment for the month! Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude and not acknowledge. I just honestly didn't know. :)

We got our tax return the other day and I don't like to blow money. I really don't, but if I do spend money, I like to spend it on quality things. I am such a product junkie. Big time. And I am all about brand. Some brands don't work and others are great and some products are expensive and a total waste and some are expensive and worth every penny. Shampoo and conditioner are the expensive and worth every penny category. Hair spray is too. I use Matrix and I love it. But I wait and get it on sale. and I freak every time I do it. I like literally have a semi panick attack in the car that I just spent $20 on shampoo and conditioner (even if its the liter bottles and that's a steal!)

I wore Clinique makeup all through highschool. When I had my daughter, I became a stickler about not spending more than $5 on myself at any given time. I buy $7 mascara from walmart and I still get nauseated. I have worn cheap walmart makeup since. I am very very fair and I realized when going through pictures for Dad's funeral, that several brands that looked good in person made me look like a geisha in the pictures. more particularly, the brand I am currently wearing. Very chalky and AWFUL. My hubby decided Friday that since we got our tax return and I wouldn't have to panick so bad....that it was time for me to go back to Clinique for my makeup. I was like so excited so I went and had the little facial thing done and got my makeup. I got in the car and nearly passed out that I spent $40.00 on makeup...but at the same time, I felt so excited because I got good makeup for the first time in years!! Then I went to Target and he was like 'buy more makeup' cause I was out of nearly everything. So I got cheap eyeshadows and some lipstick and new lipglosses that are so pretty!! I was so excited! oh, and a secret....I found a product a few months ago that makes ANY eyeshadow look fantabulous on and last all day without creasing...no matter how oily your skin is...Loreal Decreaser...its an eyeshadow base and I swear by it. My eyeshadow looks good from 7:30 in the morning till midnight. Like I just put it on! LOVE IT...so there you go! Enjoy! ha ha ha...

Hello!

Well, you can find out more about my family in the About Me section of my blog. We live in the country and I would not have it any other way. I love being outdoors and in the woods. Its a huge part of me and I don't think I would survive if I didn't live in the woods somewhere.

I am helplessly addicted to shoes and purses and I love to find cute jewelry cheap (who doesn't?). Another thing I am hopelessly addicted to are beauty products. I love hair products and I try pretty much everything new when it comes out. Same with beauty products. Facial cleaners, scrubs, mascaras, lip gloss, you name it, I try it. Oh and cleaning products, I hate to clean but I love to buy cleaning products. It is crazy!! When I find somthing I like, though, I shove it down everyone's throat, so trust me, when I find something great, I will let you know!!

When I have time, I love to read. I enjoy cooking for my family and friends, and I hate to clean. There is some background on me. Enjoy and I will post more later!!
