Goodbye 2012

2012,you were an okay year. I had more downs than ups,but thankfully I got through them stronger and smarter. I made new friends that seem very,very genuine and sincere and I hope our friendships continue to grow throughout the years. I've got to watch my daughter grow into a smart,happy and loving toddler that makes me smile when my world is falling apart. My relationship with her father took some twists and turns that I wasn't ready for,but we worked it out somehow. He still has my heart. Tonight we won't be going to any party or club,we really wont be doing much besides lighting a fire in our backyard and having a few drinks. And that's fine with me. All we ever need is to be around those that love us most ♥

                                                                        

                                                                                                                               (photos courtesy of wehearit)

         I hope you all have a safe & Happy New Year! I hope 2013 is a great one for you all!

Influenster Head and Shoulders Vox Box

I recently was selected to try and review Head and Shoulder's  Damage Rescue shampoo and conditioner. At first I was hesitant because my boyfriend uses the original one and it never worked on me. Let me just say,this made my dry,damaged hair SOFT and MANAGEABLE. And it smells good too! I am so glad I was selected because I needed a new conditioner that actually worked! I would recommend trying this out!

product description:
The Head & Shoulders Damage Rescue system was developed specifically to nurture scalp and dry/damaged hair with intensive care, leaving hair up to 10X Stronger in Just Four Washes. Because of the carefully balanced combination of ingredients in the formula, Damage Rescue delivers both, intensive hair and scalp care with the proven anti-dandruff efficacy of Head & Shoulders.

cost: $4.99 starting Jan.2013

Zoe's 1st Gingerbread House

Hello!

Last year I 'built' Zoe a gingerbread house but within ten minutes it fell apart. Luckily this year Damian helped and it stood firmly in place.

                                       Zoe put the dots on all by herself! So proud =)

                                       She even ate a few of the candies,the little sneak!

                                                                            All finished!

Holiday Spirit

Hello!

Sorry for going M.I.A again,but my computer is still being a jerk off and wont connect to the internet when I want. Except for today,which is why I'm going to try and posts all the pictures I've had stored in my computer for a while. lol, This post,of course is going to be about my Christmas decorations. I've taken more pictures of inside my house,but they are still on my camera and I'm kind of in a hurry to get these posts finished (sorry!) If you have any to share,please let me know so I can check them out!

                 They look much better without me using my damn flash. trust me. haha.

            The snowmen are my favorite decorations. I'll use them till they break!

                    I went with last years theme since most of our decorations were still new.

                                                                       HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Favorite Fall Lips

Hi!


The colors I have been wearing lately are not as dark as some of the ones I have been seeing other girls wear. I can't pull off a red or berry lip. I have tried. And tried. I look/feel funny. So Kudos to those who can pull it off! Here is my version of "fall lip" colors.

MAC So Vain,Revlon Sweetheart Balm Stain, Revlon Berry Smoothie, WnW Wine Room,NYX Tea Rose and Korres Lip Butter in Quince

                                                                          XOXOXO

Finally!!

After a few weeks away from my blog,I'm back. My computer was acting like a jerk off and wouldn't connect to the internet or would just disconnect for no reason. I've missed sooooo many of your posts and I have a few posts of my own lined up. I can't wait to connect with you all again =)


                       HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING!

Halloween 2012

Hello!!

I hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween. I did,thankfully. I hope to see more of you post your Halloween pictures!This year we went to my Mom's and took my younger nieces and nephew's trick or treating. Zoe had so much fun and her little bag was filled to the top at the end of the night. (yay for me!) One of my favorites things about the holidays is decorating my house. What's your favorite part?

 Zoe took off some of the stickers on our window. lol. Oh and that's my "No Solicitors" sign. fyi,it doesn't work! grrr.

As we were putting this up,we saw a HUGE spider in it. I was so scared to take it down today

                        Zoe,her Dad and a few cousins. They obviously love being silly =)

                   Zoe LOVED it. She said "trick or treat" and "thank you" at every house!

Happy October!

The holidays are coming up so fast,I love it! What I also love is a good sale. As most of you probably know,Ulta was having a 40% off sale recently and it included NYX products. I LOVE their products! Their lipsticks,blush,lip and eye liners are my favorite things to buy. Unfortunately I couldn't keep looking while I was in the store because Zoe was running around and crying. I seriously think she hates me shopping! I had only been inside for about 10 minutes!

Caviar & Bubbles Eyeshadow Palette,NYX Rose Lipliner,Concealer in Light and Cherish Balm

I won an Apothica.com gift card from Theamazingworldofj so of course I picked polish! I got Neo Whimsical and Splash of Grenadine. LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!

Zoe's 2nd Birthday pt.2

On Zoe's actual birthday Sunday the 23rd,we decided to take her and my nephew out since his birthday was a few days before hers. It was just us four but we had a great time!

                                                          My nephew,Zoe and Damian

                       Zoe didn't want to get in the car,she loves playing with rocks.

                                                     So of course she had a fit.lol

                                                             And then fell asleep.

                                Playing Fruit Ninja. She yells "No bombs No Bombs!"

                                               How adorable does she look?!

As you can see,Zoe had a great time. Afterwards Damian took me to Ulta since Him and the kids played games while I took the pictures (that's why I'm not in any. I was pretty mad about it!) It was a good day though. I really can't complain.
