Home for the holidays!

So bubba and I are headed to Tulsa for the holidays! Yep, we'll be spending Christmas with my fambam and looks like we have alot planned! :D I'm super excited because I really need to get away from this weather! It is so miserable!

Last Wednesday (12/09) was my birthday and guess what I got as a present from Mother Nature? 18 inches of snow. We were snowed in and couldn't leave our house! The governor of Wisconsin shut down the whole city... Craziness! I would be perfectly fine if I never saw snow again!

Anyways, as mentioned, my birthday was 12/09. I had two birthday parties... My friends threw me a casino night birthday party which was fabulous! My sisters from Tulsa drove up for the party and my sister in laws from Appleton drove down for the party! :D It was great to see everyone! And then this past weekend, I got another birthday party too! It was a surprise and it was fabulous as well! Will post up pictures soon! :D

Sex?!?

The sex of the baby...!!! What were you thinking? We'll find out if we'll be bring a little boy or girl into this world on January 4th! We're super excited!

Thanks to everyone who congratulated us! :D We'll be first time parents so everything is such an awesome experience... minus the morning sickness... I can do without that!

Every Wednesday, we do Happy Hour with a group of friends! It's good to get together with these lovely ladies in the middle of the week! :D Here's a funny one of us from two weeks ago! :D
Here's Bubba & I! He looks a little lost! HAhaha

GB tournament!

Us at the GB tournament on the 1st day! I know, I'm such a DIVA, had to have an umbrella! Shoot, it was hot!

Hearts this picture of Bubba! He thought he was cool! Hahaha

The look I did for the tournament! I took this picture after the long day at the tournament sweating and after a nap! Forgot to put on some lip product but I was about to wash it off so was too lazy to put it on just for the picture! hahaha

Out on Saturday night!

Bubba & I on Saturday night! :D Kept the eyes simple and did red lips! :D Picture was taken after he had a couple of drinks so he's kind of red in the face here!

Where were you?

Where were you that September day? http://tinyurl.com/365k9c I can still remember like it was yesterday!

Sorry I been MIA for so long! Life has been busy busy! I haven't spent a weekend in Madison since July! :( We been doing alot of traveling this summer: Trips to MN, Appleton, Milwaukee & Tulsa! I'm super glad that we'll be in Madison this weekend. Going to go to the Farmer's Market tomorrow morning and hopefully spend time with some friends! :)

I haven't blogged because all my free time has been consumed by this:

I know, somehow I ended up on the bandwagon too! It's addicting, literally. I watched the movie 5 times already, although its nothing compared to the book! The good news is, I will be done with Breaking Dawn tonight so I will try to come back to my regular blogging schedule! :)

Until then, toddles! :D

Jane & Prestige hauls

Sorry, this is so old, just haven't had the time to post it!

I went a little crazy while Jane was going out of business! Hehehe! :) I really like Jane's tinted moisturizer, lipgloss and mascara!

Prestige, never heard of this brand before but they were on sale for cheap! :D I absolutely love the purple liquid eyeliner! :)

Makeup night

When my sister in laws came and spent a week with us, we did makeup one of the nights! It was so much fun! I *played* MUA for the night! hehehe :D I did everyone's makeup except for Kathy. It was lots of fun and we even had a mini photo shoot too! :D

All of us!
L to R: Wenda, Becky, Kathy, Ashley & me!

Just me! Can't remember everything I used for this look. :(

SIL Wenda! I did a blue look on her but she it kind of looks silver in the pictures! This is the first time I ever seen Wenda with this much makeup on and I love it! I used mainly Jane makeup and the CS palettes to achieve this look.

SIL Becky! Love working with her eyes and she has some beautiful skin! :)

SIL Ashely, my favorite look of the night! Did a smokey brown & black look on her and then she put on red lipstick! So pretty!

I didn't a get a single of Kathy on my camera! :(

Imma Star!

I heart this song but I even heart this song more now because of the video! With the hard times in this economy, its good to see some sense of humor and lack of bling in the video! :D

Home alone!

Fatboy is going to Oregon for 3 days and 2 nights! Business trip so unfortunately I won't be joining him! :( I hate sleeping without him, I'm just so used to my teddy bear that when he's not sleeping next to me, I have a had time falling asleep and staying asleep. The plus to his trip, I will have time to blog! :D So many blogs that I need to post up, especially my date with Mr. Birthday Sex! Hahaha :D

Fatty pumping gas and I just happened to catch him in the photo! LOLz...

Just me, in the mirror!

Sumo MAC haul

So I didn't get too much from the Sumo MAC sale. A couple of weeks before, I spent a good chunk of change on MAC products since I didn't know that the sale was going to happen. Thanks to all the brushes, it was an expensive haul. You can refer to this post for reference of what I previously purchased.

SUMO haul:

MAC #182 Buffer brush
MAC Oil Control Lotion
MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation in NC30
MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer in NC30
MAC Prep+Prime Transparent Finishing Powder
MAC Foundation Pump
MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre
MAC brush cleaner (not pictured)

I'm so mad though, I took my brush cleaner with me on the trip to FL and the whole darn thing spilled while in transit back home! :( I barely used it and now I have to buy a new one! :( Boo! Absolutely love the S/S foundation & concealer which is weird because the first time I tried it at the MAC counter, I didn't like it at all. Must of been the MUA! LOLz... The paint pot in soft ochre matches my skin tone so perfectly, it's almost unbelievable! I got this one also because sometimes I want to do a less shimmery look & the bare study paint pot gives off alot of shimmer!

Sorry for the slow updates, life has been busy and some on my SILs are visiting for the week so we been doing lots of other stuff! Will try and update with photos soon! :D

Coastal Scent palettes

AS PROMISED!

CS 88 Warm palette & CS Blush & Contour palette!

I made a recent haul from Coastal Scents because I purchased the 88 warm palette & the 28 neutral palette for my twin SILs... They love makeup also! :D So of course I had to get myself something too! :D I got the warm palette & the contour palette!

The 88 warm palette, colors look really nice but I haven't touched it yet! Will let you know what I think of it.

The contour palette is OMG! I absolutely love it. Very pigmented and very user friendly. I LOVE it and highly recommend it! It works awesome for me and I love the blush colors too. I can do swatches if anyone would like to see.

Maddie Waddie

My niece Maddie Waddie and I! :D I been working on a couple of post, promise to have one up tomorrow! :D

So sorry!

So I been back from FL for a few days now but a friend came to town so I spent some time with her. Since then I been catching up on sleep so haven't had time to blog. This weekend will be a busy one as we're headed to Appleton tonight and won't have time to come online so hoping to get a beauty blog posted in early next week! Need to upload the pictures on my camera also which I been to lazy to do...

My FL trip was too short but definitely made new friends and saw old ones! It was good to see my parents and funny to see fatty acting as a OG. LOLz... For the first time in our lives and probably the last time, my parents told us to drink! Hahaha, that was some funny stuff since my parents are so conservative when it comes to drinking.

MIA

I have been super MIA and going to continue being MIA for the next week or so. This past weekend we took a last minute trip to the Twin Cities and then I will be leaving to FL on Thursday and won’t be back until Monday. But my very good friend is visiting me from NYC with her new man when we return so hopefully I will be back to blog next Wed. or Thursday. I do have some beauty posts coming up when I get back. I just received my Sumo haul and CS haul so I am hoping to review a couple of items. Also, I haven’t even touched my NYX order and I know a couple of ladies asked that I review some of the stuff from that haul. I promise it will be worth the wait and I’ll definitely try and make up for being gone!

Twin Cities was great as usual, got to spend a lot of time with my nieces and nephew! They are too adorable and they grow way to fast! I am super excited about FL and already started packing last night! Hoping to get done packing tonight as I won’t have time tomorrow to pack.

Alright, have a good one! :D

Lunch @ the Nitty Gritty

Couple Saturdays ago, fatty and I went to Nitty Gritty for lunch! It was super delicious! Was totally starving so I didn't get to snap any pictures until after we ate! Nitty Gritty is the official birthday bar in Madison, everyone goes there on their birthday for a free mug and all you can drink tap beer! :)

Fatty thinking really hard! Hahaha

Made him pay the bill... Hahaha ;)

And here's one of us! :)
