I was up since 4:30 this morning. I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep, so i've been surfing the net. I am becoming very obcessed with makeup, makeup brushes & accessories. It is becoming ridiculous. I am now eyeing the shu eumera eye lash curler. I hear so much great reviews about this curler. i think I know why i am up this early, it is because my husband is at work today and my intentions is to sneak off to sephora and see what I could buy. hehehe....I actually want to look for a really good foundation. I have such oily skin in my t-zone area and so far what helps is using the smash box face primer or i also use a thin layer of milk of magnesia on my t-zone area and finish it off with a powder foundation. I have been using a loreal powder foundation, but I would like a flawless coverage without looking like i have a caked face full of makeup. i was thinking of trying MAC studio tech foundation or the georgio armani luminous skin foundation or even the every day minerals foundation. I want to find a foundation that will give me flawless coverage. if anyone has some great suggestions i would really love to hear them. another thing that i love so much is the urban decay primer potion. it keeps your eyeshadow from creasing and makes your eyeshadow last all day. I love love this and will never stop using it. Some products that i use that are affordable is NYX and milani. They have high pigments, NYX has been said to be a cheap alternative to MAC eyeshadow. I'm not saying all of MAC eyeshadow, but some. I really love hunting down these products out here in arizona since NYX and milani are scarce here and sometimes i am forced to order from online. I also use any other affordable product that you can find at target, walmart, cvs...it just depends on my taste. my husband has been noticing my binge on my makeup and has commented on it. i feel guilty for buying, but it has absolutely become an addiction. when we go to a store, such as target, the the aisle i go to is makeup. i had to buy these miniature countertop drawers to store some of my makeup. These are very handy and i love them. I store all my makeup brushes in the first drawer, eyeliners, eye lash curlers - basically anything i use for my eyes and then the 3rd drawer i use for anything i use for my face, such as foundation, tinted moisterizers etc. well, i better go eat some breakfast take a shower and make my way out the door. i don't plan on spending too much today. i will get in trouble if i do...haha. i don't have to work on monday because it is martin luther king day so that is wonderful!

Here's a little something i made this morning since i was bored. i didn't add too much but will make something similar again soon

Happy New Year!


brian and i didn't do anything for the new year. we were planning on going to his cousin's house, but i think we intentionally kept delaying it until we both fell asleep. i woke up way past 12 am. It was 2:30 am and the new year was long gone. i think partying until we puked our guts was not on our agenda this year. the problem is that we've had family come into town two weekends in a row. so there was a lot of cooking, shopping-which required hours of walking from one store to another and staying up late with the family. i think that two weeks of doing this really pooped us out and made us want to spend time by ourselves relaxing and sleeping.

For christmas, my dad and brother's came into town. it was really nice spending time with my family again. i bought a honey baked ham this year. it was so delicious. if you never tried it i suggest that you do. it is worth the money. I also purchased some of the sides that they offered. i got the mac and cheese and i'm thinking it is a sweet potatoe casserole. i'm not sure, but it was so delicious! i would have secretly eaten this all if no on was looking....haha!...

brian's family came on december 28 and stayed until new years eve. that was another aerobic workout! we went from one store to another shopping like crazy. we ended up at ikea by the end of the day pooped out, hungry, and tired. brian's mom babied us. she cooked most of the meals. she brought a lamb leg from teec nos pos and boy did we have some good lamb stew with fry bread. yum! she threw in some dumplings and added a few squash and carrots. it was full of carbs, but i really didn't give a crap. so because of all the bad eating from the holidays i did some extra running on the treadmill tonight.

well, i better get ready for bed. good night. i'll leave you with a crappy cell phone pic of my dog coco in her hot pink coat. she has practically no hair, so when i go back to the rez we have to put this on her so she can run around outside.
