My Favorite Apps

I already did a post about my favorite iPod apps, but I can't find it and I have more to add, so here is a whole new post! So, I use my ipod as a camera A LOT! Therefore, most of my favorite apps are camera apps. Some aren't. Here they are!

Instagram
Pocketbooth
8mm
CameraBag
Hipstamatic
IncrediBooth
Diptic
Retro Camera
IDarkroom
Super Pong
Alice

ok and there is one more. It is an instax app, but it is all in korean or something, so I don't know what anything on it says, but it takes instax photos!

Sephora haul reviews and a preview

I just realized I never reviewed my sephora haul!

I have said before that I didn't think expensive makeup was worth the price. I was WRONG!!! I have said many times on here that I LOVE my MAC foundation. That was the beginning of wrong. After using my Benefit Boi-ing concealer, High Beam highlighter, and Eye Bright pencil, I am officially going on record that sometimes, paying more is worth it!
I have been looking for YEARS for a concealer that would cover my under eye circles. Nothing worked! (yes i get at least 8 hours of sleep and drink plenty of water, they don't go away!). UNTIL NOW!!!! I am seriously totally in love with my Boi-ing concealer. I will continue to use this forever! It covers my under dark under eye circles like magic! I can't speak to its use on zits b/c I don't get them on my face too often and don't use concealer on them when I do, b/c I like to let them heal without makeup. This product gets 3 thumbs up! A definite addition to my holy grail product list!
Moving on to the Eye Bright pencil. I love this! This is a favorite of many beauty bloggers, and now I know why! I use it on the inner and outer corners of my eyes and it really opens them up! My eyes appear larger and set further apart, which I like. I wouldn't call this a necessary product for everyone, but it's on my holy grail list!
Lastly, High Beam. Ok, I don't use blush b/c I have cheeks that turn really red at the drop of a hat, so I have never felt the need to add color. I have been using my High Beam as a substitute for blush and I will use it forever! I simply apply it under the apples of my cheeks up to the temples and blend. It give my cheekbones more definition (which is awesome b/c I basically have none) and gives me an awesome dewy glow! Another product added to my holy grail!

Ok, now for the preview! On tap for this weekend we have:

1. taxes (UGH!)

2. a trip to the laundromat to wash our comforter

3. a date with our besties

4. a trip to the store for essentials

And that's all folks!

badumptshhhh (that is the way you spell a rim shot followed by a cymbal crash, ok?)

10 minutes

This morning, I got up 10 minutes earlier. B/c of those minutes, I managed to put on makeup, make myself coffee, and wear jewelry, which I normally (sadly) do not do. Amazing what 10 minutes can do.

Wee Bit Wednesday


{one} do you wear holey jeans? if so, do you buy them that way?
I only have a couple pair of jeans and they aren't holey. Oh I take that back. I have a pair of the boyfriend jeans that are a bit shredded.

{two} do you get a full 8 hours of sleep per night?
I try to. I'm a bit of a bear if I don't get a good nights rest! So mostly yes.

{three} what’s your favorite way to eat an oreo?
dunked in milk until they are soggy but not falling apart. It's a science really.

{four} do you wear shoes in your house?
Nope, Jon is a a carpet nazi. NO MORE SHOES IN THE HOUSE! (you have to say it like that line from mommy dearest)

{five} who would you call first if you won the lottery?
Jon, duh!

{six} have you ever been in a food fight?
Not that I can remember. Hm....

{seven} do you snore?
Oh man do I ever! I sound like a frickin' freight train! Or as Jon says, a window ruffler! I have snored my whole life and it's always been super bad. I may have been known to wake up someone on a completely different end o the house....and a different floor of the house! Really Really Bad. I don't know how Jon lives with me, but I'm glad he does!

{eight} do you know how fast you type?
I'm not sure how fast, but Jon and his brothers always say "Enhance" when I'm typing around them. It's from the movie Super Troopers. Which is an awesome movie and everyone should watch it. So anyway, I guess I type super fast.

{nine} can you do a headstand (without using a wall)?
LMAO!!!! Bwaahahahahahhhaahhahaha! NO freaking WAY! I can't do one WITH a wall!

{ten} how do you like your popcorn?
from the movies. I'll eat microwave popcorn, but not often. I LOVE movie popcorn though. Extra butter please!

*Insert the Charlie Brown teacher voice here*

Well things are slowly getting back to semi normal around here. Jon is starting to heal, which apparently means more pain, NO BUENO! Tonight he says he's feeling better though. I have gotten all my loot from my online shopping spree and I love it all! Today I wore my new pants and a new shirt. Love! I'm really sorry this post is so boring. I haven't done anything blogworthy lately. Just taking care of the hubs. It's a full time job! ;) Anywho, all I can say about today is that work was crazy busy, the hubs is crazy in pain (but getting better, don't forget the getting better!) and I am just plain crazy!

Our weekend via my ipod...and one canon picture

Lots of movies (Star Trek 4 & 6, Dark Crystal, The Jetsons movie), pain meds, gauze, cuddling, and writing on notepads so that I knew what the heck the hubs needed.






Then I got feeling creative and made these.

Popping in

Just popping in to document today. This morning Jon had all his teeth pulled. Long story short, he's always had terrible teeth (no enamel) and they were basically unfixable, so out they came! He's getting dentures, but for now he's on soft foods and liquids! His surgery was at 8:30am and he was out at 10:30am. We were home with some painkillers by 11am. So far so good! He's up and about after a day of sleep and thanks to those aforementioned painkillers, feeling pretty good! That's it for now!

Fashion Haul

Sad story. Jon did laundry and shrunk my favorite pair of work pants. The store doesn't have them anymore, so I couldn't order new ones. I was very sad. I decided to order a new pair of pants to replace the new ones. I realized recently that I have zero spring/summer shirts that are work appropriate at my new job. I therefore decided to order a couple tops that could be dressed up or down and therefore would work for...well work, and then after work! I also found an adorable dress that I couldn't pass up. Really, I thought about it for a full day before I ordered it! Here is what I got! I hope they all live up to my expectations and don't have to be returned!








so....tired....must....blog....

I am exhausted. I woke up more tired this morning than I was when I went to bed last night. harupm. Anywho, I got home from work and was greeted by a rt 44 diet coke add cherry. my husband knows me so well! totally made my day. my lil bro-in-law is over for the evening, and we ordered Chinese in. Yea! Through it all, I forgot to take any pictures. FAIL! Well at least I blogged about it! :)
In other news, I spent my day off (thank you presidents day) with my mom, sister, niece and nephews in Indy! It was a fun day despite the constant rain and cold temps! I love my family so much! I wish I got to see them more, but I've learned that absence really does make the heart grow fonder! I got home last night and was just bushed, so Jon and I had a quiet night in just chilling. Today was back to work and then the above described evening. Add in some laundry and you pretty much have my life! Well I'm off to hopefully get a decent sleep...er in about 2 hours.
