TEMPTU - again!

For those of you who follow my blog you're probably just as annoyed with me as I am with myself. Here we are 6 months later and I'm STILL trying to make the decision on whether or not I should make the leap and get the Temptu airbrush system.  

I've been having so much trouble trying to find a good foundation lately and I just can't stand it anymore. I'm dying for a change and this little beauty is exactly what I think I need. 

Right now, they are running a TV special on their website. It's $29.95 to try it out. If you decide to keep it, you will have 4 payments of $49.95. If you decide to pay for it up front, you can save $25 so the total comes to $205. I've been researching this for awhile and this is the cheapest I've found so far. 

It comes with the airbrush system, foundation, blush, highlighter, and an application CD. 

Based on my skin tone, I would get warm beige as the foundation

Washed Rose to make my cheeks the perfect color pink!

& for my highlighter, I would choose Pink Pearl. Reminds me of Softlights in Shimmer by Smashbox :)

I told you I have been researching for quite some time ;)

The only thing I need to do now is just hit the order button.

My birthday has passed and Christmas isn't for a few months. Maybe I can justify it by saying it's a present to myself before starting grad school in 3 weeks? 

I don't think I'll ever stop obsessing over this until I just take the leap and order it. 

Why can't money grow on trees? Life would be so much easier for me if it did.

It's OK Thursday

I'm still alive. This week, I don't know that I've been busier than I have in the past, but for some reason it's been harder for me to blog. The weekend was filled with drinks, Call Me Maybe Karaoke, slip n slides and LOTS of alcohol - more on this later!

It's OK..

.. that one of my best friends is moving to South Florida for law school in exactly one week. It's only OK because we've figured out she is only re-locating 180 minutes away. It sounds much better that way :)

... that I have 3 birthday celebrations to attend this weekend and I don't think I'll even be able to get through one of them. Hopefully, they are all downtown in the same location on the same night. I already know that isn't the case, but I'm hoping at least two of them are :) I just get so tired going out every weekend!

... that I didn't do anything to get ready this morning and I look like crap.

... that I have a dentist appointment today for my 6-month cleaning. This is OK because the dentist has never really bothered me and I get to leave the office a little early. YAY!

... that I lost my infinity bracelet that Katie gave me as a bridesmaid present on the slip n slide on Sunday. I really loved that bracelet and I'm obsessed with infinity symbols now. I currently have my eye on this gorgeous ring. I'll take it in gold & silver, please :)

.. that I'm DYING to decorate a  home. It's no secret that I'm obsessed with white right now when it comes to home decor. It's simplistic elegance at it's finest. 

 & these dark walls with the beautiful white trim is just too gorgeous for words. Don't be surprised if you see this exact thing in a future post when I get into a permanent home.

Please let that be soon. Please, oh please. 

All over the place.

That's where my thoughts are so that's where how my post will seem too! Sorry for the insanely random post.

I want to be laying right here with a good book for a week straight without being bothered. Too much to ask?

 This is just the cutest little summer outfit. Fashionable yet fun!

 This quote was probably made for me - at least it should have been!

I have a meeting with my Graduate Advisor immediately following work and I'm nervous. I'm still going back and forth about whether or not Grad school is a good idea for me. The Mass Communication track is great to have, but I don't know how necessary it is in the industry that I'm currently in or would like to go in the future. So many thoughts, so little time. 

Hopefully I'll be in a better blogging mood tomorrow!

Me, Myself & I

1. What's your biggest phobia?I probably have more phobia's than most people. I can't help it, I'm a paranoid person who thinks of everything that can go wrong in any situation. My biggest fears are heights, driving in the rain, flying, everything in lakes or the ocean, driving next to a semi and driving on bridges over water. I always say I'm going to die while driving on a bridge, in the rain, next to a semi and a plane is going to crash into me and we'll fall in the water where a shark or alligator will eat me. I know, I'm weird. 
2. If you could relieve any day of your life, what would it be and why?If you are a follower of my blog this should come as no surprise to you, but without a doubt, 1,000 times over, I would chose the day my Nephew came into the world . It was a perfect day for many reasons and I will cherish this day for the rest of my life. It's not just because I know what a gift he was in my life, it's also because of the peaceful feeling it brought to me. It was as if my world was complete in that moment. I stayed in the hospital with my sister while friends and family came through and it was just perfect. 

3. If you could choose to be a certain age forever, what would it be?Probably 10. You know what they say, skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts. I would have still have still had that naive outlook on life. I never would have gone through my first heartbreak, pressures of college or jobs. My understanding would have been enough to take care of myself, but not know too much of the evil.
4. Which celebrity do you get mistaken for?I've never understood why people think I look like Kendra Wilkinson. Even as I look for a picture of her, I still don't see the resemblance, but it's who I get all the time. Whether I have bleach blonde hair or low lights they still come up with the same person. 

5. What songs are included on the soundtrack of your life?Hanson- MMM Bop. I was IN.LOVE. people.Whitesnake- Here I Go AgainBon Jovi- I'll be there for youTaking Back Sunday- Cute without the 'E'Dashboard Confessionals- Hands DownHilary Duff- Come Clean
I literally could go on forever. Music is so beautiful and can truly transport you back to a past time in an instant. I'm the girl that is still rockin' the same CD's from 2004. Yep, no shame here!

Birchbox

The July Birchbox just came in and I hate to say it but they left much to be desired. There is really nothing that I'm crazy about out of this pack. 

1. Colored headphones: I suppose these are cool, but have nothing to do with me trying out make up. 

2. Oscar de la Renta sample: This scent actually smells amazing, but I wish I could get more out of it than 4 sprays.

3. Jouer moisture tint: This claims to even out imperfections and cover fine lines. I'll get back to you once I try it  for myself:)

4.Boscia Green Tea Blotting Linens: These little towelettes allow you to wipe away perspiration and oil without disturbing your make up placement. Sounds pretty neat. 

5. Eyeko Green Eyeliner: I'm excited to try this specific brand, however, I hardly think I'll be wearing green eye liner anytime soon.

All-in-all the products seem kind of cool, I just don't think they match what kind of look I'm going for or the things I'm interested in. I guess I'm just being a little too picky. I'll be back with updates once I try these! 

Fashion Friday

I found a new link up that I'm really excited about doing today. It's called Fashion Friday :)


Something about white right now is just grabbing my attention. You can dress it down for your weekend summer days or dress it up for the office or a night out. It's the perfect mix of fun, sophistication and elegance. Not to mention, if you're tan, your skin will look fabulous! 

 

I"m also loving these two pairs of white skinny jeans with the bright tops and accessories. The second picture illustrates the perfect way to pair two separate bright colors with white.

In.Love. 

What's your favorite fashion look this week?

Back to school ...?

One of the hardest decisions that I've had in the last few years is what I'm going through currently. I hate to bore everyone with the indecisiveness (again) but I feel like I just need some advice on what to do. 

There are so many positive's that can come from going to grad school, but there are always going to be cons. Unfortunately, the money is the biggest con for me. To put things in perspective, I already owe 20,000 in loans from my Bachelor's degree. In order to get my Graduate degree I would need another 13,000. That's 33,000 in student loans. I just don't know if I can stomach that. I'm currently paying $300 a month for 10 years. Yes, I did say 10!! I really don't know if I can afford more than a $300 payment for loans alone. I mean, home girls got other bills too!  

I'm trying not to be so negative but it really is such a tough decision to make. Anyone else had to make this decision? What did you choose?

I'm just at a loss.
