February Glam Bag

1. Coastal Scents Shadow Palette (8.50): Miniature highly pigmented shadow. This is my second palette for Coastal Scents and I love this brand. Already used it this morning :)

2. Pixi Flawless & Poreless Primer ($29): Shine controlling primer that allows for a flawless long-lasting makeup application.

3. Lash Card ($7): This allows you to apply your mascara without all the mess. Say goodbye to smudging and clumping. It's ideal for separating lashes, layering mascara, maximizing curl, bottom lashes and reapplication. I haven't used this product yet but it sounds awesome.

4. POP Beauty Smokey Lash Kapow Mascara ($18.50): A smudge proof mascara that makes lashes plump & long. My Glam Bag usually contains a mascara so I haven't had to buy it in months. I haven't tried this one just yet, but I'm sure I"ll love it just as much as I've loved the others.

6. MicaBeauty Gel Eyeliner ($30): This highly pigmented gel eyeliner is amazing. The application is so smooth and is completely smudge proof. Score!

7. The bag this month was a cute shiny black number. Love it!

Really looking forward to adding these items to my makeup bag. ISPY never disappoints me. If I were to buy these items individually it would have cost me $93, but I only paid $10 including shipping. I've said it once and I'll say it again - you just can't beat ISPY. I'm not the type to spend my money on expensive makeup without testing it first. 

ISPY was the answer to my prayers. What are you waiting for? Sign up here!

*Note: I'm not sponsored by ISPY whatsoever. I just think they rock!

Atlantis Trip!

We officially booked a trip to Atlantis today.

Oh you know, just that gorgeous resort that sits on Paradise Island and was featured in Holiday in the Sun with Mary-Kate & Ashley. 

#nobigdeal

Sidenote: I'm obsessed with MK&A ;)

Rooms were booked last week, I requested off yesterday and flights were booked today.

In 26-days, I will be happily resting in paradise.

Out of all the times I've been to the Bahamas, I've never been to Atlantis. 

I'm too excited for my own good.

Now that's a good excuse for some bathing suit shopping!

I did get The Brazilian Butt Lift workout last week.

This must be a hint that it's time to start ;)

over and out.

Happenings.

I've been a busy bee the last week.
which would explain my bloggy break.

Let's do a quick catch up. Shall we?

We celebrated my Nephew's 3rd birthday last weekend. I can't believe how much time has passed,
yet I can't remember what my life was like without him. 

After the birthday party, I headed downtown to spend Australian day with one of my co-workers who recently moved here from Australia. Let's just say things got cray. I spent Sunday recovering and going to Kobe for my boyfriend's Dad's b-day.

In the past week, I've had a Bingo night and a trivia night with these ladies.

We didn't win either night. Boo.

I've been spending a ton of time with work friends. Having entirely way too much fun.

My liver certainly needs a break from this crew.

Only had time for one date night with the boy. Oh hey, Cheesecake Factory Chicken Bellagio. 

If you haven't tried it, do it. It's simply amazing.

Went to lunch with some work ladies on Friday. Once 4:00 hit we all gathered downtown for some Happy Hour before hitting up the Solar Bears game for our quarterly team building event. Part of the halftime show was little kids playing and it was beyond adorable. I also got some sugar from the mascot, Shades.

Saturday we had a charity event for Mason. You might remember his story from here.

This was the 2nd annual golf tournament and it was just as successful as the first.

My Superbowl Sunday was probably similar to yours. 

Drinking, eating, singing to Beyonce, watching the commercials, talking to the girls 

and spending a tiny bit of time watching the game.

& now we're all caught up. 

Let's hope I don't go MIA for an entire week again anytime soon.

This was more of a week update but it works, right? ;)

Saw it. Pinned it. Did it.

Over the weekend, I was able to make what I think was the easiest DIY craft on Pinterest.

My Pinspiration

& here is how I made a little gem of my own!

Gather the supplies:

1. Tape

2.One hanger (Already had it)

3. One pack of Shower Curtain Rings ($1.12)

Note: The photo above shows 2 packs of rings because I was going to add more rows, but realized I 

didn't need them when it was completed. If you have more scarves, you may need more than 12 rings.

Tape the curtain rings to the hanger and then tape them to each other. 

Once your first row is done, go back and add more tape to each part that was previously taped. 

This will allow the scarf holder to be much more sturdy. 

Add the second row of rings. Depending on how many scarves you have, you may want to keep going. 

Currently, I'm right at 12 so that's where I stopped.

Add the scarves through the loop and hang in your closet. The total spent on this was $1.12! This is such an easy and cheap way to hang all of your scarves in one place. I, for one, and happy to no longer have them all just hanging together on one hanger. If you have tackled a craft that you found on Pinterest, join us!

Being productive feels good!

When I got home from work on Friday, I was greeted with this little surprise. 

My boyfriend knew that I had a rough day and since he had to go to work, he made sure to pick up a movie he knew I had been wanting to see. I spent the night at home with take out and a movie. Love him <3

On Saturday, I gave myself a nice little mani :)

I also finally tested out my Olay Pro X and I instantly fell in love. I've been using it daily, sometimes twice and my skin feels oh so smooth. For the price, it can't be beat. 

No weekend is complete without spending time with the person that makes me want to be a better person everyday, my Nephew.

I caught Prosecuting Casey on Lifetime Sunday night. My goal is to not keep Casey in the fore front of my mind, but I had to tune in. With no surprise, I hated her just as much as I always have. 

I know without a shadow of a doubt that she got away with murder.

Later that night, I had some drinks with a girlfriend that I hardly ever get to see. We may or may not have also scarfed down some orders of both Queso and mini corn dogs.  

This weekend, I spent a lot of time at home, which was much needed.

I had what I would probably call the most productive weekend of my life.

Here are just a few things I got done this weekend :)

• Made a scrapbook of my Nephews 1st year. I'm only two years late :)
• Completed a Pinterest project that I'll share on the link up tomorrow!
• Did the coconut oil treatment on my hair again. My new weekly routine.
• Organized the spare walk-in
• Organized the bathroom closet
• Organized the spare bathroom closet
• Organized the hall closet
• Did 3 loads of laundry and put them away - huge pat on the back for actually putting them away after they were washed.
• Re-ironed some clothes that have been sitting in my closet
• Put clothes that haven't been worn in over 2 years into space bags

I've also been able to keep up with my Couch to 5K work outs.

I'm currently on week 2. It's getting harder and easier at the same time!

Work has been super busy this week. Just trying to keep up! 

Happy Hump Day! :)

January's Glam Bag

Check out the goodies that Glam Bag sent me this month!

1. Cute Navy Bag - it's taller than the ones in the past and has a neat star pattern inside.

2. Martini Nail Polish in Frappe ($13) - This polish reminds me of Mr & Mrs
 by OPI or, my personal favorite, Essie's Fiji. Looking forward to trying it. 

3. Big Sexy Hair ($6) - Surprisingly, I've never tried this hairspray but have always wanted to.
Adding it to an attempted hairstyle this weekend :)

4. Pacifica Tuscan Body Butter ($7) - My Nephew and I put this on last night. It has a beautiful citrus scent.

5. Jose Maran Argan Oil ($14) - This product doubles as a hair revitalizer and a daily skin moisturizes.
It can help your split ends and give you a youthful glow. Where do I sign up?

6. Soho Concealer Brush ($6) - If you follow me on Pinterest, I have been looking at the concealer process.
So, this couldn't come at a better time. My skin will surely enjoy the silky nylon bristles, too. 

Without including the cute bag that comes with it, these products total $46
if they were bought separately,but I got them all for $10 including shipping! 

I've said it a million times and I'll say it again - GO GLAM! :)
