Ambient® Lighting Edit - Surreal Light

Ambient® Lighting Edit – Surreal Light

I have found my new obsession… In my search for the perfect contour palette, I found Hourglass Ambient® Lighting Edit – Surreal Light.  They have truly created a masterpiece with their Holiday 2016 Limited Edition palette.  Now if I could just get over the words “limited edition.” My Hourglass History Okay, so admittedly, it isn’t much.  I feel like this has been a sleeper company just inside my…

EmojiFace - My New Favorite App

EmojiFace – My New Favorite App

How to love your iPhone more. EmojiFace is an app I came across just scrolling through the App Store. I have had so much fun with this app. It makes you (or a pet or an object) into your very own emoji sets. Of course, I went to the website first.  I can be an emoji! When you open up the app you have the choice of choosing what you want to turn into an emoji. I must admit I’m not sure what this…

New Year... Still falling behind...

New Year… Still falling behind…

I haven’t posted at all this year. It has been crazy. Drama, drama, drama. Ugh. I truly hope this isn’t a pre-tell for the entire year. I made a New Year’s resolution not to make “stupid decisions” like I did in 2015, and honestly I’ve basically already busted that. Goodness, not even through the entire month of January. I think I’ve lost my mind.  So I have decided that I WILL use this blog for…

WWE Monday Night Raw 110915

WWE Monday Night Raw 110915

Time for my Monday night guilty pleasure…WWE Monday Night Raw. Tonight’s episode starts with Triple H talking.  With my eye rolling into the back of my head I listen to him speak about Rollins. I hate to hear that he blew out his knee. Injuries can be really horrifying for one’s future in this business. I don’t care for him, but he is a Superstar. One must show respect.  But wait! What do my ears…

Find YOUR inner bombshell...

Find YOUR inner bombshell…

    Last night was Halloween. I actually dressed up for the first time in years.  I have to admit it was awesome! I was Wonder Woman utilizing the DC Comics Bombshells Halloween costume.  It came with the tiara, gauntlets, and belt with lasso attached.  I loved this costume! And let me say I rocked it! I found my inner Wonder Woman.  Using my own red shirt, a pair of black pants I bought about…

I am to please...

I am to please…

I need a moment to vent.  And after all, what is this site for. To get all the junk in my head out so that maybe it won’t bother me as much.  I had missed posting on here being so busy and had decided on a different subject. But the powers that be decided I needed this… Okay, so this is a Facebook story.  Goodness Facebook. I don’t post much.  Just pictures here any there really.  Usually just…

a real 'Thor' hammer

a real ‘Thor’ hammer

This week a story has been circulating about a guy who made a real Mjölnir.  Business Insider has an article called Someone made a real ‘Thor’ hammer that only he can pick up.  Let me just say I wish I had thought of this!  It is awesome…and not to mention my son would have loved me to no end.  The secret is the fingerprint analyzer.  O.M.Goodness.This guy is a genius. It is so simple really.…

Of My Heart...

I walked into this not expecting anything. Besides you have an outward persona of kinda being rough around the edges. I held my wall pretty good, until I didn't. Being with you, just me and you, you were completely different. I let my guard down just a bit. I didn't realize my wall would crumble. Then, in what seemed like a blink of an eye, you were just another guy. The same as the rest.

Songs say it best...

It's finally here... Sam Smith has made my day...

It’s finally here… Sam Smith has made my day…

Today is the day, the day that Sam Smith‘s “Writing’s on the Wall” video is out.  This means we are just a little bit closer to the date that James Bond‘s Spectre comes out.  I have been listening to this song over and over. It has even come on my Sirius XM the Blend channel.  I know there has been a lot of negativity on this song.  But, rarely do I simply love a song from the moment I hear it.…

A Different Kind of Halloween Pumpkin

A Different Kind of Halloween Pumpkin

I found a great idea on the website mom.me for a different kind of Halloween pumpkin. The article is called What it Means if You See a Teal Pumpkin This Halloween.  The idea is to help with kids who may have food allergies or other health reasons why they shouldn’t eat (a lot of) candy.  If you paint a pumpkin teal and place it outside your door, families know that you are offering something…

Birchbox

For Christmas, I received a six month subscription to Birchbox.  I have to admit I was hooked.  Samples each month of products…some I have wanted to try and some I’ve never heard of before. I am now a monthly subscriber.  So as part of my place to write what I want, I will be reviewing items I receive in my boxes. First, the process.  The first box was a general box…items suited for everyone. But…
