Lip Color.

This post is for all my makeup lovers!

Can your lip color do this?

I bet it can't! This was just under an hour after it was applied, but it does this right away also. In this video I'm wearing LipSense in Peach, topped with Glossy Gloss. If you haven't heard of LipSense yet let me tell you, it is awesome!

LipSense is unlike any conventional lipstick, stain or color. It is a long-lasting lip color, it sets in place,  is waterproof, does not kiss-off, smear-off, rub-off or budge-off for up to 18 hours! There are over 70 gorgeous shades! Nudes and neutrals, bold pops of pinks, purples, browns and reds. One of my favorite parts is that you can layer the colors to make your own unique lip color! How awesome is that! If you have questions feel free to post them down in the comments! 

Addiction.

 I've always been addicted to buying books. So is my husband, makes for shelves full of books here. I tend to follow people on Goodreads and steal their favorite books.

Ready... or not??

I just sat there with a pen and notebook next to me. The only notebook in our house that had more than a couple empty pages.  Purple ink (because its a favorite color around here) covers one page full of school information for my big Kindergartner. How were we there already?

Typical mom thought right? I've seen post after post about "their First Day", and how "I cried in the car", not realizing how fast our big moment is approaching. In August my oldest started Kindergarten. I was ready. Not in the typical "they are driving me crazy" or "I'm so ready to have time without them" type way. There were a lot of big changes happening in our life.

Our Kindergartner started school with kids she's never seen before, not even one was a familiar face. There wasn't a neighborhood carpool, or the excitement of seeing a neighbor/church friend in class- at least not at first.

Just weeks after our 5 year old started school we packed up our first home and moved to our next step. Though we didn't move very far, just to the next city over, and only a couple main roads our lives changed.

We closed one chapter and started another. And that is why I was ready for my oldest to go to Kindergarten.

Farmhouse Love

It's about time I sit down and get started on updating you on my life! Guess what! I moved! In June we found a home that we loved and within a month sold our very first home and by the end of September we were in our brand new home! 

It's been a wild ride & I can't wait to share more with you! There were so many things we learned and so many new experiences we had. And of course you need a tour of the new place! 

We're going with a farmhouse type theme! (Obviously, right?) I spend SO much time on Pinterest & am starting to get some decor ideas there! 

What styles are you loving right now?

What's cookin?

Oh the changes that have been happening in my life! I can't wait to share with all of you! We were hit with snow on Monday! So much fun! All this cold weather has me wanting big warm meals to enjoy at the end of the day. We're kind of in this whole health kick right now at my house. (More on that another day!) I just have to share with you some of the yummy meals we've been making this week!

 (We cook everything like the recipe says for the chicken 

burrito bowls then use it to make fajitas instead!)
