So hectic...

   Ugh I feel so bad for being M.I.A. all this time but man do I need time management.  Baseball season has ended and we immediately jumped into Football for Dakota.  We have had conditioning every single day in my little time period that I actually have free time.  Of course leave it to me to not realize that DUH I can blog from my phone while I'm waiting for his practice to get over everyday.  Sometimes I wonder how I make it through each day hahahah.

   On another note, I have a lot of fun stuff coming up here on my blog!  One thing I am excited about is the Giveaways!  I have a pretty awesome coming very soon for all the moms and dads out there watching!  I don't want to get too much into it though because that will be a new post in a day or two.  I have been thinking about starting polls on my blog also that will end in a prize of some sort. I think before I do that though I might start some polls without prizes to see how well they work out that way first.

   Anyway,  hopefully I will learn to manage my time a little better from here on out and will be popping out new posts daily again!  Everything has just been so hectic lately it's insane.  Well, I hope we get a lot of entries for the upcoming giveaway!  Have a good one!  

 

NumbSkin REVIEW!!

   I received this product for free to try and write a review on!  I was not sure what I would use this product for exactly since there are so many uses but I definitely found a great use for it!  Mosquito bites!  I live in the country in Indiana and the mosquitoes are horrendous this year!  We have sprayed and have citronella candles and what not and we still get bit up when we go out the door!  This product works wonders!

   I have bought anti-itch creams before and they work for a few minutes but that's it!  NumbSkin works for hours!  I applied this product around 5 p.m. when I left for the fireworks show and we returned home around 9 p.m. and I still had no itches!  I was amazed!  After trying the NumbSkin on myself I decided to try it on my kids and it worked just as great for them!  The best part is it only takes a very small dot of product to get the job done!  I love it!

   Not only does it numb mosquito bites but it works for bruises also!  My 6 year old was playing outside and the toy he was playing with broke and he hurt his foot!  He instantly got a bruise and was crying that it hurt about 15 minutes later so I decided to try the NumbSkin product on there also!  It worked great!  Within a few minutes he said his foot was feeling much better!

   I think this product will come in handy a lot!  I have a derma roller coming in the mail shortly and I think I will try it on my face when I use that!  I am also getting a new tattoo very soon and I will be using NumbSkin for that as well!  I can't wait to see how it works!  I highly recommend it!  You can find NumbSkin right on their website:  http://www.NumbSkin.com

   If you decide to try this product yourself please leave a comment and let me know how you liked it!  I really don't think you will be disappointed!

Who tags a kid out in the face???

   So today we had another baseball game for Dakota!  It was his second or third time batting and he was running to third and the kid on the other team tagged him right in the face on purpose!  Who does that?  Not only did that kid do that but another pushed a kid off base purposely...another tagged a kid on his helmet when he didnt even have the ball...what is the deal with this? Who coaches kids like that?  I had to bite my tongue too many times tonight so that I didn't get kicked out of the game but come on...These are 8-10 year olds! They should not be acting like that!  On a good note we did win!! 14-8!  We were 11-1 in the 3rd inning so I'm betting that is why the other team was getting so hostile but it's still uncalled for!  Oh well this was just a little vent!

Amazing Contouring!!

   I have always had a serious love for makeup! I remember being a little girl maybe 3-4 years old and my mom would buy me those cute little makeup kits!  The ones with the little lipsticks that stack on top of each other!  I loved them!  In the third grade I remember getting in to trouble after school because I had brought one of my moms makeup kits to school and did my makeup in the bathroom once school let out.  I'm talking eyeliner, mascara, and bright red lipstick!  I loved it all!

   I have always been more of a natural makeup type until recently.  I always seen all the models and celebs with the beautiful full face makeup and just couldn't figure out how they did it! Until I hit youtube!  As we all know youtube has everything you ever need to know!  That is where I learned to do a basic contouring of the face! I do this every time I apply my makeup now and I love it!  It really does make such a difference!  I will say contouring is something you have to practice and eventually (if you're lucky) master!  This is a small compilation of videos I have found on youtube with some amazing contouring skills!  If you have time please check them all out!  These are definitely some of my makeup/contouring goals!

Please feel free to leave comments and let me know if you go this far when you apply your makeup!  What are your favorite makeup application tips?

Love/Hate Tag...

   Yay time for some interesting fun! I was tagged by Lena over at Wrong Century Write Life to do the Love/Hate game!  How it works is someone tags you and you then have to write your own post with 10 things you love and 10 things you hate! Then go and tag 10 other people to do the same thing!  I like things like this because it helps to introduce yourself and get to know other people better also! Well here goes!!

   10 Things I Love:

1.) My kids!  My kids are my world! Although they drive me nuts on a daily basis I couldn't imagine my life without them and wouldn't want to either!

2.) Food!  I am a serious foodie!  I eat it all and I love it all!

3.) Make-up!  I am pretty serious when it comes to my make-up hehe!  I am not stuck to just one or two brands! I can find something amazing from every brand!  I believe if you look good on the outside it helps you feel good on the inside!

4.) Sparkle!  I am a pretty girly girl so I love all things that sparkle!

5.) Making lists! My husband says I make lists about making lists hehe

6.) Blogging!  I have started soo many different blogs in the past because it has always been something I wanted to do and be good at but I just didn't have the resources or ideas back then like I do today!

7.) Traveling!  I have traveled by car to Georgia and Florida quite a few times in my life! I would love to go West one day!

8.) Baking!  I love to bake! Cakes, cupcakes, brownies, etc!  I have done a few baby shower, birthday, and anniversary cakes! I love playing with Fondant!

9.) Pretty nails! I love love love getting my nails done and/or doing them myself! I recently learned how to apply gel nails myself and I am addicted!

10.) The beach!  I absolutely love the beach!  They are so soothing and peaceful!  The scenery is always so beautiful! Especially at sunset!



10 Things I hate:

1.) Liars! I cannot stand to be lied to! Even the small lies!  I just don't see the point! When you tell one lie you have to keep telling more lies to keep covering all the others! It's just stupid!

2.) Spiders!  Ugh..

3.) Bad parenting!  I'm talking about those parents that allow their kids to be bullies, or the ones that allow their kids to walk all over them, or the parents that just simply do not watch their kids, or the parents that bring kids in to the world and then do not take care of them properly!

4.) Cleaning!  Having 4 kids I swear there will never be enough time in the world to ever have a clean house or an empty sink!

5.) Cold weather!  I love the snow because it's pretty but if I could have snow and warm weather I would like it a lot more!

6.) Laundry! Laundry laundry laundry laundry...need I say more?

7.) Bullies! In school I was always the one to step in when someone was being bullied!  No matter who it was I never liked that!

8.) Not having a swimming pool! (heheh) It gets pretty hot in Indiana in the summer months!

9.) Leather seats!  It never fails!  Every time I get into my minivan in the summer I burn my legs because I always forget the seats are leather and they are always hot!

10.) Mosquitoes! I am a mosquito magnet!  There could be a group of 100 people and I would be the only one getting bit!


Well, that was interesting to fill out! I will say it was much easier to fill in the things I love than it was to fill in the things I hate hehe! Now it's your turn if I tagged you! Be sure to let me know when you get yours up so I can go check it out!
