I've seen people post pictures of them and they looked really cool so I thought I would give them a try. There like $8 bucks. Super easy to apply. And I have to explain the glitter part is only on the end so you have to paint your nails a color before applying. Well by time I polished and added my top coat, and then applied the stickers I'm thinking dam these look good. Then I decide I need to put a top coat on top of the sticker. MAJOR FAIL!!! Before my eyes I am seeing them shrivel up. They ended up looking like a crackle nail (which I am not a fan of). They did not come with enough stickers to redo all of them so I just did a few. Well problem with the sticker nails that I redid was they would get caught on things and would drive me crazy. The nails I redid ended up peeling off quicker. Overall I would not purchase these nail stickers again. I've used the Sally Hansen ones as well as the Essie nail stickers and have not had this problem before. For now ill keep the nail art to the pros. <div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW5J594CVj3OH9A7sdGPiav9OcgZk8d6wP2pu6Mtte3_2Qmg63c_6x2448WrNqVg11orvYn8kLvwqbxMf-6_bzQ0CEYx0jBcTLfRbTWDJV-m-0RwfsdXiqWwZ5TE2OU-sowRkabxPgnQ4O/s640/blogger-image-1045906540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW5J594CVj3OH9A7sdGPiav9OcgZk8d6wP2pu6Mtte3_2Qmg63c_6x2448WrNqVg11orvYn8kLvwqbxMf-6_bzQ0CEYx0jBcTLfRbTWDJV-m-0RwfsdXiqWwZ5TE2OU-sowRkabxPgnQ4O/s640/blogger-image-1045906540.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4wo1Cz0VxpqHCvLe6BHmn_txE1mDNOFtHMJSkUGQPNWtoLavLos6KjMCA3QWd9WkzFCDcW6jdSUF6wl-tTcu35b0tEjPwz8qJfhrwC4xHNwLPHSv_5vMC6NHmmvXk7jUUB-HeMSL3bngn/s640/blogger-image-276148173.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4wo1Cz0VxpqHCvLe6BHmn_txE1mDNOFtHMJSkUGQPNWtoLavLos6KjMCA3QWd9WkzFCDcW6jdSUF6wl-tTcu35b0tEjPwz8qJfhrwC4xHNwLPHSv_5vMC6NHmmvXk7jUUB-HeMSL3bngn/s640/blogger-image-276148173.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Lacey May http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799920410928088969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931306953359675924.post-3600157437542170742013-06-05T08:46:00.001-07:002013-06-05T08:46:20.993-07:00Product review.I know I have been m.i.a. And I totally thought being broken would give me more time to blog but that was definitely not the case. When you do nothing and go no where you have nothing to blog about! And I'm sure no one wanted to read the play by plays of my shows. So I'm back up and running (not literally running yet). But I am moving with no boot and life is back to normal 😃. I found some new products that I fell in love with and wanted to share. The first thing that I actually just got is a beauty blender. I know I'm pretty late to the game on this one but I love it. I actually don't use it to apply my foundation. I only use it to apply my concealer. The first time I tried it I just popped it out of the container and straight to my face. The first time using it I was like wtf is the big deal about this thing? Then I googled and figured out wetting it just enough to get it damp gets the best results well at least that's what I have found from my experience. The beauty blender works really well with any pro finish concealer. They go for $20 bucks and you can find them at your local Sephora. They do sell a beauty blender cleanser as well to go with it but I did not purchase that. Once I got home and tried cleaning it with soap and water I instantly regretted not getting it. Then I pulled out a cleanser that I have from Lancôme and it worked like a charm. I clean it after every use to avoid bacteria. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXeuF5gBCivRMbIyd2HOftUAbDaP4yJbipiZClKytZPrjBmQW-Ldbr1k_a_hNlx0wwNr_BibS8N39wzGFLOKm8HkrAD-VlodQwsPBwQKUugswxBNS7QSiWL-Sxf-eG7yWcJd_yPMUXkr9v/s640/blogger-image--731114288.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXeuF5gBCivRMbIyd2HOftUAbDaP4yJbipiZClKytZPrjBmQW-Ldbr1k_a_hNlx0wwNr_BibS8N39wzGFLOKm8HkrAD-VlodQwsPBwQKUugswxBNS7QSiWL-Sxf-eG7yWcJd_yPMUXkr9v/s640/blogger-image--731114288.jpg"></a></div><div><div>The next product that I found was a random purchase. Does anyone remember the brand hard candy? They use to sell there nail polish in Nieman Marcus back in the day. Now you can find the brand at Walmart. Whenever I go to Walmart I make a effort to check out the hard candy stuff. I guess that kid inside of me is still dying for those nail polishes with a cute plastic ring attached. I ended up picking up one of there baked bronzers. The color I got was in tiki which turned out to be not much of a bronzer at all. It's funny because it is a very gold tone and I ended up using it as a highlighter to give me a glowing look. I really love it as a highlighter would not recommend it as a bronzer you will be very disappointed. I think it's great for the summer to add a beachy glow. Plus it's only $6 bucks!</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXuOB6i49SISs5D61TnHfEIGfF9bQa2dsZH-0jHrMr46f5bcChGJSQdnVSZzK3mk0xnSlpa4ERgAlTfd3b6GuBuuRSID-etiXsKUIP3hed19mDokNpOFL6qYhTLP_szddcdX6PmPKR7lPf/s640/blogger-image-1752672382.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXuOB6i49SISs5D61TnHfEIGfF9bQa2dsZH-0jHrMr46f5bcChGJSQdnVSZzK3mk0xnSlpa4ERgAlTfd3b6GuBuuRSID-etiXsKUIP3hed19mDokNpOFL6qYhTLP_szddcdX6PmPKR7lPf/s640/blogger-image-1752672382.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCp4PGjvp_d7Oyz-QMDreyC9vCQZPr8H4wmnbphOKfWZfhzKvIEStB4UlOPYn99ka1lMhyphenhyphenaafJpe85YfOLxpZlQe6lfI6cBs89oTI7blty5QM9fps8ppd42lc3C05FYUwZdXY4sM9hGqX8/s640/blogger-image--330779440.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCp4PGjvp_d7Oyz-QMDreyC9vCQZPr8H4wmnbphOKfWZfhzKvIEStB4UlOPYn99ka1lMhyphenhyphenaafJpe85YfOLxpZlQe6lfI6cBs89oTI7blty5QM9fps8ppd42lc3C05FYUwZdXY4sM9hGqX8/s640/blogger-image--330779440.jpg"></a></div></div><div>The last thing that I finally splurged on has been on my wish list for awhile now. I finally took the plunge and bought the naked pallet. I had purchased a urban decay pallet in the past (forgive me I can't remember the name of it). But it had like 15 colors in it and I still have the thing. The colors in my old pallet were more purples, blues, and grays. All of urban decays eye colors are super pigmented and for getting 12 colors and a eye primer it was well worth it. I'm not one to do eye make up every day. When going to work I keep it very natural so and use a brown tint eye shadow. I have been playing with the colors in the naked pallet so far and I am definitely in love. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJQoz5qTkpyKLGtSc1QWcLUX8a2jbo_w_difLwa2U3J50j-FW2-Qo4shleWAvixvCE2Zl6FUZ0CUkn6aJf767FrDuRyL7ASYvMz5588s2uLdUt21lCg-0-CY5LWuKmWnNf9jre6TW6L1l1/s640/blogger-image--1733923552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJQoz5qTkpyKLGtSc1QWcLUX8a2jbo_w_difLwa2U3J50j-FW2-Qo4shleWAvixvCE2Zl6FUZ0CUkn6aJf767FrDuRyL7ASYvMz5588s2uLdUt21lCg-0-CY5LWuKmWnNf9jre6TW6L1l1/s640/blogger-image--1733923552.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div></div>Lacey May http://www.blogger.com/profile/09799920410928088969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931306953359675924.post-45024142876389942572013-04-15T10:06:00.001-07:002013-04-15T10:06:46.948-07:00Chi<p>I don't know why it had taken me so long to take the plunge and buy a Chi straightner.  Considering some of the other things I blow my money on is just dumb.  I go through phases of how I wear my hair and I have been curling my hair for awhile now that I was ready for a change.  The straightner that I had before was a cheapie that I got from Tj maxx or Marshall's.  So when I used the Chi for the first time I was surprised how straight my hair got.  Call me crazy but I'm a girl that loves volume.....the bigger the hair the better.  I only straightened the ends of my hair and stayed clear of my crown to leave the volume in my hair.  Overall I'm very happy with the purchase especially because it is purple chevron.  Obsessed.  </p>

Since I broke my ankle I have been pretty limited on the things that I could do and the places I could go and that was really getting me down.  Well the day before my birthday I found out that I needed to be on crutches for two more weeks.  I immediately wanted to burst into tears.  At that point I did some searching and praying to the geriatric gods that I could find a knee scooter to rent.  Well I got lucky and found a place that was willing to rent me a brand new one.  Apparently scooters are a hot item in AZ.  So I got my scooter and I've been flying down the halls at work like I'm a little kid on a razor scooter.  On my birthday Rob took me out to dinner and we really enjoyed ourselves.  My mother was out of town so I got to celebrate with her this past weekend at brunch.  The day after my birthday I had a major anxiety attack.  I had just gotten home from work and fed martini and all of a sudden she starts freaking out....low and behold she was stung by a scorpion.  Picture me on crutches, crying and freaking out like a nut job.  Luckily my sister lives close and was able to come get us to take her to the hospital.  It was so scary because she immediately went limp and was breathing crazy heavy.  My heart just sunk in my chest and I felt horrible that she was in that much pain.  At the animal hospital they gave her two shots and told me she just needed to rest.  She was back to normal in about two days.  Thank God.  I have to say I've had a super stressful month and my body can show from it.  I've lost about 10 pds.  I guess breaking a ankle has been the best thing for me to get into bikini shape.  </p>

Since my birthday is around the corner I have been doing a lot of reflecting. The past 6 years have been crazy, chaotic, dramatic and educational. I am a true believer that time changes everything. Now I'm not one of the best people to give advice however I've been there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Be grateful for every opportunity. Early on in my career I took a position working for a entertainment based publication selling advertisement. I look back now and think that was by far the coolest job that I have ever had. Attending so many party's and meeting so many interesting people I really regret not sticking with it. At the time I had let my work life and a shitty boyfriend mentally and physically wreck my world. The reality of it was I was young and fresh out of college. I spent more time taking naps then taking meetings. <br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Sometimes you have to kiss ass before you can kick it. Coming out of college everyone has this dream of making 100k for doing nothing. And like mentioned previously those naps I was taking were reflecting my paycheck. Now being completely cut off by my parents I got motivated quickly to get my shit together. I learned that working 12 hour days were standard. I learned to suck up to get what I wanted because nothing was going to fall into my lap without hard work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Don't be cheap when buying your shoes, purse and vodka. In your 20's you learn who has the best happy hour and what stores have the best deals. I live by this statement. My hangovers only seem to get worse and worse with age. I remember being 18 using a fake ID at the Bronco drive thru liquor store. Most of my Thursday nights were spent consuming bottomless amounts of popov. Drinking it now is the equivalent of rubbing alcohol. I don't know what I was thinking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Don't burn your bridges. You never know when you will need some one's help down the line. This was one of my mistakes I made early on. I've burned bridges and this is one of my biggest regrets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Learn to be selfish. It's really odd to think about this but every job that I have had up until my last position when quiting I would start crying. I would cry because I felt like I was letting them down. When in reality I shouldn't be upset that I am leaving a position but, look at it as taking on a new challenge. And like most people that leave there jobs each jump has been for more money. More money= a better life for Martini.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Dress age appropriate. Now I realize I don't have the body of a 18 yr old. I think it was around 25 when my body really started to change. And when I say change I don't mean get fat. I mean when trying on clothing in the juniors section the cuts were just not flattering anymore. It's like clothing had started to get shorter and shorter. And shorter cuts with older age does not go well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. No matter how much of a troll another woman is to you your obligated to be happy for her when she gets engaged before you. I know deep down inside we all have that one fenemy that we just can't stand. And when the day comes that they are flaunting that rock the only thing you can think is "that bitch'. When in reality everyone has a different life path. I am not the same person that I was at 20, 23 or 25. I cannot image my life any other way and I am incredibly grateful for that. So moral of the story let her have her day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Love and cherish your friends. Your friends are the people who pick you up when you are down. They are the people that you laugh with non stop for hours over the stupidest things. They are the people that you share late nights, early mornings and an endless amount of stories that you would be to embarrassed to shared with the world. They are your sisters from other misters. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. Travel while you can. When your in your 20's its still OK to stay with your friends. More friends= more crash pads. Cheaper trips give you the opportunity to experience more places. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. Don't judge people over insignificant things. Be opened minded. You never know who you will share a true connection with. I know personally in the past I have been judgemental over stupid things .</div>
<div align="center">

When I was on Laurenconrad.com I found a tutorial on the half moon mani. I totally thought that my version would come out like a pinterest disaster. However to my surprise they turned out really cute. I decided to pick bright colors to test this out on. When doing the half moon mani pick out two different colors. Apply the lighter color first and let it completely dry. Then using your half moon stickers apply it 3/4 of the way down on your nail. Paint the 2nd color and leave the sticker on for about one minute for it to dry. This manicure is super quick and super fun. Pretty happy that is was a success! If I can do this anyone can!</div>

I just wanted to give an update on my tan. It</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lasted about a solid 4-5 days. I think the product would be really good if on day 3 I had applied another coat. I did have a few problem areas. For my hands and feet I had mixed the solution with lotion and applied. However, there was a visible difference in color when mixing the solution with lotion. I think next time I will apply the product to my hands and feet with the blotting brush for more of a even look. Like I had said previously in my last post it is very important to have someone else help you apply the solution to areas such as your back and back of your legs. Another thing I was worried about was having that spray tan smell. The first day there was a slight spray tan odor. It wasn't very strong and after the first day the scent was completely gone. Overall I would suggest the product. Next time I am going to try the extreme tan color.

This past weekend Rob took me to Big Bear to go snowboarding. I've never been to Big Bear before and was really excited to explore a new town and some new runs. One of Rob's best friends that lives out in San Diego came up and met us with his girlfriend. It took us about 5 hours to drive up. Since we drove up after work on Friday when we got there it was around 11. We checked in to our hotel which looked like a huge cabin on the outside however the inside not so much. I was kind of surprised because the town only had three late night bars. We grabbed a quick bite to eat and had some drinks til the bars closed. </div>
<div align="center">
The next day we go up early and headed to bear mountain. Once we got to the mountain Shirley and I took a lesson and the boys headed to the top of the mountain. Since I have gone snowboarding before I think the lesson I took was not that helpful to me. Plus they teach in such a large group that you have to fight for a instructors attention. After the lesson we met the boys back at the beach bar and had a couple drinks. I couldn't get over how hot it was outside. It was in the 60's and when I had all my gear on I felt absolutely miserable. At first I didn't understand why everyone there wears sunglasses instead of goggles. But after riding a bit my face would get so sweaty it would drive me crazy. But it was so bright out that I needed to wear something to cover my eyes. I had finally accomplished going down my first intermediate run. My biggest problem is stopping quick. After awhile I started to pick it up. </div>

Once I made it to the bottom of the mountain I had unstrapped my back foot and started to skate to the side. One thing I am completely paranoid of getting hit by someone. I don't trust other people and I feel like there are so many people out there that don't take lessons and don't have control over what they are doing so I am constantly looking behind me to make sure I'm safe. Well, while I was looking back and saw a kid coming in hot towards me I slipped and fell. My body went one way and my board went the other way. I'm a girl and immediately started crying. I knew it was broken. It was such a dumb fall it honestly could have happened at my house if I was messing around with my board. The ski patrol had to take me down to the medic. They took a look at it and told me I needed to go to the hospital. At the hospital I got x-rays and then it was confirmed that I did indeed break my ankle. </div>

At this point I felt horrible because of my accident it ruined the whole trip. We were all planning on going out Saturday night to celebrate St. Patty's but I was in bed by 7 resting. The next morning me and Rob got up early and started the drive home. Driving in a car for 5 hours with a broken ankle is not ideal. However I did enjoy the scenic views. Big Bear is really gorgeous and its hard to believe its just 2 hours from LA. That's the crazy thing about California because it is so big there are so many different area's that look different. We stopped in Palm Springs on the way home and had breakfast at a place called Lulu's. I of course got the strawberry waffle and Rob did a southwest omelet. Palm Springs reminds me of Scottsdale but less douchey. That's probably why I like it so much. The only problem was that because I am on crutches everyone was staring at me. I have to say it was slightly embarrassing.</div>

Rob has been amazing. I feel horrible I have been a complete asshole and just bitching because I am frustrated at the things that I can't do. He has been completely understanding and literally waiting on me hand and foot. I really appreciate everything that he has been doing for me. I don't know what I would do with out him. So this afternoon I'm going to a orthopedic specialist to get my leg set. I am really hoping that they decide to give me a walking cast. I HATE CRUTCHES. I just want to throw them away. Since I am very limited on what I can do I expect to get my blog back together. </div>

<p>I got this necklace from etsy store Olive Yew Jewels.  I absolutely love it!  I typically am not a necklace wearing type of person because I hate feeling anything on my neck.  This necklace is so light and dainty I can't even tell I'm wearing it.  This necklace is great for layering and shipped super fast.  </p>
<p>I am also in love with my new smashbox eye shadow pallet.  I totally forgot about it but my mom got it for me for valentines day.  I joke that it will take me three years to use because lately makeup has been nonexistent.  I love the colors and will definitely have to play around with them this weekend. </p>

Another weekend is over. This weather has been absolutely amazing. I got some sun this weekend (which was much needed). I woke up this morning surprised that I was sun burned. So I started my work out/tanning routine for Vegas. With it being less than 2 months away and considering I will be living in my bikini I'm really pushing myself. One thing I discovered that is an amazing ab work out is the hula hoop. I know sounds kind of crazy right. But, I will hula hoop for about ten minutes with out the hoop falling and holding my hands above my head and I am definitely feeling the burn. I am going to go back to yoga this up coming week as well. Yoga is one of my favorite things to do. It is such a good stress reliever and really works my muscles. I just wish Yoga wasn't so dam expensive! I am personally not looking at loosing weight I just want to tone up. I'm open to other work out options and any suggestions I will gladly love. </div>

This year I have to say that I had the best valentines day I've ever had. Rob surprised me the night before with my gift. He got me a Tiffany's bracelet which I LOVE! Then on Valentine's day it was my choice for us to stay home. I wanted to just spend the time with him. And plus considering how much we go out a night at home was just what I wanted. So when Rob came home be brought me a bouquet for roses and a bouquet of candy. Since I have such a sweet tooth the candy bouquet was my favorite. We had pizza, drank cheap wine and watched cheesy movies....which is def my find of night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday I got the opportunity to attend the Strong Beer Festival thanks to Local Lilly! It was pretty awesome. Since Rob is a big beer drinker he was in heaven getting to sample all of the different IPAs out there. I of course opted for whatever was the lightest at each booth. At the fest I realized that I was a good hula hooper. Rob kept trying to get me to do it so finally when I did he couldn't believe how long I could go for. Hence my new work out lol. The food at the beer fest was disappointing. We decided to split nachos that ended up being cold yuck! Afterwords we made our way to Dos Gringos to play some golden tee (of course) and have some street tacos. Saturday night I was home and in bed by 9 with the start of a hang over from day drinking all day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday so far has been spent running errands. Since we were in bed so early we were up by 8 ready to go. Typical we went to home depot, kohl's, petsmart and target all before noon. I had my first veggie burger today for lunch. I have to say it was pretty good. I also tried the fake chicken wings but those were not my favorite. Because I eat chicken so often fake chicken is the hardest replacement for myself to adjust to. My favourite fake meat option would be the veggie sausages. They taste so good I could honestly go eat one right now. Any who hope everyone is enjoying there weekend! Below are some pics from this week! </div>

Below are some pictures from last nights globes that were some of my favorites.     </p>

I am happy to say that 2012 is over.  2012 for me wasn't horrible however I feel like I did not accomplish some of the things I wanted to.  I spent nye with my love.  We did a dinner at North its one of the Fox restaurants.  I wasn't impressed with it.  I thought that all of there food was too salty and used bacon in everything.  After dinner we went back to the hotel and enjoyed some drinks.  I am obsessed with my dress.  I found some nude heels that matched it perfectly.  And of course accessorized with my j. Crew link bracelet, a silver clutch from a previous nye along with a silver wrap. Below are some pictures from my nye. </p>

Tomorrow's a new day and try to focus on that right?  Here are a few things I'd like to work on personally in the new year.  </p>
<p>1.  Be more open minded and accepting.<br>
2.  I tend to stress myself out over things I can't control I need to learn how to let things go.  <br>
3.  To be more aware of my spending habbits....waking up and checking your bank statement after a night out can sometimes be scary.  <br>
4.  I feel like since I've been dating Rob I have opened up to different things that I would normally never try.  I want to continue to try new things no matter how much I bitch about it in the moment.  (Rob you can hold this one to me).  <br>
5.  I want to travel more.  One of my goals is to go to Europe before I'm 30.  <br>
6.  Make my bed everyday....I know this is a easy one but I need to work on it.  </p>
<p>Enough of my resolutions.  I am beyond excited for nye tomorrow.  This is the first year that I am not hanging out with my friends : ( but me and rob decided we wanted to do a classy dinner and drinks.  I got a dress for Christmas and I can't wait to wear it tomorrow.  And the prepping begins to get glammed out. <br>
I want to wish everyone a safe and happy new year! <br>
</p>

I have to say that this year has been the best Christmas that I have had in awhile. My holiday break started by going to the Cardinals vs. Bears game. Rob and I ended up scoring third row seats! And the icing on the cake...The Bears won! Before the game we tailgated with some of Rob's friends and there parents. I love hanging out with other people's parents especially when they remind me of my own. Always a good time. </div>

On Christmas eve Rob went golfing with my Dad and I wrapped gifts and helped my mom get ready for Christmas day. Later that night we went out to dinner to one of my favorite places Durant's. Durant's on the outside looks like a total dive. But once inside it brings back that old time like 60's feel. They have hands down the best filet in town. And not to mention my favorite desert.....strawberry short cake yum! Later that night me and Rob had exchanged gifts. He did something super clever.....and it was his way of getting out of wrapping my gift. He hid my gift and told me to go find it in the house. So I was searching and on our mantel where the stockings hang was a random moose stuffed animal....I was like OK....Cute....Once I grabbed the moose I realized it was wearing diamond hoop earrings! I love them. I got Rob a Burton travel bag for his snowboard stuff. Slightly bummed because he figured out what I had gotten him long before. But oh well I'm glad he likes it. </div>

On Christmas day my Mother was scheduled to work. However she got called in the morning and was cancelled. Because my Mom was originally scheduled to work my brother in law had volunteered to make our Christmas dinner. We do Italian every year on Christmas and this year was no different. However Jordan learned that cooking is not as easy as it looks. It ended up taking three additional hours then expected. Everything ended up working out because I got the chance to spend the additional time with my family. I really enjoyed all of the gifts that I had received this year. But the one thing that I had asked for was the link J. Crew bracelet....and I got it : ) Hope everyone else got what they wanted this Christmas!</div>

I cannot be in a better mood right now. I have the next five days off of work to spend time with my family. And on Sunday were going to the Bears game. We ended up getting third row seats (Happy Dance). I've never actually sat that close so I am beyond excited. I've been watching my sisters dog for a couple days. I thought it would be nice for Martini so she wouldn't have to be alone so much. But little did I know that Martini has gotten so use to being alone that she doesn't like to play with her. This week I went to a the Brian Setzer Christmas concert with my family. I was kind of skeptical going into it but it was actually really fun. I've been wearing my red skinnes like crazy lately. I've just been in the festive mood. I also found a nail polish that is black with red and green flakes in it which is perfect for those of us who do not like to go over the top on red polish. Below are some pictures from this week. Hope everyone has a good weekend!</div>

If you know anything about me you would know that I am OCD about my eyebrows. I think I became this way because growing up I have always had porcelain skin and light hair. My eyebrows were non existent. I think I started waxing around 16 or 17 and then started coloring in my brows around 20. I think that most people do not realize how much your eyebrows frame your face. I am crazy about waxing and would wax weekly if possible. I think it is very important to find a good waxer that can give you a base shape. I have definitely had some botched wax jobs. I think everyone has. I am currently trying to change my brow shape. However my brows are thinner than I want them to be so I am in that painful growing out stage. Lash cerum works wonders for growth. Do not over pluck your brows or ever shave them. I know the couple weeks that it takes for your brows to blossom maybe painful to look at. I know I at times feel like a gorilla with any out growth but in the end your brows will look Fab! I am currently obsessed with Kylie Jenners brows. I think they are a perfect shape and she fills them in to make them look full. Below is a before and after pic of my brows. Please don't mind my sleepy eyes 5 am wake up calls are not my thing. Also below is a guide from Lauren Conrad on shaping your brows. </div>

I know I have been slacking lately. I basically have something going on everyday up until Christmas. This past weekend we had our annual 12 bars of Christmas get together. Apparently the ugly sweater business is the business to be in because you cannot find them anywhere. Luckily I got mine at goodwill back in November. But for all of those last minute people like Rob they ended up having to make there own. it was a really fun time and it was great to catch up with some people I haven't seen in a while. Plus any chance I get to dress funky is always my kind of thing. Here are some pictures of the gathering. Hope everyone had a good weekend. </div>

This past weekend on date night we went to stand up live. One of my favorite things to do is to go to comedy clubs. We saw Jo Koy. He was hilarious. For those of you that don't know him he is most known for being on Chelsea Lately. I had seen his stand up DVD and thought he was pretty good but in person he was amazing. At one point I was almost crying I was laughing so hard. I cant wait for him to come back. Below is a picture of my outfit from date night. I wore a long maxi dress that you can't really tell and a bubble statement necklace. This weekend martini got her Christmas haircut which was much needed! She had to wait longer then I had liked to get groomed because of her cuts. Lets just say she was a stinky pup for a week to long. While I was out Christmas shopping I found a monogram necklace. I wanted a personalized one but I know there pretty pricey and I just can't justify it. So in the mean time I will be rocking this one pictured below. They come in gold and silver. And again it depends what your initial is because some letters just look better than others. I am so behind on sending out my Christmas cards this year. For those of you that haven't gotten mine yet they will be in the mail this week. Hope everyone has a good week. </div>

Another week flew by. I know I'm a little late on my Friday favorites but here it is. So with it being that time of the year I have been obsessed with the color red. I know I go in these phases where I have to have everything red. Right now I am crazy about red lipstick. Red lipstick can be tricky but I do believe red is a color that everyone can wear. There are so many different shades of red that it may take a couple try's to find your right shade. And for those of you that are not adventurous to try a red lipstick I would start with a berry tone lip gloss and work your way into it. But keep in mind when wearing a red lip to tone down your eye makeup because it gets to be to much. I love how this girls makeup looks. This is a prefect holiday party look. </div>

During the holidays I tend to wear more makeup than I normally would. The next thing that is one of my favorites is the clarisonic. I got one last year for my birthday and it has done wonders for my complexion. It gets deep down into my pores and my face feels amazing after i use it. I HIGHLY recommmed that everyone has a clarisonic. I think it is every important to start a facial routine early on to prevent aging and wrinkles. You can pick one up at Ulta. I know that they are typically $150 around the holidays I've seen them go for $115 when theres a good sale.</div>

The next thing I found was jewelry of course. The side ways cross has been very popular and I have seen the necklaces everywhere. This week on pinterest I found this pin for a side ways cross ring in silver, gold or rose gold. I love the rose gold option. I will be sporting one of these very soon. Hope everyone was a good weekend! </div>
