new year

unfortunately, 
this year for new years i'll be laying in bed 
fat-faced and wisdom-less from getting my teeth out.
thanks to the narcotics i won't be able to have a celebratory new years champagne,
or even dress up.
but
if i were able to go to a party 
this is my dream outfit:

however, 

boyfriend did say 
we could get 
chinese take-out

watch a movie

& kiss at midnight

that sounds 
just right

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

resolutions

hey pals,

hope christmas was full of 

sugary cookies, fun presents, and cozy family times. 

and now it's time to look back on the year and decide what we want to be different in 2012.

what are your resolutions?

in 2012, i want to:

• work out at least 3 times a week

seriously, 

i haven't worked out in about 3 years... 

so it's about time to get my activity on already.

• take more pictures and videos

boyfriend and i are always taking pictures of our families

but we don't have pictures of us together.

i need some memories man! 

memories!!

• take chances for the things that i love

recently i got this fabulous new job all because i took a chance 

i took a chance and started my mary kay business 

now, i'm doing things i enjoy

so i think i need to take more chances... yup.

so what's your resolution? 

it can be anything, big or little. 

and maybe you had an amazing 2011, 

there's no harm in deciding to make 2012 just as great. 

Merry Christmas you filthy animals.

& a Happy New Year.

what is the purpose of makeup?

it's to enhance you're natural beauty.

my essentials:

concealer - my lifesaver. life. saver. 

liquid foundation (tinted moisturizer) - even out that skin tone girl!

bronzer - dear god, bronzer. 

blush - contour those cheeks, meow!

brow filler - it frames that money maker

eyeliner- brown, tops and bottoms please.

lengthening mascara - curl the lashes, and coat those lashes with all you've got

white eyeliner - on the inner corner of the eyes

yeah.... i know. 

it's a lot. 

like, a lot a lot.

but!

is it really? 

not to toot my own horn, but i think i look better than sub par here..

it's simple &

works with any outfit.
