Rain, Rain Go Away that's What All My Haters Say


Hey dolls! I was going to post another makeup tutorial today but I think I am going to save it for a later date because I REALLY need to clean my dirty house. Apparently my house was the party house this week because any given day since Monday night I have had a shit-ton of ppl at my casa.

So instead of a makeup post enjoy my lovely little rant about my party life.

 yeaaa, so if you ever decide to take an Aderall(30mg) to help you get your housework and errands done, DON'T. I was awake for 24 hours, I couln't sit still, and I was grinding my teeth so much that my jaw still hurts. I promise I'm not a druggy lol I just have a bit of ADD and tend to get sidetracked. Let's see in short...beer, beer, and more beer, spades, noise complaint from the neighbors and ONE MESSY HOUSE. Wish me luck! Makeup tutorial tommorow!

Btw these pictures are totally random and have nothing to do with this post! (they were from this weekend though) Enjoy!

2011 Clear the Clutter; Drama Queens and Other Junk I Don't Need

  

Girls who live the life of their dreams don't get there by being dainty and darling. That might mean breaking a few hearts and habits along the way especially the one of apologizing for who you are.

A couple of days ago I made a post about my new years resolutions this year and how I had some different goals than I usually do ever year. I wasn't going to post them but I have been reading all the other bloggers resolutions today so I'm in the mood to share :) lucky you.

1. Stress less, instead of worrying abt. things I can't change, I am going to be grateful for the blessings.
2. Learn how to make homeade bread (without a breadmaker)
3. Visit the art museum dowtown
4. Teach myself balance, through yoga

5. Take an awesome vacation like bahamas or hawaii
6. Be able to have a complete conversation with my bf's mom in Romanian
7. Take vitamins everyday
8. Wear my seatbelt ha ha we have already discussed this one
9. Wake up earlier and enjoy the day without rushing
10. Clear the clutter out of my life, drama queens & other junk I don't need

11. Actually read my bible sometimes
12. Stop using the words, I'm sorry. When most of the time I'm really not.
13.  Learn how to forgive someone who wronged me in a terrible way.

Fun Pin-up look



Please excuse the severe emo-ness of these XL photos taken by yours truly.....I wanted you guys to be able to see the makeup closeup. This look is super easy, fast and very retro. What you will need:
1. A soft bandana
2. Foundation (my pics are makeup forever and revlon photoready)
3. Blush-Mac buff
4. Mascara- Mac any will do
5. Liquid eyeliner- Revlon (it's cheap and works great)
6. Hard Candy- kaleyedescope duo
7. Lip gloss- Buxom babe Vanessa (makes your lips tingle!)

To fold the bandana, first fold it like the pic in half and roll it over its self until you have a headband. Instead of tying the knot underneath your head make a bow on top. Voila Rosie Riveter!

The eyeliner is the most important part of this look! Make a small wing out from your eye but not so much that is looks too much like a cat eye.

Use the brown eyeshadow in the crease of your eyelid to create depth and the shimmer color underneath the brow.

Foundation first. eyes. blush. lips. bandana. PIN UP!

Hello 2011!

I LOVE New Years, every year I get ridiculousy way too excited about making a new, new years resolution. Ever since I can remember, I have welcomed the oncoming year with a page-long list of new endeavors.

 This year I am going to do my list a little differently. Instead of your regular-ole- lose ten pounds/save more money/ clean out the garage etc. I've decided to focus more on the small things, like this week I decided I would drink at least two bottles of water a day, and start wearing my seat belt. ( I know totally random with the seatbelt thing and I should already wear it save it, I know, I know.)

 I always start the year out with great intentions and am hardcore on my diet and exercise but somewhere (usually about 3weeks later) I get completelyyy burnt out. So for my 2011 resolutions; simplicity and balance for my life! (If I had balance I wouldn't have eaten half a bag of puffcorns while writing this post...fml)  

So if you are anything like me try making your 2011 resolution simpler by making goals for each month, week or day! Happy New Years!

I Heart Yoga


Yoga teaches us to cure what need not be endured and endure what cannot be cured.
-B.K.S. Iyengar

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about balance. Recently I watched the movie eat, pray love (watch it you will love it!!) and I haven't been able to stop thinking about how much I am like the main character. If you have ever been through any kind of heartbreak you can relate. Julia Roberts learns how to create balance through friendship, devotion and meditation.

I love that yoga is a practice of quieting your mind. My entire life I have had a hard time balancing. It always seemed as if I were sucessful in one area of my life another would suffer. If you have never tried a yoga class before, it is much more than just a series of stretching exercises. Life is so fast paced that even when my body slows down my mind is still racing.

My favorite type of yoga is Vinyasa flow. It consist of a pattern of poses that glide and flow together with each inhale and exhale. If you live or are ever visiting nasvhille there is a wonderful yoga studio in green hills http://www.sanctuaryforyoga.com/ Here is a list of some of the benefits of yoga. Give yoga a try and teach yourself to balance your love life, friendships and your health!

-Namaste

1. Stress Reliever
2. Detox for your body- (works like a massage loosening the toxins in your body)
3. Weight loss! Your body holds a horomone called Cortosol that keeps you from losing weight especially in your midsection. This horomone is directly related to stress.
4. Balance- Yoga not only helps you learn balance in your body but also teaches principles that promote balance in every area of your life
