The Secret to Flawless Foundation

I have heard about make up sponge blenders for awhile now but I finally decided to give one a chance. Since trying the makeup sponge blender I have absolutely fallen in love! I came across "Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge" and decided to give it a try because of its great price.  This sponge is compared to the original beauty blender.  The original beauty blender runs around $20 and the Real Techniques sponge runs as low as $4!  According to all of the reviews I have read, it works just as great as the beauty blender.  All you do is get the sponge wet and squeeze the water out.  Then you use the sponge to apply your foundation flawlessly to your face.  I even use it to apply my concealer.  I have never had clear skin, so this makeup sponge is a blessing.  I now love doing my foundation in the morning because it is so easy!  The sponge creates an airbrushed look.  If you don't already use this sponge in your makeup routine, you ...

The Secret to my Beach Waves

It seems like no matter where I go I am always getting compliments and questions on how I curl my hair.  I have been curling my hair the same way for years now, so if you are creeping through my pictures and want to know how I curled my hair, this is how.  I was never a big fan of tight curls, so I figured out a way to make them loose and wavy.  Here is the secret to how I curl my hair! Step 1.  I blow dry my hair half way and then I let it air dry the rest of the way dry. Step 2.  Once my hair is dry I spray it with a heat protectant.  I use the garnier fructis brand. Step 3.  I straighten just the ends of my hair.  I have naturally wavy hair and when I do my beach waves look I like the ends to be straight. I just started doing this because I think it gives it a messier look. This is just a personal preference.  This step can be skipped. Step 4.  To curl my hair I take a section of hair and wrap it around the curling iron, away ...

KEEP Collective

If you all haven't noticed from social media, I have started selling KEEP Collective.  For a long time now I have been looking into getting a second job for the nights and weekends.  I have never done it since that would mean taking away time with Mason.  One day I came across KEEP Collective on social media and I loved the jewelry.  I had always been skeptical about direct sales but I thought to myself as long as I made back what the kit cost me to start it would be worth it, so I decided to join and start selling KEEP.  As it turns out, I have fallen in love with KEEP! I can work from anywhere as long as I have my cell phone.  Not only have I made what my kit cost me but I have made much more!  I have also earned free product along with my weekly paycheck.  I am so glad I made the decision to join KEEP.  If anyone wants to join me in selling KEEP please feel free to message me!  Also if you want to host a social and earn your own free ...

Turning 21

Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted anything. It seems like I have been so busy lately.  But I am finally settled into the new house and Mason is at his dad's for the weekend so I have some time to write (actually type). I turned 21 not too long ago, which to a lot of people is a milestone birthday.  You see so many people post about how "I've finally made it" or something about their horizontal drivers license.  When I turned 21 I didn't feel that way.  Everyone kept asking me if I was excited to turn 21, and honestly I wasn't that excited at all.  All of my friends were more excited than I was.  I already felt like I was 28 so turning 21 wasn't a big deal to me at all.  I have so much responsibility in my life that being able to go to a bar and drink isn't the highlight of my life.  I completely skipped that stage of my life and I don't think there is any going back.  The highlight of my life is getting to spend time with Mason a...

Flat Tummy Tea Review

I am sorry it has been so long since I have written a post.  I have been so busy lately, but I wanted to make sure and share this with everyone.  Recently I came across flat tummy tea online. I researched it and read many reviews when I finally decided to try it out.  I didn't order it because it is supposed to make your tummy flat, but I ordered it because it helps with bloating and has many health benefits.  Ever since I have gotten my gall bladder removed there are certain foods that I cannot eat and a lot of times all food in general makes me sick.  I have been using the flat tummy tea for 1 week now and ever since the first day I have not gotten sick (I usually get sick daily).  I have not paid attention to how it has affected the size of my stomach but from the reviews I have seen people do get good results in that area.  I will say that this tea does not make you magically lose weight.  It is just a cleansing tea.  It is a miracle to h...

The Next Chapter

Mason and I have made it to another chapter in our lives.  We are in the process of buying a house! It is going to be a great change in our lives.  Mason will finally have a backyard that he can play in! That means someone will have to move his trampoline...and I am hoping it wont have to be me! :)  We will still be living in Ainsworth.  If you want to go check out the house you can follow this link https://www.mundhenkeagency.com/properties.php   (Martin House) Everyone has been so supportive throughout this process and for that I am thankful!  I never would have imagined I would be a homeowner at 20 years old but then again I feel a lot older than 20.  Having worked in the mortgage department at TCB has definitely helped through out this whole process.  Because of that I know what I am getting myself into and I am not walking into it as blind as a bat.  I am so happy that I can finally give Mason a permanent place of our own to call home....

GoodNites Tru-Fit Real Underwear Review

Ever since Mason has been potty trained and wearing big boy pants it has been a struggle at night time to get him to wear a diaper.  He cannot yet make it through the night without wetting the bed.  I went through a phase where I would have to duck tape Mason's diaper on in order for him not to rip it off in the middle of the night.  I had recently used up all of his diapers so I went to the store to check out what my options were.  I found the perfect solution to my problem!  I found GoodNites Tru-Fit Underwear.  They are real underwear that you can insert an absorbent pad in.  I was skeptical about how well they would actually work because Mason's diaper is usually full in the morning but I was pleasantly surprised!  I have not had one leak on me yet. I had never heard of GoodNites underwear before but I am so glad that I found them! No more diapers for Mason! Below I have posted a link to purchase GoodNites Underwear.  I have not yet shopp...
