Getting Ready Ahead Of Time.

Good day my dear blog.  Today has actually been a pretty trying day.  I mean it's nothing my husband or my kids have done but it's just been one of those days but I'm not going to let that get me down.  Thankfully we're heading to church tonight so we can all get our praise on so THANK YOU LORD for that. 

So what in the world is the picture above this post all about?  WELL since I hate trying to decide what to wear as I'm getting ready to go I couldn't decide what to wear so I wanted to take pictures of both outfits to try to figure it out...I regret not taking pictures of the shoes though but oh well life goes on.  I'm  Leaning more for outfit #2 for tonight so at least I now know what I'm going to wear right?

Well I just wanted to share a quick random post on what's going on with my for today.  I'm still doin a lot of knitting and crocheting but I had to put those on hold for today since I have too much house work to get done today before I leave for church tonight. 

What needs to go down this weekend? 
*Time with my babies
*Casual date night in with my husband
*Grocery shopping
*Doing my HAIR!
I can do this!  Be Blessed everyone.

I'm so tired of my braids.

So after looking at all these fabulous women on youtube share their natural hair journey I decided to start one of my own.  I plan on taking out my interlocks and I'm going to wash my hair and twist it up tonight.  I'm excited to share more with you later.  Here's to a new beginning.

Nail Review Part Two.

I absolutely love how fun and easy applying this L'OREAL Nail Lingerie is.  I originally thought that i was going to have to stick the sticker on my nail then peel it back but as it turns out, all you have to do is carefully apply the sticker on and file the remaining piece off.  The downfall to this product is that you don't have too many to play around with and it's a little on the pricy side but it's well worth the money.  I plan on using this again.  This gets Five Stars.  Try this out!!  Be Blessed everyone.

UPDATE: After reviewing my receipt from my target I found out that I payed a little over $5.60.  I've had this application on my fingers for a little over 24 hours and they are still on and looking very pretty.  

What I Found Today.

Hey my lovely readers how are you doing today?  Well while shopping for some things that the family needed at Target I came across to pretty awesome things that I really wanted to get and so I did.  The first item that I found is the L'Oreal Colour Riche Nail Lingerie and the L'Oreal Colour Riche neon lip stick.

he first thing I'm going to talk about is the lip stitck.  So the story of this purchase starts back to when I was at the mall on Saturday and I wanted to buy a really cute neon lip color because I have plenty of lovely colors already but I wanted a color, besides red, that was going to make my lips really pop so when I came across a pretty neon pink color at the M.A.C store I really wanted to buy it.  But I also didn't want to pay too much for a lip stick that I may or may not like so left the color there and opted to shop elsewhere for my lip color.

I found this product at Target and the first thing that I thought was "Wow that pink is really pretty so I gotta try it" and I did.  The color is very pretty on my skin and I like it even more when I add a small touch of gloss.

So what's the downfall to this color?  Well while watching a youtube video, a channel that I will not name, I came across a cute girl who did indeed get the M.A.C neon lip colors and they looked AMAZING on her BUT being that her teeth were not as white as they could be the color made her teeth look EXTRA yellow which, of course, isn't attractive AT ALL.  So after seeing the video I wasn't sure if it was just her really yellow teeth, the quality of the video or if it was the color of the lipstick that made her teeth look worse than what they truely were.

Well I'm not one that has crazy fake looking white teeth but I do whiten my teeth on the regular but being that I missed one or two whitening rituals that I do myself the pink made my teeth look worse than what they were as well.  So when using a color like this on your lips be sure that your teeth are clean and white or the color of the lip stick my bring out the stains, plac color, ect on your teeth as well.

Other than that the lip stick feels great on my skin and I plan on using this color later on this week.

Will I recommend this?  Yes.


 Now I haven't tried this yet because I haven't done my nails yet but this looks really fun.  I didn't check the price when I got this but from what I checked online it runs to close to 8 dollars but it comes with 18 stickers so this will last me a long time.  I'll give you my thoughts on this once I'm done doing my nails.  Wish me luck!!

My First Clothing Review Of The Year

So my husband blessed us all with a lot of cute stuff so I won't be able to write a review on EVERYTHING but I will be able to write about some stuff.  The first thing that I'm going to talk to you about is the Boxy Dolman Sweater that I purchased at Forever21 for $17.80.

Well let me tell you on how I became a fan of dolman sweaters in the very first place.  There isn't much to say except that one day while looking for clothing on the forever21 website I came across a cute sweater that seemed to have extra fabric underneath the armpit and I just couldn't get over how pretty the extra fabric settled over the model so that's how I became a fan.  So after a good hour or so of looking for stuff to order I came across this sweater online and had to have it, I then realized that I was going over budget so I sadly had to ax it from my list.  BUT my husband went ahead and bought for me at our local mall which made me feel super special.

So what do I think of this sweater?  I think that this item of clothing is just as pretty in person, which is a great big plus because I know that I can't say that about everything that I see on the internet and then come across it in person.  I believe it to be something that could be worn all throughout the year here in sunny Cali and i would defiantly refer this to a friend.  The one thing that  I would say is that if you're one to wear rings be careful to now snag the sweater as you're putting the sweater on or off, and if you're not one that likes to show your tummy a cute cami underneath is all you need to finish this cute top off.  I will most likely pair this will cute holey shorts or leggings with some wedges.

Shopping Maddness!

So this weekend has been a crazy and busy weekend for my family because we've been going all over the place to buy clothes and shoes for this upcoming year.  I'm SO happy to almost be done because it's been a long process but it's also been a fun one, and not to mention that it's pretty cool to see our kids so excited:-) 

So what did I end up getting for myself this year?  Well last year I mainly stuck to t shirts and jeans, a couple of high heels and dresses for church but this year I decided to step it up in my wardrobe and purchased less t shirts and more blouses, leggings and dresses instead.  I did that for the main fact that I feel that I'm heading in a different direction this year and what better way to start that awesome feeling of moving forward with changing up my wardrobe a little bit.

Where did I go for the kids this year?  Well we mainly did all of the kids church clothing at Sears but finished EVERYTHING off at Target which was a real change for us because we usually did all of their regular stuff at Sears and their dressy stuff at Sears but it worked out differently this year and I'm not upset about it one bit.

Where did I go for myself?  I did A LOT of my shopping on Venus.com for my more formal stuff but I mainly did my shopping at The Closet (for my shoes) and Forever21.  Of course I went to several other places as well but the big bulk of my things came from those two places.  I don't have any pictures at the moment but I do plan on posting some here for fun.  I know that this has nothing to do with knitting or crocheting but I thought that this would be a fun twist to what I usually write about.

I do want to write a review on a particular store I went to in the mall and what I thought about the products there but I won't be able to get that done till later on today, so till then be blessed everyone and I hope you all have an amazing day.

Be Blessed!  Be Inspired!

Something A Child Or Infant Will Enjoy.

This will surely grab the attention of a little one:-)  I can't wait to make more in different colors!!
