HAPPY SHOPPING!!!
XOXO

Super Inexpensive shopping

Hey guys!!

So, first, don't tell nobody, cause I'm 'sposed to be on a budget!! Have you ever heard of Amiclubwear? Ok, for the most part, it's exactly what it sounds like...a teen-bopper site with lots of quasi-hooker gear for the club (sometimes you do need to hooker out for your man at home ladies)...what you don't know though, is that there are some fantastic finds!!! Check it out. Right now, they're having a July 4th sale. You get an extra 30% off on EVERYTHING on the site!! All you do is enter promo code: JULY30 upon checkout by June 21 (That would be Monday) to take advantage. Look what I found for $12.99 PLUS and additional 30% off...

I'm fighting with EVERYONE...

I don't know if it's the baby, or if I'm just that tired of shinanigans. I'm fighting with just about everyone in my life. My best friend and I have been in and out for the past month or so, I've BEEN fighting with my quasi-beau for the length of my pregnancy (6 1/2 months), and lately, I've been really really flipping out on my oldest daughter. She's 16 and really feeling like she's grown and entitled.

Again, I feel like it's my fault. I've spoiled her to no avail. She has chores that are her responsibility, but she never does them, and I don't say anything until I'm totally pissed off, then it becomes flipping out because she's huffing and puffing, and rolling her eyes, and slouching her shoulders, and stomping her feet. WTH!?!? When I was her age, I knew what I had to do. I got up and did it. No, I wasn't perfect, but dammit, I was nowhere near her.

Is 16 too late to put my foot down? It's all of the extras that drive me over the edge though. The huffing and what not. I can't take it, it makes me so angry. But then, she wants to know why I've changed, why I'm always angry, why I'm always cursing and yelling..really??

Do we as parents create selfish children?

So over the weekend, my daughter did something that threw me for a loop and made me flip my lid. Looking back, it probably wasn't that big of a deal, even in the moment, I felt like I was having an out of body experience...I just HATE that she gets so selfish with her little sister at times. She's 15 and her sister is 3!! I guess a part of it is that she was an only child for 12 years, but she's got lots of cousins and she's NEVER been selfish with them. Then again...it wasn't every day. There's an argument for everything.

My question though, did I do this? Did I give her too much?? Have I enabled her?? I definitely didn't want her to have the life I had. Though it wasn't the worst, it was definitely not the best. I never wanted her to want for anything, and I didn't want her cleaning all the time...now, I can't get her to do anything almost without a huff and a puff and feet stomping, eye rolling...WTH...It pisses me off, but also makes me sad at the same time. I've taken her to shelters during the holidays to serve food, so that she knows this is not the life she HAS to have...Again, we are not the Jones', but maybe we're the Smiths...lol. She just seem so ungrateful...and the selfishness toward her sister even??! Oh, that burns me up!!!

MAC eyes and pigment blog sale!!

As promised ladies and gents...here is the follow up to my lips sale.
Shipping to US is $3 per item, over two, I will just use the flat rate box for $5.95 to save you some dough!! Let me know if you're interested, make me an offer...you never know!!




This is the Devoted Poppy compact with mirror and 213 SE brush. Colors include: Sweet eyes, young thing, amorously, awake, in awe, fall deeply. I have swatched 5 of the 6 colors, never used it. SOLD






Next, we have the Fafi Eyes 1 palette. It has no mirror, but it does have a protective plastic insert. I've only swatched these once, asking $20




Oooooo, glitter liners. Enbroze & Blitzed. Both brand new, never opened. Asking $12 each.



Remember the Brushed Metal-X collection? These are creme shadows in Gold Spice which is cracked for some reason, asking $13And Gilded Ash, brand new, asking $15



Repotted Amber Lights. I purchased a replacement before I found out how to repot on YT...I love YT. So it's more of a creme-shadow now, and a true steal at $7. It was new when I dropped it!!




Mini-Pigments!! I have all of the large sizes in these, no idea how I got them, probably a gift set or something. Anyway, all brand new, Tan, Quietly SOLD, Pinked Mauve, and Violet, asking $8 each.




Do you recall Shimmer Souffles?? These are kind of like pigments, but in a sort of souffle form. They dry firm like paints...Really nice.. ALL SOLD
Shimmerati - 1/2 full asking $10
Gold Mousse - used 2wice asking $18
Adorn - 3/4 full asking $14




Last, but not least Large Pigments. So, here's the deal with these, they don't have names on the bottom, so I'm thinking I may have gotten these from ebay...you know what that means, they may not be authentic. I've never used them though, and to swatch, I used a spritz of fix plus to give you the true color pay off. They are lovely.
"greyish silver"
"bronzy"
"green" I think this one is authentic, but no sticker
"blue"
"peachy"
Asking $12 each

Don't be afraid to make me an offer, you never know. What's the worst I could say?? No. LOL...Have a great week....

Holla at your girl!!

Birthday blooooz...

So, yesterday was my birthday...For the very first time that I can remember in a long time, I was extremely sad. I do have a lot going on in my life right now, but I was overly sad yesterday. Everything made me cry. Everything. TV, people wishing me happy birthday, just everything. Maybe it's the baby hormones...I don't know...though, again, this is my 3rd September baby, so I've been pregnant twice before on my birthday. I don't think that was it. My family is pretty big on birthdays...we ALWAYS go to the birthday person's house with a cake and just good conversation. It doesn't matter what day of the week, we just do it. I called everyone and told them not to come, I was just not feeling it and didn't want to bring everyone else down.

My day ended up being ok, I was coaxed to lunch with my baby's dad...that was nice...and he gave me a gift or two...so again, it ended ok.

What I can say though, just do something to make yourself happy at least once a day. If it's calling a friend, watching a favorite program, blowing bubbles with your kids (or alone...lol)...find something. Life is too short. Call someone and tell them you love them. Apologize. You don't have to say for what...maybe you didn't do anything, maybe you did...maybe they just need to hear it.

Depression is real.

MU Sale!!!

Hey guys...ok, so...I' ve been doing some cleaning and found some items that I NEVER use. I figure someone else could use them. So...here they are.
