Blonde, Sweat & Wine

Well, I finally got the courage to do another video tutorial for my week day routine. Please bear with me, as I am terrible at this. I definitely have a tendency to mumble and go on forever so I will be growing and hopefully getting better with each attempt. This is exactly what I do every morning before I head off to work. Hope everyone can handle this learning process and benefit from my personal experience!  I did all this before heading out to surprise my dad for his 60th birthday! My stepmom and I were secretly planning all week and it was a success!! It has been a few years since I have seen and spent time with my dad. We had some differences that I needed to mature to deal with. But life is way too short to hold grudges and not learn from. This was a good opportunity for us to catch up and bond! Hoping to see them more often and spend some time together during the holidays!! ..xobb

**This post started the morning of Tuesday but due to a terrible morning and long night at work, is concluding on Wednesday!**   It's only Tuesday... I'm just sayin'!  Being a glutton for punishment, I decided to pick up a dinner shift last night and schedule an appointment across town during morning rush hour for this morning. I've officially lost my mind and feel like I need to duplicate myself, one for day and another for night! Ha! One can dream! Even though I felt as if I needed an endless vat of coffee, I didn't want to appear as such so I mustered all of my energy and slapped some makeup on myself! I used the same palette as I did for the grey smokey eye, but using the pinks instead! I'm a little more obsessed with it than I am the greys but I'm a pink girl all the way!!  Happy Hump Day! When I began writing this post, I was sitting at the airport in Orlando about to take a security test to obtain my badge. I had just acquired a j...

Dreading Monday...Oh, wait, today is my Friday and Sunday! Having a serving job is beneficial when it comes having days off during the week. You can actually get errands done on your day off! The last two days, I've been playing with my Maybelline "The Blushed Nudes" palette. Can't tell that I use this at all! Most Maybelline palettes have suggestions on what shades to use on which part of your eye. I used this quad suggestion: I was also really excited to receive my favorite mascara in the mail on Friday! This is the brand that I used to sell, but seeing as I am not a salesman by any means, I decided to just be a customer! This is the two-part mascara with the gel and the fibers. Obsessed!! So, this look is really quick, simple and light for work and day. Pretty sure it will be a go-to for the summer, maybe lighten it up with some of the light pink instead of the dark grey.   ..xobb
