2014 is coming to a end

I so can not believe that this year is almost over with already. At times it seems like just yesterday that it just begun. 2014 has been a good year. We didnt get to do all that we had hope we would be able to do this year. Like get started on the adoption process and renew our wedding vows. But it was still a good year. We did go on a couple of road trips thru out the year. One to the smokey mountains (maybe we will get to do that again in 2015), to Helen GA for our anniversary. That was a fun trip. We also went down to Fort Morgan right before Christmas and that was fun. Getting to go to the beach and spending time with family.  Had a couple of worries with my health during the summer (the doctor’s fault lol ) but glad it was all good. Like they thought something was wrong with my heart and then my liver but things is all good. Mike got promoted to manager and we got to buy a house and adopt some puppies and now we adopted a kitty but wont get to bring it home until friday which will be the new year lol.
I just could keep going on and on lol
Oh  yeah we found out that we are going to be great aunt and great uncle again to a little niece (which she will be here next year but we did found out this year lol )
2014 was a good year and 2015 is going to be a very very good year

Merry Christmas (Happy Holidays)

Merry Christmas ( Happy Holidays) I hope everyone has had a wonderful day how every you celebrate this day. (I know everyone celebrate it different). I was sitting here last night tracking Santa and I had seen where he came to Alabama but he didnt stop at my house, I guess I was a naughty girl this year. But that is okay I have Mike to be my santa lol. Mike me a guitar and a guitar for dummies and accessories for the guiter, a knitting loom, a hat to wear when I run, a Auburn hoodie and a form roller ( and plus some candy lol ) for Christmas. Yes learning to play the guitar has been on my bucket list. I hope that I got the musical gene that runs in my family. I have a few uncles who can play and sing. My dad can play the guitar very well and he can sing to but he doesnt do it that much. So can my brother. and I am sure there is others that I am leaving out and I am sorry for that. So I hope that I will be good at the guitar. Even if it is just to play it around the house that is just fine with me.
This Christmas has been wonderful. Getting to spend it with my family is all that I really care about. I would have been happy just to spend today with them.  Mike and I went over the weekend down to Fort Morgan beach to spend sometime with his sister and her family and we enjoyed lots. Getting to spend time with them was all we cared about but his sister had gotten us something. She got me some yarn and a hersey recipe tin and a mug with candy and hot chocolate in it and had made me a scarf. She gave Mike a pretty candle holder that is Army and a sign that is Army. We was not expecting to get anything and would have been fine with just spending time with them. As this time of year is not about what you are getting it is about spending time with family and the ones you love.
Just so my family knows if you ever do want to give me anything (oh and my friends to) I would treasure homemade gifts no matter what you make it will be treasured. I think the homemade gifts are the best gift that anyone can give.

I hope you all had a wonderful day today to.

Why are there no lights

Why are there no Christmas Lights? My husband (Mike and I ) carried our pups to look at Christmas Lights and there was probably only a handful of houses with Christmas Lights put up. I just dont get it. I know right now we may not have many lights up ourselves but we do have some. Is people losing their Christmas spirit. I just want to understand. Yeah we could have paid about $5 to $10 to drive thru the park to look at lights but that just really doesnt feel the same to me. I always enjoyed just going around the neighborhood seeing what the neighbors did for Christmas. Just looking at all the houses being so colorful this year just puts a smile on my face. It always has. You just dont find too many houses now days that is decorated for the holidays. I really miss that.
My home will always be decorated inside and out for the holidays even if it is just a string of lights going down my house and that is it. It will be decorated.
I would just like to know where the lights have gone.

Thanks Dads and grandpas

I just wanted to take the time to wish all the dads and grandpas out there a big Thanks. Maybe you are wondering why I am writing this well I am going to tell you why.
Why I am given Thanks to all the dads and grandpas out there is because I was watching tv yesterday and just about every commercial and every single one the kids in it was saying thanks mom or thanks grandma but what about the dads and grandpas. They work hard to help the moms and grandmas to get the those kids things to. Yes I know they are just commercials but still.  What about the single parents that is just dads out there. They work hard to give their kids things that they need or want just like the single moms out there. I just think that we need to give thanks for dads and grandpas and not just at father’s day. We need to do it all the time just like we do it to mom and grandmas.
SO BIG THANKS TO THE DADS AND GRANDPAS OUT THERE. AND A BIGGER THANKS TO MY DAD AND MY GRANDPAS. (EVEN THOUGH MY GRANDPAS ARE IN HEAVEN I KNOW THEY ARE STILL LOOKING OUT FOR ME. )

We had a wonderful thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was great. We got to spend it with some of our family. We didnt spend it with all of them as some of them just didnt want to come to our house. Yes it was sad that they was not here but what  can we do nothing. But we still had a wonderful thanksgiving. Our niece revealed what she is having. She is having a little girl. I knew she was. I have known every since she told us all that she was pregnant and I told her you going to have a girl. Yep I was right. (hey if I had been wrong it would have been okay because I love all my nephews they are all great ).  After everyone left our home on Thanksgiving I took a little nap and then Mike and I went to JC Penney's to do a little shopping. We was going to go to Walmart right after JC Penney but you should have seen that parking lot. So Mike surprised with me a trip to the theater. We watched the new Hunger Games movie. It was a pretty good movie. It wasnt as good as the book or the other two movies Maybe part two of this one will be better lol. Then after the movie was over with we decided to go ahead and brave walmart. It wasnt so bad at that time so in all we had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

we adopted some puppies

About three weeks ago (actually tomorrow will be three weeks) we adopted two pups from the animal shelter.  I plan on getting some Christmas photos of them (Just so you know I will not put the names on my blogs as I do not want someone finding out where I live and come and steal them ) Yes we got them a Christmas outfit to wear. The brown one is a  Chihuahua, Short Coat mix and the black one is suppose to be a Retriever, Labrador mix but to me she looks like a st Bearnard and Lab mix. I could be wrong but that is what she looks like to me. 

They have gone since we have gotten them and is a handful lol. The little chihuhua mix is a jail breaker. She likes getting out of her bed crate and the outdoor pen (yes we keep them outside but bring them in on very cold nights ) The Lab mix I thought would be the one getting out of the pen and explorering more of the surroundings but she gotten where she is happy to sit with us. (She loves the tv. She sit and watched tv with me one day while mike was given the other one a bath ) The chihuhua mix is the ring leader on going in the neighboring yard lol. They love to fight each other (play fighting) THe chihuhua mix loves to get it started and then run off. It is so funny. They are learning that if they listen and be good girls they get a treat. But truthfully they are good pups and I wouldnt trade them for nothing in the world. I hope and pray that we have them forever and ever.

My feelings count

I was just made to feel like my feelings do not count  and they do. My feelings and others (let me resay some others ) who go thru infertility feelings to count. Those fake pregnancy announce like around April Fool’s Day or those that is going around saying expecting I am so many weeks and then goes on and says something about santa or what ever, is hurtful. If you are going thru infertility you may know what I am talking about. If you are going thru infertility and you find these jokes funny good for you. But I dont and my feelings count along with yours. And then when I share my feelings or opinions about this subject I basically get made to feel like I should be ashamed and that my feelings do not count.
I think this blog here hhttp://subversivereader.wordpress.com/2012/11/16/why-fake-pregnancy-jokes-are-not-actually-funny/comment-page-1/

I think some people need to really step back and think before commenting to someone for is saying their feelings are hurt (or around those words) because you are making them feel like their feelings do not count. When in truth their feelings do count. Maybe not to you but they do count.

Living with less

I would love to live with less junk. Yes I said junk. I remember growing up and not having all that much. I had my family, had a roof over our head and we had pets and food and clothing but we didnt have a whole lot of things like video games and etc. I had some toys but not a whole lot as I enjoyed being outside (even on the coldest days of the year I was always outside) running and playing. Some days my brother and a friend of ours that lived closed by would be outside playing with me. We would play tag, basketball , kickball, softball, and cars and etc. ( Cant you tell I miss those days lol ) My sister hardly ever came out side but she did some days. Getting back on track here. I remember that we was happy. Yes we was probably like all other kids and wanting this or that but we was happy with what we had and learned a great value. That things are not what makes you happy. I have no idea when or where I lost that value but I did and I want to live with less again. As long as I have Mike, our pets, home, and food I will be okay (okay as long as I have my books and tv to lol dont think I could live without them lol ) but I can live without everything else. I wonder what I can start to get rid of. Well got to talk to Mike about all this also but I am sure he will be right there with me (okay I wont get rid of the video games because that is something Mike likes to do from time to time to destress or our computers but I am sure we can get rid of something lol ) I will keep you update on how learning to live with less goes. (We do have a good start though we are living in a smaller home then what we was. A 1100 square foot home to be exact and we love it. )

Product review

I just thought I would do a product review for you. It is Biotin & Collagen Weightless Healing Oil Mist 4oz. This is some really good stuff. I started using it the other day. I put it on wet hair and once it dried my hair was so soft and shiny and smooth.  It also had a little extra body in it. I don't know if it will help my hair grow out any but it is making it so shiny and smooth. Also silky like. I would recommend this to everyone. I really love and I will continue to use it.

i am finished with my photo classes

I am finished with the photography classes I was taken online. It has been long and tiring but I got it done. Just turned in the last photo project that I had to do. I learned a lot during the last 2 years. I learned that I still love photography. I learned that I can finish things once I start them. I learned that no matter what goes on if you really want something you have to work hard to get it and I do so that I worked hard at it. I study and study and study then took my tests. I did the photo projects like I was suppose to even when I couldnt find anyone to let me take their picture and even when Mike (my husband ) was tired of being my model. I got it done and I am proud of myself.  I know that there is still things I need to learn with photography but I will learn them. and I need more practice but I will get those practice in.  I am just so proud of myself.

And now if I can get the money to take some more classes with I can accomplish my other goals.

please help me go back to school

I would love to be able to take some online college courses. Every time I see my husband studying for his classes or talking about them I am so proud of him and I have to emit a little jealous. I want to do that. I want to take courses in writing, art, and etc. I have always enjoyed those topics and I know I would enjoy the hard work that I would need to put in to accomplish them. I hate being known as a quitter. I want to be proud of myself. I want to say yeah I am 34 years and yes I am going back to school. But to do that I need $5,000 to be able to start it all. If you can go to this fundraiser page and donate a little I would be so grateful.

Thank you so much.
Oh if I can get the money up and get started with it all I will keep you all update on how it is all going.

Our new home

Our new home,
We have decided to buy a house to make a home in instead of renting. We both is just tired of spending $600 a month on rent when we could be putting that money towards a house payment. And we also just got tired of landlords who thinks they are better then us because we are renting from them. Landlords who is nosey yes I said nosey. I couldnt go for my runs without the landlords or their son watching. It seemed like they would just sit and stare at the house sometimes. They would even make the excuse of supposedly leaving something in the basement just to come by. Also they wouldnt come out fix the drain pipes when we was having problems with them and then once we got them to come out they tried to say I was pouring grease down the drain. I do not pour grease down the drain. My parents didnt raise me that way.
We are so glad that we have bought a house of our own. It is a little house and we are so happy with it. We are going to do some painting and maybe remodel somethings later on but we are happy with it. Right now we are going to paint the two bedrooms upstairs and we may also go ahead paint the upstairs bathroom. I will take before and after pictures once we get everything done. Right now we are waiting for the ones that we bought it from gets moved out so we can get started with the upstairs painting and then move in. Which should be this week sometime. So can not wait to get things started and get moved in.

Here is a picture of the outside of the house. We call it the gingerbread house as that is what it reminds of us. So my posts about our new home may start with the gingerbread house from now on.

we had a good 4th of july

Our 4th of July was a good one. Lets start with on Tuesday (July 1st,) we got up and did some errands and then around lunch time we got on the road for our Anniversary trip ( I so can not believe that we have been married for 10 years. Yes we have been married for 10 years and I am so glad to be married to my best friend. )  Wednesday morning we got up and went to a waterpark (maybe you are asking where we went on our trip. We went to Helen, GA it and was a beautiful place.) We was going to go river tubing but my anixety kicked in and I was so scared that something was going to happen, So we just went to the waterpark but it was still fun. The waterpark had a lazy river and we got to do the tubing thing lol and mike sled down the slides and it was so much fun watching him. We left the waterpark around lunch time. Then after lunch we went to the hotel room and rested a little bit and then went to the hotel swimming park. Let me tell you I got sun burn on Wednesday. Wednesday night we just order food in and had it delivered to the hotel room as we both was tired and didnt feel like getting out and we wasnt going to go back to the restaurant we had went to tuesday night as soon as we checked in our hotel room (this restaurant was right beside the hotel) That place was rude to us. If we wasnt a family member or had on short shorts or a low cut dress or etc on we wouldnt get good services at least that is how it felt to us. On Thursday we went to this waterfall (Anna Ruby Waterfall) it was very pretty. Then we did a little shopping. We didnt find much that we wanted to buy. We did find a few things but they was just a little too pricey so we didnt even buy them. We did have those old timey photos taken. I think we pretty much try to get those done everytime we go on vacation. Make was a cowboy and I was a saloon girl. It was so much fun doing those.  Then that evening we went out to dinner for our anniversary and it was fun sitting by the river and eating dinner it was so nice. Then on Friday we got up and left to come back home and go to my parents house for a cook out. I tried to enjoy the cook out with family but I was hot and tired and not feeling good. but it was still nice to get to spend time with them. We do not do it enough anymore for some reason.

So all in all we had a good 4th of July what about you.

Another review for you

I just thought I would do a review for you. This is the after sun gel from mary kay. It is awesome. I love it. I got sunburn on saturday as I forgot to put on my sunblock before my run. At first I didnt think I got that bad sun burn but as I was getting ready for bed I noticed that I had. I have been applying the after sun gel to it about two to three times a day since saturday (yes i know it is only monday) but my sunburn is not that bad now. Yesterday morning it hurt to touch it some but today it is not that bad. I love it. You just have to try it. You will love it.

A new summer look

I found myself a new summer look. (some of my friends and family members on facebook has done seen it but I wanted to write a post about it anyways). I just love this look. Of course it is all Mary Kay products. The eye shadows are peacock blue, emerald green, glistening gold mineral eye color. and I love them. The cheek color is shy blush and the lip color is au naturel and I have a light to medium bronzing powders. I am also have on the ultimate mascara in black on to. I also have the timewise foundation. I love this foundation it helps with fighting off age and makes your face look younger and firmer and healthier. I just love the foundation. I love the mineral eye colors to.

I was feeling very pretty last night

I was feeling very pretty last night. It has been a very long time since I have very pretty. Mike and I had a date night last night and I got all dressed up. We went to the movies and then out to eat. We went and seen Divergent. It was a really good movie. Almost as good as the book haha. Getting back to me feeling very pretty. It is hard to feel pretty when you look in the mirror and you look worn out and drained. All you see is the fat. Yes I see the fat. I do not see myself as a beautiful person. I have never seen myself as beautiful even when I was skinny. At that time I seen myself as a average person. But now all I see is fat. Last night was just one of those nights that I felt very pretty. After I got ready and looked in the mirror to make sure that my outfit was all right I was like dang I am pretty. I cleaned up really well.  But  today I have felt like crap. So I am glad I had one night of feeling pretty.

my favorite mary kay lipstick

My favorite Mary Kay lipstick is Firecracker Red in the Timewise collection. I have tried red lipstick in the pass and none of them never did look good on me at all. But this one does. I was a little scared to try it but I am glad I did as it is my favorite and dont know if I would ever change it lol.
Here is a picture of me wearing it If you would like to purchase it please go to my consultant page and purchase it http://www.marykay.com/elizabethseats/en-US/Makeup/Lips/Lipstick/Mary-Kay-True-Dimensions-Lipstick/Firecracker/140705.partId?eCatId=10015 I promise you if I can pull it off so can you. Dont be afraid to try it

Jamberry Nails

Have you heard of Jamberry Nails. No you are missing out. I really love Jamberry Nails. They are so much easier to apply then nail polish.

Before I would have to sit and wait for the nail polish to dry before painting the other hand and I do not have to do that with Jamberry. Before I would have a mess on my fingers if I did them myself. But with Jamberry I do not have a mess on fingers. With nail polish it had always chipped no matter what I did within a hour or so after painting them. But with Jamberry it did not happen.

After I applied the Jamberry nails I was able to wash the dishes without waiting for a long time for it to dry.

Here is a photo of my Jamberry nails

If you would like to order Jamberry nails you can go to this website to order them http://nicolekouns.jamberrynails.net/

I dont think I will ever use nail polish again.

Yes theses are wraps but not like the wraps you find in drug stores. They are a whole lot better and are easier to use and last longer. 

Make up

I thought I would start blogging about finding my love for makeup and my journey thru selling Mary Kay.

Okay my first blog is about the satin lip care products.

I have both the lip mask and the lip balm. I have been enjoying it. It has helped my chipped lips out so much.

 This probably will be my go to product every winter. It does seem like my lips get badly chipped every winter.

If you would like to buy the satin lips check out my website http://www.marykay.com/elizabethseats/en-US/Makeup/Lips/Lip-Care/Satin-Lips-Set/180301.partId?eCatId=10550 

Keep a watch out for more makeup reviews.
