where does the time go...

May is almost over and try as I might I am at a loss for how I have spent all of this time. Time that has slipped away. Time that has been "well spent" I hope. How funny it is that the time I have most recently spend scrapbooking the past 5 years of my life. In looking back have I stopped pursuing my future? On that note... Gmail wants me to do MORE advertising... something that I am not sure I want. I am not some hardcore blogger looking for success and fame... this is a project just for fun! That's why there are so few entries... sorry pals! well... i want to hear from you... what kind of product are you looking for? what do you want to know more about? In looking toward the future... a fun packed memorial day weekend... maybe travel will inspire some terrific beauty finds!

May is the month of Buzz worthy Beauty finds!

Spring is in the air, and even though the weather has been crazy and can't seem to make up it's mind. Here is a little bit of info so that you can make up your mind when it comes to picking out something special. I recently went in search of sweet beauty buys that might have the bee's buzzing with jealousy. My first is find is a product that has been around a while... it is gloss that plumps! I was first introduced to this type of product long ago by a little company called Skinmarket, the product was Lip Venom. It made your lips burn and wasn't very plesant and didn't taste good either. Victoria Secrets lip plumper comes in various shades which is fun. I am always partial to the baby pink color because it gives just a hint of color and looks nice on "everyone".

APRIL!

Well, no April fools joke here! April is Autism Awareness Month.I am proud to say that I love someone with Autism. I am greatful to have the opportunity to make a difference within the community. Wear blue for Autism Awareness! Now is the time to show support, send love to those in the community, spread awareness for this cause. Autism Spectrum Disorder is spreading not just in notoriety.

Autism affects 1 in 110 children and 1 in 70 BOYS!

March is National Craft Month

So one of my favorite things to do is being crafty... especially SCRAPBOOKING! I scrapped my brother’s wedding, summer trips, sorority events, even other craft projects that I have completed. I have completed a quilt for my parents ( I couldn’t have done it without Mia & Leia- my “slelves”), a no-sew blanket for Ryan, some onesies for some preggo friends, and of course scrapping the last 5 years of pictures that I have accrued. I have had so much fun working with my friends on some random projects… I encourage you to get crafty too! March is national craft month… so let’s get crafting! I have posted some ideas below…

... my favorite product ...

A long time ago Target was cemented in time as my all time favorite store. It has great variety and is never a let down in the beauty isle. I adored wandering down the lanes looking for that little something extra for an upcoming special night out. I was introduced to the wonderful world of Berts Bees and Soap & Glory. I used to bee fanatical about Berts! Until I found the best lip set EVER! Soap and Glory's Mighty Mouth Kit is undoubtedly amazing! It has two parts that pull off the trifecta to a perfect pucker. When you open the kit there is the double sided black tube and a lip gloss, which is nearly sheer so it goes with pretty much any skin tone. The double sided black tube is ingenious! On one side it has smoothe over, an exfoliant, and on the other is soften up, aloe to soothe the lips. The combination almost instantly starts to heal those poor chapped lips. Then if you choose to add the lip gloss you get the plumpest looking pucker... and the shine makes it look soooo glamourous! 
So there you go… my favorite product...Mighty Mouth™ 3 steps to gorgeous lips kit and includes a Double Smooth & Soften Lip Stick and Super Filling Lip Shine. Check out the link below to order some for yourself!

BEAUTY_IN_ALL_SIZES

This blog was the wonderful idea of my good friend Kelly*. She suggested that I start a beauty blog since I am always more than willing to tell her about my new favorite products, uses for items and all things girly! I am excited to start this new venture and share this all with you! I am hoping you will find this useful and fun too! I love beauty products AND crafting products… so a little bit of everything and anything I can think of will be posted… including my latest “obsession” over weddings even though I am not engaged…yet! I am also interested in what you would like to know or get advice about!
Enjoy!
