Hey Y'all!

Man, time is really going by fast! We are already starting to prepare for the Spring Holy days and second, my little special baby is turning 10! This is so crazy!!
You would think that I would be ok with having another 10 year old, but the truth is.. having half of your in-house kid population 10 or older has been heartbreaking lol. My babies are all growing up and it is a matter of time before the younger two are starting to enter those dreaded pre-teen years as well.


Any way! Last year I started an online scrapbook for my kiddos! Every year on their birthday, I plan to post a recent photo and interesting facts about them. Want to see Thai's post and how much she has changed from last year? Check it out HERE!

Thailand is the sweetest and kindest little girl I have ever met! She is constantly putting others wants and needs before hers. At times she can be a little bossy ( but what girls aren't lol), but she always does the right thing in the end. Seeing her flourish in life is nothing short of inspiring!

So! To celebrate little Thai turning 10, here are 10 things about her!

1. My favorite subjects are math, science, music and P.E.
2. My favorite show is Sonic Boom and Sonic X and Proud Family.
3. My favorite food is  salad.
4. My favorite color is red.
5. My favorite sport is tennis. I really want to learn how to play.
6. My favorite toys are shopkins and dolls.
7. I love puppies and I want one!
8. I love cooking with my mommy, daddy and my older sister.
9. I like to read.
10. Ten is going to be fun and hard.







My little Thailand has changed so much throughout this year! Every day that goes by, I see her try harder and harder to be the best Thailand she can be. 

Thailand, if you happen to read this when you are older, just know that we all love you and we are so proud of all the things you have accomplished! We will always be there when you need us and even when you don't! Congratulations on turning the big 10! 

What milestone has your child hit that you are so proud of? Let me know in the comments below!

Hey y'all!


Man, I really wish Spring would show it's pretty face soon! Here it is, March and it snowed last week! I mean really KC.. REALLY!? I am so over this cold weather!

"I received these products from Esqido complimentary in exchange for a review. All opinions are honest and my own"



But on to a positive note, recently I was contacted from the PR team over at Esqido. If you haven't heard of Esqido, they are a fairly new company specializing in Mink Lashes. Once I was contacted I immediately went to their site and scoured Instagram to see what others were thinking and if they were legit.  I mean we all do this I'm sure lol.

Anyway, one I seen the lashes and read up on them, I knew I just had to try them to fully know for myself. So after spending hours comparing the  different styles and arguing with my husband why I needed which pairs.. I placed my order!

When I got the package (which was fairly quickly), I was shocked to see just how well they were packaged. A lot of lashes you get from the store or online come in a box pressed behind some plastic. Not these! These lashes were in beautiful cases that would keep the lashes protected and forsure reduce any chance of damage.

I received the "Gina" lashes and the "Voila" lashes along with a tube of glue. Y'all, the glue looked just as nice as the package that the lashes came in!

Each lash seemed to just fit perfectly on my eyes and it really didn't take much to adjust them either. The glue was mess free with a brush applicator that allowed me to control where and how much I was using.

Over all these lashes are officially my favorite lashes! I honestly love the fact that I was able to try them out and really see the quality of these mink lashes. If you would like to learn more about the company, products or connect with them, you can visit their website HERE!

Check out my before and after photos below! Also, want to see them in action? Check out my Get Ready With Me video on YouTube!

Hey y'all! As you know my 30th birthday is coming up! That's right the big 3-0! I honestly could't be more excited to start this next chapter in my life. Turning 30 is a milestone that in a way forces you to start making more cut throat decisions. Honestly, turning 30 (in most cases) feels like a cutoff time for all the pointless things and people in your life. You really start to break free from things and sadly people that hold you back!
Anyway..

I'm not one to really make a big deal about my birthday or things that I want "for special occasions", but I do love creating wishlists! They remind me of mood boards! Seeing all of the things I want really makes me focus more on my blog and my path to my new endeavor which I will tell you about at a later date! Looking at this list makes me want to work harder so I don't have to spend all my husbands money ;p!

Recently, two of my dear friends have turned 30 and while I had already gave one their gift and was putting together ideas of the other. I started to think.... What would I want for such a big occasion!? I know the things I want for the house, the kids and making homeschooling easier... but what did I want?!
So, to put all my wishes out there in the bloggerverse, I have created my "This is 30 wish list"!








1. Dyptyque Mimosa Scented Candle
I am in love with candles and these are on of the ones I have wanted for the longest lol. Not only do they smell amazing, but I love the logo!

2. Nars Natural Radiant Long Wear Foundation- Vanuatu
I recently tested out this foundation and it has by far secured a number one spot on my foundation list! This foundation is so smooth and baby, it can COVER!

I have this candle at home and I am afraid to light it! I can't stand the fact that it would eventually run out! It smells amazing!

10.Makeup Geek Eye-shadow
Makeup geek was one of the brands I first learned about when I decided I wanted to do makeup. I always thought they had average colors but these... these take the cake! I am in love with these shades!


I love all of these items in one way or another. Creating this post has made me even more excited about my upcoming birthday! This year, it actually falls on Passover so I will be celebrating it on a very special day! I couldn't be more thankful!  What Items do you like from this list? Which ones are your favorite?

Hey y'all!


What's one thing we all can agree on? Yup, skin care! Taking care of your skin is not only important but it's the foundation of beauty.

Thankfully, I have never really had major skin issues (outside of PCOS symptoms) or really any struggles with acne. Considering how many times I have fallen asleep with a "Cake Face"... I consider myself blessed lol!


It wasn't until a little over a year ago that I actually started taking pride in caring for my skin. I would go days without properly cleaning my face, moisturizing it or protecting it. A lot of makeup these days do have some form of sun protectant but not enough that really benefits your skin in the long run.


A few years ago, I started using this amazing skin care system that I absolutely love! It's called Fleuresse (Fler-ess). There are only 5 products in this collection and I use 4 daily, that is the Boosting Cleanser, Serum, and the Day and Night Créme. Each one benefits your skin in different ways.




Here is a little more information about each product that I pulled from their website.


Fleuresse Serum
"Fleuresse Serum is a light and refreshing serum, derived from naturally occurring botanicals found in plant stem cells, that rejuvenates the skin, helps protect against fine lines and wrinkles, and reduces visible signs of aging."

Fleuresse Boosting Cleanser
"Fleuresse Boosting Cleanser employs natural botanicals to clean your skin and enable it to absorb a rich infusion of vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids."

Fleuresse Day Brightening Créme
"Fleuresse Day Brightening Crème soothes, calms, and nourishes your skin by providing intense hydration to prevent fine lines and soften the look of existing lines and wrinkles."

Fleuresse Night Créme
"Fleuresse Night Crème is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and amino acids fighting against the inevitable signs of aging skin by hydrating, smoothing, and softening skin while you sleep."

This system is literally like a facial in a bottle lol plus the steps are very easy to follow!




Step 1
Using a warm damp cloth, I wipe my face so it is easier to blend in the Boosting Cleanser. Using a pea size of cleanser, I start with my problem areas and T-zone gently working it to the rest of my face. Then I use the warm damp cloth to wash of the Boosting Cleanser.


Step 2
After my face has air dried for a few seconds, I apply a pea size amount of the Serum. I use my ring finger to gently tap the serum around the corners of my eyes and mouth. Then, I spread the serum to the rest of my face.



Step 3. I allow the serum 1-2 minutes to fully absorb into my skin before I add my Day or Night Créme. Using the same small amount as the others, I gently pat the Créme onto my face.


I for one love these products for several reasons...

1. Gentle- My skin is so sensitive and just about anything will break me out into a walking rash. Fleuresse is very gentle on my skin and doesn't leave it irritated!

2. Usage- I could go on and on about the usage of this product! All you need is a pea size of each and that is plenty. Not having to use so much makes it last at least the entire month for myself. Plus, it is a simple 3 step process that doesn't take all morning or night.

3. Ingredients- Along with being gentle, Fleuresse has natural ingredients that not only hydrate but nourish the skin as well.

Out of all of these products, I would have to say the serum is probably my favorite! As soon as I put it on, I feel like my skin quickly absorbs it in and what wrinkles I do have ( especially around my eyes) are less noticeable. Plus before I put on some lipstick or gloss, I put a tad on my lips and bam! Instant lip plumper lol!
