Valentines day was coming and I decided to buy one of the most important people in my life something awesome! I had my eye on Melt cosmetics eye shadow stacks before they were launched and since I love ME I bought one stack, the love sick stack. The shipping was super fast, I'm sure its because they ship from a city that's about 25 minutes away from me.I received an email notification within a few hours that they received my purchase info and my stack was shipped, provided a tracking number also. Very happy with the whole shipping process. The next day my stack was here, one day before Valentines Day, super excited but was hoping I'd get a cute lipstick key chain they randomly give out but no :sad face: Valentines day arrived and I tried 3 out of the 4 colors in the stack, I'm not a fan of the blue one, maybe I'm applying it wrong?  I'm not great at applying makeup but here's what I came up with:

Moi
I guess its not the greatest picture showcasing the eye shadows but I tried.  I used the red on the crease, the light pinkish/orangey on the lid and purple on the bottom lash line.
Have you purchased a stack? show me what you've done with it

Who says birthday parties at sky zone can only be for children?
My husbands birthday was this past Tuesday and I wanted to celebrate with him somewhere he would have fun but so would our kids. Mission accomplished! They all enjoyed themselves, they jumped their little hearts out. My husbands best friend came with us and they had a small competition at the basketball court and in dodge ball.


I seriously need to buy at least one of these right?? Melt Cosmetics has launched their first sets of eyeshadows and I loved them!
I love the lipsticks they carry also but thats a makeup challenge I have yet to conquer. Did you purchase the eyshadows? I loved Love Sick but seeing as how im currently on call at work I couldn't bring myself to purchase just yet but let me tell you I have a strong itch to buy and the scratch is real lol
Maybe its not really a drought, I have plenty of makeup, I even have eye shadow pallets I haven't even opened from BHcosmetics and UrbanDecay. I bought most of them for my birthday in May, MAY! I haven't used any of it. Do you do that?



I'm not sure what changed because I was so into my makeup, still learning of course but how am I going to get better and I don't even practice on myself?? I follow tons of Muas on instagram and saw that one of my favs (LexMua) is doing a free workshop Saturday night and luck would have it, shes near my city!
So I emailed fabglamfierced to RSVP but haven't heard anything yet.
If I do get a chance to make it out there I will take pictures and post here. The studio also offers makeup certfication classes, I hope to one day be able to take them but the way my bank account is set up...
A special birthday is coming up and I'm planning a surprise.

Down over 10 pounds and not done yet!
Back in September I had surgery(details soon) and I had to go down 10 pounds or else I would be "obese" as per BMI. Now I know I've been over weight and I want to gone down some more pounds but in September before surgery I went down 10 because if I didn't I would get charged $500 more for being over weight and that was a no no. Saving money and loosing weight sounded great to me.

My family and I headed out to Buena Park, CA to have some family time with dinner and show at Pirates Dinner Adventure, I had more fun than I thought I would!



The food was delicious, the show was entertaining and my youngest was even asked to be a part of the show!
My husband was asked too but he declined, he was shy, Im guessing. They had the audience participate throughout the show and plenty of the audience was taken on the ship to be a part of the action. The kids were asking when we will return and if I would bring them on their birthdays, I would love to go back again!
Let me tell you about dinner:
We had a choice between soup or salad, we picked salad


Main course was beef or chicken,  we picked chicken


The chicken was so good, my mouth is watering thinking about it now lol
It was a big piece of chicken we couldn't finish it all so we took some home and had delicious leftovers that night.

Desert was a brownie with vanilla ice cream on top and chocolate syrup drizzled over it. I'm sure I don't need to say we all thought it was delicious.




I suggest you go visit Pirates Dinner Adventure
and heres a discount to help you out!

I know transformers has been out a few weeks now but I wanted to share these pictures with you and to say I felt so weird hearing Mr Marky Mark get called "dad", maybe it's because it made me feel old. We didn't stay to watch the whole movie since my youngest was sick, guess I'll catch it on DVD, did you watch and like it?

I'm not much of baseball fan, as matter of fact I pretty much hate watching the sport lol 
but when it comes to events having to do with hemophilia it does no matter who put it together or what athlete might be involved. I try to go to events when ever my son and I are invited just so he can meet other kids with the same blood disorder and for the fun. 
June 23, 2014 we were invited to attend Bats and Brushes at ESPN Zone in Anaheim 
a charity founded by CJ WIlson an Anahaim Angels MLB player

 My kiddos had fun, even my teenager seemed to enjoy himself with the free games, free food and free ice cream. Thank you CJ WIlson and Brothers Healthcare!

Stoped at the lego store inside of downtown Disney and my husband had a couple of fun moments too

I'm excited to come back...

As mentioned in my previous post I've had to cut back in blogging since I've started working and going to the gym but recently my internet was cut off and now we are waiting for another provider to connect our internet and cable. Recently also, I broke my phone

I bought a new one and while downloading my apps I decided to look for a blogger app and there it was, now I can post from my Droid while I wait for my internet connection. My post won't be long or in too much detail but a little is better than nothing right?

Sorry I've been M.I.A. but I recently joined a gym, started working and also
planned to take over the world.
I'm excited to say that my first makeup class starts this Sunday! I bought everything I need and put it in a cute case, which I'll be sharing pictures with you. My birthday is also coming up and I have something planned for that....

I'm having trouble with my computer and cant seem to get the info for our TOTB but all the info is located in the previous post, so please look around.

I promise I'll be updating again very soon :)
I'll be posting about the process I go through while attending my makeup artistry certification. I registered for this course at a local college near my home in California, I was happy when I found it since it was way cheaper then the schools that I previously looked into that cost over $1,000.
The website says:
The Makeup Artistry Certification program consists of six classes: Beauty Makeup and the 101 Basics; The Eyes Have It; Runway/Drama; Character Makeup; Bridal Bliss and Makeup in Review. All classes must be taken to receive a certificate of completion

I start my course April 21, 2013 and heres the list of supplies I will need:

Makeup remover wipes
Mixing palette/palette knife
Makeup sponges, sponge applicators, mascara wands, tissues
Various makeup brushes
Makeup pencil sharpener
alcohol
brush cleaner
Primer
moisturizer
Foundations (various from light to dark)
Concealors (light to dark)
Pressed or loose powders (various colors or invisible)
Blushes
Eye shadows (mostly matte)
False lashes and adhesive
Tweezers, scissors, eyelash curler, 
hand sanitizer, hair clips
Various lip (nude shades preferred), eye, and eyebrow pencils
Lipsticks (warm and cool colors)
Mascara (black)

Its not listed here but a makeup case will be needed also. Ive made the purchases, most of which have been online so I have packages coming and thats fun, right? That will start the "What came in the mail" series on my blog, so stay tuned to see what came and I'll share cost and where I got it from also. Excited.
I ordered myself two things last month, my own treat for Valentines Day...
 One of the boxes is a phone for my son and in the other two packages

I cant see myself spending $20 for a beauty blender but heard good reviews on SOHO London beauty sponge, and of course Kim Kardashian made Ben Nye the go to highlighting setting powder so I had to buy them and  try it out.
Have any of you tried either of these? Whats your opinion?
Hiiiii
I know I haven't really updated in awhile but Ive been doing a few things here and there trying to find something to do with my life.

In my previous "Am I too old: Makeup artist" I was debating on becoming a makeup artist, since I felt like I might be too old (hence the title). I  looked into Marinello and almost signed up but came across a course that was way cheaper but I had to buy my own supplies which was FUN! and since I'm just starting/practicing I didn't want to spend hundred$ on "practice" makeup. Anyway I will have more details to come on the process of all that I'm doing to get ready to take my course.

Now for some Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies....
I found the recipe over at TheFoodiesKitchen.com I found her blog to be fun and made me pretty hungry, as a matter of fact I'm hungry again. She got extra cool points for the Guatemalan recipes because I was born in Guatemala and remember grandma hooking it up with plenty of delicious recipes the girls have posted.
The recipe was pretty simple to follow, not hard at all
Adding the strawberries
If you are a baker you might have noticed something already and this is why my husband is the cook around here lol
