I love beauty products!


I love makeup, all of the pots, glosses, brushes, etc. I know I got this gene from my dear Mother. Each month she received this mystery box of beauty products which was just like Christmas not knowing what would be in the box. I have a sister who did not get this gene and rarely uses anything but maybe some lipgloss. I love the whole process of priming and lining, etc. Needless to say I have a lot of products and am always on the lookout for more. The following website is one of my favorite places to read about beauty products.

My latest acquisition as a result of her website is the Mac Dazzleglass. My dilemma is that I bought Baby Sparks and Miss Dynamite; one for me and one for a friend for Christmas and I can't decide which one I want the most. I needed another lipgloss like I needed another hole in my head but I love beauty products!

50 is the new 20 in my mind


Wow I've been away from blog for awhile and the past two months have been a blur. It has been filled with football and band competitions as well as my day job. And while it was all good it has been truly exhausting.
The last competition was yesterday and just so happened to be at my university Alma Mater. Even though the campus is probably twice as big since my four years there a few years back (alright maybe it was more than a few)I went right back in my mind to that time. I could so picture myself during that time and even though I had a great four years I couldn't help but wish I knew then what I do now. But then it would have been a different experience and who knows maybe not as good as the not knowing.
Even though the campus looked much different as I was walking past some familiar buildings and places on campus, my mind started it's little movie projector of events that took place in those locations. I remember this woman who spoke at a conference who said that you should experience as much of life as you can while you're young so that when you are on up in years you will have these great memories.
I do have a lot of memories but expect that I am going to add many more in this 50 something life. Oh and I almost forgot the younger son's band got first place. They were awesome!
