Save $$ create your own eye make-up remover!!

I watched a video on youtube of this from the amazing Kandee Johnson and decided to give it a try because i think the prices of most eye make-up removers are crazy and i have been using petroleum jelly but that dries out my skin.

So here's all you need:

You can use any brand/organic whatever you prefer just make sure its olive oil :)

Then next you need some good ole witch hazel:

Lastly you need a travel container : 

Step 1: NOW all you need to do is pour equal parts of both the witch hazel and olive oil into the travel container and you will see the the oil will separate away from the witch hazel. 

Step 2: Next, all you need to do it shake it up and it turns into a yellow frothy substance. Pour a tiny bit onto a cotton ball and swipe off your make up. 

Step 3: You can wet one cotton ball with just water and repeat after to get it extra clean. 

It all wipes right off and doesn't leave a nasty film on your eyelids!Your eye area is left smooth and clean! 

SO, no need to spend tons of money when you can probably make your own with stuff you may already have in your cubbards! 

Thought i would share :)

OMG My son is in school!!!

Carson had his VERY FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!!!!! He did so well and was so excited. I could not be more proud! I can't believe my little baby is in school! He is going 3 days a week Monday, Tuesday, and Thursdays. Wowzer! He didn't even have a potty accident (WAHOO)! Here's a few pics of him sporting his "NEW" iron man back pack:

And then here he is on the ride home exactly as I suspected!! :)

Aweeeeeee so sweet. Love my lil preschooler :)

Growing up fast!

My lil mister is getting so big. I love that him and I can just have these fun days together and go on little Mommy/Son dates! I can't wait for summer time! He got to play outside the other day finally before the rain hit again:

He was so excited!!! I swear he is so much better behaved when he can get outside and get some fresh air and run around! 

Well we finally made the switch he is in a big boy seat!!! I can't believe it! 

He played in the play area at Ikea today and said afterwards " That was so much fun mommy!!" I love the place! Mom got some kid free shop time and he had tons of fun win-win! :) 

Then, we went to Yocream i have heard SOOO many great things about this place but had never been! He was so excited to build his own ice cream creation! 

This little buddy is growing so fast. He starts preschool this week! AHHHHHHHHHHHH i will give you the lowdown on all that later! Just wanted to take a second and share our day :) 

Discipline in public?

So i'm new to this mom thing. Well i now have 3 years of hands on experience. But i never claim to be a know it all or know what i'm doing at all times. I definitely learn as i go and i am ALWAYS open to trying new approaches and taking advice. BUT here's what i can't stand. I hate it when your toddler acts out in public and you get on to them for it and everyone stares at you like your a horrible abusive parent. I mean i know different people have there own opinions on how to raise children. But if my child is being rude and needs a lil swat it's gonna happen. I usually try to yard him off to someone not so public and try and see if i can get through to him first with a little "heart to heart" and let him know Mommy means business.

People are so judgy now a days and i can't stand it. Well i got plenty of spankings in my toddler days and i would consider myself a polite and respectable adult now because of it!

I'm officially a Belieber as they call em LOL

Ok so before you instantly roll your eyes and don't even read the rest of this blog let me explain myself at least a little! Yes i am 24 years old and am not ashamed to say it that i have finally joined the millions of others that have caught the fever!

So i know he looks 12 right? I'm not saying i'm obsessed with him in that way and think he's so hot and blah blah blah. I think he's adorable in his own 17 year old way. But ya that's not it at all! My very first impression of him i think i saw him on some talk show and i thought what is all the fuss about? And i thought he was WAY too confident. BUT recently i have actually sat down and listened to his music which is extremely catchy with great dance beats and he is not bad! Overall he is a great entertainer! He doesn't look stupid when he dances and he came in the music scene at a PERFECT time because i really don't think i've seen this sort of frenzy since NSYNC days. I went and saw the movie and i love the story. It's totally inspiring to see his success all happen so fast and see his dreams coming true. I'm all for that! Doesn't everyone want to see people's dreams come true? So knock it off haters. He is a kid with a dream and let him do his thing.

I have recently must admit i am a little obsessive and love the fact that he is dating one of my favorite disney stars EVER Selena Gomez. I have always thought she was genuine and adorable and really talented. So i think they are just the cutest. It's like pop star love all over again! Come on remember Justin Timberlake and Britney! The only difference is i admit they don't look there age they look so young!

BUT LOOK AT HOW CUTE THEY ARE!!!

I swear i would make a great E news correspondent!!! That would be so fun. I know it's annoying and silly that we are even interested in what celebs are doing these days because they are in fact NORMAL people! I try and try to not let it draw me in but i'm a sucker for it! Welp at least i admit it and don't try and hide it. Best of luck to Selena and Justin (Jelena as they are calling them.)

And all i can say is keep doing what your doing because it's obviously working!!!

Blonde Has ALWAYS Suited Me :)

I've officially returned to my roots!!! Well not my exact natural roots lol  because they are a dull grayish-dark blonde that nobody would want to rock believe me! But i've returned BLONDE. I have only gone dark one other time in my life and that was when i was 17 and i only lasted a few months and then desperately needed to go back. Here's me in high school with dark hair: 

then i returned to this: 

I love being blonde it just suits me. It's more than just a hair color. It's me. My personality, everything i just feel like myself. Last year i desperately needed a change and felt like being bold again and decided to just go for it! So i did this in May 2010: 

I loved how new and exciting it was and everyone seemed to like it. I almost lasted a year that's pretty impressive for me! I would still look in the mirror and be like " who is that person." Just felt like a year of jumping into someone else's identity (lol) dramatic i know but this is TOTALLY how i felt. 

SO happy to report that i am safely back at home in my blonde family where i belong: 

I would like to guarantee you that i will never leave it again but i have learned my lesson too many times in the words of Justin Bieber (whom i love and will share more on that later!)

"NEVER SAY NEVER"
