Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners Miss the Mark

Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners Miss the Mark

We all wanted to fall in love with the new Milani Constellation Gel Eyeliners. They were so sparkly and pretty and of course that instantly made us forget all our other list of requirements we consider on if we should purchase a product or not. I put these to the test to see if they were really worth your time to scour the beauty aisle for them and if they were really worth $5.99. In m opinion the Milani Constellation Gel liners miss the mark. They can be worn as a liner but not smudged to give the effect of…

Adjusting to Weight loss in my Thirties

Adjusting to Weight loss in my Thirties

My body definitely isn’t what it used to be. Realizing this and learning to accept it has been the hardest thing for me to grasp mentally. I’ve always been pretty confident but when I look back at pictures of me sharing my outfit of the day I can’t help but get depressed at how  much weight I’ve allowed just to pile up on my body. I held a part time job in the fast food for about 10 years and as much as I ate all the fatty fried foods I not once had a problem with weight gain. It…

Military life runs in my family. My dad is a retired US Army Colonel and many other uncles also served their country. I did a small stint of Army ROTC while in college but quickly realized that it wasn’t for me. Though I gave up my BDU’s I still can’t help but love camo so when I spotted these Camo Twill Pants at Loft I just knew I had to have them. Since I’m a curvy gal LOFT Marisa cut jeans fit me perfectly, though I’ve had to painstakingly  learn that it’s not about the actual size on the jeans…

It Started with Hello… and maybe Lindt Hello Chocolate.

He had me at Hello… we’ll not really but he grew on me. I met my husband back in 2007 when I was in my prime and playing the dating field. It’s weird how you just kinda know when you’ve met “The One”.  No, the heavens didn’t open up and a angelic tune wasn’t played when he walked in the room but I just kinda knew.  Our first date was at an Outback Steakhouse, we laughed and talked the whole night. I was actually being a bit over flirtatious. I was drinking a cocktail and he asked me if it…

Black and White Fall Wardrobe Essentials

Black and White Fall Wardrobe Essentials

This year I wanted to do something a bit different and purchase only Fall Wardrobe Essentials. I didn’t want to go on a shopping spree for items that would only be trendy for the moment or spend tons of money on items that I couldn’t really pair with anything else.  As I looked back on how much I spent on clothing last year I just want to faint. I really did some irresponsible reckless “oh that’s cute” spending. So this year I’m taking another approach and setting a budget.  For my fall wardrobe essentials I only wanted to spend $1200…
