Nursery School Pictures

(after Instagram)

I stressed out over making sure that Scarlett had the perfect outfit for her first ever school pictures; probably a little too much, but I think it worked out!  She looks sweet and innocent, while also put together and preppy.

Good thing I listened to everyone and decided not to go with the purple background/white shirt route!

Can't think of a title. It's a post about all kinds of stuff. Yay for actually blogging!!!

My number one thing that I care more about than 50 Shades of Gray: Okay, BA.  She rocks my world.

I have been birthday planning list-making 24/7 in my head...time to actually make it happen!  (How fun that I get to do it again!)

I went to volunteer in Scarlett's nursery school classroom...and stayed the whole time.  Suffice to say, I miss teaching.

The Blacklist.  Scandal.  There goes my weekend.

I HAVE A HAIR APPOINTMENT SATURDAY MORNING!!!!!  Getting a cut and going brunette...my mom is going to think I'm in a funk, but really I'm just looking for some fun, a change, and a little bit of perk!

Staying home with my babies is amazing.  AMAZING.  And I want to do nothing else, buuuut...it never occurred to me that I needed to maintain hobbies that interest me.  ???  Clueless.  But then my mom "interventioned" me AND I read Kelle's post.  I have made walking, tanning, reading, volunteering more of a priority and I feel more like myself now.  Loves it!

I am tanning again.  Gross, I know.  But prettiessss x100!  I just need to make sure I don't look like I tan.  Just vacation lots in Mexico.  ;-)

Scarlett sleeps in her own bed.  In her own room.  All night, every night!  Now I have to buy her an American Girl doll...more on that later!

Have you seen Julep's new lippies???!!!  Because I have and I want them. all.

Halloween is coming...strange to think of where I was just one year ago...!  Always with this little piggy and about ready to have a second baby girl!!!

Lipstick Love?

NYX - Thalia

This photo has been floating around pinterest for a while, so of course, I had to try it!  I'm obsessed with nude lipstick, but I'd like to try to spice things up a bit!  This shade seemed like a safe way of working my way towards color...so off to amazon I went!

My lipstick arrived this afternoon and I couldn't wait to try it on...even Scarlett got in on the fun; lipstick was all over her face!

I will say that I hate this lipstick.  It's a nude-ish color, but intensified and dark.  I felt like Katy Perry when I put it on.  Not pretty.

I have yet to take a decent picture of myself while wearing it -- but you get the idea!

It looks way too dark and not nude at all in real life.  Yuck!

NYX in Thalia was definitely NOT a worthwhile purchase!
