NO, this post does not pertain to any type of baby making for me.  QUIET with that nonsense.  I am finally doing okay, not mentally breaking down that is with the fact that Armani has moved in with me!!!  Yes, indeed I am in my 1st adult relationship and dealing with it one freak-out after another but hey I am dealing with it right?  It also helps that I love every ounce of him with every ounce of my beating heart.

Back to the baby business… Armani’s older sister is expecting her first baby, which is a boy in case that matters.  I was thinking of getting her one of these nursing bracelets which can be found here but then I found a digital reminder thingy which can be found here.

I am torn.  I like how simplistic and sentimental the bracelet is but then the baby care timer looks so much more efficient?

Thoughts?

oh hey… its me K.

I have been keeping my unemployed ass pretty busy becoming quite the domestic diva.  Alright… attempting to be quite the domestic diva.

The last couple of weeks have been interesting.  I may or may not have…

drank so much I pissed the bed with ARMANI in it

almost burned the house down while cooking Fillet Mignon in a frying pan

flopped cooking corned beef in a fucking crockpot

a puppy who finally has learned PAW!

googled how to make grilled cheese

took 4 pregnancy tests (no, im not pregnant PHEW!)

bought Boom Ball off of Amazon.com and lost the balls it came with in less than 2 days

played Guitar Hero for my FIRST time ever and sucked

a boyfriend who really really wants a goped

went gokarting in a skirt

totally been slacking with going to the place that keeps me from turning into an oompah loompah

tanned in WEEKS because of this

spent many many hours working hard on my farm… on facebook

bought adorable dixie cups

So as you can see I may or may not have been pretty busy lately.  You be the judge!

I mentioned I went to peruse Downtown Naperville and Bacci SCORED, per the usual.

Everyone loves Etsy.  I have yet to meet a person that hasnt found something fantastic in one of the many etsy stores.

A couple of weeks back, I found this beautiful, yet simple gem:

The bracelets can be found in this friendly seller’s shop SparklyThingsbyBon.  What makes these bracelets even more fabulous?  A portion of the proceeds go to support FPDA.  I purchased one for myself and one for Candid Beauty my “always there for me” BPD friend.  They are beautiful reminders of not being alone fighting BPD.  A day can be a constant struggle but this simple reminder might be what gets you through the day.

I also shamelesly stole the above pics from Candid Beauty’s blog.  I know she wont mind

Stilla Sheer Pressed Powder

I love Stila but my usual go to sheer powder is by MAC or Smashbox. I am a recent user of their compact bronzer and fell in love.  It goes on much smoother than MAC’s bronzer so I figured I would give their powder a try.

Smashbox Camera Ready Full Coverage Foundation

I have foundations for many situations, events, and skin colors.  I am a big fan of MAC Studio Fix but love Smashbox’s line of primers and liquid foundations.

Stila Eye Shadow Quad - Montmarte

Oh Stila!  I promise you I needed a new purple quad of eyeshadows.  My best friend said so.

Benefit’s Posie Tint

I gave in and bought the much talked about Benetint from Benefit.  I decided on the more “rosey” shade.  I am anxious to give this a go and hope it lives up to all of its hype.

Dream Matte Mousse Foundation by Maybelline

This is my “go to” I want to look flawless but not done up foundation.  I ran out and needed it for this weekend.  I love this fluffy foundation.

What are your beauty faves?  Have you tried any of the above?

I left Target spending only $18.98 and leaving with a very important realization.

I’ve always wanted a label maker. You know one of those fancy ones.

Drool.

My knees began to wobble as I oogled them at Target.

Oh the possibilities.

I bought 5 Fuzes, Orbitz Sangria Gum, and Fill Monty by Soap and Glory.

“Santa” was good to me this year. See below.

I thanked “Santa” by chewing on Mommy’s tasty $175 Cole Haans that she planned on wearing out on NYE. My little way of attempting to keep her away from the bottle. See below.

Merry Christmas Mommy!

Notes from Mommy -I was very hesitant to feed Bacci the Beggin Strips but I figured it was Chritmas.  If I can binge on my many vices then so can he.  I kid you not, he acted like the dog in the commercials.  Beggin Strips are crack.  He will be shunning the organic treats in no time. 

Also, Pet Head by Bed Head is awesome and I am not saying that because of its cute packaging or the fact that I am a pretentious shampooer.  I used it today and Bacci loved it and did not roll around on the carpet as much itching like a crack fiend.

Christmas has come and gone.  I am planning to post all the goodies I received in a post to come but stumbled upon this on the web and it has left me not having a reaction.  What do you think?

I am all about the personal cleansing wipes but Im not sure I would take my hygeine past that.

How does one bring their 14 year old sister to a personal training session, wind up joining the personal training session, almost die, and then sign up for 30 personal training sessions?

How?

Yes… I did look like an unfit monster next to my svelte 100 pound sister.

In other news, I swindled my stepdad into buying my NYE dress.  Actually, he offered as I do not swindle my parents for anything.  The roof over my head and food in my belly is enough.  I also accept the economy sized boxes of Fiber One bars and 100 calorie Pita Chips my Mom brings home from Costco with open arms.  Ya… they have 100 calorie packs of Pita Chips at Costco.  Fabulous?  You betcha.

My NYE dress was purchased and cancelled in 15 minutes flat.  I sent the link to L and she gave it the thumbs down.  I quickly engaged in an online chat with a Nordies representative who cancelled the order.  This was the dress.

I am going to talk about complete randomness because I am trying to not face my unemployment, at least for the remainder of today.

LUSH products.  Can I say a big valley girl “OH MAH GAWD”.  The minute I stepped into the store I was overwhelmed with goodness.  I wasnt overwhelmed with a massive headache like some stores of its kind.

I purchased a highly recommended by my stepmom cuticle cream called “Lemon Flutter” and approximately $70 worth of products which I have yet to try at home with the exception of the bath jelly called “Snow Showers” which smells of oranges and cognac.

I am destined to become a lush-aholic.

Airbrush tanning.  I tried airbrush tanning for the first time this past Wednesday.  Kelly from Illusion Tan graciously comped my sister and i free airbrush tans for the misunderstanding that occured. She did an amazing job but most of all was your average real 20-something who you could relate to which was a nice suprise.

Thanks to Kelly @ Illusion Tan I was one tan bitch for my revealing Halloween costumes.

I know there were questions from my last post and I have yet to answer them.  Perhaps thats because this blog has taken the back burner to my binge drinking?

The tan lasts approximately 7 days.  It will be a week tomorrow and I am still glowing, not as bright but still glowing.  The key is moisturizing which I have not been keeping up with because why?  I was too drunk to moisturize the majority of Halloween weekend.

You have the option to get sprayed however you like.  I chose to wear a thong and went topless.  Its completely up to you.

So, there ya go!  If you have any questions or are in the chicagoland area check out Illusion Tan!

Finally… have you checked out my super awesome giveaway?  Tell your friends about it heh?
