Hello everyone! People seemed to enjoy my Five On Friday last week so I thought I would give it a go again! This time, I didn’t do any shopping, so I wanted to recap my week!
{one}
I want to start with the biggest lesson I learned this week. “Bloom Where You Are Planted.” I interpret that to be “Do the best with what you have.” I have been dealt a pretty crappy hand this week but I used my noggin to help me figure out a way out of the murkiness. I had issues at work the first half of the week, my daughter is EXTREMELY mobile lately, and my son had a pretty bad accident today. Most people would want to shut down, and I admit, so did I. After carefully evaluating my situation, I decided that I needed to pick my chin up and look towards the brighter side. And I am not going to go into detail about the changes I am going to be making, but know that this is a lesson everyone can benefit from! And it is a pretty picture of flowers!

Consignment finds are a godsend. I am lucky enough to have a fabulous consignment shop nearby and I can always find darling outfits and separates for my kids. I get compliments all the time about how I have my daughter dressed and also comments like, “How can you afford to have a girl and keep her dressed so cute always?” Consignment shops.
Seriously. Don’t put your nose in the air and pass up on the really great deals that second-hand shopping has to offer. The sweater that my daughter is wearing in this picture is from Baby Gap and I am almost positive that it retails in the $30s and I snagged it for less than $2. And honestly, I didn’t even have to pay for it because of all the clothes that I turned in, so I had credit.

I love the power of makeup. One of my favorite kind of posts to do are the kind where you show a transformation. Going from bare skin to fully made up can sometimes be a mind blower. The shot below me testing out and reviewing the Amarte Natural Finish BB Cream (my review went up yesterday) and you can see me go from bare faced, to one layer of BB cream, to a full face. Amazing right?

My eDiva came in the mail Wednesday! It is still sitting in the corner of my bedroom waiting for me to fill it up. I have been so insanely busy in the last couple days that I haven’t had a chance to even reorganize my stash, which is something I genuinely love to do. I look forward to doing that this weekend and getting my review and full detail photos up for you very soon!

I am making my first YouTube video in months. I already filmed it and it is in the editing stages now. I think that it looks really good. My lighting looks good, which is the big reason I never filmed videos–poor lighting. Anyway. I think that you will like the video. I will post it here once it goes live! Go and subscribe to my channel so it will show up in your feed! LINK HERE!
That sums it up! Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings! I appreciate it greatly!
