Toadarrific Vinyls - (updating......)

Here is a new vinyl company i came across on facebook! I tried out their decal's and i am in love with them also! They offer way more than Vinyl It Up! So recently i have been getting her monthly vinyl's, custom ones and anything that looks like i could have some fun with! The decal's are so cute! I will be adding pictures in a few of all the ones i got! I am linking my photo album of pics also not sure what i still got on my phone for them! :) So i will be back with the rest of this blog with the next few days!!




blog post is updating.........

A Monday Blog Post!

Update on this Lovely, Cold Monday! :) Gonna give you some monday ramblings! Hang on and don't quit halfway through it! 

I just want to give everyone a few updates on some stuff i am working on. I have been doing a mad amount of stuff lately. My kids keep me busy like always so most times when i am doing a blog post for everyone i am on my phone doing it. So most times i need to get myself on here and fix it. Then i take whatever photos i placed in my blog and organize them. So it takes some time to get just one post done! I don't know how these people do them daily. Shit sometimes i change my mind 2 days later and then edit them, Most times i let people know when i update my blog. 

I don't talk about my kids much or the struggles with them. Wait i don't believe i have ever said anything. lol but here it goes. I am gonna fill everyone in on some things that i rarely share with people that i don't know personally. People judge other's and i don't need people judging me for my children and for things that are beyond my own control. 

I have an 11 yr old son named Carl who has Global Developmental Delay (GDD), Smith Magenis Syndrome (SMS), PDD-NOS & Intellectual Disability. He is a severely special needs child which requires constant (24 hr/7 days a week) watching! Yes that means someone has to be right there with him at all times. He is an 11 yr old who has a brain of a 2 yr old. Yes it's challenging but he is the best kid you could ever ask for. His needs are there and are always #1. I currently have a facebook page for Carl. Called Carl's Journey which you can click ---> Here <--- to check it out! Give it a like, share it. Carl will appreciate it! :-)

I also have a 6yr old daughter named Lillee who apparently thinks she is a teenager and has goals! lol Yes she has goals in life. Amazing when you don't limit your children in life. She wants to be a makeup artist and a rock star! lol She is an ambitious one! She is in Kindergarten and has tested in the Superior range already. She is a smart one that wants a YouTube channel of her own! She is too young (even though there is already 6yr olds doing the same thing she wants to do) but still in my eyes yes way too damn young.

So on top of all the kids got going on i have stuff for myself & then i keep up with the husbands stuff. Ugh ya a wife & mom's work is really never done. haha but i do take some time out for myself to give me a sanity break when needed. I love the help i get for Carl cause it gives me time to settle and put my attention to Lillee. Btw having 2 kids (one severely special needs) alone is a task in itself people! It gives me the chance to do my nail's and show them to the world via this blog. Somedays i wonder if people really do read these. I know some do cause we discuss them through message. I get no comment's and i wouldn't really know if people even come here if it wasn't for this counter on my blog. Do i think it's correct sometimes? Hell NO!! I think it likes to fuck with me honestly. So as my time doing all this just to help me keep my head straight actually does not come as often as i would like. This is just for fun & i am not out for a buck over my pictures or opinion. If you like it hey cool come back and check it out again. If not it's no skin off my ass unless your an asshole about it. I don't care about opinions unless i need/want to. 

If i haven't scared you off yet here is some more stuff! :-)

I am a consultant with Jewelscent. I have been working my tail off to get my own personal goals with Jewelscent achieved. I don't know what i have to do to get people to at least test it out! Buy one damn candle. If you don't like it then hey don't buy it again! IF you love them buy more and host a party to get FREE PRODUCTS... Ya i said FREEEEE!!!! Ya got that? So why do people not want to host a party! It's like hey i love this i am hosting a party come see what is happening and decide if you want to try this your self! You could get so many more people to see what kind of awesome product this is! It's worth it in the end all cause of the jewelry inside! What if you got a token on your very first candle? Did you know that means you already made 3xs back what you paid for that candle? Ya people think about it? Take a damn chance! I am not asking you to spend your retirement. 

If you would like to check it out head on over to:

My Facebook Group (i place deals & codes in there) 

Ahhh ok it's time for me to return from blogland and go do some wifely duties! It never stops! lol Hope your Monday is Fabulous & Continue to stay fabulous!!

Makeup & Brushes - My own look at MAC Cosmetics Brushes

I am a makeup fanatic in a weird kind of way. lol I have a huge interest in Makeup and putting it on. I love changing my looks. I have a knack for making my self unrecognizable. haha So I own Makeup brushes that I got off Amazon! They are not of the best quality but at the time they were cheap. Got them for a good price too! But sadly i am already gonna need a new set. My old one's which will go to my 6yr old daughter who wants to become a Makeup Artist and a Rock Star. They are still in great shape it's just do I really need all of these damn brushes?? It's alot of brushes to remember. Now to know exactly what each does may be a challenge for me! I am not a professional at this makeup and putting different looks together and all that! I like (ok love) making myself different.... Like i make myself up all the time! So i kinda started the whole Makeup Artist dream in my child! Hey she is pretty good so i am taking that and running with it! lol My daughter can take some crappy looking colors and make a bombing look with it. How she does it i don't know. So here i learn all this stuff to make her dreams come true! She does want to start her own YouTube channel but due to me thinking that she is way too young it's gonna be a while! I won't exploit my kid for any gain! It's just not right in my eyes!! Even if they beg you to death! lol

I am kinda set in my ways on how i do my routine! But i have been looking into doing different looks and stuff that would normally be outside of my comfort zone! I am gonna give a general on how i go about making a beautiful face! :-)
What products i normally will use on a full face.
1. I prime my face.
I currently am using one from Julep called Blank Canvas Mattifying Face Primer
To Join Julep Click Join Up HERE
2. I do use foundation and concealer. 
My concealer is one that you can just buy in the drug store or a store such as Walmart.
3. I use Eye Primer. 
I usually just use a moisturizing cream on my eyes before i place my concealer on and then my Shadow! 
4. Eye Shadow & Eye Liner. 
All my products for eye shadows and eyeliner's are from Julep! 

That's all i do! I am learning all this contour and highlighting shit. I am confused as all hell. But in my defense i got the eyes down bitch! A Future YouTube video will be done! :) lol

So these are super nice brushes! I obviously want a few of these but not them ALL!! I need to pick and choose which i would like. 
This list will/may have a description under it in (ALL CAPS). It's just for your information! I will be getting all the info on each brush as i go! This shit takes a really long hot minute! haha

Some are for $16.00, while others are as high as $50.00. In my opinion, if any other website is claiming to sell MAC Cosmetic Brushes for a very low price, I doubt the brushes are real.

Winstonia See-Thru Clear Transparent Stamper with Cap

Recently I had an email from an Amazon seller to test and review one of their products! So I said yes of course! I was asked to review the Winstonia See-Thru Clear Transparent Stamper with Cap so why not I am up for different things! 

So here is my review!!

About: 
Winstonia See-Thru Clear Transparent Stamper with Cap & Scraper Card for Nail Art Stamping

Stars: 4 1/2 
Shop: HERE
Review:
When i got the stamper i looked it all over! Then i cleaned it via direction's on the Web. Once i got it clean and dried (damn process takes way too long for me) I picked a color that was gonna be dark enough for the stamp to be shown. So I took Poparazzi's Money Honey and went to town on a stamping plate. LOL but in all honesty i didn't have all my tools i normally would have with me when i started this! I wanted my review to be honest but not be a hot mess. Wait technically this has already turned into a hot mess! lmao

So 2 designs were done! ( Stamping Plate Manufacture/creator is unknown! But the code on it is HN05-A) as you can tell from the picture below that the designs are pretty cool! I did the first image without a problem. It needs more fine tuning! lol
Stamping Plate Design
The Stamper Head with a design on it!! 
The top is very See Through 
Its not that small and it's not too big!

A girl who has a simple request....

I don't know how to start this off. So here it goes!!
My friend Jess asked me to share her go fund me page that is for her daughter. Aiyanna.
Aiyanna has one simple request for her father Brandon!!

SHE WANTS HER DAD TO HAVE A HEADSTONE.....

So heres the thing. He died of a heroin overdose. From what they understand he was drugged. The guy he was in the cell with made a batch of hooch and put heroin in it. Brandon has never ever done heroin in his life so they truly dont believe he drank it knowing that was in there. And the police are making it out like he brought the drugs into the jail. Hes been in jail since 2009 how the hell did he get it? Lol. Makes no sense. His mom has a lawyer and everything trying to get the truth. Originally they were going to charge the cell mate with drug induced homicide but decided not to last minute. And they truly think that's why nobody wants to help. People are looking at it like why help a heroin addict? Or thats how they feel they look at.

Aiyanna gets upset going there every week and seeing just dirt laying there. When all the other graves have these nice headstones with the peoples names. She wants that for her daddy as well. Funeral cost his mom $8000 which shes still paying off and cant afford to put up anymore money.

The news story about Brandon!

So the headstone is gonna got about 1,200. The cemetery told his mom the cheapest was $800 plus cost to dig and place it so about $1200. But they found a site that has them for about $350. But right now they cant even afford that.

Holiday Mani's & Polishes

Down below your gonna see some cool pictures! So i normally take pictures threw every mani so i have some fun little facts that i learned as i went along on these polishes to share. Sometimes i put them in my blog posts and sometimes i don't! Well this one i did.

I purchased a Christmas trio from Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer. Yes i know i have to be obsessed with them i am always posting about them! You want to know why??? Well it's one of the only polish brands that will stick to my nails longer than 3 days. My nails always have had this shitty shinny coat on them. I normally have to wash my hands, then rub them with polish remover and buff them a bit. With this polish i don't even have to do any of that lol My nails are not like most that swatch polishes. I am a SAHM, I am busy nonstop. My hands represent the mom on the go with no time for her self. I may not do a clean up depends on how much time i have. I always take a pic before clean up.

Christmas Polishes

Make It Merry - A Christmas Duo that has 3 polishes
So the polishes were $30 and they were full size or pay $20 for the mini's.
You can check out her other awesome polishes HERE

Santa Baby -  A cherry red holo
Under The Mistletoe -  A green holo
Winter Kisses -  A slightly scattered holo & shimmery blue

I had 2 mani's! I started working with them all and as i went i changed my mind. I normally do that while i am mid mani. lol But in the end they both came out awesome. I will admit that i am always forgetting to put a top coat on my nails, so one mani has a top coat on and the other don't. Can u tell what one does? lol You prob will find this hard. Also the one with the top coat peeled quicker than the one with out! Fun fact there! Another fun fact, Don't mix Julep's Liquid Holographic polish with Seventy Seven, It makes the whole mani peel off! I have pictures to show for that below.

#1 was with the Santa Baby & Under The Mistletoe.

I did an alt color combo on this. They were beautiful, loved the holo in them and didn't dull fast. This lasted on my hands for about a week.

#2 was with Winter Kisses, Platinum 2.0 & Julep's Vanessa

I loved this polish, it gave me so much sparkle with the holo. But i topped it with Juleps Vanessa and on my ring finger was Platinum 2.0 from Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer, I wanted them to look like snow was glistening on them! Look was accomplished. It spent a week on my nails.


New Year's Polishes

New Year's Eve Duo!!
New Year, New Blue - Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer
Glittery New Year - Turtle Tootsie Polish

In the duo you will receive:
2 mini polishes - "New Year, New Blue" & "Glittery New Year"
1 mini top coat & 1 glass file
1 lip balm - Strawberry Vanilla Mint, either lightly tinted or untinted (random selection)
Choice between pink or black sequin bag

It was $20 and it had 2 mini polishes. One from Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer & One from Turtle Tootsie Polish. They also came with a cute little bag (black or pink) mine was pink, a nail file, a chap stick maid by Seventy Seven Nail Lacquer called Kissing Fools (love it) it's the one i received and a top coat. Yes they are mini but they are awesome also! The pictures will blow you away!!

I just did a regular mani with an accent nail. 3 lite-med thick layer's of Seventy Seven's polish with 1 coat of the Glittery New Year. It could easily be awesome with one heavy layer but in my opinion it's better to layer more that to have a glop on your nails. I let mine completely dry before adding more layers. My ring finger on both hands are normally picked as the accent nail. But i changed it up this time.
