Totally Tuesday #13 // Name my Photo Booth // Change my Life

Helllloo, I hope you all have had a great Tuesday so far! Mine has been pretty good. Work is always great. I love seeing my kiddos! This week is Teacher Appreciation week! I feel so loved and appreciated! One of my kids (and his parents) got me these goodies!


There was one more bag of pretzels but I already ate it! It was so sweet for her to give us all these things! I'm dying to eat the chocolate chip muffin. It's huge!!! 

So are probably wondering what this post title is talking about. Well Jesse and I are buying a photo booth and starting a business out of it. We are so very excited to, not only take this step as becoming a business but also take this step in our relationship. Having your own business comes with a lot of responsibility. We have spent countless hours thinking over if this is a great idea for us. We came to the conclusion that a photo booth would be a great investment for us! And with that being said, we need a name for our business. That is where you guys come in! It would mean so much if you guys could throw in some suggestive names for our business! Anything and everything is welcomed! We have some silly names in mind but we still need more ideas :)

A Few of my Favorite Spring Lipsticks


Hello my Lovelies! I keep saying it's spring time, but seriously it's spring time. No more cold days, no more staying inside. You guys have no idea how happy I am. I actually want to get dressed and look pretty now. I want to go out and explore nature! Anyone else love going and just looking at the beautiful flowers blooming?

Now days I don't wear much makeup, especially during work. As you know I work at a daycare so it's not like looking flawless is a priority. One thing I do though to make myself look more put together than I really am is to put a bright lipstick on.

These are some of my favorite spring/summer lipsticks. I have more I wanted to show you but my bag has disappeared so this will be in two parts, yay!!

March Ipsy Bag



Hello! It's late Saturday night and I am all by myself while my fiance is at work. I hate him being gone late at night. I know it's already been three months since we moved to San Marcos, but I still get kind of nervous being in a new place. It seems like a trustworthy place though here, so I shouldn't be worried. It's funny because all I ever hear about San Marcos and Texas State is that it's a party city, but I have yet to see or hear one party. Who knows!

I have had an Ipsy subscription for a year now, probably more. I don't remember. If you don't know what ipsy is you can visit their website here. It is a monthly subscription service for $10 a month. You will receive a cute little makeup bag with 4-5 skin, hair, nail, or beauty products in it ranging from sample size to full size.

At first you will take a test to be able to personalize your bag to your likes, skin tone, hair color, etc. You can however retake this quiz whenever you like to change up your bag.

Once you receive your products you can go onto the website to see a full detailed description for all the products. You can also give each product a review to sway your bag into a direction you like more. For example: They used to send me finger nail polish like every month. I never paint my nails so it was just no use in getting them. So I went online and told them how I didn't like getting polish and they stopped sending me some.

They also have a point system where you can earn points for giving feedback and referring friends to Ipsy. You can then turn in your points to receive nice prizes.

I feel like ipsy is a really great, and cheap subscription service that lets you discover so many new brands. I have received so many new things that I absolutely love and rebuy to this day!

I want to start doing a review on the products I get each month. So here today is the March Ipsy Bag.
Btw some of the photos are on the blurry side. The camera I use is so retarded sometimes. I cannot wait to upgrade. If you have any questions about any of the products, please feel free to ask!

Sunday Some Things #7

This week has been a crazy one!! I have been trying to get all my photos set up so I can get them up on here and some one problem after another kept happening. Then Friday came and Jesse's family was in town. Oh and then I got sick yesterday. It was not fun at all. But I finally have everything situated and tomorrow I will finally be able to put the photos up! I decided against putting up my family on here, but it's okay though because I have lot of other photos! So I will get those up tonight!

And here we go!



Right now I am just using this ugly plain sports bra. I really want this beautiful bralette. It's so simple and lace-y. You will be in my closet soon. 




Wish it wasn't getting warmer because this dress is too freaking pretty!

Sunday Some Things #6

This week has been a sure crazy one!! It was nonstop and I barely got any sleep. Like I said in my last post I went back home for 4 days. I didn't have a computer to make any posts. Then when I got home on wednesday I made that post!

So Thursday and Saturday we were at SXSW all day, literally. I believe each day we were there for 10 hours. My feet need a break!!! Friday it was raining really hard so we went grocery shopping and watched tv. I'll go into more detail about sxsw when I get the photos edited and uploaded. That will be a long post for sure! I start back at work tomorrow so I'll get it out as soon as I can! 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! I know it's been raining here in most parts of Texas. I just wish it would stop already! I want to change my closet to my spring clothes and the weather gets playing tricks on me. How is the weather where you are?

And here is this weeks list!

*photo cred to mobilexpert*


Okay this one is a big one for me! I bought the Galaxy S3 two years ago, I had it for about a year and then after multiple unfortunate incidents it was just horribly done. I didn't have insurance either due to some other reason. So basically I was in a pretty sad situation. I went without a phone for about a month until I bought the phone I have now which is a iphone 4. That poor thing is holding on so much. BUT this month I get my upgrade this month. I want either the Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge. I can't decide which one. To be completely honest the number one thing I care about is the camera. I know that the Iphone 6 has a slightly better camera than this but it's very debatable. I also love having techie help, if that makes sense. Google Now is the best thing ever and I hated that the iphone doesn't have it. This is why Android phone will forever be better. Sorry Iphone lovers. :) 



This is pretty cool. I can just see Jesse and I making little notes for each other to come home to.

My Current Go To Makeup Routine

Okay so this post isn't going to be super detailed in the photos. I wanted it to be more detailed but I have yet to figure out my dang camera. I get too anxious to make posts that I'm just like forget it, I'll update it later. It's more of a talk about makeup. 

I used to be super into makeup. Since I have my cosmetology license you know I know how to do makeup. Not like brilliantly, but good enough. Well about the middle of last year is when my fiance (then boyfriend) and I had finally decided to move to San Marcos. Because of that we had to cut back on things like crazy to save as much money as we could. (which was hard because we love food). So I decided to cut back on my makeup spending. It was so hard at first. I'd watch all the youtube videos about the newest products. Which granted yes, most were set in the west where apparently they get the newest stuff first. I would literally make a list of everything I wanted to get and get dissapointed when I know I shouldn't be buying it. Well around September I believe, I saw this blog where a girl was going a whole month without makeup. I was like hey! I've never kept up with anything for a whole month straight. I thought to myself that this would be a great plan. No makeup would be my skin getting a break and trying hard to get it clear and smooth, and also saving money on makeup. 

Let me be the first to say, that month was a changing point in my life. I went a whole month without makeup. Except like two days because I had wedding and a quinceanera to attend. In that month that I went without makeup, my face felt like it could actually breathe for once. I felt more ~fresh~ , my skin was clearing, and hey!.. extra time to sleep in. Who doesn't love extra sleep. It felt so great that when I DID put on makeup, my face instantly felt heavy unable to breath. Does that make sense? It just didn't seem right. Which was great because I learned to love the natural me. I actually prefered it.  
Fast forward to now. What has changed?

Well I still to this day (since middle of last year), I have spent a grand total of about $50 on makeup. Fifty freaking dollars. Are you kidding me? That's makeup suicide! Not kidding. I mean I know people who spend just that amount on a bottle of foundation. Giorgio Armani anyone? Yeah that bottle is $62 people! Don't get me wrong, I would killlll for a bottle of the Luminous Silk Foundation. Annnnywho, so yeah, $50 and that is on a much of items. (NYX always has BOGO sales at ulta) 
The best part? I am completely, totally, 100% okay with that! 

I do put on makeup now, but I keep it to a minimum most days. Kind of like the "no makeup makeup" look but with a few tweaks. I can still "see" my skin under the foundation and my eyes aren't completely dolled up. I love it, I really do. I feel fresh and pretty haha! 

Without further ado here is what I wearing at the moment!

It's getting cold outside














Hello my lovelies,

So I'm hoping my now most of you can tell that it's starting to get cold outside. If you live in Texas like I do then when it gets cold, you really don't know how to handle it. And you definitely do not know how to dress. I myself struggle with that from time to time. I have put together some outfits on Polyvore for y'all to give you some ideas!

I thought to myself that this would be a great plan. No makeup would be my skin getting a break and trying hard to get it clear and smooth, and also saving money on makeup. 

Let me be the first to say, that month was a changing point in my life. I went a whole month without makeup. Except like two days because I had wedding and a quinceanera to attend. In that month that I went without makeup, my face felt like it could actually breathe for once. I felt more ~fresh~ , my skin was clearing, and hey!.. extra time to sleep in. Who doesn't love extra sleep. It felt so great that when I DID put on makeup, my face instantly felt heavy unable to breath. Does that make sense? It just didn't seem right. Which was great because I learned to love the natural me. I actually prefered it.  
Fast forward to now. What has changed?

Well I still to this day (since middle of last year), I have spent a grand total of about $50 on makeup. Fifty freaking dollars. Are you kidding me? That's makeup suicide! Not kidding. I mean I know people who spend just that amount on a bottle of foundation. Giorgio Armani anyone? Yeah that bottle is $62 people! Don't get me wrong, I would killlll for a bottle of the Luminous Silk Foundation. Annnnywho, so yeah, $50 and that is on a much of items. (NYX always has BOGO sales at ulta) 
The best part? I am completely, totally, 100% okay with that! 

I do put on makeup now, but I keep it to a minimum most days. Kind of like the "no makeup makeup" look but with a few tweaks. I can still "see" my skin under the foundation and my eyes aren't completely dolled up. I love it, I really do. I feel fresh and pretty haha! 

Without further ado here is what I wearing at the moment!

It's getting cold outside














Hello my lovelies,

So I'm hoping my now most of you can tell that it's starting to get cold outside. If you live in Texas like I do then when it gets cold, you really don't know how to handle it. And you definitely do not know how to dress. I myself struggle with that from time to time. I have put together some outfits on Polyvore for y'all to give you some ideas!
