Sunsets

I love sunsets or rises! The sun just creates so many beautiful colors. I mean you hardly notice the construction mess because the sun looks so nice! Lol ok maybe not quite but you get the idea. Do you enjoy watching the sun meet the horizon? Share your favorite photo you've taken.

October/Halloween

With October just around the corner time is running to enjoy the beautiful fall weather in Chicago. I don't want to think about what comes next!

What are your plans for the month & halloween? Do you plan on visiting a pumpkin patch or any October Fests? How about decorating for halloween or going to a haunted house?

October is one of my favorite months! You can layer your outfits to stay warm and look cute! Plus there are so many different activities! I love the Gooberts pumpkin patch in Schaumburg.

I also want to make these ghost dresses for my parents front lawn for decoration.

And of course I gotta find a good haunted house to hit up! So excited for the events ahead?

Jewelry Show & Tell (haul)

So I have been on a bit of an earring kick lately!  These first three are from Old Navy and I like how they can add a little sparkle and color to any outfit.  From left to right they are red, orange and a peachy rose gold color (my favorites!). 

These I got from a jewelry sale at my job.  They travel to different buildings.  I believe they are called Art as Jewelry.  But It is a feline head with Ruby eyes.  I just think they are fun!  Marked as $35 but got them for 60% off!  They are sterling silver.

The ones on the left are also from Old Navy.  I love Blue and thought these were so pretty and might make my eyes pop a bit.  The ones on the right I got from a craft fair called Art in the Park.  They are hand made from magazines!  I like owning some original pieces and no two sets of these look the same.  A bit funky and eclectic, I love em!

What is your favorite jewelry item?  I love earrings!  In all colors and sizes.

They Misunderstood

There is so much music out here that is just horrible!  Kids these days know too much and don't have enough of an actual child hood because they are trying to grow up too fast!  Be careful what you do around kids and what you subject them too.  Let them keep that innocents for as long as possible.  Let them be a kid!

 

Now that I'm off my soap box I just wanted to let you know that Lupe Fiasco's album dropped yesterday!  This is some real music! (still not appropriate for kids) You may learn something!  My favorite song so far is 'Bitch Bad'.  Lupe Fiasco is really speaking the truth on this track!  He explains how you do things and may not realize how kids pick up and perceive things.  If you haven't checked out this song yet please do!  Then go buy the cd because you will not regret it!

 

'Bitch bad, woman good, lady better they misunderstood'

Lip Junkie

So I'll admit that I have a little addiction to lip products. Mostly chap sticks and glosses as I'm not big on lip color (I'm a chicken with lip color).

Those revlon lip stains in the giant pencil form came out and I had to have it! I got 2 colors and I really liked the product! The color was long lasting and buildable. Here is where my problem came in. I'm not sure if it was the crayon or the change in weather but my lips got super chapped and I've never really had that problem.

I stopped using the stains and picked up the eos and began using that mixed with other glosses when I realized that's all I had with me. At night I would just use vaseline hoping I could cure this icky problem before it got out of control and before I grossed my man out. The problem was inconsistent but the eos wasn't working like I'd hoped it would. So I found my trusty carmex in the bottom of my purse and after a few hours the dryness was gone!

Being at the bottom of the tube and jar! I stopped and picked up a new jar, tube and stick since they were buy 2 get 1 free. I've been using this all day and my lips are back to smooth! I will defiantly be sticking with carmex through the winter season!

Random Acts of Kindness

I had a very lovely birthday including some unexpected gifts.  My facebook was full of well wishes and my phone buzzed and rang all day with people wanting to talk to me and share the love.  That day and a few days after I was still feeling like I was walking on cloud nine!  This inspired me to spread my joy and do some random acts of kindness.  So far I brought a cake into work to share with my coworkers, stuck money in each of the vending machines, and shared some tacos with a few less fortunate people.  I am looking to keep this going!  Any ideas of what else I can do?  I know there are a lot of other things I want to do.  I will keep you updated!  What random acts of kindness have you committed?
