Alright that is all for today!

Happy 12-12-12!

SALE ALERT!

I went to Ulta tonight to do some Christmas shopping and remembered I needed more of my Urban Decay De-Slick setting spray. When I found the bottle it was the XL size and it was $29 bucks! I had a 20% off coupon but I still couldn't bring myself to spend that much money on myself right before Christmas. Plus I haven't ran completely out yet.

I hopped on my ole' telly-phone and checked the price at Sephora... no go.

It wasn't on their site.

So I just went with a trust Google search!

SALE BABBBBBAAAAAY!!

I found the XL size on Urban Decay's website for $18.00! Yes please! If I remember correctly, I paid way more than $18 bucks for the 4.0oz... this is 6.0oz!

PLUS

Free shipping for $35.00+

Sweet!

(I guess they changed the packaging for their setting sprays which means the old stuff is on sale!)

If you need some UD products, they have great products and there is a lot of great stuff on sale right now so...

RUN!

GO!

BUY SOME MAKEUP!

haha Happy Shopping Ladies!

Saturday Laughs

Today I am sharing with you some pictures that made me LOL this week!

Enjoy!

I freaking love this Grumpy Cat!

I'm part German so I really love this one!

Dog Photobomb!

i hate bugs

Have a great weekend!

Confessional Friday {Link Up with A Blonde Ambition}

Happy Friday!

1. I confess that I dress my dog up for holidays.

he loves it

2. I confess that I have a slight pink obsession.

iPad, Graphic Image planner, POP phone, iPhone 5

3. I confess that I spray painted my purse.

4. I confess that I love Elf. Probably one of my Top 5 Favorite Movies.

5. I confess that I am slightly pissed at Yankee Candle.

yeah... a passion for highly expensive candles

They blow up my email with coupons so I went in the store the other day to get 30% off on my total purchase... I found three of their holiday scents were Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off.

I sniffed the scents, checked the prices, and decided on the small tumbler. Long story short... I saw a price of $7.99 and assumed that was the price for the candle... then I get another for 50% off that price... then I get 30% off my total purchase. I got four of them, checked out, and the total was $36.00... should have been around $18.00!

It's either a "blonde moment" on my end or "marketing" on their end, but the price for one candle was $15.99, then 50% off that is $7.99. Needless to say I put two candles back and bought two. Then when I walked out of the store I realized I just paid $9.00 per candle! WTF! I never spend more than $5.00 on a "medium sized" candle. By the time I realized it I was pissed and already halfway through the mall.

Am I the only one that hates "putting something back" when checking out? I feel like the cashier gets offended or something that I think their crap is too expensive. Whatever. I gave Tyson his Christmas Cookie candle and told him to enjoy it because it cost me an arm-and-a-leg!

Happy Holidays!

Designing My New Makeup Vanity Room!

THIS HAS CONSUMED MY EVERY WAKING MINUTE OF LIFE!

AND SLEEP!

Okay kidding... but I have been thinking about it A LOT.

So in case you haven't picked up on this yet... I live with Tyson in Joplin part time and I live with my 'rents at the Lake part time. So far, so good. With that being said, Tyson's house is rather...

manly

Which I'm okay with...

I have changed a few things, thrown a lot of crap away, cleaned some stuff that ain't neva been cleaned, and so on... you get the point.

So he has this random room... upstairs... with the our bedroom, the spare bedroom, and the bathroom.

We call it the "crap room"... you'll see why.

It's the "crap room" for two reasons.

1. This is where we put the crap we don't have a place for.

2. The cats crap here.

Makes sense to me.

So this crap room used to be WAAAAAY worse. When I met Tyson, I couldn't see the floor.

It had two more shelves in it, crap laying on every surface (including the floor), and all of that wire was sprawled all over the floor.

I nearly had a coronary.

I slowly started cleaning it and this is where I am today.

much better... trust me

(this is the wall to the left of the doorway)

SO.

I have this disease where I can never "fully" get ready. I take a shower, lotion up, brush my teeth, do my makeup, and then...

screeeeeeeeeeching halt

Hair never gets done.

(or sometimes the hair gets done and no makeup)

(or sometimes neither get done)

I never ever knew that most girls SIT DOWN to get ready.

SAY WHAAAT!?

I stand at the dang sink and do my thang.

My feet start to hurt, I get hot from the shower steam, I'm blocking the sink and Tyson can't do anything...

I NEED A VANITY!

The crap room is the perfect size to transform into a makeup vanity room. I went to Lowe's and started looking at cabinetry, lighting, paint, and instantly started pestering Tyson to finish the sheet rock and put a damn light fixture in there.

Here is my working-vision!

SWEET RIGHT?

Once Tyson finishes the sheet rock and the overhead light fixture, I get to paint!

Ikea has most of the furniture pieces that I am going to shove in this tiny room. This "room simulator" is for a kitchen, so I had to use their cabinetry pieces and not the actual pieces I will be purchasing.

These are the pieces I have picked out.

All that shoved on one wall hopefully!

I'm gonna jam those theater system components in the Pax wardrobe along with all those damn wires.

(Wondering about the wires? Tyson used to do home theater systems so when he wired his own house, he never really finished the job... clearly.)

The cleaning supplies, clear tote boxes, and that other crap will go in the Pax wardrobe, too.

The Micke desk will house my makeup...

and the Alex unit will house more makeup along with my hair and beauty items!

Here is my inspiration!

I have to find a leopard chair!

So what do you think? Do you like? Do you have any suggestions?

Let me know!

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Last night was my favorite night in all of television.

The VS Fashion Show!

yeeeeeeeah buddy!

What was that you said?

Oh you missed it?

Don't worry... I'll recap.

Basically you didn't miss much. I don't think it was as good this year as previous years.

Justin Bieber was not that great. He was more interested in the hot chicks walking by him than singing his song... and he had on some really STUPID looking pants.

Rihanna tried to de-pants one of the girls...

Don't worry though... Bruno Mars killed it!

pretty cute flag outfit, huh? I need one!

So they did this cute "Calendar Girls" theme for part of the show where they had 12 girls, each wearing an outfit themed for each month. Super cute idea right!?

No they didn't forget November... they intentionally left November out of the show because her ensemble offended someone.

November... Thanksgiving... Pilgrims... Indians...

Makes sense to me!

Anyways...

Moving on with BICYCLE GIRL!

Even Justin Bieber looks scared.

So besides all that weird crap going on...

Alessandra looked amazing...

per usual...

Adriana rocked it! Might I add that she had her baby LESS THAN two months ago!?

All the ladies looked beautiful!

Let's just say being a Victoria's Secret Angel doesn't suck.

Dear Santa...

21 Days Till Christmas!!

Have you started shopping?

I have... I'm nowhere near done yet, though!

I love, love, love giving gifts.

Probably one of my Top 5 Favorite Things To Do.

I love seeing the look on peoples' faces when they receive gifts. And it's even better when I give someone a gift that they actually like/will use. So obviously I feel the same when someone gifts me something I actually like/will use.

This brings me to one of my other Top 5 Favorite Things To Do...

Make Lists

7. White Yukon Denali

Maybe those peeps who won the lottery will see my wishlist! haha

All the "wishing" is fun and stuff but mostly what I want for Christmas is for my dad to be happy. Asking for him to get "better" is a long shot... but asking for him to be at peace is not. I pray for him to release any fear, worries, and stress so that he can rest and heal. It just doesn't feel like Christmas when my dad isn't in the spirit.

So what is on your Christmas Wishlist? Please share!
