6 days to order your 3D fiber lash mascara

Alright ladies, how would you like to "suprise" your BFF the ultimate make-up that she will use everyday and talk with you and her other friends?  The next 6 to 7 days I am hosting a virtual FaceBook party to order your 3D fiber lash mascara plus ordering pignemts that complement your eyes too.  

Since the summer months are winding down soon and the wedding planning and invites are being less and less mailed out, would you like to give the Bride-to-be,Mother of the bride, or the wedding party the best eye make-up that there is.  Besides going to Walgreens or Target to get the "best" mascara, eye shadow and eyeliner in one.  

With Younique, their products are never tested on aminals and all natural. The mascara does not have charcoal in it and will not dry out your lashes. Let alone have them become brittle or fall out.  

The Transplanting Gel and Natural Fibers to help create the appearance of incredible thickness and volume to your existing lashes.

While using this your lashes will not fall out or become brittle.  It all washes away with your favorite soap and water.  

If you would like to order, visit Stpehanie Guzman's Younique page please do so here:

Pinterest "gel" mani pedi hack

Who does not like a nice at home gel mani/pedi?  Well, I wanted to do a little research on the best "at home"  without breaking the bank.    

I went to Target, Walgreens, Kmart and Walmart to see what I can come up with. All the stores had the LED lights with the gel nail polish, nail cleaner, lint free squares.  But the prices ranges from 49.99-69.99.

So I went in Pinterest and found many "hacks" that involved DIY gel nails at home.  So the one that brought to my attention was the Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps Hardner, your choice of nail polish and American Classics Gelous advanced nail gel coat.  

So I tried it and just to let you ladies know, I am sold on this product.  The only thing you would have to do is use 2 coats of Gelous, 2 coats of your favorite nail polish and one coat of the Sally Hansen Hard as Wraps polish.  Wait about 1-3 minutes in between coats so they dry evenly.  I am in my 5th day and my toes look like they have been painted a day ago.  

Since I have used a glitter polish with this, use an alternating color.  Like a light green polish with a green glitter.  I have went to the Sally Beauty Supply store I purchased a Pure Acetone nail polish remover for this and it works great.  

Until next time,  enjoy the rest of your week

4th pf July weekend

There is nothing better than celebrating the 4th of July than spending it with your friends and family.   Even though it was a rewarding 3 day weekend for all (going to your families cabin) or staying in town, it is what matters most, our freedom.

The only thing that our family of 6 did was sit around the house while Abby took her nap, play outside with the neighbors and just had a little Barbeque.  Ribs, brats and a turkey burger with a side of potato salad was on our menu. 

Samantha and Emma had Matt's full attention on Friday so he took them to the water park near by while I stayed with Abby until Zack came home from his friends house.  But the piece and quiet always does a mother wonders. even if it's for a short time.

 

From all of us Spoden's to your family/friends, have a safe and Happy 4th of July!!!!

3D lashes? Yes please!!

Alright ladies I am sure that you are making big bucks with mascara and eye shadow let alone lip gloss.  My dear friend Stephanie Guzman is a make-up sales rep for a company for Yonique.   Stephanie also has a private Facebook page plus a make-up consultant at Yonique.  But let me tell you all, I am inspired by the 3 D mascara.  With all the pictures of mascara I am going to say,"Good bye"to Cover Girl or other mascara that you use on a daily basis.

So I am giving my friend Steph the opportunity to explain and give you make-up tips on what to do with your make-up. But please, if you would like to order from Stephanie, just inbox her your info from Yonique.

She will be the guest speaker on my blog so you and your friends can spread the word on the 3-D Lashes.

Until next time

Home made moon sand

The past summer week has come and gone.  But that does not mean that there isn't enough time to be creative with your kids, especially on rainy days.

About a year ago I needed a recipe for something for my preschooler's/kindergartners on a rainy day.  So 4 nights before I was teaching the class, I went on Pinterest to see what can make a 4 and 5 year old happy for more than 45 minutes.  If you have your own molds you can use those or any cookie cutter molds.  The sky is the limit, use your imagination.

So I typed in "Home made Moon Sand". On Pinterest there was many blogs that had recipes that just used baby oil and flour.
Yes friends, just 2 things that you really need to make moon sand: baby oil and flour.  The only thing I would suggest is combine baby oil with essential oil and flour.
If you are using your favorite essential  oil, make sure you use a drop or two until the fragrance is to your liking.

The only thing that I did was using 1 cup flour with a half cup of baby oil with a 1/2  teaspoon of essential oil.   
While mixing the baby oil with flour; add 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup flour until the mixture sticks together.  If the flour does not mix with the oil add more oil or flour.   Once the flour and oil holds together, the kids are ready to have fun.

If you have a play dough mat that you have laying around, let the kids have fun.  The "homemade moon dough" would last for months.  Please add different colors of food coloring to make your child's imagination take flight.

What other things can you make with flour and water or oil?

Till next time: Happy Crafting and use that imagination

Summer time starts NOW!!!

Since I haven't blogging in a few more months, it was time for me to let everyone know that I have been really busy.  With 2 kids playing traveling softball and baseball and a 6 year old in t-ball with a 16 month old watching on the side lines it's a lot of work.  Not to mention Matt and I working and making sure that Samantha, Zack and Emma gets to their practices, or games on time. We try to make ends meet when it comes to our kids. With the in-laws helping out to team-mates picking up, we are grateful to have supportive people in our lives.  

On a side note from practices, games and work Matt and I proud to announce that Samantha will enter the 7th grade, Zack in the 6th grade, Emma in the 1st grade and Abby waiting patiently to learn from her siblings.  But Abby does keep us on our feet no matter what she may get in to.

When I think of summer, I think of being outside and playing until the street lights come on. Samantha, Zack and Emma like to be out until the sky gets real dark and the mosquitos come out.  Abby is trying to figure out why her older siblings gets to stay up later.  Explaining to Abby that Samantha, Zack and Emma have a few minutes to play outside makes her a little more at ease but she wants to be with the big kids.   

Since I am doing my blogging on our lap top while Matt works on our "main" computer for sweepstakes, I will do my best to down load pictures of different recipes, Pinterest  hacks and my personal likes from Pinterest or in store products.

Thanks for being patient with me.

Nicole
