Look for the day...

I have to get the shorts and tights from Kohl's to pull off my new Christmas outfit, but this was the look for the day:


Since I have green eyes, I use purple a lot. This particular look was created by using an eye shadow kit from the Sally store, eyeliner by Wet N Wild, liquid eyeliner by Hard Candy, and mascara for green eyes from Almay.  I used baby powder on my lashes to make them thicker/longer looking and corn starch for the finishing powder.  It makes my makeup last so long!


I normally wear gloss, but I switched up to a lipstick that came in a makeup bag my dad's ex gave to me for Christmas...

I recently got my hair dyed; I wanted ruby red but I guess my hair was too blond for it to take to a darker hue.  To make the waves, I used a crimper and Not Your Mother's Sea Salt Spray.  I love the spray, it works on your hair whether it's pre-crimped or not.

I always get compliments on those shoes, would you believe they're from Avon?  Most people don't. O.o  Slap on a pair of skinny jeans, a tank underneath (not exactly the same color) and a sweater.  Done!  Comfy and cute...except for the shoes.  :D

Melted Crayon Art

This is my first attempt at melted crayon art, don't judge too harshly.  It was extremely messy, but I tried to make it that sepia tone on one side and the rainbow on the other side.  It proved to be harder than I thought...

Sorry the picture is kinda crappy, I didn't get up close with it.  The canvas is also taped where Dorothy is cause it ripped when I was moving to my new apartment.  The crayon really did get all over the place, I recommend doing this project on a surface covered in newspaper or outside.  It's great to do with the kids though!

Gingerbread Men

My friends and I made some yummy, tiny, and a little horrorific gingerbread men.  Here are some pictures:



Megan's business gingerbread men.  One has a mustache, one has a tie.  They're very professional.


My cannibal gingerbread man.  The horror!

Did you vote?!

I sure hope you did!  So excited to watch TV again.  Haha!  Will be making the itty bitty gingerbread army today sometime in celebration...and also because I will be starting a new diet.  Then you can check out how it's going from time to time.  I'll be trying the famous 17 Day Diet, if you'd like to know how it works and if it works.
