Teatox Tuesday!

Week one of my teatox is done!
This morning I weighed in at 174 :(

I've been counting calories and haven't drank soda! I still have a cup of coffee in the mid morning. I've noticed that I have a tiny bit more energy. This has not surpressed my cravings for sweets. I eat 4-5 small meals a day with 1 or 2 snacks and I just always feel hungry. I haven't been eating junk. Lots of fruits and veggies. So far I am not very impressed. Yesterday I started a little at home work out. Maybe incorporating that will help give me that extra boost! Also once the weather stays nice and the snow melts off the trails in our town my husband and I will be walking or running daily! Although I haven't actually lost any weight I do feel skinnier. Does that even make sense haha? It does to me! I feel as though my belly has gotten smaller. Maybe all the water weight and bloating has gone away? It is a little discouraging to not see a lower weight but I will continue!

Xoxo!

Teatox Tuesday!

I am finally starting my Skinny Teatox! I pushed it off a few weeks because starting a diet during PMS week seemed impossible! Every Tuesday for the next 4 weeks I will update you on my results/feelings on this!

This comes in a 7 days, 14 day and 28 day cleanse.

I got the 28 day cleanse!

The daytime tea is supposed to give you a steady supply of energy, boost your metabolism and helps suppress cravings for sweets. The day time is a loose leaf tea, you will need tea bags or a tea steeper. This is meant to be drunk in the morning or throughout the afternoon.

The night time tea is the cleanse part. This does contain senna which is a natural laxative. Similar to a colon cleanse this will flush your system of all the toxins! The night time tea comes already in tea bags and it to be drunk every other night!

My weight today is 174 lbs.

UGH!

I took a picture of my body today and will post that on day 28 with a picture of my body that day so if you follow my journey you will get to see the before and after results!

I will let you know weekly what my weightloss is (if any) and how the tea is making me feel.

For optimal results you are supposed to incorporate this with a healthy diet and exercise. 

I will be counting my calories. No soda. 1 coffee per day and atleast 8 glasses of water. I will also be doing either an at home workout or walking/running depending on the weather! 

I am terrible with diets and motivation but I think I've hit my rock bottom with my fatness lol. I am so unhappy with the way that I look. I am used to weighing 135-140lbs. I am still holding all my baby weight from when I gave birth in November. It isn't just a weightloss journey either. I really want to be healthier and have more energy. I feel like i'm just barely chugging along everyday. I just want to sleep and lay around. I'm tired of being tired!!

Join me on my journey! Let me know if you have tried this tea and what your thoughts are if you have! Also let me know what diets/exercise plans you follow!

Wish me luck!

Colour Pop Lippie Stix!

Who has heard of Colour Pop Cosmetics? I am obsessed with Kathleen Lights on YouTube and she created a lip color them, which is how I heard about this brand. I recently received my first order and instantly fell in love! Today lets talk about the lippie stix I got. I ordered three colors, each color is of course a matte finish! These go on so smooth! The shape makes them super easy to apply! Each lippie stix also has a matching lip pencil (or almost all do). But I never wear lip liners so I didn't order any. They don't have a bad smell and I think the packaging is super cute! I got Lumiere (to support Kathleen Lights), the color Grind and Cookie. They are not drying on the lips and you can get a few hours wear out of them! Did I mention they are only FIVE dollars?!? Super affordable!

   

Grind, Lumiere and Cookie

Grind

Lumiere

Cookie which is the most perfect nude!

I also bought a blush and 3 shadows! Stay tuned for those!

Jaclyn Hill inspired!

If you open the dictionary and search for the word slacker I think my picture is there as the definition! I have not felt like myself for atleast 3 weeks. I am always tired. I'm usually up around 7:30 but lately all i want to do is sleep and even when I do sleep in I just want to sleep more. I haven't been doing my makeup at all i'm just so blah! The skin around my nose has also been so dry because i've been sick so I haven't wanted to makeup my face. I've been munching on ice a lot so I'm wondering if I might be slighty anemic again. That would explain my tiredness. Anyways I wanted to post something because I sat down and was inspired by Jaclyn Hill's Valentines day makeup tutorial! She did a light pink lip but since I've been slacking on the makeup challenge I thought I could incorporate that. The challenge is bright which is why I went with this lip instead!
My eyes are the Tartelette palette! Lips is Maybelline matte in 'Fainting for Fuchsia'!

I've been on the hunt for an old desk I can refinish into a vanity! No luck thus far. Hubby and I are going to head to Jubilee tonight and fingers crossed there will be one! Once I've got my own space and room for all my stuff I'll be doing more with my blog! Its kind of an annoyance because I have no room and everything is so unorganized!

Who else loves Jaclyn Hill?! She is one of my favorites! Hope you guys enjoy the look! Hers is a million times better but I tried that's all that matters!

What are your plans for Valentines day? I believe my husband and I are just going out to dinner! Nothing fancy!

"No makeup" makeup look!

Super simple and quick today! When I don't want to take the time to do my makeup and I just want something I can do in 5 minutes this is the look! Can be paired with any lip!

Products used:
❤ Too faced primed poreless face primer
❤ Urban Decay Naked skin liquid foundation
❤Maybelline fit me matte and poreless translucent setting powder
❤ Palladio blush in 'berry pink'
❤Too faced better than sex mascara
❤NYX soft matte lip cream in 'sydney'

Tonight we are taking our boys, my sons friend and his sister to Old Country Buffet for dinner and then to The Works which is like a big arcade! Super excited! They are at our house ALL the time. It is not my place to judge their parents, glad that we are able to make them feel 'loved'. They might as well be ours lol. I hope they love it! Nahelis's birthday is the 9th so this is just a little something for that! I also did her hair! She wanted red so we did some red! Brendon lost is top tooth today! His teacher said he was playing with it all day long at school!

New favorite foundations!

Hey love

bugs!

Today's makeup challenge is sunset!

Here the is look I created! 

I used my Milani bella eyeshadows! I tend to smoke out the outer v so today I decided to darken the inner part of my eye! When I picture the sunset I think of the summer time, when the sky goes from pink and orange to deep blue! 

I've got Wet N Wild's "just peachy" on my lip!

Hope you like!

I tried the Maybellline fit me foundation when it first came out. At that time I didn't know about skin types and what worked with what, so I bought it and hated it. I have oily skin so it was terrible on me! I couldn't wait to get my hands on the matte and poreless! My CVS and Walmart are always so late to get everything but I finally got my hands on it and I love it so much! The only thing I don't like is how fast it drys so you must blend it out super fast! The coverage is great. It doesn't feel cakey or heavy! I got mine in 112 natural ivory and I just got the translucent powder to set it with! 

My new FAVORITE foundation is Urban Decay Naked Skin. This makes my face look flawless! This is my first high end foundation definitely worth the extra money! I got the liquid and I also got the powder foundation! I watched a ton of reviews and a bunch said your skin looks even more flawless when you set this foundation with the foundation powder. It is medium coverage but can be built up to have full coverage! It feels so light. It honestly feels like there is nothing on my face! It is just AMAZING! I am so happy with it! The liquid is $39 and I believe the powder is $36! Again well worth the money!

                                                                                 

The powder foundation comes in this super cute bag!

This compact is very light weight! I thought it was going to be heavy but its not at all! 

If you are looking for a flawless face I recommend both of these foundations! Revlon color stay has been my favorite for years but I think these top that!

What's your favorite foundation? Drugstore and/or high end!

Back from the Dead!

Hey loveys!!

I'm back! And I've got a TON to share! 

Last week was just not a good week for me. PMS to the max and I did not want to do a thing. I was so tired, so grumpy and my face was horrible with break outs so I thought I'd give it time to breathe!

I bought my FIRST high end makeup product the other day and I wanted to share my thoughts on it!

The Tartelette palette by Tarte!

It is an all matte eyeshadow palette!

I love the packaging! I think the colors are so so pretty!

It is about 5 inches by 4 inches

The colors are all pretty neutral. 

This picture was taken with flash, I wanted this palette for the pinky color but on me it does not look pinky at all so I was a tad disappointed.

Top Row

free spirit, force of nature, dreamer, multi-tasker

Second Row

caregiver, natural beauty, bestfriend, bombshell

Bottom Row

super mom, wanderer, power player, fashionista

These shadows are so smooth and blend very easily.

I love them. On a day to day basis I gravitate toward neutral colors so this is perfect for me! and I am all about that matte life, alll matte everything ;)

The black is kind of patchy but all the other colors glide on!

Today I used super mom all over my lid up to my brow, force of nature as my transition shade, multi tasker on the outer v and a bit in my crease and then did the same with fashionista to deepen it up!

My lower lash line is a gorgeous pink color from a new nyx shadow palette I got last night!

 You'll see that later this week ;)

Lips I'm wearing my new NYX soft matte lip creme in sydney

If you didn't already know...I took a trip to Ulta! Got so many goodies and I can not wait to share them this week!

A little tiny update on other things going on!

We have failed at the plank challenge! We were doing so good and then last weekend we just got lazy! I also relapsed and after 27 days had a soda! BUT I have not gone back to drinking it all the time. We actually have Coke in the fridge and I haven't had any! Leonidus and Weston went to the doctor last week and are both healthy boys!  We also sized up with our gauges so I'm up to an 8! I attempted to bleach my hair to a white blonde but failed so I had to dye back over it :( I usually have no issues when I do my own hair but this time did not end well in my favor!

xoxo

Tomorrow I'll be reviewing two new foundations!

I will also start up where I left off on the makeup challenge!!!

Hope you enjoyed!
