Girls just gotta have fun


What? Sometimes girls just gotta have fun! Seriously, who doesn't love some Sophia Grace? One thing I absolutely love to do when I'm in my girly girl mood is get my nails and toes done! I love soaking my feet in the jetted foot tub at the nail salon while sitting in the massage chair that you can control to massage where ever you want! Lower back problems? They have a setting for that. Neck ache? They got that too. I absolutely LOVE being pampered.

More often than not my mom and I do this together. We sit in our massaging pedi chairs and chit chat then head over to the mani stations. While she is more natural and gets Shellac on her nails I actually get acrylic nails.
I absolutely love the set I received Wednesday of this week. Inspired by Pinterest I went with a seafoam green with white polka dots on the middle fingers and white with sparkles on my ring fingers. I love them, they're so much fun!

However sometimes getting your nails done is not always glitz and glamour. Luckily I found a salon that I can actually understand what the nail techs are saying... for the most part. Other times, I just nod my head and hope for the best.  When they start speaking Vietnamese I won't lie, I often become uncomfortable. If you haven't seen Anjelah Johnson's skit on getting your nails done, I highly recommend it.



Pretty sure she hits the nail on the head with this one.

Makeup haul




Last week I was on Pinterest a bunch of makeup dupes. I will confess I'm a total M.A.C. whore and would own all of their products if I could actually afford it. Let's be real, I'm a stay at home wife who rather spend the money on pretty things for my home! So when I came across the attic of different dupes from Sephora to M.A.C and everything between and they mainly led me to E.L.F cosmetics I thought I'd get on the site and see what all they have to offer. I've used a total of ONE brush from E.L.F that I got from Target previously and I really liked it but I wanted to see what they had on the website.


I got oodles of great deals! I got all of this for only $30!! I can't wait to use my new goodies and write a review on them! So what did I get for my $30?

Baked bronzer in Maui
Baked blush in pinktastic
Baked highlighter in blush gems
Baked eyeshadow pallet in California
Makeup lock and seal
Lip exfoliator
Matte lip color in nearly nude
Mineral eye brightener in buff
84006 Contour brush
84011 blush brush
84004 fan brush
84021 mascara and shadow shield
High definition powder in sheer
32 piece eyeshadow pallet in natural

The day I made the purchase they had a deal spend $25 and get a baked set for only $3 (normally $25) you best believe I rounded up $25 worth of makeup pretty quick! It came with all of the baked items listed above along with 3 brushes. I am one happy camper!
