<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Hello everyone and
welcome to my blog!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So last week I gave
an introduction to my new blog concept and a “new” me (by new, I mean older,
married, and perhaps wiser). I have really missed blogging and putting content
out for people to read! My online life has declined a whole bunch! But that’s
okay, I am back at it and I am ready to go! Hopefully, I’ll be uploading
something new every week even if it’s just a “what I eat” kinda thing!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I guess I should
first discuss why I have decided to change the content and direction of my
blog. I have been big into my health since I was 19 and even though I have
fallen into a few slumps and I have gained all the weight back I lost- I’m
still highly cautious of what I intake. I still find myself watching my carbs
and sugar, even my fiber! Honestly, that just became a part of me and who I am.
I have learned so much through the process of trying to find a healthy me and I
am so very grateful for it. While I’m not a doctor, dietitian, or nutritionist…
I love helping people and I love even more trying to help someone find a
healthier way of life. So if you ever need support, someone to talk to or even
a virtual shoulder to cry on… I’m here for you!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The biggest question
I’ve had to ask myself this time around to lose weight is do I want to go Keto
again? And the answer to that is NO. I loved it the first couple of times I did
it- I lost weight fast and I was never hungry but there was always some part of
me that didn’t think it was the healthiest diet. Now if you want to do a Keto
or LCHF diet I am all for you doing it! I think it’s great, I just think it’s
something I can’t stick to and make it lifestyle change like it needs to be.
This really started one day when my best friend made a few comments “Why do you
eat processed food?” well, I couldn’t answer except that it was okay on the
diet and an easy thing to fix. “Why do you need to put fat in your coffee if
your trying to burn fat?” guess what, I couldn’t honestly answer that either. I
mean I could say that it helps give me energy but it didn’t, the only thing it
really did for me was “clean out my system”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Point is… I didn’t really know why I ate particular items except that it
was because it was okay to eat, even if it wasn’t the healthiest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Fast Forward to a few
weeks after that conversation. I called my mom because I had gotten myself
really depressed, yet again. I explained to her that I was only spotting and
not actually having a period when I was due. No positive pregnancy test and no
signs of being pregnant- the only possible conclusion was that my PCOS was
basically flaring up. Which is stressful when you’re trying to have a baby. She
gave me her mom talk and told me not to worry, call the doctor and set up an
appointment. Later that same night, she was digging around on Pinterest for
things to help with PCOS (because she knew my mind was not eased) and sent me a
link to <a href="https://21dayfatlosschallenge.com/home" target="_blank">Avocadu’s</a> 21 day fat loss challenge. Basically this is a program that
tells you EXACTLY what to do, what to eat, and when. I LOVE this idea because
it honestly just seems simple and easy. The downfall? The program is $47 for
Ebooks and I’m just not going to pay for something unless I have no other
choice. Eventually I would like to buy it and follow it but right now it just
isn’t the time. Anyways, I did all of the research I could possibly do on this
diet plan, and then on keto, and then specifically for PCOS. I came up with my
own diet that basically combined all of the knowledge that I had about all the
other diets into 1 structured diet that I’m going to be testing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Will this work? I
have no clue… but if it doesn’t then im going to give Avocadu a try.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Wish me luck!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hello everyone
and welcome to my blog! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’m not new to
this blog thing and I’m not new to a low carb, ketogenic diet. But… I’m new to
being an open blogger with no storyline or script. I haven’t a clue as to how
to even begin this introduction to who I am, so I’m gonna do it the truest and
easiest way possible. Hi, I’m Kayla! I’m 22 and I have been married to the most
loving, God-fearing, and amazing man for over a year. If I can make just one
person smile everyday then I have done what I am here to do, a laugh is better
but a smile makes my day worth it! Anyways, I’ll start from the beginning to
get to where I am now (Y’all go on ahead and grab yourself something to drink
and a little snack… this is gonna be long).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Three years ago I had just gotten out of a
relationship with a guy who I had truly fallen for (said the whole I love you’s
and everything) and wanted to marry… But he and I had MANY differences. I
couldn’t blame him for cheating on me, because I just wasn’t the right one for
him- it hurt at the time but it was ALL in God’s hands. Ill fast forward to his
future because I really think it’s a story worth sharing, He didn’t want to get
married but he did want to have kids, and that’s while he was dating me… once
we broke up everything changed… He actually ended up marrying the girl he
cheated on me with and he gained a beautiful baby boy (that he was certain he
WOULD have) and I could not be happier for them! Remember that bit about once
we broke up, everything changed. Back to that. I changed too… I was determined
to make him wish he didn’t cheat, I was going to make him wish he still had me
(I was VERY into Taylor Swift’s breakup music at this point in my life), and
most of all I was going to move on with my life. So I started a low carb,
ketogenic diet and literally went to the gym ALL. THE. TIME. It was the
healthiest I had been in YEARS.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So I was down
from 245 (I’m sure this was the lowest possible weight… but I feel like I could
have been more honestly) to 215 (in 2 months) and I FELT the difference
everywhere. During this particular time I went to my gynecologist who just gave
me the news that I had PCOS. Okay, what did that mean? All in all from what I
understood then was that losing weight would be hard, keeping it off would be
harder, gaining weight would be easy-peazy-lemon-squeezy, getting pregnant
would be difficult, and the risk of miscarriage was greater. The worst part? I
needed to lose even more weight to even have a chance of eventually getting
pregnant. Great. I mean this kinda stuff doesn’t happen to people like me.
Especially not at 19. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So I lost more
weight and by my 3 month of dieting mark, I FINALLY was in hundred-land. I was
199 lbs. YES! I felt incredible. I felt amazing. I felt powerful. I felt like I
could do anything my heart desired. I bought a bikini, something I hadn’t worn
since I was an eleven year old child, if even then. I felt wonderful in that
bikini. Anyways, I met a guy (now husband) and started going out to eat quite
frequently and guess what- I gained EVERY. SINGLE. POUND. BACK. Eating out has
always a terrible idea for me… the restaurants add in stuff with carbs and when
you think its low carb- it really isn’t, I mean I can give you a whole list.
Eating out is just plain out awful for me and dating involved a whole lot of
it. So there I was at 245… and there I have stayed. Trying several times to get
back on it with no success and trying other diets to help motivated me to get
back and I just didn’t, couldn’t, wouldn’t but should’ve. Now don’t get me
wrong, this is my own doings and I honestly have no one to blame but myself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Moving right
along, I got married May 6, 2017 to that very same guy and that has been great.
I got pregnant in July (and believe me… it wasn’t difficult by any means) and
found out in August! We were SO excited to be parents! We went all out and
everything, telling my parents and then his and then of course putting it on
social media so it was official. I did everything right, ate only organic
(except cool ranch Doritos), didn’t take medicine for anything other than high
blood pressure (I’ll get to that in a second), and I didn’t expose myself to
anything harmful. Our first ultrasound (at 6 weeks) showed a sac but we were
informed that there was a possibility that nothing would form. Our second
ultrasound (at 8 weeks) showed a baby and a strong heartbeat at 156! Our third
ultrasound was done in the emergency room… and we got the news that our baby
had no heartbeat. I was broken. Justin was broken. Thankfully our parents were
there and helped us so much. A part of me wanted to make sure that those
doctors knew what they were doing so I just went on to my OBGYN and got seen
and sure enough our sweet little baby had met Jesus. I lost Baby Mahan’s
heartbeat at 10 weeks and 3 days and passed at 10 weeks and 5 days. Thankfully,
Baby Mahan let me pass him/her naturally just like the rest of the pregnancy
had been. I knew I was high risk, but I didn’t know what that truly meant until
that day. I went into a horrible depression and it’s faded away since September
but the holidays were so hard. April has been the toughest month so far, as
that would have been Baby Mahan’s due month (April 21). I’ve fallen into a deep
depression several times since late March but… God’s got this. When you can’t
stand, kneel and that’s what I do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now we are
pretty much up to date. Currently we have been trying for 8 months to conceive again
and have had zero luck, which is stressful. And DON’T come at me with “When you
stop trying to conceive, you will”, because honestly… you don’t really stop
trying, you just DO. This month has really made me question my diet, currently
I am 8 weeks past my period but can’t get a positive pregnancy test… not that I
think I’m pregnant but hopeful that I am. Any woman who has gone through a
miscarriage has the same thoughts, trust me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Oh and have I
mentioned that I also have an eating disorder? That one has been the toughest
to come out and admit. I guess I’ve known for a while that I have had one but
to have it confirmed and now openly admitting it puts it at a more realistic
level. That’s all I’ll say on that. But to add to my health issues, I have high
blood pressure, high cholesterol, and anxiety.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So earlier this
year I decided to try the Keto Egg Fast and while I hated it… it motivated me.
I continued doing Keto until late February and then came off yet again because…
yup, you guessed it… going out all the time. It got convenient and I gave in. I
lost several pounds and gained all of it back. So maybe, the keto diet isn’t
for me anymore. I’ve tried and tried and with absolutely nothing to show. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And there you
have it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Here’s the
beginning <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! So i've been MIA lately but because of this... i've discovered my new addiction in life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deal shopping!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always loved a good buy but since i've been getting stuff ready for the beach i've learned to love and appreciate deal shopping even more. With that being said i feel i should mention that i am a sucker for name brands! So when i see a good deal on a name brand item... it's mine, i've gotta have it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keeping this post simple, short and sweet... i thought i'd mention a few stores you should surely check out if you love shopping for a good deal!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Burkes Outlet! I have bought everything from dresses to bra's and panties from here. Even a Yankee Candle! I believe the most i've ever spent here is $18.99 on one item. Really good stuff for the house or the closet, for a good deal!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Big Lots! This is where i stock up on sunscreen, makeup, nail polish, home decor... even CD's. I love that everything here is heard of but discounted prices. OPI nail polish for $1.99? L'oreal sunless tan for $5.00? Plus the savings on the club card?! Yes please! This is a go to for almost everything excluding clothing!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Citi Trends! I dont know if this is even located elsewhere other than my town but i bought 3 outfits just yesterday for under $40 for the 3! I even spotted some Just Fab shoes for $8.99! Some items are name brand and others are a little if-y but i have found some amazing stuff in this store!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">TJ Max! Does this surprise you? Now this one is a good bit pricey-er however, its worth the splurge if you've just gotta have it without the million dollar price tag!</li>
</ul>

Hello everyone and
welcome to my blog! While cleaning up area my house today I got to thinking
that I had a lot of favorites that I have yet to share! So I thought… “Let’s
blog about it!” because that is what Kayla does, but don’t worry… I have other
posts I intend on posting (maybe tonight, eh?)! Now, some of these are new and
some are old but they are my current favorites! Tell me yours! Comment or shoot
me an email! <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> I
discover a lot of new favorites through you guys- believe it or not!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Shall we begin?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I think we shall!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-Candles!</b> More
specifically Patriot Candles candle in Vanilla + Peach (which is just as the
name suggest… vanilla and peach- purchased at Walgreens!), Everyday Escapes
Caribbean Splash (a very fruity candle and I am in love! It is a trio candle
with the top layer being Papaya and Mango, the middle being Island Fruit- such
as coconut, pineapple, honeydew, and the final layer is Tropical Nectar- a
fruity (?) floral), Everyday Escapes Hazelnut Latte (which smells like you just
walked into a Starbucks! It makes me very happy!) and Ashland Watermelon
Sangria (which smells exactly as the name suggests). I’ve always loved candles
and im sure one day I will share that collection with you all because it has
been highly requested among viewers! Anyways, I’ve especially burned a lot of
candles over the last few weeks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-Hand Sanitizer! </b>I
don’t ever know… my boyfriend is somehow linked to this because I bought him
one that I just fell in love with! I’ll get to that in a second. I’ve always
used a lot of hand sanitizer but especially this month. My favorites have been
Well at Walgreens Hand Sanitizer in Crisp Apple (a fruity apple scent) and
Coconut Water (basically just coconut), and Bath & Body Works Fresh
Strawberries (a tart strawberry).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-Bath & Body Works
Georgia Peach & Sweet Tea! </b>Specifically the fragrance mist, I have worn
it pretty frequently throughout the month. Now, I could go and look up how it
is actually supposed to smell but let’s be realistic here- I’m not. Why?
Because anyone can do it and why waste my time when you actually don’t care.
Long story made short, it smells like peaches with a perfume undertone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-Bath & Body
Works Bourbon Strawberry & Vanilla! </b>Again, specifically the fragrance
mist. I have worn this a good bit more than the Peach one and I really expected
to not wear it often at all. It smells exactly as the name suggests.
Strawberries and Vanilla. It’s girly, get fun and fruity, but also a little
flirty and Spring-ish. It’s perfection for Spring and Summer!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-Almay Clear Complexion
Concealer and Treatment Gel! </b>I hate concealer… at least I did until I met
this little guy! I use the concealer more than I do the gel, but the gel is
really good for keeping acne at bay. The concealer has a good coverage and it’s
light enough that I don’t feel it on the skin- which I love! I use ‘light’ and
it is perfect for those a shade up from fair but not tan ;) other than that-
there isn’t much more to say about the product!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-Maybelline Master
Prime Primer in Blur + Smooth! </b>I debated about purchasing Clinique’s
Superprimer in ‘sallowness’ which claims to blur the skin but I couldn’t
swallow the $27 for a primer! Now don’t get me wrong… a good base is worth
everything because that is what’s gonna hold the important products on, but $27
is a bit much for my budget. So I stumbled into this and I thought “what’s
wrong with just trying it” so I bought it! Fell in love! It really makes the
skin look amazing AND it holds the foundation for hours upon hours. I love it
and for $8… it’s a STEAL! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-Covergirl Eyeshadow
Quad in Notice Me Nudes! </b>This was given to me by my Beauty Advisor and I
adore it! Especially shades 1 and 2. I have a trip coming up in July and I can
take this little quad and get SEVERAL looks out of it! It is perfect! Now if
you are like EleventhGorgeous and think you can’t pull off shimmer shadows
then… this isn’t for you! But if you are into satin and shimmer… you get both!
Two shimmers and two satin shades, and they are stunning! And long wearing!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-E.L.F. Moisturizing Lipstick
in Ravishing Rose! </b>I am all about some pageant girl lips... this is for
sure one of those lip colors! I think it would work for any skin tone and be
just as stunning! It’s a dusty pinky- mauve color… and its moisturizing! Not
only moisturizing but long wearing! It’s my ideal lipstick! So light, you cant
tell it’s there at all!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-Rimmel London
Lasting Finish By Kate in 104! </b>Another very pretty pageant girl shade!
Compared to E.L.F.’s Ravishing Rose, this one is a little more on the dusty
rose spectrum. It’s very pretty but I wouldn’t recommend it for those with fair
skin tones- such as porcelain. Now, the thing with this lipstick is it starts
out shiny like the E.l.f shade but ends up being matte and a little drying. It
is very long lasting just like Ravishing Rose and just as comfortable on the
lips as far as being air-light. Truthfully, I don’t feel like I have to watch
what I do wearing this lipstick but it is a wee bit drying, I still wear it
just as much as the other though! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Did I just about cover
all the top drugstore brands or what?!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-Equate Feminine
Wash! </b>I don’t typically go for bargain brands BUT I got this because I
liked the smell better than Summer’s Eve, so I thought “Why not?” I’m so glad I
did! It actually feels like it works much better! And it lathers much better!
Not to mention how much cheaper it is! $1.27 versus $5.97? For 1 once less?
Ummmm… that’s a steal! I won’t be repurchasing Summer’s Eve unless Equate
discontinues this and in that case… I’ll get back up’s! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>-Equate Feminine Wipes
(compared to Always)! </b>Again, I don’t skimp on products but I am glad I did
on this one as well! I like these wipes much more than always! They smell
better and they are a little damper. Which, I like. There isn’t much to say
other than that they are wipes… that are just better in my opinion. I’d

a bigger girl, I am usually so self-conscious in a swim suit. The other day I was
shopping with a girlfriend of mine for a swimsuit. I decided to try on a ‘push

a skirted bottom! It was just perfect! <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hello everyone and
welcome to my blog! I know it’s been kind of a while since I actually sat down
and wrote a blog post but I decided that today would be the day I sat down and
made time to do so! And I am actually kind of excited to write this post! Why?
Because this is a ‘What is inside Kayla’s head’ post… and we don’t get too many
of those around here!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So let me first begin
by saying my head is up in the clouds. I’ve had A LOT go down in the past week
or so and I’m gonna elaborate on all of it before I even get into the actual
reasoning of this post. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">First thing is first,
I have a boyfriend! WHAT?!?! Yes, you heard me correctly. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> This man is absolutely
perfect! I have never felt this close to anyone in my life! He is literally
everything I’ve ever wanted in a man and I am beyond BLESSED to have him as a
part of my life. We honestly have so much in common that it completely trumps
the small things we disagree upon. Also, he has a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/wildcat200586" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">... and I adore watching his videos! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Secondly, my
weight-loss journey! I am still holding at 202, but my doctor and I were
discussing some health issues I have and he decided that 15 to 18 more pounds
gone in 3 months is going to fix this. So I will have at least one post on how
that goes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now on to my day
dreaming… I’m often asked by friends and family members how I would decorate my
home once I do decide to move out. Truthfully, I have put a ton of thought into
this and it’s honestly kind of ridiculous. But I think it is very important to
have some kind of idea as to how you’re gonna decorate so that you can plan for
it in the meantime. Also, if you are anything like me- the little things
matter. A house is not a home unless you make it one. So make it a home. I was
inspired to do this because a really old friend of mine is getting married and
she’s putting so many details in her wedding! So I thought why not put those
details in a home too?!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Living Room</strong>: To me,
this should be a calming, relaxing atmosphere that reflects you and your
partner. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I imagine my living room to be
very reflective of positivity from God’s word, family oriented, and cozy. So
think browns and creams and lots of pictures, crosses, and biblical quotes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Kitchen/Dining Room</strong>:
Let’s be realistic here, 9 times out of 10 the woman does the cooking. Therefore,
I think the woman should have the overall say-so of what the kitchen décor is.
Personally, Coffee-themed is the way for me! I love coffee and while it isn’t everyone’s
cup of java… it is mine! I think the mocha hues are beautiful in a kitchen, so
are the creams! ;) (If you got all the puns in that… you are awesome!) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Master Bedroom:</strong> I don’t
know why but I have always thought the bedroom should in some way resemble you’re
wedding day! At this point and time I imagine our room to have a lot of red and
white shades, roses, crosses, and candles! Because that’s how I imagine my
wedding day… which that’s a whole different story!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Master Bathroom:</strong> I cannot
express how important I feel a bathroom is in a marriage… call me crazy and a
little too personal but I think it’s important to bond through a bubble bath.
Which is why I feel like the Master Bathroom should have a spa-like feel to it.
Think candles, water fountains, baby blue hues with speckles of light green and
beige, simple and elegant yet truly romantic. </span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Other rooms…</strong></span><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Guest Bedroom:</strong>
Express yourself a little bit here, but also know that you are trying to make a
guest feel comfortable! I picture this as an elegant Disney room! “Be our
guest, be our guest!” </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
Gray, yellow, and white! Happy and comfy… still elegant though! I would also keep
in mind that this could potentially be a future child’s room so keeping the
colors neutral like that could be beneficial! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Family Bathroom:</strong> Still
express yourself, but make sure it’s going to make guest feel comfortable! For
me, I imagine a black and white Disney them with pops of red… because I love Disney
and it reflects the honeymoon that I will for sure have!</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Xoxo,</span></div>

Hello Everyone and Welcome to my Blog! Yesterday I weighed in at 205 pounds, while that may seem like an "oh my gosh YOU ARE SO FAT" number and nothing to be proud of... I am hugely proud of myself! Why? Because I have now lost 25 pounds on this diet and that is incredible. I don't think I have talked too much on this diet but it is Atkins, low carb diet. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Atkins website is brilliant at explaining this whole process but to give you a run down... you watch net carbs. Net carbs is what you get when you subtract your carbs from the fiber and from sugar alcohols. On Atkins you get 20-25 net carbs a day, However I do 20 net carbs a day. It's an easier number for me to have count of and a lower amount of carbs you get in a day... which I need. I have seen a bigger result of weight loss when watching carbs subtracted from fiber... but I have preferences in what I eat that I just can't do that.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Listed below is a meal plan for 7-days a week, and yes this is what I do. Also I wanted to talk about the exercises I do and where I get the ideas from as well as apps I use to help. I will list those below the meal plan.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Day One: 18 Net Carbs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Breakfast: Atkins Chocolate Chip Granola Bar (3 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
-Dinner: Atkins Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo (5 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Snack: Atkins Chocolate Coconut Treat Bar (3 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Day Two: 18 Net Carbs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
-Dinner: Turkey and Ham roll ups [Turkey (0 net carbs), Ham (0 net carbs), 5 slices of cheddar cheese (5 net carbs)] (5 net carbs), 1/2 cup cucumber slices (2 net carbs), Ranch (1 net carb)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Day Three: 16 Net Carbs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Breakfast: Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bar (3 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Lunch: Tyson Grilled & Ready Southwestern Chicken Strips (2 Net Carbs), Snow Peas (4 Net Carbs), String Cheese (1 Net Carb)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Dinner: Atkins Beef Merlot (6 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Day Four: 17 Net Carbs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Breakfast: 2 Hard Boiled Eggs (1 Net Carbs for both)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
-Dinner: Broccoli (7 Net Carbs), Warmed Jeanie-O Turkey Slice (0 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Snack: Atkins Dark Chocolate Almond Coconut Crunch Bar (3 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Day Five: 18 Net Carbs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Breakfast: Atkins Chocolate 18 Chip Granola Bar (3 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Lunch: Jeanie-O Turkey Slice (0 Net Carbs), Sharp Cheddar Cheese slice (1 Carb), Almonds (3 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Dinner: Atkins Peperoni Pizza (11 Net Carbs) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Day Six: This is my cheat day! Even though I do have a cheat day, I do still watch what I eat, it's become a part of me to do so. So indulge but do not over indulge! I really like veggies and fruit but because they are so high in carbs I don't get them too often so I really go all out on veggies. I still watch how many calories i'm eating. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Breakfast: Coffee (with no calorie sweetener and milk) and fresh fruit or oatmeal</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Lunch: Chicken Caesar Salad (typically from Walmart) and Yoplait Greek 100 Yogurt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Dinner: A ton of veggies and a piece of meat. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Day Seven: 19 Net Carbs</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Breakfast: Atkins Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bar (3 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Lunch: Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken Breast (2 Net Carbs), Snow Peas (4 Net Carbs), Pistachios (5 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Dinner: Grilled Steak (0 Net Carbs), 1/2 cup Cucumber Slices (2 Net Carbs), Ranch (1 Net Carb)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Snack: Atkins Nutty Fudge Brownie (2 Net Carbs)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I typically never hit the 20 Net Carb mark... you don't have to, and truthfully I'm glad you don't because I am full after every meal! As you can see... I do not give up the things I like- such as chocolate and pizza. It can get pricey shopping but certain things can go over into the next week, like the meal bars, treats, Tyson products, Jeanie-O Turkey, coffee, oatmeal, ranch, cheese, almonds, pistachios and stuff like that. Most things I do not have to purchase but once a month and meats I buy in packages and freeze. I also repeat some meals within the week because I might have really liked what I had. I'm also known to have a snack or treat for breakfast as opposed to buying another package of meal bars. One day, I'll add it all up and tell you the cost but until then you are left to wonder on your own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now on top of the diet, I take vitamins and workout. So let me talk vitamins for a second. Biotin, One a Day Multi, and B12. That is what I take for myself... now some of that might change in a month or so but until then this is what I am doing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the Gym?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
60 minutes on treadmill: Incline and Speed both 3.5</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10 minutes on bike: Resistance at 8.0</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5 minutes on elliptical</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10 sets of curl bars: I use 5 pound weights, 5 curls per set.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
20 sit ups</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 laps around the walking trail: Basically 1 mile</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
30 minutes in the pool: Lap swimming</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in all I spend about 3 1/2 hours at the gym every visit. I workout about 4 times a week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My goal is to burn EVERY calorie I have put in my body and then a few extra. How do I keep up with the calories I taken in? I use myfitnesspal. I do really like the app because it lays it out flat what I have ate, even on my cheat days it makes sure I stay within my calorie count. I loose about 3 pounds a week doing all I do and I am happy with that result. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoyed!</div>

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! As I sit here painting my nails I got to thinking about being a girl. Sometimes its fun, sometimes its a pain in the bum, and sometimes there is an in between. I had to pick up a few products the other night and me and a few of the other girls had a discussion about how we handle "being girls". Now before we begin, I must say... I am very girly so I do the best of the best and research everything.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Anyways, I debated on this particular post because... well it get deep, down, and personal. But I remember how much I needed something like this when I was first beginning. So today I am gonna discuss products I use to groom "lovely-lady-parts" and then some. Because the truth is, I was never taught, so it would have been nice to have a little guidance.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
First thing is first. Groom how you want to! Personally, I like brazilin styles. But do what you want.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finishing Touch Diamond Personal Hair Remover: With this, I start off with the bikini shaving attachment and as the hair becomes shorter, I use it without the attachment. I love that this has a light so you can see where you are going. It really makes a huge difference! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Bikinizone Anti-Bumps Shave Gel: Once the hair is short enough apply this. It's clear so you can see where you are going and it also helps prevent the red irritated bumps that can occur.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Gillette Venus & Olay 5-blade Razor: A razor with a high number of blades is going to be the best for this area. I do buy a thicker blade because I feel like it gives me a closer shave. I'm a huge fan of this one! The trick is to go over the area only once or twice if you must! This is going to keep you from getting razor burns.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sea Breeze Fresh Clean Astringent for Sensitive Skin: I use this on a cotton pad to apply after my shaving. I feel like it causes less irritation. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
...Other items?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Summers Eve Cleansing Wash: a body wash for you area! I really like this because it doesn't irritated and doesn't dry the skin out!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Always Lightly Scented Wipes: I use these in placement of toilette paper, I feel like it keeps me much cleaner. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Summer's Eve Deodorant Spray: If you haven't figure it out, I don't do odors, so this is an extra precaution to make sure im confident no matter what! I spray it on the area and on my panties.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that's my girl talk!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello Everyone and Welcome to My Blog! I have been reading through my emails lately and came across a lot of great request and I want you to know that I will be doing them soon! Tonight I thought about pulling in a few of those request like going into my perfume collection or even talking about my lipstick collection but I thought maybe, just maybe, I could try to pull off something a little different for you guys. What is this witchcraft you ask? Well simple! I thought I'd share my diet and fitness with you!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
First let me start off by saying I have dieted for years and years and ive stuck to a few things and I've ditched a lot of things. I like the idea of a diet but I never actually stick to one. So As of March 1st I have officially been on Atkins, a low carb diet. Now atkins takes your carb count and subtracts any fiber and sugar alcohol and gives you a net carb total. You get 20-25 a day. Which I've heard can be a struggle for some but it's not that bad to me. The only downside, in my opinion, is the "healthy" things like greek yogurt, blue berries, strawberries, bananas, etc. you can't have because they have so many carbs in them. I love that kinda stuff. However, you can have beef jerky, olives, cheese, and hard boiled eggs no problem.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
It's not bad, but it does have a downfall. I started off in March weighing 230 pounds my weigh in today was 210 pounds. That is a total of 20 pounds lost in a little over a month, and I had several cheat days. I can only imagine the results if I would have stuck to the diet day in and day out! So I do recommend this if nothing is working and you do want something to work!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
What else am I doing to benefit my weight-loss? I am taking vitamins! Currently I am taking One-A-Day for Women Multivitamin, Biotin 5,000 mg, B12 2500 mg, and Enchanicia 1000mg. I will probably take away the one-a-day and replace it with a different multivitamin because I really cant tell the difference when I take that multivitamin or not and I should be able to. I may also add FitMiss Burn to my daily dosing just because I think it could really help me in the long run.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Speaking of running... are you running Kayla? Not exactly but I do go to the gym pretty frequently. I spend about an hour on the treadmill at 3.5 incline and 3.0 speed, 25 minutes on the bike with 1.0 resistance, I try the elliptical but I typically only stay on it for about 5 minutes, and I really don't do weight lifting for in place of that I generally swim for about 30 minutes doing laps. That is my workout and the goal is to burn the calories im putting in my body. Afterwards I treat myself to a powerade-zero and go home. </div>

Hello Everyone and Welcome to my blog! I am high-wired and ready to go with wet nails and a Starbucks Double-Shot coffee! I thought i would sit down and work on a new post for you all because it might be another week before i can do it again based on the fact that i have quite a few turn-arounds to do. Yeah, i know, more excuses... </div>

Anyways, today i am going to be sharing my favorites of the moment... things i love and have been loving... for a while or for a week. It's madness i tell you- we are all mad here ;) So in no particular order, shall we begin?</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Crest HD Toothpaste</b>: I know how ridiculous it is to pay $13.00 for some toothpaste but i got my hands on a sample before it was even released and fell in love! Now let's have "dirty" talk for a second here... I have dry mouth which causes awful breath, gingivitis which is a gum disease, and sensitive teeth which is probably from all the years i spent whitening my teeth so with all this being said... my dentist is pretty strict with my toothpaste and my mouth has to be happy and both were pretty pleased with this suggestion. It is a little more time consuming but the results as far as whitening goes is AMAZING! I do plan on continuing to use this until October to see if it helps at all with my gingivitis (which i've had for almost 2 years now) and to see if my teeth can hold up to the sensitivity. I'll let you know. Give it a try if you can though! The only complaint i have is that there are two steps as opposed to one but if you brush twice a day, on rush days you can use a normal toothpaste.</div>

<b>Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish</b>: I had an eye on this for months and im so glad i finally got it! So far i have tried three shades and im impressed with all but one! The one is B Girl... it chipped awfully. The others are great, no chipping they last about a week on my nails (through work, workouts, cleaning, and driving around the world)! Which is great because usually the day of my nails are a goner! I strongly recommend this! But if you do give it a go you will need to use one of the four-sided nail buffers every three uses. </div>

<b>Suave 24 Protection Deodorant in Everlasting Sunshine:</b> I usually stick to Secret and i have for years but i saw this at the Dollar Tree and i was like "well ill get one and if i dont like it ill give it to my mom or grandma" turns out, i loved it! i have search for another everywhere and i cant find it but the smell is amazing and you can smell it all throughout the day! (<--- which i personally like) I basically use this as my "work deodorant" because i know it will last and still have that strong scent.<br />

<b>Faded Glory Easter Dress:</b> Okay so this may seem obsessive and absurd but i bought three of these dresses one in Pink, Blue, and White and i love them all. it is a cute style, textures, and the colors are pretty.

Hello everyone and
welcome to my blog! So today I just wanted to sit down and talk to you guys,
honestly, because sometimes I feel like being a beauty blogger is the only
thing I am thought of as. Truth is, I am just like anyone else in the world. I
have good days and I have bad days, I have pretty days and I have days that I
don’t care. Everyone does and I’m just here to let you know that it’s okay.
Where are you going with this? Well… as a beauty blogger I get recognized for
just that, a beauty blogger- But I am so much more than just that! I am your
friend. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I appreciate all of you- from
the emails, to the texts, even to the Facebook messages! That is ultimately
what I want to be thought of as. A friend.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Like any good friend,
I am here to give you advice and I am here to listen to you. If you ever feel
down- shoot me an email! I’ll reply! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of those
emails. I get a lot of questions in my emails and because most of them are
focused on advice or questions that I think other people may be interested in…
I thought I might answer them for you guys today!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Q: You are a beauty
blogger, one of the few that I read who are not sponsored. Why is that?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A: Actually, back in
March I was contacted by a company who wanted to sponsor me! And I really,
really, really wanted them to do so! But at the time, I was in school and I was
falling behind and it was a low point for me. So I kindly declined the offer
because I knew I wouldn’t be able to blog like I needed to and do my school
work. I was extremely sad that I did decline but at the time it was what was
best for me and I don’t regret that decision. I would love to be given the
opportunity to be sponsored again but at the same time, I blog because I love
it, it’s what I love to do and I don’t need to be sponsored to be happy.
However, being paid for what I love to do is a cherry on top!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Q: You are very
involved in church, so how do you have time for church, a blog, and home-life,
too?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A: I love church…
more than I love my blog! Honestly, I love doing church work too. But I am very
organized! I have a calendar sheet for every month that focuses on anything to
do with the church. That includes youth movie nights and youth events, as well
as church meetings and church fellowships. I also have a calendar for day’s
that I need to do stuff around the house, such as cleaning my room, my
bathroom, the kitchen and things like that. It really keeps me organized there,
so I am not losing track of responsibilities that need to be done at home. I
also have a calendar for days that I have something planned or that a family
member needs me to take them to, like lunch dates, dinner dates, doctors’
appointments, etc. As for my blog schedule… I know that I have a blog post
going up every Monday. Knowing that schedule makes a blog post easier to put up
and lets me plan for the next. I also like to have notebooks for church
meetings, youth stuff, and blog stuff. Just in case I get an idea. I like to
have a plastic envelope with dividers that I can tote anything church related
in whether it be clerk stuff or youth director stuff. Another thing that I do
is wait till everyone has gone to bed. This allows me to not have to worry if I
am offending anyone by staying in my room to get all of my stuff done and it
allows me to really think clearly. This means that I am dedicating about 5
hours to church and blog stuff, 12 hours to home-life (which will hopefully
soon be dedicated to work), and 7 hours to sleep.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Q: What is your real
world dream job?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A: To be honest, I
have no clue how to answer that. My ultimate goal is to work where my dad
works. He loves his job and I really think that it is a job I would love as
well- being as my dad is my role model and he and I are so much alike. With
that being said, while I work there I would like to have the money to put
myself through college- working on a business management degree and then work
on a phycology or counseling degree. Then when I’m much older and can retire
reasonably I would like to be a counselor. That is my dream. And if somehow I
couldn’t do that then I would settle for a job working in an office because
that is essentially what I do now. Or maybe working with children is my
ultimate goal… I think only one person knows me well enough to know what I am
eventually going to do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Q: You haven’t dated
in a while, why is that?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A: Truthfully, I
think of myself as a pretty mature person. I know I need to get a job so that I
can support myself and not have to rely on a male, I am not one to play games
and most people my age are not serious and don’t plan on being serious, I don’t
settle for less than what I know I deserve, and my past relationships just
turned me off from the whole dating thing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Q: But who is this
guy we all know you are with?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A: Okay so yes… I am
with someone. His name is Greg and he is my better half. We have been dating
for over a month and he is incredible! I have never met anyone quite like him,
he is such a gentleman and so kind hearted and just honestly everything I have
ever pictured in a relationship. He is so supportive of me and he encourages me
to do the better things in life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Q: Have you two had
the talk?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A: Ummmm, it’s
crossed our minds a few times. He and I both want marriage and kids and all
that jazz but it’s just a bit too early to think too much on that. Would I marry
him? Yes, In a heartbeat. I say that because there are just some people you are
meant to be with and I know that my meant to be is him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Q: Do you want
children?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A: I feel like I have
had this question before and I feel like I answered it but I will answer it
anyways. Yes, I do want kids. Two or Three would be ideal… now days I like the
idea of two. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Q: Names you are in
love with?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A: Crazy as it sounds…
I have put a lot of thought into this. My first choices would be Grayson Daniel
(boy) and Natalie Lauren (girl). My second choice would be Gregory Preston
(boy) and Madeline Grace (girl). Other names I have considered for girls are
Madelyn Noelle, Noelle Madeline, Madison Claire, Naomi Leora, Gracelyn Noelle.
Other names I have considered for boys are Preston Elliot, Nathan Elliot,
Garett Preston, and Gregory Elliot. <o:p></o:p></div>

Q: We see your Pinterest all the time. We know
you’ve got your wedding planned out. And your home for that matter. Explain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A: I am addicted to
Pinterest. I do have my wedding planned out and I do have my home planned out.
Little details mean the most to me. For example: My wedding will be my second
favorite color and his first favorite color… our bedroom will be the colors of
our wedding. Candles will be lit at our wedding for important people who have
passed in our life. Ultimately I use Pinterest because I like to figure out how
to make the little things count. <o:p></o:p></div>

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! I am pretty excited about today's post because it has been a pretty important part of my weekly routine for a little over a month now. What is this madness you are talking about Kayla? A manicure! At HOME! Yes, so don't freak out here or anything but i have been pretty good about having a perfect nail this time of year! And it has pretty simple and fairly easy to do. Even better? ALL of these products are available at your local drugstore!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully i can keep this simple, short, and sweet... fingers crossed. Before i get into this post though i wanted to let you know that next week i will be doing a Q & A post and i would LOVE to answer you guy's questions so shoot me an email or leave a comment below and i WILL answer it for sure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On with the manicure? On with the manicure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMzlUnNsnYoz8reVQOnkiCum7N6TnROkDaPy8P6oUGqTF3turIvqhE1zMqR8cPSxZvboF9iQmPS9SO1WThC9BJzS3Qp3aaDPn_hry1pFuqJzpIXZXyE7wzq02Y7SinSZVqHTWdnm1q5Gjj/s1600/studio-35-nail-polish-coupon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMzlUnNsnYoz8reVQOnkiCum7N6TnROkDaPy8P6oUGqTF3turIvqhE1zMqR8cPSxZvboF9iQmPS9SO1WThC9BJzS3Qp3aaDPn_hry1pFuqJzpIXZXyE7wzq02Y7SinSZVqHTWdnm1q5Gjj/s1600/studio-35-nail-polish-coupon.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step One: Remove any and all nail polish! I typically use a store-brand nail polish remover and a cotton ball. It's just nail polish remover... don't put too much thought into it this early on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSHDbdgO27sWXVB9tkc13Ii8bD4GUmXePy4d2gwCOvEJVl6QcbaTu2CV8t0PbCzaP4MjY46OMOLgUCgL1043o5n8FI7oKVeXQ8C3q-7z7vvyq3VBENnKLVIGC7P5oJ3cYCSNkM-cvyNTYw/s1600/5pZe10pcs-pedicure-manicure-nail-art-orange-wood-stick-cuti.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSHDbdgO27sWXVB9tkc13Ii8bD4GUmXePy4d2gwCOvEJVl6QcbaTu2CV8t0PbCzaP4MjY46OMOLgUCgL1043o5n8FI7oKVeXQ8C3q-7z7vvyq3VBENnKLVIGC7P5oJ3cYCSNkM-cvyNTYw/s1600/5pZe10pcs-pedicure-manicure-nail-art-orange-wood-stick-cuti.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step Two: Push your cuticles back! I have a little wooden stick that came in a set that i use and i just gently push back the cuticle. This reveals more of your nail and makes them look so much longer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step Three: PLEASE clean underneath those tips! The wooden stick i was just talking about has a pointy side that i use to clean under neath the nail and it works like a dream!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4C3e-t9TnQeZa2ek1MH2lhrvnUYHYlfI7LK84tHwwmMyTuLSCJTUO9bXTLglP3pjgZDUVaCzvQK-NvIJ2G9kCdPc4HEYU8UtSVXsiRwpNbdb4kvcTbg9MKZtK5YL-lMLD8QjV0Yx1G81c/s1600/nailfile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4C3e-t9TnQeZa2ek1MH2lhrvnUYHYlfI7LK84tHwwmMyTuLSCJTUO9bXTLglP3pjgZDUVaCzvQK-NvIJ2G9kCdPc4HEYU8UtSVXsiRwpNbdb4kvcTbg9MKZtK5YL-lMLD8QjV0Yx1G81c/s1600/nailfile.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step Four: Shape the nail. I use a glass file to basically file my nails into a square. It really keeps them looking very put together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnkBa8E7BQdnnGW1kSHk2TOzwjzTl1-UW2V9jND-uvXlEoHugTSCPpbyO5aF7-GT0BZGeBw46mTUcnffPvpurUpAw5aa9E6wehonqreyQd7zqUA9ZnEn1eHLc8IDLYu5gQwBGd-SvZ4PxF/s1600/2216881.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnkBa8E7BQdnnGW1kSHk2TOzwjzTl1-UW2V9jND-uvXlEoHugTSCPpbyO5aF7-GT0BZGeBw46mTUcnffPvpurUpAw5aa9E6wehonqreyQd7zqUA9ZnEn1eHLc8IDLYu5gQwBGd-SvZ4PxF/s1600/2216881.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step Five: Use a 4-way buffing block to achieve the PERFECT basic nail! I use one by the brand Ms. Manicure and it's super simple and idiot-proof! The steps for it are labeled directly on each side. 1. File Away 2. Tidy Those Tips 3. Smooth It Down 4. Polish Me Perfect. I really, really, really love this little gadget... it makes doing your nails effortless. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHHNvwh4-7dZuzqEFsNEMmS7GZRozCjLYuF9igin05H1IyWUMK2Rqc1dCjf9JPJ1vq3qOnCEIXt0IVwfXqqXeRTmlMCbwlYnSSLf8COk4hYNv1nptTS_JP5DyFgIMVK9C6snh8CkG8isRY/s1600/cimg_3690.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHHNvwh4-7dZuzqEFsNEMmS7GZRozCjLYuF9igin05H1IyWUMK2Rqc1dCjf9JPJ1vq3qOnCEIXt0IVwfXqqXeRTmlMCbwlYnSSLf8COk4hYNv1nptTS_JP5DyFgIMVK9C6snh8CkG8isRY/s1600/cimg_3690.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step Six: After all that it is finally time to get down to business! Apply a base coat that fits to your nails needs. Lately my choice has been Nutra Nail Bullet-Proof Strength Formula Base Coat. My nails are definitely much less bendable :O! Let dry about 20 minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisS3AcUgSWtx4-VKjLEXKofUnY5jzig-aLZSOTcByN9YCk-oiAYbShP850NyvYRcZjcYHWTSg9QO0_yVzOqek2twdLXnHn50lrcw_bOctaYnM9W91JAqPTvw4u80Ks6ZkynligHvUeKg8O/s1600/IMAG2336.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisS3AcUgSWtx4-VKjLEXKofUnY5jzig-aLZSOTcByN9YCk-oiAYbShP850NyvYRcZjcYHWTSg9QO0_yVzOqek2twdLXnHn50lrcw_bOctaYnM9W91JAqPTvw4u80Ks6ZkynligHvUeKg8O/s1600/IMAG2336.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step Seven: Next apply one coat of your favorite nail polish! Mine has been E.L.F. Nail Polish in Red-y or Not. Let dry about 20 minutes.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step Eight: Apply a second coat or add a glitter coat. Let dry anywhere between 20 minutes to 2 hours. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVlxRWdi6p0sEhK2hMAnx3NmwfsYYrPBRhNNrXH8ly-MQqwDkQQ2YESAE2-OE9_3evDYBBi-ixJyPIUQQOk5fJvG44Bw9YXKb_4SGBctDLztnXcol8BHDsYenZxhOxobHAhTtIDQNWSpL_/s1600/$(KGrHqZ%2C!oQE-yvNMEo2BPu%2BZ7)K5Q~~60_35.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVlxRWdi6p0sEhK2hMAnx3NmwfsYYrPBRhNNrXH8ly-MQqwDkQQ2YESAE2-OE9_3evDYBBi-ixJyPIUQQOk5fJvG44Bw9YXKb_4SGBctDLztnXcol8BHDsYenZxhOxobHAhTtIDQNWSpL_/s1600/$(KGrHqZ%2C!oQE-yvNMEo2BPu%2BZ7)K5Q~~60_35.JPG" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step Nine: Finally apply a top coat that fits to your nails needs. Honestly for me... i seriously need an all-in-one top coat but apparently they don't make one that is quick-drying, high shine, AND chip resistant... so i settle for Nutra Nail High Gloss Top Coat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that is how i get my PERFECT manicure at home rather than paying $25 to get them done at the salon! :) i hope you enjoyed!</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hello everyone
and welcome to my blog! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Before anything I
just want to tell you all thank you so very much for all the birthday wishes I received!
I am beyond blessed to have you all as my readers! There is never a day I don’t
think of you all! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Second thing is
that tonight will be a double post night because last week I purposely did not
post. Why? Because I knew I wanted to let you guys in on my birthday and how
things went just because that seems to be a pretty popular subject with
everyone, I also knew I would get a lot of questions on what I received as
gifts so I wanted to do a separate post for that. Let’s face it… my blog posts
can get pretty long so this was the simplest way of doing things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I did have a
pretty big birthday this year, so I do have a lot of gifts- call me spoiled if
please but it really just amounts to the fact that I have a wonderful family
that I am so grateful for. Hopefully this won’t be too long and to keep it from
being too long I’ll just say who it is from and what it is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

noticed that I received a lot of Princess stuff and might be wondering why a 19
year old would receive such gifts. Well, if you know me in real life then you
would know that I love Ariel and Belle and for me it’s those gifts that mean so
much to me because they are truly bought with thought. The Little Mermaid and
Beauty and the Beast are my all-time favorite movies!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello everyone!
If you are new to my blog then welcome and thank you for stopping by! Before
anything I just want to tell you all <b>thank you so very much for all the
birthday wishes</b> I received! I am beyond blessed to have you all as my readers!
There is never a day I don’t think of you all! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Second thing is
that tonight will be a double post night because last week I purposely did not
post. Why? Because I knew I wanted to let you guys in on my birthday and how
things went just because that seems to be a pretty popular subject with
everyone, I also knew I would get a lot of questions on what I received as
gifts so I wanted to do a separate post for that. Let’s face it… my blog posts
can get pretty long so this was the simplest way of doing things.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So I will try my
very best to keep this short and simple but make sure that the points are made.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I did kinda
celebrate my birthday in the time span of three days because my birthday did
fall on a Sunday this year and I had many plans throughout the weekend, so I guess
that makes me a tiny bit spoiled. No hate. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><u>Friday, October
10<sup>th</sup></u> I went to my high school’s homecoming (I can’t believe I wasn’t
a part of the band this year! It was weird sitting in the stands as opposed to
performing) with my dad, and my mom actually paid and told me it was an early
birthday present so I thought that was super thoughtful of her!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><u>Saturday,
October 11<sup>th</sup></u> I spent the morning in my PJ’s which was very nice!
Then my dad asked if I wanted to go see a movie at the local theater and of
course I told him yes. So we actually left super early and went to Walmart
because I had to pick up some candy for my little ones at church for children’s
time. Then we went to my absolute favorite store in the world… Dollar tree… and
I picked up a few things for the church and some plates to complete my fall
table I have going on! We also went to Dairy Queen and got a blizzard and
usually I would get Pumpkin Pie (which is ah-mazing; my dad prefers the Apple
Pie over it) but I got the Hawaiian blizzard instead, which was a first timer
but it was REALLY yummy; it had coconut shavings, bananas, and pineapples.
Finally we went to the theater and let me tell you… if you are into horror
movies and are looking to really be scared… go see Annabelle. It was scary as
heck and I watch scary movies pretty frequently with my dad.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><u>Sunday, October
12<sup>th</sup></u> MY BIRTHDAY! We went to church and the then we had church
pictures to take for Pastor Appreciation Month so we did that and then my mommy
took my family and I out to eat at Ruby Tuesday (if you care to know I had the
salad bar and we all shared the Double Chocolate cake with strawberry ice
cream) and then went to Walmart to do our bi weekly grocery trip. We went home
and we were attempting to watch the Posession of Micheal King, and if you are
into Paranormal Activity I think you’d like this but in a personal opinion, it
sucked. Around 5 o’ clock my boyfriend (WHAT?! Yes, that is correct –boyfriend)
took me out to “dinner” which consisted of more talking than anything and a movie.

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I had a pretty
amazing 19<sup>th</sup> birthday and honestly I have gotten asked by so many
how it feels (even though they are all older than me) and to answer that… it’s
a little strange because next year I will be 20 but other than that… no
different really I just feel like I have to be more mature than I was. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Hello everyone and
welcome to my blog! It’s been a while since I did a monthly favorites, which we
all know the reason by now I’m sure. So today I decided why not?! I must fair
warn you all that I do have quite a bit and I have included some fall favorites
as well because who can honestly wait until October? I don’t want to spend too
much time on the introduction to this post because there is seriously so much
but I will say this month has been so short! I don’t know if it is because all
I do now days is clean or because it is just that short! What do you guys
think?! Are your months short?</div>

Beautifully Disney
Curiouser and Curiouser Eyeshadow Palette: I bought this when I went to Disney
and I have used it literally every time I have done my makeup this month! This
is the most amazing palette I have ever owned, it definitely out beats Urban
Decay Naked. I don’t wanna go into too much detail because I really want to
upload a review on YouTube but if you are a Disney Lover and happen to be going
to Disney… I’d pick it up- or I’d buy it online! My favorite shades are Mushroom (which is a
taupe shade) and Quiet as a Mouse (which is a burgundy brownish shade). <o:p></o:p></div>

Neutrogena Eye Makeup
Remover Pads: While these say they are Eye Makeup Remover Pads… I use them for
the removal of my face makeup as well! There isn’t much to say about make up
remover but I will say that they work so well and I will repurchase them! Two
pads gets the whole face done, and im sure you can get it done with just one
but I personally like to keep eyes to eyes and face to face. <o:p></o:p></div>

EOS Lip Balm in Sweet
Mint: I have not been a huge fan of these lip balms because they don’t
moisturize enough on their own but I do find this particular one to be more
moisturizing than the others I have tried and it also leaves a nice tingling
feeling and a wonderful taste and scent. I also like to use this if I am going
to be around people because I feel like it helps the “breath”. My favorite use
of this is to put it on before my other lip products and essentially use it as
a lip primer. It wont make the lip products slip and slide but it also doesn’t
allow my lips to dry out. <o:p></o:p></div>

Olay Long Live
Moisture Moisturizer: For me… this is perfect! It moisturizes my face so well
but doesn’t make it too moisturized that my makeup doesn’t stay in place! It is
said to be a satin finish but I find it to be more of a natural finish. It’s
perfect for a day time moisturizer.<o:p></o:p></div>

Milani Multitasker
Face Powder: So who else is disappointed that Maybelline discontinued Dream
Matte Powder? I bought this in hopes that this could at least be compared to
Dream Matte Powder… I think it outshines that! It’s very nice, not cakey,
finely milled, matte, nice coverage, and overall amazing. If you liked
Maybelline’s powder, I think you will love this!<o:p></o:p></div>

E.L.F. Nail Polish in
Red Velevet: Fall means red… at least to me. I’d label this as a burgundy
shimmer nail polish and it dries amazingly fast and is very pigmented with just
one coat. I think it’s great for fall and on into the winter season. If you
really wanted to jazz it up and get into the fall season you could do an accent
nail of a shimmery brown. <o:p></o:p></div>

Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Foiled. PERFECT! Maybe not long lasting but it’s a
beautiful lip duo!<o:p></o:p></div>

@Rodnay on Vine: This
kid has had me laughing too much this month! His vine videos are so funny and
he makes things that we all do in our everyday life seem so funny and when you
actually think about it… he is so right. I have probably watched every single
video he has out there and oh my goodness… my stomach begins to hurt so much
from the laughter! And how can we forget about that cute southern accent?!
Let’s take a minute to appreciate it! AND he lives in Alabama too! That is a
cherry on top to me ;) Any who, I stumbled across him because of Hannah and
well… fell in love! If you care to, and i strongly recommend you do, here is a link to his Vine page! <a href="https://vine.co/u/953536018974433280">https://vine.co/u/953536018974433280</a><o:p></o:p></div>

Hello everyone and
welcome to my blog! I am super excited about this haul because it is for my
classroom at church! I am a big church go-er, I love it and I am blessed to
have such a wonderful church. Now being with my church for about three years has
given me a wonderful chance to see what God wants out of me! I have been a
Sunday School teacher for a year and have been given the opportunity to do it
again for another year, I have also been a Vacation Bible School teacher for 2
years and was just recently given the chance to be a youth director. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Why should I care
about this, Kayla? Well, having all these blessings also carries the
responsibility of cleaning up after the little ones. I don’t mind it but I
could make it easier on myself by having things that organize our supplies. I
do plan on getting some other items in the future but for right now I thought I
would share what I do have. Not only have I include storage for supplies but
also a few books that we use for our Wednesday night bible studies.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoy!<br />

<br />
Hello everyone! Just
curious… do certain skincare products stop working on your skin after about 4
weeks or so? I seem to have to switch certain products out all the time.
Anyways today I am going to share my nightly skin care routine with you all.
Before I begin I feel like I should let you guys know about my skin situation;
I have breakouts all the time and I’m not 100% sure if its acne or dirt and
oils getting trapped or if its just something that I intake that my body
doesn’t handle well but it’s a very common thing that I have battled with since
I was 12, and depending on the seasons and time of year my skin is dry with an
oily nose, normal everywhere but the outer edges have dry patches, or
combination oily- currently its dry with an oily nose. <o:p></o:p><br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Please keep in mind
that everything listed is not something I do every night and those particular
things are in rotation on an every other night basis. Often times they are
replaced with something that is essentially the same but not quite; these
things have an asterisk (*) by them. I hope you enjoy!<o:p></o:p><br />

</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Step One:</strong> *I
exfoliate using Burt’s Bee’s Willow Tree and Peach Bark Scrub. I think that
this is gritty enough to exfoliate with and I find that it leaves my skin
feeling nice and smooth which I like.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<strong>Step Two:</strong> *I use
Freeman Feeling Beautiful Cucumber Peel Off Mask to basically clean really deep
and pull out any impurities that I may have.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Ft6yAe56wo8beHuOeBYFzmHI4AQN8Tr8EQj-ozrUBD9fJG8qTloCoROKp5lZT4A21uEmJmbiDEW8XRvfPIXg0yOfma0TfjkgZkLB33OQoGepoaV1IHdAl8KfArgS6hr741f2_c0HK_Ii/s1600/neutrogena-acne-stress-control-cream-wash-en.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Ft6yAe56wo8beHuOeBYFzmHI4AQN8Tr8EQj-ozrUBD9fJG8qTloCoROKp5lZT4A21uEmJmbiDEW8XRvfPIXg0yOfma0TfjkgZkLB33OQoGepoaV1IHdAl8KfArgS6hr741f2_c0HK_Ii/s1600/neutrogena-acne-stress-control-cream-wash-en.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Step Three:</strong> Possibly
my current favorite product of the moment, Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Power
Cream Wash is my nightly face cleanser.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyFA0TH2IRPvyMrvHfvzQWrymf89LFocTzuG8yIx_O2lrl2XTvsrbmqH9cDEuX_ruQB18UuY22e-DtjOPSXa2rSEndS7jS1uvjQmCjj-nuWXQZkb_hBHULzbTPX5C61S80uk9mqO30ydw/s1600/clearskin_blackhead_eliminating_daily_astringent_toner_125ml.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCyFA0TH2IRPvyMrvHfvzQWrymf89LFocTzuG8yIx_O2lrl2XTvsrbmqH9cDEuX_ruQB18UuY22e-DtjOPSXa2rSEndS7jS1uvjQmCjj-nuWXQZkb_hBHULzbTPX5C61S80uk9mqO30ydw/s1600/clearskin_blackhead_eliminating_daily_astringent_toner_125ml.jpg" height="320" width="91" /></a></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Step Four:</strong> As a toner
I use Avon Blackhead Eliminating Daily Astringent with a round cotton pad<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEP5ig-H8TejkUo-1d-5msScTScPgaWT0M5686-Xt2YSPBEoa8nXZnqcpfkFMW3oBuTyQwsdd7vv282FehEfjYlO1uFAg_IWTGqo_jlh4OcsoCe-ZgZv4mBLUSVIAKV77Qo7dUfByjxWNB/s1600/0089299200239_500X500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEP5ig-H8TejkUo-1d-5msScTScPgaWT0M5686-Xt2YSPBEoa8nXZnqcpfkFMW3oBuTyQwsdd7vv282FehEfjYlO1uFAg_IWTGqo_jlh4OcsoCe-ZgZv4mBLUSVIAKV77Qo7dUfByjxWNB/s1600/0089299200239_500X500.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Step Five:</strong> *As I let
the toner dry, I exfoliate my lips with a tooth brush and then apply an EOS Lip
Balm. (On nights I don’t exfoliate my lips I simply brush my teeth as opposed
to doing it after I have completely cleaned my face.)<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcOJ9teyGh99rZJBfEwEtN6IP_kaoFiA6mMnoElIS7ZAXP1frrZQteqsS0QWDXg9n7GsYUXNFJXRkYZd0WS86Modv2NL6A1JH3txCaGTWpK7d8VEk7CMKAd-8nelA6bp_owirfaJ-GBbt5/s1600/300.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcOJ9teyGh99rZJBfEwEtN6IP_kaoFiA6mMnoElIS7ZAXP1frrZQteqsS0QWDXg9n7GsYUXNFJXRkYZd0WS86Modv2NL6A1JH3txCaGTWpK7d8VEk7CMKAd-8nelA6bp_owirfaJ-GBbt5/s1600/300.JPG" /></a></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Step Six:</strong> I use 2 ½
pumps of Olay Fresh Effects Long Live Moisture Moisturizer all over my face
using a cosmetic wedge.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOwKntYhTbKGSYKFa1ISvrm1ssTQwvG-UKgpHB3wWCkD47J1yZ3oO6Bjruz1iwwKaJBfAZursQRCGfMTEnTothP3xSLbYFNNtkhr1s2XuQ868Ij0N5QT8jy6W7dpEm5xs2x1zbIMHB4nUj/s1600/pDGC1-10863767v380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOwKntYhTbKGSYKFa1ISvrm1ssTQwvG-UKgpHB3wWCkD47J1yZ3oO6Bjruz1iwwKaJBfAZursQRCGfMTEnTothP3xSLbYFNNtkhr1s2XuQ868Ij0N5QT8jy6W7dpEm5xs2x1zbIMHB4nUj/s1600/pDGC1-10863767v380.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Step Seven:</strong> While I
let my moisturizer set in a bit, I apply Carmex lip balm over my lips to give
an extra moisturizing layer to make my lips extra soft.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcBHNyvAkc7jWNpcFTmZOBSGRZv4VBRAkPg8L1XiEZ_3cC9G_pCUcNTxHJ7qmvsII0a9JtzVoENA-L_vERJvRFMRlo3AJZRXQT3e2ITT-u0EnMWvqWOvN7LneGuHJ2ZMXLf_NVEGRmaInS/s1600/p261947_1_ca_en_ca_pd.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcBHNyvAkc7jWNpcFTmZOBSGRZv4VBRAkPg8L1XiEZ_3cC9G_pCUcNTxHJ7qmvsII0a9JtzVoENA-L_vERJvRFMRlo3AJZRXQT3e2ITT-u0EnMWvqWOvN7LneGuHJ2ZMXLf_NVEGRmaInS/s1600/p261947_1_ca_en_ca_pd.png" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Step Eight:</strong> As
mentioned, I have dry areas, so to combat them I apply Avon Elements Moisture
Boost Night Cream to those dry areas using a cosmetic wedge.<br />
<o:p></o:p> </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
And that is my
nightly routine!<br />
<br />
*** If you noticed I didn't include a "cleansing" mask then Kudos to you... Currently I am using two different masks for different reasons- Queen Heleen Mint Julep and Freeman Feeling Beautiful Cucumber Peel Off Mask***<br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
But I have a few tips
for you guys ;)! <o:p></o:p><br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Every other night I tend to boil a pot of water
and lean over it with a towel over my head and sheltering the steam over my
face. This opens up the pores really well and gives you a better opportunity to
clean your face as best as possible.<o:p></o:p><br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->If possible use the same brand and line of
products for your skin care. It makes the products work as best as they can. At
the moment my skincare is all over the place because I have too many preferences
or I simply have products that I need to use up before purchasing anything
else. However, I may-in the near future- go with Neutrogena Acne Stress Control
Power Cream Wash, Neutrogena Acne Stress
Control Power Clear Scrub, Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Triple Action Toner,
Queen Heleen Mint Julep Mask, Olay Fresh Effects Long Live Moisture Moisturizer
and Olay Fresh Effects Dew Over Hydrating Gel Moisturizer or Neutrogena
Oil-Free Moisture Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin and Neutrogena Deep Moisture Night
Cream.<br />
<o:p></o:p> </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Acne Products (MOST) use either Salicylic Acid or
Benzoyl Peroxide make sure that the products you are using are one or the
other, don’t mix and match them.<br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->On that same subject, figure out which acne
treatment is right for you. Research it and try out 1 type one month and the
other the next. <o:p></o:p><br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Acne products WILL dry out your skin, so make
sure you are moisturizing very well.<o:p></o:p><br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->6.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->It doesn’t matter if you have oily skin,
combination skin, or dry skin- you’re not getting the moisture your face/body
needs so moisturize!<br />
<o:p></o:p> </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->7.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Change out your bed sheets about once a week…
you sweat at night and that oil can and will find its way back into that pretty
face of yours.<o:p></o:p><br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->8.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Stop touching your face. Your hands are dirty.<br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->9.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Before popping that pimple or doing your makeup
or washing your face- wash your hands. I keep sanitizer at my vanity/makeup
table, in my purse (just in case I get bored during classes or whatever and
feel like I will be taking a chance at touching my face), and right beside my
sink because let’s face it if I see a pimple it’s getting popped and a mirror
is where I criticize myself the most- therefor any imperfections will get
noticed.<o:p></o:p><br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
On a side note… I’m
not a dermatologist or a doctor, I have done much research and I am very
particular with how my skin is taken care of so what I know is based purely on
research and personal preferences.</div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed!<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Hello everyone and
welcome to my blog! I have seriously been beating around the bush to get this
post done- all day! I finally sat down to do it and then somehow went on a
curious pinning spree on Pinterest and well… now I’m finally here seven hours
later. That is so unlike me. I honestly have not been picking up my computer
much at all lately so I assume that when I finally got the chance I really went
all crazy on finding things I like. I guess that is what makes me a girl! Sorry
this post is much delayed, as told I’ve been in Virginia and I would not dare
neglect time with my Nana to blog. That would be insane! <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Anyways today I
thought I would share some stuff I purchased while I was on my way back home
from Virginia, passing through North Carolina to dodge traffic because it’s
honestly crazy how far traffic is backed up on I-85. While this is not
everything I purchased, this is a good bit. I did decide to split this into 3
hauls for the sanity of my own. Also this entire haul is not exactly from North
Carolina… I got some samples while in Virginia and decided that I could throw
it in here since it was not necessarily purchased by me. So with no further
remarks, shall we begin?<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
(D)- Dollar Tree
Purchase<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Oil Absorbing
Blotting Paper 50 sheets: (D) I’ve only ever tried two brands of blotting
papers and to be entirely honest… they are all the same. Of course that’s a
personal opinion but I find that these are no exception to that opinion. They
get the job done! I would repurchase these as I would the others but $3 vs. $1
this is definitely the better buy. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Global Beauty Care Cleansing
Cloths 25 Count: (D) I am a sucker for makeup remover wipes from the Dollar
Tree. I use them most often when I am doing reviews and videos and when Natilee
and Sarah are over. They are cheap and wipe off swatches and mess-ups easily.
However, I have found that not all of the wipes are worth that dollar I pay.
With that in mind, I would say that these are fairly good wipes. The quality is
equal to knock-off brands of Neutrogena makeup wipes. If you’re into that.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Salon Selectives 3
Minute Hair Therapy Intense Conditioning Treatment: (D) I have yet to give this
a go, but as soon as I try it you will surely see a review! On the purchase of
this… I am all about some conditioning treatments for my hair and if I can find
something that does a great job with a price tag I can swallow its bound to be
a blessing!<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Swan Strengthening Nail Polish Remover: (D) I
have repurchased this a good three times now. Nail polish remover is about the
same as a blotting paper to me, it’s all the same- as far as what’s in the
bottle. Needless to say, this gets the job done and as much as Natilee uses to
remove nail polish it’s a good thing its only a dollar! It’s a good thing I
love that little lady!<o:p></o:p><br />

Dove Deep Moisture
Body Wash: (S) We all know that this is a holy grail! So no need to review it
here and now.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Dove Oxygen Moisture
Shampoo: (S) I have been wanting to give this a try since I first saw it
advertised. Many of my friends use the Dove shampoos and conditioners and have
recommended it to me multiple times, but my shampoo and conditioner is less
than $2 a bottle and I’ve used it for years so we shall see if this changes my
mind! Expect to see a review soon.<o:p></o:p><br />

Dove Oxygen Moisture
Conditioner: (S) Again, I have been wanting to give this a go since I first saw
an advertisement… expect to see a review soon.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
St. Ives Even and
Bright Pink Lemon and Mandarin Orange Scrub: (S) I am very excited to see if
this works or not. I have never seen it until now and I have fallen in love
with the use of scrubs… so I look forward to reviewing this in the near future!<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Hello everyone and
welcome to my blog! I’m kinda enjoy this new intro of mine- it’s a lot like the
intro I use with YouTube! Quick Question, when you blog or vlog do you feel
like you are just talking with your viewers? I do it all the time! Anyways,
today I thought I would share one of my most worn makeup looks of -literally-
all time! It’s super simple and super easy but it looks like you put a ton of
effort into it. I just love it! I got the idea from a little bit of Taylor
Swift, Miley Cyrus, and some of my fellow classmates.<br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So tell me how to get
this look Kayla. Don’t mind if I do!<br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step One: I apply my
everyday foundation routine!<br />
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7B7sT-s3JTZyJ-o77A3TgwWkQyrlYKBpo4fMg6EYJPOcmeUIJfYBOgkMDCX1Quc2_mWMyKT1Rsv3MuuZoHfsqmtiSm6nC1-_sMKZmCgsqUo6en15rKgWDjFHgW_Z1dlRqg4UA4eq3neWI/s1600/IMG_1248.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7B7sT-s3JTZyJ-o77A3TgwWkQyrlYKBpo4fMg6EYJPOcmeUIJfYBOgkMDCX1Quc2_mWMyKT1Rsv3MuuZoHfsqmtiSm6nC1-_sMKZmCgsqUo6en15rKgWDjFHgW_Z1dlRqg4UA4eq3neWI/s1600/IMG_1248.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Two: Then I use
Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal in Barely Branded and apply it to my eyelids.<br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Three: This step
is just something I do when I have the extra time but, I use the Wet ‘n’ Wild
<br />
trio in Walking on Eggshells Brow bone shade and highlight my brow bone and
inner corner.<br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Four: Then I use
Almay Eyeliner in Brown and tight line. Then use E.L.F. Brown Liquid Liner to
line my upper lash line. <br />
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEFjA_sym7VTHMn8NPIDtlvxo-vMkPzyZuNUaAGg40JyGt1ZfOJslGq6i_8JP748i3cdhzIR5V-G9pMdXTPRrcMAUl4qso7w-_-neVcI4Y_NcPMxMkZIUGp0yYy5JdmD8NlfNXG2c4AzPa/s1600/IMG_1330+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEFjA_sym7VTHMn8NPIDtlvxo-vMkPzyZuNUaAGg40JyGt1ZfOJslGq6i_8JP748i3cdhzIR5V-G9pMdXTPRrcMAUl4qso7w-_-neVcI4Y_NcPMxMkZIUGp0yYy5JdmD8NlfNXG2c4AzPa/s1600/IMG_1330+(2).JPG" height="258" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Five: I curl my
lashes with N.Y.C. Eyelash Curler and use Jordana Best Lash Extreme Mascara to
coat my lashes. Usually I would wear Benefit They’re Real Mascara and that
would be it.<br />
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Six: Going over
the coat of mascara I use Covergirl Clump Crusher to spread out the lashes and elongate
them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO8lADlOwde8gPxk-S-3QvPzf-g-aV_26lITcN4T79_xv6evBsDYJydzPwJ611llRWD54rEswYIYDQgnXLQgwd_mIkbKy62TwPOKdyynOmuVNm8I3HtGVN70EMhIBFIyPORw1I3349POmQ/s1600/IMG_1251.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO8lADlOwde8gPxk-S-3QvPzf-g-aV_26lITcN4T79_xv6evBsDYJydzPwJ611llRWD54rEswYIYDQgnXLQgwd_mIkbKy62TwPOKdyynOmuVNm8I3HtGVN70EMhIBFIyPORw1I3349POmQ/s1600/IMG_1251.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Seven: Apply
E.L.F. Jumbo Glossy Lip Stick in Movie Star.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Eight: Apply E.L.F.
Lip Gloss in Game On.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
And that is my very
basic and effortless but highly glamorous makeup look! <br />
<br />

Hello Everyone! When
you think glamorous, big, long lashes… what do you think? Lauren Curtis? False
Lashes? I think Mascara! Kayla, do you always have to be the odd ball? Yep,
that’s me! Well anywho, anyways, anyjanedoe… wait, what? I think I went too
far. Today I thought I might clue you in on what I do to achieve glamorous
lashes without the falsies. WHHATTT? No falsies? Yep, no false lashes! What
kinda Beauty Guru are you?! Apparently not a normal one! Haha. <o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I don’t do falsies,
I’d just rather spend the money on mascara because I like mascara anyways and I
just think that falsies are a little ‘over the top’ sometimes. Don’t get me
wrong they are stunning- but I didn’t where false lashes to my junior or my
senior prom, not even for my J.R.O.T.C. Military Ball sooo… but hey if that’s
what you like, well then that’s who you are and we can’t all always like the
same thing. Otherwise… Life. Would. Be. Boring.<o:p></o:p><br />

<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So, tell me about
this miraculous discovery…!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqRB-TjVK7-6I8SIyrFBbCllxSFJ4UZrH0flAtTnNkY90IZrNrtmpU-Yd4gfo-sFPK90oZ1NbXG22RdFFcwr3XwYxoOakCI2y72MwcRngAUHhD1hPpznw_l_-ci2macIPN5-vgGNNtsG6Y/s1600/new-york-color-eyelash-curler-en.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqRB-TjVK7-6I8SIyrFBbCllxSFJ4UZrH0flAtTnNkY90IZrNrtmpU-Yd4gfo-sFPK90oZ1NbXG22RdFFcwr3XwYxoOakCI2y72MwcRngAUHhD1hPpznw_l_-ci2macIPN5-vgGNNtsG6Y/s1600/new-york-color-eyelash-curler-en.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step One: Curl those
lashes- Base and middle! My tool of choice? N.Y.C. Eyelash curler. It has this
spring that I believe helps you hold the curlers there with a firm grab to get
a bigger, better, closer, curl. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
Step Two: Anyone know
my favorite mascara? Maybe. Benefit They’re Real Mascara. Love it! Hate the
price! Anyways apply it. Don’t have it? Try Maybelline Falsies Flared… Serves
the same purpose in this case.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1k3azY5o8zcoQ5F7eM6efFeRPiL20GF1dh0D2dk2sS2DnZF8V2Z07NQbVHeJjqLJQIevUJ1Vq0M34DEac0IxDbLcBE5VoVtcT2dn2iPxItGFWuXaJLhSs6N7o-2N3A4P7spN3r5o0R1M1/s1600/cg_clump_crusher_mascara_1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1k3azY5o8zcoQ5F7eM6efFeRPiL20GF1dh0D2dk2sS2DnZF8V2Z07NQbVHeJjqLJQIevUJ1Vq0M34DEac0IxDbLcBE5VoVtcT2dn2iPxItGFWuXaJLhSs6N7o-2N3A4P7spN3r5o0R1M1/s1600/cg_clump_crusher_mascara_1.png" height="320" width="248" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Three:
Immediately apply Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara. Millions of lashes. Lots of
length. Plenty of volume. No suffering. <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Four: Curl
lashes again. GIANT LASHES!<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Five: Take a
small index card and coat the tips of lashes with Milani Runway Lashes or
Jordana Best Lash. Personally I hate
both mascaras because they are so wet and never dry out in the tiniest amount!
But they work well in this case. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Have you ever
wondered what is on someone’s permit or driver’s license? I remember being
younger and would always look at them! Still do. Anyways, today I thought I
would share what is on my driver’s permit! Well, kinda. I’m sharing how my
make-up is! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Truth be told I’m a
little behind on the whole driving wagon… I didn’t get my permit until I was 3
months away from being 19. But, I really didn’t have the interest to do so. I’m
lucky to have the parents I have to get me back and forth where ever it may be
that I needed/wanted to go- on their time of course. Also throughout high
school, I have been involved in study programs and band-so I didn’t have the
time. After I graduated this year I made it a point to get my permit.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
There you go again,
all off topic Kayla. Oh right. Here is my makeup look for my driving permit!<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step One: Who doesn’t
like primer? I adore it, mostly anyways… my choice: Miliani Eye Primer. Applied
by ring finger. No tricks here!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Two: Using the
Urban Decay Shadow Brush I simply patted L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Iced
Latte all over the lid. Beautiful!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Three: E.L.F.
Crease Brush + Urban Decay Naked = Crease Transition Color (Like that math? Me
too!)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Four: One thing
I love more than almost anything in my makeup collection? My Curiouser and
Curiouser Eyeshadow palette that I purchase while in Disney! Oddly enough I
used the E.L.F. Essential Concealer brush to apply Mushroom (a taupe shade) to
the outer ‘v’ and into the crease. Then I blended it using (naturally) E.L.F.
Blending Brush. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Five: I love
highlighting my eyes! #Facehate. Using the ever so popular Wet ‘n’ Wild
Eyeshadow Trio in Walking On Eggshells’s Browbone color and E.L.F. Studio ‘C’
Shadow Brush I highlighted the brow bone and inner corner. Possible the
prettiest brow bone highlight ever!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Six: Ever wonder
what eyeliner is a must for my sensitive eyes? Keep going. Almay eyeliner! (No
specific name just that- strange) For this look I used the brown pencil. Why? I
kinda have the tendency to loose makeup and just pick up whatever eyeliner is
visible… so brown works. Outer water line and outer tightline. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Seven: See my
Glamorous Mascara Routine!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Lips:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step One: EOS Lip
Balm in Sweet Mint is an amazing lip primer! Not so much on the moisturizing
part of things. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Step Two: Lips were
stained from the day before with Avon Ultra Color Lipstick in Hibiscus (great
for the super-white-teeth-red-lippy) but over top of that is Avon Ultra Color
Lipstick in Rosewine <3<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hello everyone and
welcome to my blog! Today I thought it would be a good idea to share a haul
consisting of beauty related items. As most of you know I live in little ole
Alabama, but I recently went to Virginia because I thought my Nana could use a
support system in the loss of my great-grandmother. I really had an amazing
time and I am so glad that the opportunity approached itself for me and my
daddy to go up there to see her. It’s been years! Now while I went up there for
her, I am a daddy’s girl and I spent a large amount of time with Nana and I do
not regret it but I really needed some “Daddy-Kayla” time. During this time we
went to a few Dollar Trees ($)… which is my favorite store in the whole world! I
know so many people frown on this store because its “cheap” but I find some of
the most amazing things there. And what have you lost by spending a dollar on
something that you may or may not like? Not that much. I also went to Walmart
(*) and a store called Dollar Tree Deals (#).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Anyways everything I
purchased will probably be spread out into 3 hauls which will be shared
strictly to this blog! Also, I may include a small review for some items within
this post and others I may include in a side review later on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Wet ‘n’ Wild Wild
Shine Nail Polish in Sparked</strong>: ($) I have the most nail polishes of anyone I
know and I just thought, Well I really need more. So what did I do? I bought
more… But I swear I had a good reason for each of them. For example, this particular
shade was bought for an accent nail color. There is one nail polish put out by
Rimmel London called Pink some-thing another and it’s a shade I wear 90% of the
time. It’s a nude-mauve-pink with a fairly shiny finish and I have such a hard
time finding a color that looks good as an accent nail. Long story made short…
I bought this, it works really well, and it dries fast enough for me to like
it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This picture doesn’t
do the polish much justice but it’s perfect and shows up exactly the way it
shows in the bottle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Wet ‘n’ Wild Wild
Shine Nail Polish Clear Nail Protector</strong>: ($) In honesty… I really needed a top
coat. I’m not crazy about this one because its very runny and takes a while to
dry. But it does make the chipping of polish minimal. So if you can justify
that then this is a good top coat for you. I’ll use it but I won’t repurchase
it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>L.A. Colors Color
Craze Nail Polish in Sea Foam:</strong> ($) L.A. Colors nail polishes are very hit and
miss for me, I would say I have tried all of the shades and about 25% do a good
enough job for me to give them a thumbs up. This one is what I decided would
look nice on my toes for the final bit of Summer and I am very impressed with
it. It isn’t streaky and it dried pretty fast and chipping is minimal. The
color is very pretty and I have nothing like it in my collection. So if you see
it while out and about it, I’d give it a chance.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>L.A. Colors Color
Craze Nail Polish in Beach Babe</strong>: ($) Again, a very hit and miss brand. I had
this on my fingernails and I am just not impressed with it. It takes forever to
dry and it is very streaky, but it is pretty. Again, I have nothing like it in
my collection but I will be on the hunt for something better! It just doesn’t
do it for me. But it’s a stunning color.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

decided it would be a post for a later date! ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Milani The
“Multitasker” Face Powder in Medium</strong>: (*) My favorite powder in the world has
been discontinued… thank you very much Maybelline… I hate you. In fact let me
ramble on the thoughts I have of Maybelline. The brand discontinued Dream
Mousse Blushes and replaced them with Dream Bouncy Blushes… which are terrible
in my opinion. On top of that Maybelline replaced Dream Matte Powder with Dream
Wonder which is a disappointment to the beauty world. If you have a good
product that is a holy grail to so many people then you should leave well
enough alone. For these reasons I pretty much keep my Maybelline purchases to a
minimum because if I find a product I like and it is then discontinued... what
is the point? To waste my time? Apparently. Anyways, I purchased this powder in
hopes to replace Maybelline Dream Matte and I will review it very, very, very
soon!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Hello everyone!
Today I have a foundation routine to share with you all. I love foundation, but
it’s not one of those things that I wear all that often because I am very
cautious of my skin. While I love how flawless my face is by the time my
cosmetics have covered my face, I would also just love to get by with a tinted
moisturizer and not feel like everyone is staring at my acne- my point here is
that foundation can clog pores… I try to keep my pores as squeaky clean as
possible. With that said, I wore my second go to foundation today and just
thought I would share. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Don’t get me
wrong Maybelline Super Stay Foundation is still my absolute favorite foundation
by far but when I was in 6<sup>th</sup> or 7<sup>th</sup> grade, my best friend
–Hannah B. was doing my make-up during a Physical Education class and I
remembered how beautiful Avon Ideal Flawless looked on my skin. So my ever so
popular best friend Hannah S. (who has been featured here on my blog multiple
times) told me her mother was selling Avon, which is one of those company’s
everyone forgets about, but they were having a really good sale on foundations
and her mother had given me a sample of this particular foundation… needless to
say I jumped right on the deal and purchased it for myself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Despite the
reviews this foundation gets, I really like it. It’s full coverage, pretty easy
to match to your skin tone, lightweight, and a pretty finish (matte but
certainly not too matte- flat. It’s almost a natural finish). It features a
sleek design and a pump which is awesome. The number 1 complain that the rest
of the world has is there is no SPF, which I frankly don’t mind because the
only time I really wear any foundation is when there is a formal event, when I
know there will be pictures, and when I should look as put together as
possible. So SPF is not a big deal to me. The staying power is about equal to
Maybelline Super Stay and while I believe me and the rest of the world would
love to say that a foundation stays put and looking the same way it did when it
was applied for 12+ hours… that kinda staying power just doesn’t exist in any
foundation I’ve tried, found, or even heard reviews about. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Anyways, on with
the face!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Step One: I
applied the moisturizer of choice in the current age and stage of life… Olay
Fresh Effects Long Live Moisture. I personally use a cosmetic wedge to apply
moisturizer to my face possibly because I’m a weirdo but I’m also very careful
when it comes to my face hygiene.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Step Two: I
personally used the E.L.F. Studio Powder brush to apply Avon Ideal Flawless
Foundation in Light Nude (which is equivalent to Sand Beige in Maybelline Super
Stay foundation). I use two pumps directly on to the brush, dot it all over my
face- more specifically in ‘problem areas’, and blend it in a buffing motion. I
also bring it down my neck just to make sure its blended well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Step Three:
Using E.L.F.’s Essential Total Face brush I dust Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
all over, beginning on the nose, working on to the cheeks, brushing another
swipe onto the forehead and then elsewhere. Luckily, I don’t use make-up very
often so I still have this little guy around. What do you all think of the new
Dream Wonder? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Step Four: Can
we take a minute to appreciate E.L.F. Cosmetics? I love not only their brushes
but the cosmetics as well. I use the Studio Blusher and Bronzer duo in St.
Lucia, I’ve had it two years and just hit pan! Anyways I use the bronzer
all-the-time, well every time I do make up, and I always use the E.L.F.
Essential Blush Brush. I love the angle it gives me for a nice, strong contour.
Personally I start the bronzer at the tragus (basically the middle of the ear)
and stop about mid cheek. I then take what is left of the brush and contour the
jaw line and then the temples and hair line; one side per dip. Forget the ‘3’
and ‘E’ stuff. It just doesn’t work for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Step Five: Over
the years I have developed much love to blushers. It really gives you that glow
you love in the summer (my favorite blush of all time is what I refer to E.L.F.
Studio Blusher and Bronzer duo- Blush side), the ‘Baby, it’s cold outside’
kiss, or the fresh, light pink colors of spring. I personally believe it is
just as important with blushes as it is to bring out your seasonal lipsticks,
nail polish, clothes, and even scents. Agreed? So because Summer is coming to
an end (Thank God!) and Autumn is coming to a beginning in just a few weeks or
so I decided to reach for Wet ‘n’ Wild’s Blusher in Pearlescent Pink applied
lightly with E.L.F. Studio Blush Brush. Perfect for the transitional weather!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Step Six: Anyone
here watch Melissa on YouTube… Ya know “Are ya ready for the weekend baybay”?
Well if you do then im 100% positive you know how much she loves highlighting…
me on the other hand, I don’t highlight too much as far as the facial part
goes. I used the ever-so-popular Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer in Tiki to
highlight my cheek-bones, cupid’s bow, and just above my eyebrows with
some-no-name-round-short-brush-that-I’m-pretty-postitive-was-meant-for-blush-in-a-stupid-company’s-handbook-but-is-not-at-all-possible-in-my-book

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Step Seven: I
hear all-the-time how important it is to ‘frame’ your face by doing your
eyebrows… I disagree with that statement. Anyone else? No. Okay I’m sorry, my
mistake BUT I do my eyebrows using an angled eyeliner brush from E.L.F.’s
Studio line and E.L.F. Studio Eyebrow Kit in Medium (the powder side only) and
‘shade’ in the basic shape of my eyebrows beginning in the arch and working my
way to the outer part of the brow ^.^ and then tame those long things with a
clear mascara… in this case from the following trend in today’s post- E.L.F.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Step Eight: While
I’ve only tried two ‘setting sprays’ (E.L.F. Mist and Set and Basic Hairspray)
today I chose to the ever so trusty Mist and Set setting spray- which I’m
pretty sure is just water with benefits but hey, let me think im actually doing
something. Do you have any recommendations for setting sprays? I’d LOVE to
know!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Step Nine: Get
the rest of your face on girl! ;) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">And ladies and
gentlemen… that is my Late Summer Flawless Face! Hope you enjoyed! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Hello everyone
and welcome back to my blog! Welcome back? Yes! I have been neglecting my blog
and YouTube channel for such a long time and I decided enough was enough! Truth
is, I’ve had all these excuses as to why I wasn’t very active that I finally
just stopped and admitted to myself that, everyone struggles and I needed to
take a break from life in general. I was honestly very unhappy because I am
overweight and my health isn’t the best in the world and i just wasn’t happy
with life in general-a low point if you will. So I took a break! I took quite a
long time off and during that time, I graduated, went to Disney and really
found out that beauty isn’t everything I’m interested in. I started this blog
thinking about one thing: beauty- don’t get me wrong I still love beauty and
makeup and so on, but I also love cooking and fashion and planning and writing
and so much more! I found it hard to only limit myself to beauty when as a
person I am very broad as to what I like and what I don’t like.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Cut to the chase
Kayla! Well, okay, only because you insisted! My blog- and I- are back up and
running! In a new and improved way of course! Lace In Ruffles was simply about
being pretty and feeling pretty and now its been through enough surgery that
now its about being beYOUtiful! To be entirely honest, I barely wear makeup- I
love it and I adore it but I just don’t wear it on a daily basis, only when me,
myself, and I want to- or on a special occasion! So with that being said- I plan
on doing much more with my blog. PSSSST. That even includes details on my diet
and exercise!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">What? Diet and
exercise? Well, yes, of course! So many years I have struggled with my weight
and tried so many “diets” and other things that eventually I would give up! But,
not this time. I am fully committed because I would really just love to breathe
better and not have to struggle to put on a pair of jeans and feel good in my
own skin. I started a low carb diet (20 net carbs per day) on July 28<sup>th</sup>
and I plan on doing this particular diet until I get to my goal weight, 150
pounds, or jean size, 12. That’s about 80 pounds to lose or 5 jean sizes. Once
I get to my goal, I intend on going on a pure healthy diet. This includes
salads and many vegetables. Why? For one, I would rather eat a ton of
vegetables than anything else. For two, I don’t wanna feel this way ever again!
For three, I want to know what healthy feels life- I have been overweight my
whole life and its time for a change!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So what else do
you plan on including with this blog of yours? I’m glad you asked! While there
will be times that I take a break and doing things my own way- I plan on
eventually writing a story! When I first started to learn to write and read, I
would constantly be writing songs and eventually I wrote a few “books”. I am
quite the interesting cookie underneath it all! So I plan on writing a few
chapters at a time and posting them. That’s really odd, Kayla. Yeah, I know but
I am a odd person with odd interests and I think its really important to be
yourself. So that is exactly what I will be doing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Did I mention
that I applied for a job? I did! Hopefully one that wants me as much as I want
to work there! I think it would be very beneficial to my mental health,
physical health, personal needs and even beneficial to college! So there you
have it. Welcome back!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
