Just A Few Things Because I Need To Get To The Gym

Posted on by

This stopped me in my footsteps at Walmart yesterday.  Jeez he is cute!  Unfortunately he is inside wearing tight yoga pants with zippers.  A girl has to draw the line somewhere.

We moved into a smaller home with one less bedroom last summer.  This is what happens when two girls share a room and their mother has poor toy organization skills.

This is when said mother gets her shit together and gets to cleaning.  Now all that is left is to vacuum.  Guess I should buy a new vacuum since the old one went kaput.

This sweet pea right here loves to leave pictures and videos on my phone.  She has figured out the whole Instagram thing, so be prepared if you follow me.  I am @seriouslysassymama

I finally got bangs.  I wish they were fuller, but I do not know if that is possible for my hair.  The place I go has free bang trims.  Plus, I totally got a neck and shoulder massage.  It was awesome.  Like I said on facebook…  If a man in capri pants cuts your hair, you know it is going to be a good cut!

Time to get to the gym, then off to Walmart again to drool over Adam Levine and buy some groceries.  I may even buy some new lipstick.  Family Circle says coral is the new lip color.  How did they know that is totally my color?

Taking Care of Me Begins…

Posted on by

The multivitamins have been bought, and after eight years, I have finally made an eye appointment for a new pair of glasses.

I have also put together a little facial cleaning regimen for myself.  My old regimen consisted of either washing my face with some St. Ives, or whatever bar of soap was around, and then finishing it all off with some coconut oil.

Being three years from 40 made me start thinking about doing a little more.

Face Regimen

I decided to start with some glycolic acid and vitamin A because I have very flaky skin, and this scrub really exfoliates.  I used to get glycolic acid peels.  I suffered from adult acne and had to take accutane.  The vitamin A and glycolic acid have really helped with the scars..

There are too many eye creams to choose from, so I just decided to choose one of the more popular ones.

I have actually used argan oil before, and really liked it.  I have used it for three days, and already my skin is soft in the morning, and I can no longer see little dry flakes on my forehead.  Plus, argan oil absorbs quicker than coconut oil so I am not left with an oily face for too long.

I chose products that were essentially all natural because they are usually less irritating to my skin.
I am loving the results I am seeing right now.

Next step, buying new make-up.  This is going to be to be a tough one since all I have really worn the past 5 years is lipstick.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I chose the above brands because I have used them before.  They do not know me from Adam. 

I Cut My Hair

Posted on by

Actually, I cut my hair about three weeks ago.  I was running errands, and popped into a JcPenny, and BAM!

I decided to go with bangs and layers.  No highlights or color.

The bangs and layers give me some movement around my face.  My hair is really straight, and I tend to look very homey if I let it get too long.

My plan is to actually invest in a curling iron and hair products.  Nothing besides shampoo has really touched my hair in a very long time.  I was trying to remember the last time I colored my hair, and I think it has been 5 years.  Yep, I am that mom who does not wear make-up nor does her hair.

One of these days, I am going to go to the drug store and replenish my make-up.

P.S  The hair cut only cost me $32.00!

P.S.S  My shirt is from Old Navy, in case you wanted to know.  

I Need A New Look

Posted on by

Like the title says, I need a new look.  I am jumping on my weight loss wagon again, and really need a new look.

Now, when I say a new look, I mean a new look for my hair.

I am feeling a little like Crystal Gale right now.

This is me sans make-up with my hair down.  It is thin and straight.  Oh the days before kids when I actually had a full head of hair.

 

This is how I always wear it.  I still do not have any make-up on.  I rarely ever wear it.

In the past few years, I have had bangs, layers, and a bob.

I would probably like my current look more if I actually did my hair.  I own a hair brush and a blow dryer.  I do not own a curling iron, flat iron, or any products.

It is kind of sad, but when you have three kids and only work part-time (as a nurse), you tend to just pull your hair up.

I have been looking through magazines and the internet to get some ideas.

I have always loved this cut.  There is a nice long layer and some side swept bangs.  I would just let it air dry for some body.

I super love these bangs.

Love the layers.  Unfortunately, I have only ever met one person to ever give me layers that did not make me look like a mushroom head.  He disappeared from the planet.

Maybe what I need is a color change, or some highlights.

When I see this picture, I immediately want to run to the hairdresser and say do it.  I love everything about this cut and style.  the highlights are fabulous.  I think what really sells this is the girl in the picture.  She is ridiculously beautiful.

There is always the option of the full bang.

I am clueless as to what I should do with my hair.

Where is Sally Hershberger when you need her?
