Finally! A Day Off!

I've been working everyday for the past 2 weeks. I don't count the family brunch as a day off. But now I finally have 2 days off. I told them too that even if they need extra people don't bother to call me cuz I'll just say I'm sick.

Random thought. So both Jessica and I love the sound of a loud keyboard. But have you ever noticed that the typing sound compared to the backspace button is different. It's like it's saying 'fail, fail fail' thats the sound it makes.

Since I have the next two days off I must get my hair cut. It's to long and starting to split... Ah man there was something else I needed to do but now I can't remember. Oh yeah deposit my paycheck XD Oh and bring my games to gamestop

Look at my list of things I need to sell!

Merry Christmas

Chanukah and every other holiday celebrated. First I'd like to say that why were there so many people shopping on Christmas eve? It just doesn't make any sense. But yeah It's all good. Went home and my mom had food ready for me. Today I basically just ate leftovers, watched The Dark Night and have been on the comp since. But I do plan to clean my room before I go to bed.

I can't wait for seasonal to be completely over. I want some days off to hang with my friends. But for now I just have to deal with like a week of stuff going on sale. And sale stuff is never fun to clean up XP

As for other news, I recently found out Jon moved to Vegas. I'm so sad cuz of this. I was really missing him and was going to visit then Carissa told me he moved like 3 weeks ago.

Happy Holidays.

My Things For Sale Or Trade

This is where I'll post things that I want to sell or trade. I may even put some things on here that I'm not actually sure if I want to get rid of yet but if I get a good offer I probably will be willing to. (T) for trade, (S) for sell, (M) for maybe. Oh and since this is mainly for friends and such you've most likely been in my room and know what all I have. If I have something you're interested in that you know I don't really use or anything go ahead and ask about it. Once I have time and estimate value on some of the more expensive things I'll probably put it on craigslist or something. Will update this.

Tan end table my TV is on. (S) -need something that matches the rest of my room XD

Black game chair. (S) -got an ottoman, don't need both.

GPX Small Standup Stereo (S) - has 3 parts, 1 system and 2 speakers. The main system plays CD's, Tapes, and Radio. You can save up to 20 stations on it XD It plays perfectly, selling it cuz I found a diff one I SUPER want but costs a lot of money.

Just A Little Update With Some Big News

So today was my aunt's family brunch. She has it every year at her country club. To be honest when we first got there I got a little emotional. I couldn't help but think of my uncle and how much I miss him. I didn't want to cry in front of everyone so I got up right away to get food XD But it was so good. I had the most lovely plate of desserts. I'll post a pic of it latterz.

For some reason people keeps telling me they never see me anymore like I'm working overtime or something. Really I'm not. It just seems like that cuz They have me working just about everyday but it's not always an 8 hour shift and they have me on a weird schedule. Even if so I don't mind cuz I like most of the people I work with. Just wish I got paid a bit more XD

Now for some big news. There is a very good chance that by November of 2009 we will be moving. Thats when I lease is up. We just really can't afford to live here and since my step dad got in a fight, more like beating, with one of the workers there is a good chance they may not even let us sign a new lease. Sad part is that he will still be with us *major moans and groans* That is unless my mom and I can find a nice super cheap place. But I've been kinda holding back on telling people this cuz this seems to happen every year but its never been this bad. I don't remember the last time our fridge was actually full (T^T)

So I need more money. I know, who doesn't. But I need to save up for a car and college. So I plan to sell some of my things. Also cuz I look around and realize that I have a lot of things I no longer use or like and don't want to pack it when I move. So I'll be making a new post with the things I do plan to sell. I may do a trade for some... All the info will be in the post.

On a side note. I am now single again. We mutually decided to break up so we are still good friends.

Time To Party!.....

With a bunch of people way older than me lol It was still fun though. Last night was my half brother's surprise b-day. Went to the Eagles and had some food that wasn't mashed potatoes. Then spend the night at my aunts. Went to bed as soon as I got there I was so tired. And no I didn't drink. Just some rootie-tootie. Today my aunt and I spent the day baking and stuff. She bought me a 12oz box of raspberries. soooo good. I thought I had more to say but I guess I don't lol

Makeup Review And My Tips #1

Some of this isn't actual 'makeup' makeup but I still consider it to be.

REVIEW

~Carmex and Burt's Bees~
I have been using Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm in pomegranate, but recently switched to Carmex Click Stick. I love Burt's Bees products and I did like this one. When I put it on it it was smooth and did it's job. I also like the fact that the one tube I have has lasted me longer than any other lip balm I've ever had. What I don't like about it is that over all it didn't help my lips, and in the long run thats what counts. Carmex on the hand... I put it on once and it lasts me up till I eat something. Goes on super smooth and love the little bit of tingle I get from it. What I don't like is that I'm going through it crazy fast even though I'm not using it as much. It's really soft so I guess that even though it doesn't feel like it a lot is going on your lips. And sometimes if I don't talk a lot or eat/drink something it starts to get kinda grainy, but as soon as a smack my lips a few times it's all good again. But I think From now on I'll be getting Carmex. Plus it reminds me of my favorite person who always had them in every possible place lol

~St. Ives Apricot Scrub-Gentile, Clean & Clear Daily Pore Cleanser, Equate Blackhead Clearing Scrub~
Okay so I have combination skin that gets black heads like crazy. So a daily scrub is really important. The original one I was using was the Clean and Clear. I liked that it was actually helping, the amount in the container lasted a long time, and i actually got a lather from it. What I didn't like is that my skin grew immune/used to it way to fast, and the micro beads didn't really stay on my face if that makes any sense. Then I switched to Equate cuz it was basically a cheaper brand of Clean and Clear with a slightly diff. formula. I liked the texture of formula, its a lot thiker and really stays on the face while washing. What I don't like is that I really didn't help at all and I used it up in half the time I used the clean and clear even though they're the same size. Also it does suds up or even get a lather, which I really like. So finally I've switched over to St. Ives. In the past I had used it before but not the gentile one, does make a difference. So far I'm really loving it. It uses natural exfoliants but isn't harsh at all. When you put it on it's thick but really silky. Best of all I still get a bit of a lather. What I don't like so far is that it may be to hydrating. Cuz I still need to use a moisturizer but then I get oily. May have to experiment with the amount of both I use.

TIPS

~I kinda said it above but if you've got combination skin (you have combination skin if your T-zone gets oily but your cheeks and right around your mouth get dry) like mine and are prone to black heads it really is important to get a scrub you can use daily. Make sure they're oil free. And If you tend to get zits then make sure it has Salicylic Acid. Reasons you need this is cuz it removing dead skin and cleaning your pores and thats where black head are born. It also helps to get rid of acne scars.
~Lip care. Exfoliat your lips. Unlike the rest of our body your lips don't really naturally exfloliate themselves as much. The best way to do this is to actually lightly brush over them with your toothbrush. Also when putting something on your lips like lip balm or gloss I like to just take my finger and run it over my lips to get any extra dead skin off so it doesn't get on the actual product. It also helps to get some extra blood to them which plumps them out a tiny bit more to make sure you get the color on evenly. Make sure both your hands and toothbrush are clean if doing either of these.
~Eyeliner. Because of my eye shape I've had to experiment a lot with eyeliners so that they wouldn't smear onto my under eye. That just makes you look sloppy and old. First then you do when putting anything on your eyes is put on a primer, my favorite being Urban Decay. What has worked best for me is using Prestige Liquid Eyeliner. I don't (can't) put it on in one stoke and have it look flawless (like Amanda) so I like to put it on in three sections. Middle, outer and then the inner tear duct. I let it dry just a little bit then take a short bristled brush and go over the liquid liner. This makes it so that its not such a harsh line, smears out the little oops and picks up any extra stuff that may have smudged onto the lower lid. And don't worry, it wont ruin your brush, but you probably should clean it twice as much as you normally would a makeup brush just cuz it's almost right on your eye.


Please tell me about your experiences using any of these products or tips. And if there are any other tips you want to know.

Time To Prepare For Christmas

So It's not December, meaning I need to get ready for Christmas. I've been thinking about what to get people for the past week. First I was just gonna give everyone a choice between desserts, jewelry, or something bought. Then I was gonna just make a few desserts. Well now I'm thinking I may do both desserts and jewelry. I got some new things to make my charms with so I really want to try them out, thats the only reason I may do that. But for sure I'll be making some chocolate goods. For sure I'll be making both dark and white chocolate covered pretzels and spiced pecans. May or may not make fudge or truffles, even though thats what I'm really known for XD
