Clarity!

Im back yay! With no pink eye woop woop!!! It has been the longest past 2 weeks in a long time!! I worked 11 of 12 days, and each day was 12 hours (thats my regular shift), so Im so freaken happy to be on days off, and that they actually fall on a weekend!!

Things have been pretty low key for me, been watching alot of Olympics, and my heart beats with Canadian Pride more and more every day!! My bf's sister is in Vancouver right now taking in the festivities and Im super jelous! I wish I could be there to take it in!! She Met Scott Hamilton and Michelle Kwan earlier today!! How freaken cool is that! And one of my good friends was there to witness Canada win thier first Olympic Gold!!! My biggest passion I cant lie is hockey though. Lastnights game had me so mad though. We have a team full of NHL athletes and we still can put the puck in the net?!? AHHH! SO FRUSTRATING! I know this is not a blog about hockey, so sorry for venting haha! I hope we come together for the next game! This week I also went to an Arbonne Party!! Their products quite interest me. I tried their most popular anti aging line I recieved samples FC9 and I cannot belive how great my skin felt, but I am really not needing anti aging products yet, I think if I can keep my skin young and healthy now before I even need that. So I bought the FC5 clenser and night cream to start. I will review when I get it. I did win a hand cream from the fc5 line as a door prize and it smells like a fruit explosion on my hands, almost like a fruitopia commercial! Smells sooooo yummy. Anyways, I will review that when it comes in!!

I felt like playing today, and Im actually quite happy with what I came up with today!! Bright blues!!! Maybe its because I've been dreaming of blue ocean water!!!! I wanted a bright blue look! Here you go!

Long time no post...sorry :(

Okay, I apologise for being MIA over the last week. First I was back on shift and that leaves me no time for anything fun or makeup related 5am doesnt bring me alot of motivation for makeup. Then I got asked to work some OT shift, which works for me cuz it helps me with a little extra funding for my budget and that will eventually leave me with a bit more to play with makeup wise!! AND THEN, I got pink eye. FML. No makeup for me for awhile. I got meds finnally though, and in one day its cleared up alot. So I figure by next week sometime I should be good to go.

I would also lik to welcome my first subscriber that inst a someone I've ever talked to before on Temptalia...so welcome Zerin!!!

Here is a look I did one one of my last days off!! Im still trying to figure out the best situation for pics in my apartment. I battle a light issue, so Im thinking of getting some sort of light ficture to fix this problem. Also need to practice camera whoring to find an angle that flatters my full face shot. THis one Im being a dork haha! Enjoy!

Get Fit Feb!

So as you may or may not know I've decided to make this 'Get Fit February" and Shayla decided to jump on Board too!! Woop Woop! We kinda decided that we would document everything in our blogs, as a way to keep track of what were doing and motiveate eachother too. It all started when I decided towards the end of January that I was going to try and break my Coke Habit!! It was a brutal weeek getting over it, now I just have on occasion (1 a week maybe). Then, my boyfriend and I decided to get rid of all the crappy food in our place for the most part. We literally threw out all the bad stuff (with the exception of some chocolate I am not willing to give up for occasions ;) haha ) in our cubboards! We had been making an effort to not eat as much junk, but now were pretty much eliminating it! Again we are not depriving ourselves of things, but for the most part eating a healthy balanced diet! We have also both been making an effort to go to the gym. at first I had a hard time getting motivation to get myself physically to the gym, once I was there I was fine...just the act off getting to the gym was hard, now 2 weeks in and Im pretty much dragging the BF there.
Last Week this was my routine Feb 2nd Cardio5 min warmup on treadmill, 1 hour intervals up to level 16 on the elliptical...once at 16 I'd bust it for about 4 minutes then back to 2 resistance and up to 16 again. then 5 min cool down on treadmill. Feb 3rd.5 min warmup, 20 minutes 8% incline on treadmill. then upperbody stregth routin. Feb 4th.I was pretty sore from working out and the chirpractor. So a lowerbody pilates video. Feb 5th.5 mins warmup on treadmill, 40 min intervals on treadmill up to 12% incline (highest it goes). Then upperbody stregth training again.

Im not gonna lie, since I got back on shift I havent done hardly anything! =( Its so hard to work 12 hour days and have the engery after to go to the gym! And I feel emotionally drained lately, I dont know what it is, maybe winter blues. One night me and the BF went for a half hour walk outside in the cold! Thats it, but Tomorrow Im going to definately get up and do pilates before work. And then after work Im going to go to the gym in the evening and bust out my agressions from my work shift. Then its my weekend! YAY!

XO

Hopefully I can get into a better routine

Friday...but my Sunday

Boo Back to work for me tomorrow!! *sigh* only two more shifts then Im off weekends for another 4 weeks!!!

There is only two pictures for todays post due to a reaction on my skin. I started using the Revlon Photo Ready Foundation and a Vichy clenser/exfoliant at the same time. My skin is finiky, and reacts to things sometimes. I wasnt sure which it was, but after taking a break from the foundation and using the clenser only my skin is clearing up. So a smuch as I loved Photo Ready, its going into my no-no pile!! Darn it. I need to get to a Sephora (maybe when I visit Edmonton sometime soon hopefully!!) to try MUFE HD!!! There is nowhere here that sells it.

Anywho, I was kinda in a rush so I just wanted something kinda easy. Enjoy!

PS: SO EXCITED for MAC Riveting Collection!!! I've wanted Show Orchid for awhile and now it will finnally be mine!!! woop woop!!!

I simply just love days off!! For more reasons even then not being at work, although that is a HUGE part of it. I love being able to not get out of bed at 4:30 am, I love being able to work out at the gym every morning, I love having the time to put on my makeup. I do not love Meeko thinking that 4am is when we should get up though and meowing to let us know...nope, not a fan at all!

I think today were heading to the mall, check to see if the new collection is out or not. We only have a MAC counter at the Bay here though, so its hard to say. Half the time I go in there and ask questions I know more about whats coming out then they do. Then they ask me how I know all of this lol! Last week I was there to buy Violet Trance as mine is MIA. They were sold out, of course cuz they hardly have anything in stock it seems, but I saw this Mineralized shadow combo in Odd Couple and thought I'd give it a go. Heres how it turned out.

Another every day look

So I'm finding it *super* hard to blog on the days I work, 12 hour days make it tuff. Im going to try and make a better effort to though as part of my "Get Fit February" (more to come about that in my next blog). I plan on getting up earlier to do pilates and then have a few extra minutes to add to my makeup.

I'm complete jelous of everyones huge hauls from the new collection. Unfortunately for me I have impliment myself on a budget and a huge hauld definately isnt in the plan right now. I am lemming a few lippies though, which is new to me, as lippies are not what I usually go for. We will see what I end up actually getting though.

I also played with my camera a bit to try and take some better pictures with more true colors, so let me know if you think it made any difference.
