I wish I had a green thumb...

I spotted this in my grandmother's garden one morning while eating breakfast.  It is a little rough around the edges, but I think it's just gorgeous!  And I've never seen one that big in her garden before.

I wish I had a green thumb like my granny, but if I look at a plant funny, it falls over.  Ha!  My granny really loves her roses and clipping off some to make a bouquet for any visitors (so I get a lot of bouquets :)).  She gets that from her mother who I never met because she died when I was a baby, unfortunately.  But, according to granny, we would have gotten along very well especially since her mother and I share the same love for cats and animals in general.

I think I'll get out my oil paints and attempt a painting of the rose.  It's so beautiful and I'm glad it had a chance to bloom before the cold whether sunk in. :)

Well, that's it for now.

Later!

Guess I can't count today...

Hey guys!

Yes, I know it's been a while.  And instead of typing my excuses out here, I made a video a couple of weeks ago that I just got around to uploading.  Here it is, if you are interested:

Yeah, so I've been busy, but who hasn't been?  I'm going to keep up making videos no matter what. I just love to do it!  Also, I appreciate all of my subscribers new and old for your support. :)

I also made an OOTD video last week that I just now got around to uploading.  I may have goofed up and put "OOTD #6" in the title on the video... Oops.  It's actually OOTD #5.  I must have forgotten how to count...  Anyway, here is the video if you are interested:

And I'm just so excited the weather is cooling down and it's been a lot less humid outside!  It's my favorite time of the year! ^_^

Later!

I'm still alive! I promise!

Hello all!

I know I've been a bit reclusive lately, especially if you watch me on YouTube or have left me a comment there.  I apologize, and I will promise I will respond to your comments (for those of you who have left one) very soon and will make another video soon.  Also, I have surpassed 100 subscribers!  I am so thankful for that!  You guys do not know how much I appreciate your support!  It means so much to me! ^_^

As for my absence lately, for one, I have been on vacation at the beach, and another reason is I just haven't been feeling like myself lately.  Everybody goes through that at some time or another.  On top of that, I recently got my birth control shot (the depo shot) and that really gets my hormones out of whack for several days, so I get all sorts of moody. Lol.

I think I'm pretty much back to normal and have been thinking a lot about making another video for you guys.  I always want to do a giveaway sometime within the next few months to show you all how much I appreciate your support!  Again, I am just so grateful to have reached 100 subscribers!  I know that may not seem like a lot to most people on YouTube, but it does to me!  That many people are watching my videos and showing support for me!  That means the world to me!  And that is why I want to do a little something special for you all. :)

In my absence, I haven't been doing anything too spectacular or exciting.  As I said, I did go to the beach with my family, and it was a lot of fun.  Also, I've been doing a lot more painting.  Going to all the little beach shops and seeing other artists' work really inspired me to get back  into creating pieces of my own.  Painting is really therapeutic for me.  I'm not very good at it, but I enjoy the heck out of it, and that's what counts! :D

I've also been birthday present hunting like crazy... at the mall, the beach, online!  That's always such a difficult task for me.  I lack all creativity when it comes to picking out the right gifts for people!  Since, it was just my best friend's birthday and my fiancé's birthday is coming up soon, I wanted to get them good gifts since they are both very special people in my life.  I found one particular gift for Elgin that I thought was a perfect gift for a guy who plays guitar... but  I won't tell you guys what it is just yet, in case he happens to be reading this post. ;)

Also, if anyone has any questions, requests, comments, concerns, etc., please do not hesitate to let me know!  I love to hear from you guys! :)

That's it for now!

Later!

Coupons! They really make a difference!

I had never really gotten into couponing.  If I saw a useful coupon in the Sunday paper, I would clip it out and use it on occasion, but I'd never been to any of the coupon websites.

My dad's girlfriend, however, uses them often.  This morning she was picking out coupons online and asking me if I used this, or if I used that and it turns out quite a few of the items she listed, I did use, or could use.  So I hopped on my computer and went to www.coupons.com and www.couponsuzy.com and found several useful coupons.

Today, while I was out running errands, I stopped by Wal-Mart to pick up a few essentials and wound up saving $6.50 using coupons!

My absolute favorite shampoo and conditioner!!!  I saved $1.50 on this combo!

 

In addition to the $1.50 I saved on both shampoo and conditioner, I had a coupon for $0.75 off the shampoo! ^_^

 A new one for me.  I usually use the Tresemme hairspray, but since I had the coupon and absolutely looooove the shampoo and conditioner, I decided to give their hairspray a shot and the coupon saved me $1.00.

Another new one for me, but I know I'll just love it!!!  It smells SOOOO good.  I got the Jergens Crema in Hydrating Coconut Milk!  I just love the smell of coconut!  I saved $2.00 with a coupon.

And last but not least!  Rimmel Scandaleyes Show Off mascara.  I saved $1.50.

I think I may become a regular visitor of those coupon websites, as well as perusing the ads in the Sunday newspaper for coupons.  $6.50 may not seem like a lot of money, but overtime, it really does add up.  This was only one trip to the store, after all.  If you haven't tried clipping coupons, you should definitely try it out and see how much you'll save!

Later!

Sarah Manning (Tatiana Maslany) Look from Orphan Black

So I have fallen in love with the new series Orphan Black!  The first season just ended on the very beginning of this month.  If you haven't seen the series, you should go check it out!

One of my favorite things about the show is how Tatiana Maslany plays all the clones.  They are each different, have their own personality, some have different accents.  She plays them so well, it seems like they really are different people!  You forget each one is played by the same actress!

One of Tatiana Maslany's characters, Sarah Manning has a very punk-like, grungy style at the beginning of the series.  I really liked the look and decided to replicate it in my own way.

My attempt.

I think it's a very sexy, edgy look.  I'm thinking of perhaps uploading a video on my YouTube channel (link to the right, as always) showing what I did to achieve this look.  I'm kind of hesitant about it because I've never done a makeup video trying to replicate a look before... I feel more comfortable with the ideas that come out of my head.  Lol.  I guess it could be my own take on it.  Well, if you're reading this, let me know what you think of the look, what you think of the series, or it you'd like to see a video of this how to get this look, or all three.  Ha ha!

Well, that's it for now!

Hello, lovelies!

I guess I haven't really been keeping this thing updated, have I?  Well, I'll have you know that I got my groove back and am making videos again!  Yay!  That also means I'll be keeping my blog more updated as well.

Currently I'm uploading a video about eyebrow waxing with pre-waxed strips.  My favorite way to remove hair around the brows!  It's got a couple of hours to go (thanks to my slow internet).

Me showing off my freshly waxed brows... Kinda lame.  I know.

Also, I've gotten new glasses.  Those are the pair I wear more often and then I have another pair I wear just around the house.  Lol.  I've decided to stop wearing contact lenses because they've gotten to where they really bother my eyes, especially when I wear eye makeup (and you know I'm not going to stop wearing eye makeup!).  Glasses are better for your eyes than contacts anyway and I think it was a good decision. :)

And I just haven't been buying makeup lately.  I think I mentioned this in my previous video which was my May Favorites video.  I guess I haven't been wearing it as much since school is out, so I guess I don't feel a need to buy it.  Plus, I do have a lot of makeup that I barely touch.  Don't worry, I'll see some exciting new product or find some new shade of lipstick that I'll just have to try eventually!

Well, that's it for now.

Later!

Out for the Summer!

Hello all!  I know I have been neglecting Blogger and YouTube lately, but as I am sure I have mentioned before.  I have been going through finals week dealing with presentations and exams.  This semester is finally over though and I'll find out what my grades are this evening at 5!

So now that I'm out of school for the summer (this is the first summer in four years I have not taken summer classes), what do I plan to do?

Well, first, I'm definitely getting back into doing more art.  I recently purchased oil paints and I have been experimenting with those because I've always wanted to try oils!  I've also been working on some charcoal drawings.

I'm going to continue selling on eBay.  It's amazing how much stuff around here we don't need and its a good way to get yourself a little money.

I'm going to spend more time with my granny since I now have more time.  She really enjoys my company and I enjoy spending time with her too.  We work on puzzles and go to the park together.

I'm going to get back into an exercise routine!  I know I said that I'd do that over Spring Break and that didn't really happen, well, I have more time now and I've already started on it. Plus, I bought some more exercise clothing.  I don't know about you, but new exercise clothes somehow motivates me to want to exercise...

I'm going to study!  Yes, I said study.  I'm taking a pretty difficult load in the fall and I want to be well prepared.  I'm going to brush up on my math and physics so that I'm ready for my upper levels.  By the way, you may not hear much from me in the fall...

Finally, I want to make more YouTube videos as it is something that I really enjoy to do and will have more time on my hands for!

Well, that's it for now!  I hope everyone else has a wonderful summer and did well on their exams!

Later!
