    No Buy in June AND July

    06/03/2014 /

    WHAT IS A NO BUY? I’ve had about a million people ask me this. A “No Buy” is basically where you do not buy ANYTHING extra. You can choose your own way to do it, but usually it means you buy nothing but food/gas/other necessary things. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS? We have racked up some debt! From our wedding to our trip to London and some random splurges in between…we know we need to lower our debt to income ratio. It’s a very simple concept that has proven to be effective for many people. In fact, I did it a few times within the last few years and was…

    Review: Sally Hansen Brush-On Hair Remover

    04/18/2014 /

    On the left in these pictures, you see a picture I posted on my last blog of some hair removal tools. I LOVE the Sally Hansen Spray-On Remover and the Twinkle Razors, but the Sally Hansen Brush-On Hair Remover is absolute CRAP. On the right you see my picture. It wasn’t taken immediately after the burn (my bad,) but it was taken 4-5 days later. You can still see the redness around my cupid’s bow and the dimple there. The lines on the side are raised way more than normal due to the chemical burning. Please read below for more details on the product in my review. What I Liked:…

    Spray Tanning Tips for the Plus Size Gal

    04/17/2014 /

    Both pictures include VERY minimal amounts of the SAME makeup. Both pictures were taken in the SAME spot, same lighting, same time 1 day apart. I got lash extensions too, more to come on that soon! I had my first spray tan experience yesterday! I really wanted to see if I liked the color and whatnot for the wedding (in 30 days!) and for the summer in general since I totally burn and never turn a pretty bronze color. I did my fair share of research and am going to share my “wisdom” with you with regards to big girls getting spray-tanned! I found that I needed to prepare physically…

    Neutral Mac Eyeshadow Palette

    04/08/2014 /

      Woo-hoo for completed MAC palettes! I can honestly say I had never really cared to do this before, but lately I have had a really specific look I have wanted and building my own palette has helped me to be able to control the shadows I look at more consistently instead of grabbing from this one and that one all the time. All the eye shadows listed from L-R starting from the top row: Satin Taupe, Sable, Patina, Naked Lunch, Nylon Mystery, Kid, Soft Brown, Cork, Sketch Coppering, Amber Lights, All That Glitters, Barefoot, Jaunty There are a few I would like to move to a different palette and…
