Dog Farts.

What is Shane Playing Tonight?!

A whole lot of nothing. I sent that kid on a Wal-mart run. 

; )

Alright, so get ready for this. 

 I have a  new man on my life. 

Yeah. . Mind blown, right?!

Let me tell you, He is a hunk. 

He loves to snuggle and he is such a smoocher. 

His name is Mickey, has some gorgeous dark hair, and is alllll muscle. 

And the best part of the whole thing, Shane is totally down with him. 

Totally hit the jackpot, right?!

Okay. So if you haven't already guessed this new man of mine has four legs and is currently sitting on my lap panting away. I have been tossing around the idea of getting a dog for a while, I have done some research on animals and depression, which is something that I have struggled with as you guys know, so I thought I would see if a four legged friend would maybe help me out. Through a weird serious of events, Shane and I kind of ended up with a 3 year old English Bulldog. He is such a lovable old oalf. For example, this guy is currently sleeping with his butt up in the air and his head ostriching the couch. . I kind of love him : )

Pictures tomorrow possibly?!

Youtube is Hard!!!

What is Shane playing tonight?!

More friggen Madden.

Uggh. 

Alrighty guys, I am wicked bummed. I was so psyched to post my video for you all and to get my co-hosting on but unfortunately my camera chose to through a hissy fit. We got our house all clean, a little filming spot all set up, a fully charged camera and now the damn thing won't focus! I pretty sure we did about thirty takes and none of them are actually focused on our face :(

Needless to say I am a sad panda tonight. 

Also, word to the wise, falling in the sand at the beach with your camera to catch your fall is probably not a good life choice. . All I hear now are little crunches :(( 

We are planning on having another video shot by next weekend. We will be down with our families for some pre-holiday celebrating and hopefully I can sweet talk my lovely mother into letting me "borrow" her camera. .Although I thinking that may require a bribe or two!

loveeeeya.

Drum Roll Please!!!

What is Shane Playing Tonight?!

Believe it  or not, we are actually watching other people play video games. . 

You guys should check out the Angry Video Game Nerd on YouTube. 

He is pretty awesome.

(And that is coming from someone that doesn't know whole lot about video games!)

OKAY!

Ready for happy news?!

(Or at least happy for me?! And possibly you know that I think about it?!)

It is nothing major but I have actually decided to give the whole Co-host aspect of this blog a shot :)

Meaning over the next week, I am planning on filming a short little something something to post up here and maybe even on youtube! Who knows what it will be about or even how long it will be but I am excited. I mean, I spend so much friggen time watching Youtube videos of all of these awesome girls creating things, trying all of these different looks, and hauling all of these cute clothes that I finally have decided to give it a real shot. I hope you guys peek back in to see what I come up with! I am thinking Sunday night. . Don't make any plans, yo. 

Just kidding. .

But seriously come watch ; )

love your stinkin faces. 

Bugging Out. .

What is Shane playing tonight?!

Nothing!!

(Pretty sure that is only because he is currently in the shower : ))

Eating healthy stinks. .

But being unhealthy sucks too.

There lies my struggle

Ugghh. 

Like I mentioned before, I am very much a believer of accepting yourself the way that you were made and it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as you are happy with you. . And right now I am trying to get happy with myself again. I still am working on taking that extra bit of pride in the way that I look and dress but I have decided that I want to take it a step further. I am trying to get into a healthier way of eating than I have had over the last few years. 

I am not sure if it is because that I am starting to notice my loved ones getting older and struggling with their health or just the way that I have been physically feeling lately but I realized that getting healthy is something that I am wanting to focus on lately. 

However, it has been a slow start. 

The one thing that I managed not to screwed up was cutting out soda, which I am proud of because I was a HUGE Pepsi drinker. Up until I stopped drinking it, I was up to about two cans a day. I mean every once in a while a ice cold glass is amazing but I had gotten to the point where I didn't even enjoy it anymore. And as much as I want a glass right now, I am glad that I haven't had any all week! I have the hardest time sticking to things, no matter what it is, so this as lame as this little baby step may seem, I feel pretty dang good about it : ) 

The other thing that I think I struggle with (besides having any semblance of willpower) is not having enough knowledge. There are so many websites and pins to follow about weight loss and getting healthy that it is almost overwhelming. I think that it tends to make me a little over ambitious with what to try and what to eat. You get all these good idea and see all of these good recipes but by the time that you spend all the money to try them, it is hard not to get discouraged when they aren't what was expected. . Does anybody else get stuck in this rut or is it just me?!

Well enough of my rambling. . I am getting sleep and am probably going to round up something healthy to munch on before bed. If anyone has any good tips or info. .  please share!! Plus encouragement is always welcome!!

Peace. yo.

And I failed again.

Confession Time. 

I succccckkk at blogging. 

(As if you couldn't tell.) 

I do miss it though. . A lot. 

I just feel with all of the chaos that has happened in the month, stuff that I have enjoyed and taking that extra few minutes to do something for myself like this blog, has totally fallen by the wayside. I need to get back into the habit of taking care of me. . . Getting back to a normal sleeping habit, spending some time readying and getting back to exercise. . . P.S. I hate dieting. . I have gone two days without soda and I am about ready to punch someone. . Anways, like I said before I can't make any promises about regular weekly posts but please don't forget about me and I promise I won't forget about you guys!!

If you can't tell. . I have no sense of fashion : /

Madden aggggaaaainnnnnn. 

And here you guys thought I was kidding about being a "Madden Widow".

Pfffft. ;)

Since moving down to Coos Bay and finally getting a grown  up job, I have been trying to spend more time working on myself, specifically getting ready in the morning and doing my makeup. But because I don't know anyone down here, I have pretty much had to rely on Youtube for advice and ideas, which isn't as bad as it sounds actually.I have found a few girls that I love and who do some pretty amazing tutorials for make up. (Especially the Vintage Or Tacky channel. . AMAZING.) 

Can I rock this?! And don't even get me
started on contouring. 

I have tried few out and found some looks that I love but then there are few that I am on the fence about. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone down here to serve to help pass judgement on how the look turns out. Shane, and I say this with as much as I can muster, kind of fails in this department. When I ask him about a certain look or outfit, he typically replies with a sweet but utterly unhelpful. " I think you are beautiful in whatever makes you feel good/no matter what." Trust me, it is definitely a self confidence boost but not what I am going for when I am trying to decide how I want to shape my eyebrows or trying out new eye shadow.

Right now,there are a few different looks that I have noticed are starting to pop up and I really would love to try them out but I have no idea if I can rock them! Or even how to rock them! If any of you guys out there have experience with some of the new fashion trends,(Specifically the dark lip colors!) advice would be greatly appreciated!!

What happens when Two Chainz wears three chains?!

What is Shane Playing Tonight?!!

MADDEN.

Get used to it folks, it is going to be a long ride. 

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT TONIGHT'S POST.

Please forgive the lack of touch ups to the photos and my bright orange pajamas : )

  My lovely youngest sister was kind enough to get me a  $20 gift card to Joann's for my birthday and I finally made up my mind on what I wanted to do with it this weekend. ( And let me just say how hard it is to only spend twenty bucks in that place. Damn near impossible, especially when you have a Pinterest addication :) )

 

This one is one of my favorites. I found
her on that That Dank Wench. The fashion
on her page is AMAZING. Check her out!

   Lately, I have been really into the adorable head chains that are popping up all over Pinterest but I haven't seen them much in stores. . Mind you, I live in a town that the mall houses a major department store in an area slightly bigger than my apartment. I did my best to search online but so much of the summer fashion is floral and floral crowns, which are equally adorable but just not what I was looking for, and the ones that I did find were a bit on the spendy side. 

So after an hour of two of shopping and another hour on Pinterest, I decided that I was going to make my own. Weirdly enough, I didn't find too many tutorials for these on the internet but I figured that it couldn't be too hard and gave it shot!

This is how mine turned out!! I just got some simple chain from Joann's. (Thank you, Syd :D ) I friggen love them. I actually made two other ones but I couldn't find them when I was posting this. They were really easy to make and I like that they are so easy to customize. I already have ideas for a few more that I am going to make for myself and a few friends. A friend suggested that I post them on Etsy, what you guys think? Would any of you be interested in one if I listed a few?! Let me know!! I am thinking about posting a tutorial on how to make these bad boys sometime in the future too!

Love all of your stinkin faces : )
