Beauti Control_November Specials


November.....where the heck did the year go!?!?!?  Check out some great Beauti Control specials for the month of November! 

November's Beauti Pick:

Warming Trend Green Tea Masque - 20% off $24.00 sale $19.00


I love this product.  I use it for my "busy woman facial" in the mornings.  What is a busy woman facial?  You take your cleanser (to clean your face) then the Green Tea Masque (to get your masque in for the day) and the Skinlogic Facial Scrub (to exfoliate).....it's great and takes 2 seconds!!  Learn more about the Warming Trend Green Tea Masque here!  

Other products that are on sale this month include the Herbal Serenity Set (the scent is so fresh and clean).  You will receive 10% off the whole set or you are able to buy each of them individually.  Same thing applies with the Margarita Set and yes it smells like margaritas!!  Check them all out here!! 

Family Pictures

Boy, can you tell someone is avoiding a retarded project at work!?!?!?

So in a few weeks we are getting our family pictures taken with my Grandma.  Here's what we're thinking of wearing.....

Grandpa & My Dad in a Black button up
Brian & Matt in a Brown button up
Me, Mom & Emma in (one of each) dark purple, red, orange, teal ..... yea know Fall colors.  =)
Brody in an off white sweater with a brown stripe across it

So the Question is: do you think Brody will be too light against all of us?? 

This, That and The Other

Confessions:

I confess that I think I really do want this for Christmas......I know (Matt Blind) I never cook nor do we ever have meatloaf, but we have so much deer burger and there are so many options because it comes with a cook book!!  I'm adding it to my list!!

I confess that after Brody goes to bed and I do my F'n burpees all I want to do is EAT......I've already had supper, I'm not hungry, I'm just bored and think I should eat!  I was really wanting a taco last night at 10:00 pm.....Maybe I should just start brushing my teeth and putting my whitening trays in at 9:00 pm - that will keep me from eating.

I confess that Holidays are a pure pain in my ass....hence why we went to Tennessee last year for Christmas!  Everyone wants us to be at their gathering and if we're not feelings are hurt and attitudes flare.....After Brody was born we decided that if you want to see us on Christmas Day then you are more than welcome to come over, because we're not leaving!  I mean did YOU want to leave your new toys you just got on Christmas!?!?!?   I sure the hell didn't so that's why I'm not making Brody.


This, That and The Other:



Dog for Adoption!!!
  • (Doesn't she look just like my Zoe when she was a baby!?!?!)  One of my friends is fostering her so she's up for adoption!!  Her name is Gretta! She is a 4 year old beagle and 20 lbs. 
  • Our 5 year anniversary was last Friday and Matt and I agreed on no card or gift this year.  He broke the rules and got me an iphone and I stuck to our agreement.....does that make me a bad wife?!?!
  • My hubby has a blog!!!  Go check him out over at Do What You Can Afford  
  • (this little f'er won't delete.....)  
  • Crazy 8 opens this weekend at the Mill's!!!  YAY!!  I got a $10 off $30 coupon I can forward to someone if your going to head out that way (blc I'm not).  I love Crazy 8.....now there just needs to be one in South County Mall!!  
  • On my "task list" today is going to be to print off some of my Pinterest recipes and make something new this weekend!! Wish me luck....I'm thinking about this or this!!   Any one make either one??

Hair

UGH....my appt is next week and I don't know what to do!  Give me opinions ladies....It'll def stay on the dark side, but what about a cut!!

Here's how I'm thinking about cutting it:


But then I'm also thinking.....it's finally growing and once it was this long:


oh my look how light it was....and to think it was even LIGHTER in HS
So, here's my pros and cons:

Cutting it:
Pros
  1. less shampoo, less money....lol not really
  2. super easy to fix and it looks and stays fixed
  3. I feel like I have a style
Cons
  1. nervous about my chubby face
  2. nervous it makes me look like a 30 yr old mom.....
Let it grow:
Pros
  1. it might make me look younger
  2. easy to throw up in a pony
  3. lots of options to fix it
  4. my husband wants me to
Cons
  1. I'm lazy when my hair is long.....I wash it dry it then pony tail it-boring
  2. I NEVER do Pro #3 it always just hangs

Halloween 3 of 3


Ahhhh, the celebrations are over!  What a long few days!  When we asked Brody if he wanted to put his costume on (for like the 5th time in 2 days) he said "no" - can't say I blame him! We don't live on a busy Halloween night street, but we turned our light on anyways!  After like maybe 3 kids we decided to take Brody out.  We went to a few houses down our street then after we saw how much fun he was having we continued to walk!  He was jumping down the street and every house that had a dog he was in seventh heaven!  He couldn't say "trick or treat" so we had him say "please"..... after they loaded his bucket he said "bye bye" and even blew some of them a kiss....boy oh boy did that ever make some neighbors' night.  After he did that to one house they were like "oh here take some more candy....you're just too cute"  One house we went up to after he knocked he turned to us and said "I peed"  Bahahahaha  Seriously this kid never fails to make me laugh.  Our last house had a baby ..... and when we left (I'm not kidding) he said "peace out baby"   I didn't to take any pictures because lord knows I have plenty of him in his costume.....so in case you have missed them (not sure how you could) here they are:
