Carrie Underwood - Lessons Learned

"And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, And everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,Every change, life has thrown me,I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned,Some bridges burned,But there were lessons learned."
QUOTE
People are often unreasonable and self-centered.Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people will accuse you of ulterior motives.Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous.Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.It never was between you and them anyway.

Max Factor Pan-Stik Makeup

I recently read some great reviews of Max Factor's Pan-Stik makeup. As for my personal review, I LOVE it! I'm sure it will be my new makeup must-have!

I use it primarily as a concealer but if my face is really uneven, I'll use it all over. I apply it as concealer using a concealer brush made by mark. cosmetics and I use it all over just using my fingers.

Sooooo.... The fiance and I are going on a date tonight :)

{I really need to find better lighting for my webcam}

So, I bought sample sizes of the Herbal Essences Body Envy shampoo & conditioner and I love it!

I thought that the conditioner would be too light to even effect my hair [since my hair is curly/frizzy/course] but my hair felt super soft and lightweight. I definitely recommend it! My hair is much more "flowy" and not so stick staight after flat ironing it. :) [as seen here]

Hope you're having a great weekend loves!

Baking soda for oily skin?

I learned from Glamorouxx how to create a facial mask using baking soda and water. So last night, I mixed myself a little concoction of it and I must say I was very pleased with the results! It did sting in some areas of my face but after I washed it off, my skin felt very clean and smooth. Baking soda has antibacterial properties that can help oily, acne prone skin.

You can learn about more ways to use baking soda here on the Arm & Hammer website.

*Remember! It's baking SODA [not baking powder] and this treatment can be very drying to you HAVE to use a good moisturizer afterwards!

I want big hair.

I'm a Dallas girl... so of course this is what I want!

I have naturally big, curly hair but when I straighten it, it likes to do this:

but I crave this:

My Interview

Well, here is the winning outfit for today's interview. I shopped for 2 days to find this! lol It was intense...

Sorry about the messy living room in the background! lol

I got the skirt from NY&Co for $40 and the shirt from Ross for $8. I wore brown 1-2" heels [not pictured because we took this when I came home from the interview and my feet were hurting so I took them off lol]

I must say I loved my outfit! I was very pleased with the outcome. :)

Soooooooo... about the interview:

It was much tougher than I expected! There were some questions that I didn't quite know how to answer but the people interviewing me were very positive and friendly. I think it went good but I can't say "Oh I know I got this job!" lol Simply put, I have no idea what they'll decide. lol

Here's my opinion:

If I get this job, then fantastic! I can't wait to start learning and working. I am excited to be able to help others and learn more about the profession I've chosen.

If I don't get this job, then it only means that God has something better for me, something that must be better suited to my needs. I believe that God knows best and he will take care of me.

We'll find out Monday!

I've got a job interview!!

I am so excited because I finally have a job interview for a position I've been trying to get all summer! I am SO nervous and a little freaked out because I've never interviewed for a "real" job. I mean, this is a job that requires a bachelor's degree so it's not your average part-time job interview.

Now, my new dilemma: What to wear?? I would really prefer to wear a skirt rather than a pant suit. I've heard a study on the subject of interview attire which found that women who wore [tasteful] skirts received more job offers compared to those who wore pants.

I want to look reserved and professional but I also want to show a little bit of personality. I've googled interview attire and it's all the same. Every woman looks so "stuffy" and boring yet when I go into stores like NY&Co, it's professional yet stylish clothing. Any advice??

*I'd love links to actual photos!!

Why did I not think of this before??

Ok, so how many of you (including myself) are guilty of going to bed without washing your face? I know there are times when I am just so tired all I want to do is go to bed. I don't feel like standing over the sink to wash my face, apply moisturizer, etc [whatever your skin routine involves] so guess what? I don't. I really do try to wash my face EVERY NIGHT but sometimes I just say "screw it."

Well... I was watching some Youtube videos [I was bored] and this young woman shared a tip that made me wanna just knock myself in the forehead! lol She says that you should keep cleansing cloths [such as Olay] by your bedside so when you get in bed before thinking about washing your face, you can just grab one and wipe your face! How easy is that! I am so gonna go buy some today.

I can't believe I didn't think of that before... Do any of you use this little trick?

For all skin types: Olay Daily Facials Express

For a more "luminous" result: Olay Definity Illuminating Makeup Removing Cloths

I am sure that almost every skin care brand has their own type of cleansing cloths... So you can pick the one that's best for you. I just used Olay as an example.

*Make sure that the towelettes/cleansing cloths you purchase are already WET! I know some of them come dry and you just wet it yourself & that would defeat the purpose of keeping them bedside lol*

I also wanted to give credit where credit is due! I got this tip from Alba Mayo on Youtube.
