Ipsy Glam Bag June 2016

I wrote this post several days ago and cannot believe that I completely forgot to post it!  I have been wearing all of these products and have been really enjoying them!  This was a great bunch of samples this month!

It’s that time of the month again!  No, not that time of the month, but the time to receive another ipsy glam bag!  I feel as if the time flies in between the time that I get each bag!  This month’s theme is “Rebel Rebel”  While I am many things, a “rebel” definitley doesn’t describe me, haha.

While I am super excited about all the thing I received in the glam bag, I am not a huge fan of the style of this month”s glam bag.  It looks like it has graffiti all over it with words like ipsy, style, and makeup.  I like the colors, but it is just not my style.  It also has the zipper along the front, another thing I am not fond of. I’ll be passing this one along to my daughter, she’ll be thrilled!

ColourPop Cosmetics Crème Gel Liner in Get Paid or Swerve

This is my first ColorPop eyeliner.  I got the color Swerve which is a rich onyx black.  So far I like it.  I always prefer a twist up liner to one that needs to be sharpened, so that alone gives it extra points.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Fireball or Lounge

  • Fireball is a peachy-gold shimmer shade that transitions to pink tones.
  • Lounge is a decadent reddish-brown topped with teal-green shimmer.

When I saw the shades they were going to be sending I was really hoping that I would get Fireball, while Lounge is a beautiful shade I already own it.  I was so excited to receive Fireball! This beautiful pinky peach goldy shadow is gorgeous!  I cannot even explain to you how beautiful it is.  No swatch picture can do it justice! Since it changes with motion in different light, a regular photo can’t capture that.  You’re going to have to trust me on this one.  The sample size is quite small, only 0.03 oz, I don’t even care, I just love the shade so much.  It is almost exactly the size of a penny.  I think that when I am finished with this sample I may purchase the single shadow.

Seraphine Botanicals Happy Hibiscus Blush

 And every product they put out is made with small-batch love and free of all the bad stuff. 100% cruelty-free. Gluten-free. Preservative-free. No harsh chemicals or dyes. Vegan. Sustainably sourced. Organic. Never tested on animals.
While in this photo it looks more brown, this blush is actually a beautiful deep coral shade.  It is perfect for the summer and looks beautiful on the skin.

Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray

  • Hydrolyzed silk and Provitamin B5 add moisture and shine
  • Powerful UV Protectors absorb ultraviolet light. That means no color-fade
  • Works on even the straightest (and waviest) hair

My hair is perfectly straight and that is all it ever does or wants to do.  This Beach Spray smells amazingly delicious, but it is not something that I will ever use.  I am going to be passing it along to my sister.  She has beautiful wavy hair, and I know that she will get a lot more use out of it than I ever would.

Japonesque Solid Brush Cleanser

Major makeup calls for serious removal. This is a gentle cleansing balm that dissolves away residue and leaves brushes silky soft. Mess-free. Simply dip a brush into the balm and wash the grime away.  Goat milk conditions and keeps brushes looking like new. it has a really nice refreshing scent.

I actually haven’t used this yet.  It does smell awesome, but I just haven’t taken the time yet to figure out exactly quite how to use it.

Fitness Isn’t A Punishment

Every Monday I post a “No Gym? No problem!” workout, and every week I say:

“Take 15-30 minutes and improve your day! Your heath and wellness is worth it!”

I really believe that!  I believe that your health and wellness are worth the time and effort it takes to eat healthy and exercise.  Fitness is not a punishment!  Skinny is not always “healthy”  Healthy for some might be being thinner, while others look a different way.

No matter what your healthy looks like it is worth fighting for!

Make up

I Need Your Help!

Ok my makeup loving friends, I need your help!

As you may remember, I have been on a strict no buy for a while now.  Reason being, my makeup collection was getting out of hand (is that even possible?) I was getting overwhelmed by all the wonder products that I have and yet never use.  So many things get lost in the shuffle do to “out of sight, out of mind.”

Here is where I need your help…I need suggestions of makeup storage organizers.  I don’t want something bulky that is going to take up a ton of room.  I want something sleek and stylish, yet functional and manageable.  If you have something that you store your makeup in that works well for you, I would love to hear about it!  Links are welcomed and encouraged!

Love and Life

Saying Goodbye…

Goodbyes are never easy…

I’ve been working at the Infusion Center for about 8 months now.  In these last 8 months I have learned so much and stretched myself further than I have in a long time.  I have faced some new fears (performing a therapeutic phlebotomy) and overcome some old fears (Am I going to remember how to be a nurse after taking an 8 1/2 year maternity leave?!). I have gotten to know some really awesome coworkers and met some great patients and their family members.

Overall the last 8 months have been enjoyable and a great learning experience for me.

For eight years, in the happiness and business of being a stay at home mom, I had almost forgotten what it is like to get attached to a terminally ill person…almost…

This past week was not an easy week at work. Even as I am writing this I can feel the pang of pain in my chest and my eyes getting teary. I had to say goodbye to a special patient.  He and his family had to make the tough decision to discontinue treatments and go on Hospice.

Mr. D* will always have a special place in my heart.  Like me he has a French last name, like me he also likes to talk a lot,  like me he often smiles even when things are not going his way…  After heading back to work after 8 1/2 years, he was the first IV stick I missed and subsequently so, the first IV I successfully started (he graciously let me try again for a second attempt.)  Something about that first little victory together made us fast friends.  Whenever he came in to get treatments, whether I was his nurse for the day or not, I always made sure I went and talked with him.

On Monday after he finished his infusion before leaving as he always does, he came over to say goodbye to me.  He told me that he wouldn’t be coming for treatments anymore and that they had decided to start Hospice care.  I wasn’t expecting to hear that and was caught off guard by his decision.  While I can usually keep it together, I had a very hard time holding my tears back.

I only hope that I am making as big of an impact on my patient’s lives as they are making on me!
