Living with lupus

I started writing something not sure what it will turn into. It's better to live with no expectation it's the best way to avoid disappointment.
I have been dealing all my life with hip and back pain but about 3 years ago I just kept getting sick. last year I finally got a diagnoses of lupus it's not what I expected.
So between the meds and overwhelming exhaustion I wanted to remind myself all the life events I was dealing with also my symptoms. Seriously the most important thing to me is that my family knows I love them and wanted to make sure they knew everyday is a great gift given to me.
I am a goofy, fun, loving life, girlie girl so lupus has put a major bump in my journey down the road of life.

Life is one big kick in the rear

I haven't had much time to really sit down and write about anything. So here I go - blah blah blah !

Seriously I have some great news Daniel & I finally got married !! After 15 years we both decided it was time. I was starting to get a little nervous that we would never do it. We both decided we wanted a very small wedding it was only Daniel & I the 3 boys and a wonderful JP. I kissed him 3 times before we said our I do's the excitement was over whelming absolutely perfect.

I have so many products I've played with since my last blog post. As much as I love watching unboxing vlogs and reading what people have received I wanna know if it works or worth the
Money.

So most of you know I've been dealing with lupus & many other health issues. I have good days and horrible days. I pray every night that the next day will be a great day. So with all of that said lets talk about what makes every woman glow with joy - a new purchase, the perfect shade of lipstick and our secrets of staying youthful and beautiful :)

Wednesday project

I have been lazy, busy, happy, confused !! I have so much to share with everybody it took me a few minutes, hours, days to get organized so first thing is a project I'm working on. If you don't know I love getting in over my head with the wildest ideas. So this one started as a old cheap chandelier I picked out of a neighbors trash I can't stand seeing good stuff go to land fills - I'm not a hoarder but I have a vision for recycling. My first thought was paint add some color but DIY websites and my inability of simplicity I couldn't stop there. http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2010/05/make-a-beaded-chandelier/ I'm incorporating a lil of the beads & some fun spray paint !! This is beginning of a great project as soon as I get to computer I'll post pics

It's a absolutely beautiful Texas weekend ! Getting a lil stressed can't find my car keys it's been couple days since I've last had them. So instead of cooking and relaxing I'm on the great search - BIG TIME BUMMER !!

Hello Wednesday !

Nars is giving away free samples on Facebook

shopaholic !! I think so

I will honestly admit I am hands down a amazingly undoubtedly have the ability to justify any purchase I make shopaholic !! also very proud of it

I could blame it on my ADD or my OCD I wont because its another issue I truly believe its called {spoiled rotten brat syndrome} I've had it since I was a child and don't think they have a cure for it.
It's the thrill of the deal that gets my heart racing, my eyes sparkle and sadly my credit card worn out way before expiration date.  I will buy it if it sparkles or promises to keep me looking young.

I have lots of new businesses, products, ideas and results to share. I started this blog because I often get asked about my makeup, clothes, purses, shoes, and my home projects. I really enjoy reading opinions of others and thought I would give it a try.
Just in the last few weeks of researching if this was something I wanted to donate my time to I have already met so many amazing business women. Ladies who have spent a majority of time at home and feel the need to express yourself on a new level. I was so inspired with how many our on the Internet I felt the need to share.
So with all that said I'm very excited to start ! I need a tool box for this job and I think I found the perfect one because with organization comes greatness !!! I'm going to be purchasing 6 drawer hopefully Saturday.

Best price for 18-Inch 2-Drawer Heavy Duty Metal Box is online $90.44 before tax & shipping even after shipping still beats Sears price $113.05 at http://www.roughsupplies.com/4546_page_782214.htm
Sears is $181.68 before tax & shipping 

The Original Pink Box 26" 6-Drawer Roll Away
On sale right now at Sears for $341.99
This is something I wouldn't wanna pay crazy shipping costs.

Here is a great way to get rid of items you may not like or use http://www.listia.com/?r=1227860 it's based on a point system the more you use it the more you can earn. They have web page + iPhone app that comes in handy if you are out running around and don't want to miss a auction ending. I prefer free shipping but not all of them have it usually very small amount. I just won a great new Avon auction 123 credits + $1.75 shipping so as soon as I receive I will tell you more. Post a pic this after noon ;) hint I love green nail polish !

Monday why do we hate you ?

Monday's are almost cursed before the morning alarm clock goes off most of us have a reason to hit the snooze button till Tuesday. Yup it's Monday when my youngest son remembers his sneakers are covered in mud 2 minutes before bus is here. My husband forgot his wallet at home and I was some how able to leave house in 6 minutes WOW !! Finally it's 1pm and I think I can get my work done. NOPE txt just came in from oldest he needs gym clothes. I truly love my life and being a stay at home mom (domestic prostitute) as I was jokingly informed by my loving husband. I've compared my daily schedule to a lab rat running around franticly from one room to the next searching for that perfect golden piece of cheese only to stop when hearing a bell. Only difference is my perfect golden cheese is a tidy house or a small portion of sanity.

Beauty sample subscriptions are becoming very popular. The idea of try before you buy is addicting. Also haul videos but my only complaint with that is 1. Great you got something you dont know how to pronounce company or product BUT SO EXCITED !! When a teenage gets wrinkle cream and says oh I've always wanted this!! REALLY ALWAYS.. Another one that gets me is when a lady will try to explain a smell of cream, perfume, even eye serum be HONEST IF IT SMELLS BAD!!

Time just gets away from me !

I didn't know what I wanted to really blog about but after much requests - I will just babble about all the craziness in my life im married with 3 teenage sons. Also focusing on reviews of my compulsive shopping issues :) I have a love of makeup like most women but I always have been a lil bit crazier than most ! I'm bluntly honest so if you don't like my opinions oh well SORRY !! I will also be doing YouTube videos on some products :)
