Around The House Storage Containers

I love taking things around the house that are empty and trying to make containers out of them for little knick knacks that I have. I took a couple pictures of some things I made out of containers, I thought you guys might like to see. So here they are:

This is an Arizona Green Tea Container. When it was empty, i was looking at it, like hmm What Can I Do With This? Well this was the solution..Dog Food! It has a handle, and its pretty big, and the dog food is small so it works perfectly! :)

This is a container I got from Cracker Barrel [Yes, my favorite restaraunt!] It had Double Bubble Gum in it. After the gum was gone, I cleaned out the container and painted the polka dots on it & put a ribbon on the top. I put a cup of rice in the bottom, and stuck my makeup in it. [Eyeliner, Foundation Brush, Lipgloss, ETC. It's a small little container that fits about 10 things in it! I love how this turned out! [You can use any container, just put rice in the bottom so they stay standing up! :)]

One of the cutest ideas ive come across! My moms friend told us about this! Take an empty honey bear, when the honey is gone. Soak it with hot hot water and soap over night and the honey should be out of it. Once its clean, put dishwasher soap in it! Put the lid on, and it has a top to squirt out of! Its so easy and convenient, and so so cute!

There are just three container ideas that I have for now. There will be more later! :) I cant show you all of them at once..Gotta leave some for later & keep you wondering!

******************************************

On a different note, in the previous post where I mentioned Maui Babe AFTER BROWNING LOTION I told you that I had only used it a couple times, and I would update on what I thought about it. Well..I LOVE IT!! Ive never had my skin so soft! Seriously! I use it every time I get out of the shower. I only put it on my legs, arms, and face. Ive used it probably 8 times, because I forget to put it on sometimes, and it is amazing. It lasts a long time, a little bit goes a long way! As far as the Maui Babe Tanning Lotion, I LIKE it, but I dont think i LOVE it. It is very messy. When im at at the beach, I like to read my book and relax, but when I have brown tanning lotion all over my hands, Its really hard because the book will get nasty. I like tanning oil, because I like the look of the oil. So those are my updated thoughts on those two items! :)

Money Saving Tips!

I know we all love spending money! Especially me! Since I'm getting married and moving out in 13 months my fiance and I have to get on the ball with saving money! Here are a few tips we use to help us:

One thing we LOVE to do is go out to eat. Well when I got on the bank account to see how much we were spending a month on going out to eat, I got sick to my stomach. $487 a month! So one thing were not doing anymore is going out to eat. We havent been to a restaurant since then & have only spent $30 on food. [10 days] Thats So good for us! So my number one tip:

Tip #1: Only go out to eat ONCE a week, If that!

Another reason why I like eating at home, as you read before Im counting my calories. Well, one of our absolute favorite places to go eat was Cracker Barrel. I looked online last night to see how much my all time favorite meal was there [Country Fried Steak] 1,760 calories!! & we were going that 2-4 times A WEEK! So, A good thing of staying home, You can eat healthier!

Tip #2: When You Feel Like You Want To Go Out & Eat, Go To the ATM & Take Out $20 & Put It In Savings.

If you do this, you obviously wont be going out to eat but if you take this money out INSTEAD of going out to eat and spending it, you would be so surprised at how fast it add's up! An average price for the two of us to go out to eat, is $30 with tip!

Tip #3: If your in a hurry and need something quickly, like Milk or Tea, Get it at the gas station, instead of the Grocery Store, Walgreens ETC. I read this in the Woman's World. [Love this magazine! Lots of great tips!] It said, Many local gas stations sell milk and other dairy products even cheaper-sometimes half the cost!-The Reason: They draw you in to buy milk, so you'll decide to fill up on gas, a more expensive item, while you're there.

Ok. I dont necessarily agree with this. If I dont need gas, Im not going to get it..But If I am stopping to get gas and need something, instead of going to the store I will get it, but if I do need something little like milk, you better believe i'll go to the gas station, I dont have to fight the crowd, and Im saving money at the same time!

Tip #4: Buy Store Brands

Some people might not agree with me, but store brands are not much,if at all different that name brands. For example, I went to walgreens actually last night, I needed nasal spray, since im sick. I bought the store brand. Why spend $3 more on something thats going to do the same thing, with a different name? Not worth it to me..Same with store brand food, I bought Target cheese the other day, nothing is different, except the price. Now if its only $1 or less difference, I will buy the name brand, but $3-$4, Thats saving you alot if you add that up for every item!

Tip #5: Buy Things In Bulk

I know that you can buy things bigger and more at like Sam's Club, Cosco, but I dont shop there, So if something is BOGO, get it! [If you use that product of course] I know Salad Dressings, Cheese, Crackers, Cereal alot of that stuff goes for BOGO alot. Pay attention and get them on sale!

Tip #6: Dont Buy Things Already Cut Up

I know it's easy to say you dont have time to cut up onions or bell peppers and its easier to buy them cut up. Well, you are paying for other peoples labor to cut them. Buy them whole and cut them up. Same with fruit. Already cut up fruit, is alot more expensive than fruit whole, not cut up! Take it home, and make time to cut it up, it would save you lots of money!

Those are my money saving tips! Hope this helps! If you have any money saving tips you would like for me to share on here or want to let me know, email me at beautyhealthandmore@hotmail.com

Calorie Counting..

So to start this blog..Im just going to say WOW. Calorie counting really opens your eyes..as I was grocery shopping the other day I came across "Boca Original Chik'n "meatless patties" For those of you who dont know, Boca Patties are meatless patties for vegetarions. Obviously I'm NOT a vegetarian, i LOVE my meat. but for a "healthier" option I picked them up. I tried one yesterday and it was delicious!

I dont really like the Boca Burgers because compared to real meat, no.lol Its not even a comparrison [comparison?] IDK! But anyways, I put it in the oven for 15 min [I like it crispy, instead of soggy in the microwave] and put it on a bun with some ketchup and mayo with a slice of cheese and some onion. I HAVE to have onion on my stuff, I absolutely love it! But anyways, It probably wasnt a good idea to put the cheese on it, because when I looked at the package last night, after the fact, they are 60 calories a slice! I could've cut 60 calories out of my lunch just by removing cheese [& i honestly dont even love cheese!] So for lunch yesterday, NOT including the mayo, ketchup, and onion [i dont think onion has calories anyway, i might be wrong] I had 370 calories/ 13g Fat. I guess that isnt terribly bad BUT I could be alot better if I either didnt eat it with a bun, or had a whole wheat one & no cheese!


So starting right now, well this morning, I am counting my calories. Not only because I am getting married in 13 months but because I need to get healthier. I dont want to "lose weight" just got my wedding day. I want to lose weight to get healthy. I dont want to wake up and say "Oh, I need to go to the gym today to lose weight" I want to say "I want to go to the gym today to get healthier!" Thats my goal right now. If anyone reading this has any good tips on working out or staying motivated, please let me know!

I was thinking of maybe taking pictures of abosolutely EVERYTHING I eat, So i know what Im putting in my body, but IDK if you guys would want to see that? Maybe so you guys can know what to do, or what im doing to try and get healthy? It would definately help me out to stay motivated. I remember seeing something on the TV about a guy who took a picture of everything he ate. Then he made a book out of it. I think just doing that and maybe putting them all in a binder would be really cool. Idk. But so far this morning Ive had 480 Calories. [Everything Bagel, Chives Cream Cheese, & 2 cups of coffee] Is 480 calories alot for breakfast? I talked with my DR last week and she told me to stick to a 1,600-1,500 calorie diet. Because if I'm eating 2,000 calories a day and cut it down to even 1,600 thats 400 calories down a day, 2,800 a week! 3,500 calories a pound so if i cut out 2,800 just in cutting back on my eating, that means I only have to lose 700 calories a week! Which isnt bad! So you guys let me know if you have any good tips and if you would like to see pics of what Im eating.

Thanks for reading!

Books

So I had a brilliant idea to put a post about what makes you, you. What clothes you wear, Nail Polish, Hair, Shoes, Makeup ETC. Well when I went to write it on paper, it was fine and I had some ideas but I cant seem to type it and make it sound good. So I guess that idea is down the drain. BOO!

Ive been enjoying the summer. Well I guess its Spring, March 20 started spring? Well since I'm here in FL 75 degrees is hot. Ive been chillin at the beach alot since im not currently working. The water is only 62degrees right now and that is COLD! There were people in the water. IDK how! Its really nice to be able to go and not sit there and sweat. I can go, read a book, and relax! But i do enjoy getting in the water during the summer.

 Oh so, I was going to do a list of my favorite books ive read or am reading. & Im not a reader so they must be pretty good! :D & unfortunately, I have to say, I DO judge a book by its cover. If a cover on a book doesnt look good, I probably wont read it. I dont know why im like that but I always have been. Same with movies! So heres a list of the books I have read/am reading that I like!

Dear John-currently reading

I love this book! Its alittle different than the movie but I love it!

L.A. Candy-Currently Reading

I absolutely adore this book! My friend Eric bought this for me for christmas and I just started reading it. If any of you watch The Hills or like Lauren Conrad, READ THIS BOOK! Its a very easy read. Theres alittle over 300 pages. Its kinda like "behind the scences" of the hills. You wont know what I mean till you read it. So go get it! Its amazing!

The Diary of Anne Frank-read

I read this book in 8th grade because we were going to see the play and my teacher made us. I read it in one day. It was soo good. Your eyes stay glued to the page. it def. keeps you reading to see whats going to happen next. Ive only read this once, but I will be reading it again sometime soon.

All Chicken Soup for The Soul Books

I really like reading these. It isnt all one story. They are all different, written by different people. Some of them long, some short. I suggest reading these if you like short stories about experiences people have had in their lives.

I also really enjoy reading InTouch magazine. I know all the stories arent true but it takes me about an hour to read the whole thing. I like taking them to the beach to give me something to do :) But I dont buy them all the time anymore because they are Very expensive and can add up!!

As Seen On Tv Product Reviews!

Hey Guys! I know we all wonder, Do These Products Really Work? When we see them on TV we never know if they are going to work or not, then we see them in the drugstores and buy them and either love them, or are really disappointed. So in this blog, Im going to tell you what As Seen On Tv products Ive used or an Currently using and like/dislike! And just so everyone knows, these are MY opinions on the products! If you disagree, then thats fine, Im just letting you all know what I think of these products! :)

Kitchen Products

EZ Peel Gloves

$9.95

We bought these gloves hoping that they would work because how easy would this be!? Not having to stand over the sink peeling potatoes? Well, They Dont Work! I was really disappointed. It says you have to boil the potatoes first but on the box it says, do it over running water? They dont work, unless someone else knows a better way to use them? I would not recommend this product.

Ove Glove

$18.95

This Ove Glove does work! The last time I used it I think I remember it getting warm through the glove but not unbarebly hot. I think this is alittle to expensive for 1 glove but this does work. I would recommend this product.

The Magic Bullet

$99.99

I bought this several years ago from Macy's. I had seen it on the tv shows that show you how the products work. I thought it was awesome! I dont have a food processor at home, and it makes salsa really easily, shakes, etc. I brought it home and tried it, read the directions, put it together, and what do you know, It didnt work! I was SO disappointed! It didnt blend the food as easily as they say it does. I wasnt happy with it for $100. If it was $30, yeah I would buy it, but I do not recommend this product for $100.

Gifts/Novelty Products

Aqua Globe

$14.99 for 2

I LOVE this product!! Who in the world wants to water their plants everyday, even that, who remembers to!? Well, my family doesnt. So I bought these Aqua Globes for my mom for christmas one year. She has a plant that needs to be watered all the time. We full up the aqua globe once every 2 weeks and it keeps the plant alive and watered. I love this invention! Whoever thought of this is great! :) I would recommend this product!

Snuggie

$19.95

Blake bought me a snuggie for this past christmas. It really works! How great of an invention was this!? If i'm cold and I want to be typing on the computer, this works! They arent to thick but they still keep you warm. There are many different patterns including, cheetah, blue, pink, much more! Im not to sure of ALL the colors. Just to add, they have PET SNUGGIES now!? I was going to buy them for the dogs but are they really worth it? Do they work? Let me know, if you have one or know someone that does! I would recommend this product.

EZ Combs

$10.00

I absolutely LOVE these! I could go on and on all day about how good these are! $10 for 2! Thats SUCH a great deal! The first package I got, One of them broke, I took it back and returned it, with no problems. I wear them ALL the time. Even if I dont have my hair down, I still wear it with a pony tail. These are great for wearing casual or dressing up! I would definately 100% recommend this product!!

Space Bags

$15.95-$24.95

My mom has these. She said that work and she would recommend them. So I guess thats all there is to say about them. LOL. I would recommend this product.

Strap Perfect

$9.99-$19.99

I like these. I cant say I love them, but these are good to keep your bra straps from falling down. I dont think they make your boobs look bigger, atleast they dont to mine, but if your tired of your bra straps falling down, they are good! I would recommend this product.

Wonder Hangers

$9.95

My mom has these. She likes them and said she would give them a 3/5. DO NOT order them online! When she ordered them online there was no total on the order until AFTER she put in her credit card information. She was charged shipping for EACH box. When she found out this happened, she called and they would only refund the hangers, not the shipping, which costs more than the hangers. They also dont hold as much as they say they do. They dont save much room. They save the room on the top of the shelf but they are all "poofed" out at the bottom so they're still taking up room. I probably wouldnt recommend this product.

Bumpits

$9.99

I do not like these. Not to say that wont work for other peoples hair, but they did not work with mine. Even with the same color ones as my hair, you would still see them. Where your supposed to place them, there isnt enough hair to cover them. They dont stay in place. I would not recommend this product.

Petal Top Nipple Covers

$10.95

Again, My mom has these. I asked her if she would recommend them and she said probably not. She said she only tried them on one time and they didnt work. I dont see a point in covering up your nipples anyways, your boobs are still going to flop..might as well just wear a bra..right? :) I would not recommend this product.

So there you go. My product reviews. Again these are just my opinions on these products. Here is a list of things I want to try, If any of you guys have them, and like/dislike them, leave a comment below and let me know why you like/dislike them and your opinions on them!! :)

Products I want To Try:

*Bottle Top

*The Perfect Brownie

*Big Top Cupcake

*Clever Clasp

*Ped Egg

*Ultra Smooth

*Thigh Toner

*Urine Gone

^^ If any of you have tried these products, please let me know what you think of them!!^

Thanks for reading!!

Maui Babe & Other

This tanning lotion is what I am using right now, since its back in the TANNING SEASON :) [In florida anyways.] I heard about this first from my to-be sister in law and thought she was crazy because its brown..BUT ive always wanted a good tanning lotion/oil. I dont necessarily like the oil feeling because it stays oily but I love the look of oil. I like the lotion feeling because it dries after awhile. With this Maui babe, you can put it OVER spf tanning lotion. The Maui Babe does NOT have SPF in it. I figured that out the first time when I get sunburn :) oops.

The After Browning Lotion is supposed to "seal your tan" Now..I have only been using this a couple times because I just bought it. I put it on after my shower kind of like a moisturizer. I am using it and still peeling, but I was sunburn pretty bad so I dont know if that has anything to do with how bad it was.

Im keeping track of how many uses I get out of it just for further reference. They are both 8oz bottles. I got them Buy One, Get One 50% Off. So I got them both for $19.73. Not Bad! [Plus tax of course] Without the sale it would've been $25.98 [plus tax] So I was happy with that! I will update you all on how many uses I got out of each, when they are gone.

BTW, THIS IS NOT A STAINER!!

I would recommend not buying this on http://www.mauibabe.com/ because i've found its much more expensive! I go to Ulta and get it.

Other Drugstore Tanning Oil Ive Used:

Banana Boat Deep Tanning DRY OIL. I really like this! This is $9.99. I normally wouldnt pay that much for anything like this, but nothing is any cheaper i've found. & I say thats expensive and the other stuff is more, but I wanted to try the Maui Babe and see if it really did work any better. [So far, I havent seen a difference, but Ive only had it a week] & its only $3 more. If it works really well then it will be worth it.

I know this says DRY OIL on it, but since I spray alot on, it isnt dry..and when it dries I just spray more on because its only SPF 4. I cant afford to get sunburn anymore, because then I cant go outside for a couple days!

So that is the best drugstore tanning oil ive found that works best for me. Im still "testing" the Maui Babe but so far so good. Ill keep you all updated!! :)

Beauty Quiz

SKINCARE

How many times do you wash your face daily?

I try and wash my face once daily. Sometimes I get really lazy and lay down and night and dont want to get up. But I Definately wash it in the shower everytime im in there!


What skin type do you have? (dry,oily,combo)
Oily/Dry.

That sounds kind of weird to have oily & dry skin, because they're the exact opposite but thats what I have. When im out in the sun alot or my face is sunburn, I get extremely oily skin! When I get out of the shower and dry my face off, it gets very dry. Also when I put foundation on, it looks really dry too. Ive started using Aveeno Skin Moisturizer on my face when I get out of the shower.

What is your current facial wash?

This is the face scrub im currently using. I love it! Its by Got2B. I actually have several products by them [hair products] that I really like! This face scrub is Apricot Papaya Tea Tree Oil. I think you can get it at any local drugstore. Its got the little "seeds" in it that feel good on your face when you scrub them! Im not sure what they are but it would make sense if they were seeds? IDK. Im sure you know what Im talking about! :)

Do you exfoliate?
Nope, Honestly, I just had to google what the heck that meant..LOL. Maybe I should start..

For those of you who dont know..this is the definition..
Exfoliation is the removal of the oldest dead skin cells that cling to the skin's outermost surface.

^ interesting^


What brand do you use?
I dont exfoliate..but I probably should start..

What moisturizer do you use?
Aveeno Moisturizing Lotion

Do you have freckles?
Yes! I have lots of them on my shoulders/chest. I think they are from the sun? Does the sun cause freckles? I dont have many on my face though, which is good!

Do you use eye cream?


No I dont..

Do you or did you have acne prone skin?


Thankfully, Ive never had acne prone skin [knock on wood] My mom and grandma have really good skin and dont have many pimple or anything. When I do get a pimple, its usually when Im getting ready to start my period.

Did you ever have to use Pro-activ?


No, I have never tried it.

MAKE-UP

What foundation do you use?

I am currently using Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. I really like it. Its easy to apply. I use a sponge.Its really hard to explain what it looks like unless you see it in person..Its not liquid and its not dry..Its like spongy..Its kind of cool though.

How about concealer?


I don't use concealer. I actually just had my mom show me how to use it the other day. [weird, i know] but I never knew how to correctly apply it. I guess it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure it out..but I wanted to do it right..unless I have a pimple I need to cover up, I don't use it.

Do you know your undertone color?

Nope. I never took the time to figure it out..Maybe I should..

Does anyone else know their undertone color?

What do you think of fake eyelashes?


Ive used blue ones a long time ago for a halloween costume, but I dont use them for everyday purposes. They dont stick very good [I dont think] and I like my own eyelashes..

Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?


I do now :)

What brand of mascara do you use?

I am using Sexy Curves right now..I really like it but I dont wear Mascara all the time. & this isnt mine, its my mom's :) Which aparently you arent supposed to share mascara? OOPS.

Sephora or MAC?


Ive never tried Sephora and I only have one thing from MAC and its lipgloss which I LOVE! It was in my drawer for awhile and I just recently found it again and I love it. I highly recommend using it if you like a shiny gloss look!

Do you have a MAC Pro-card?


No

What makeup tools do you use in make up application?
Sponges, Q-Tips, Brushes.

Im very limited with the makeup tools I have. Ive been thinking that when I have the money, I need to start buying brushes and stuff alittle at a time to start a collection..

Does anyone have any favorite brushes that use for certain brands? [Let me know in a comment]
Let me know where you can get it.


Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?

I do use primer on my eyes when I remember. It really does help! It makes your eye shadow not crease. I just found the primer in my Medicine Cabinet one day and started using it. I havent tried any other primer than the one im using now, its alittle cheapy one..Do you guys use eye primer? If so, what kind?? Do you like it, Would you recommend it?


For the face?


Never have, am going to find one and start though..

What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?

I actually love one that I got from Claires in the mall.It is the top one with 10 colors in it. They work really well and for 10 colors it was only around $6! The second one with the 5 colors I actually got from dollar tree for $1!!! [yup THE DOLLAR STORE! Who wouldv'e thought]The brand is L.A. Colors. Its a really bright color panel with different colors in it.I LOVE it! It works SO well!  It is good quality and goes on nice! Its very inexpensive too!

Do you use pencil or liquid eyeliner?

I use pencil. Ive used liquid a couple times and its very hard to use for me and if I do use it, I would only use it on the top lash and not the bottom. I am using this DEFINE-A-LINE by Maybelline and I love it! $6 at Walmart! & for an added bonus, I really like the little sponge at the end just incase I mess up! :)



How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?
Not to much, I try to be very careful


What do you think of pigment eyeshadows?
Ive never used them..


Do you use mineral makeup?


Ive used mineral foundation before and my sister-in-law uses Bare Minerals and she loves it but right now, I cant afford that because its very expensive. & Ive also talked to some ladies at Ulta and they said mineral make-up is mineral makeup theres nothing really to different about it [except price, of course] so ive used maybelline mineral makeup and I like it but never tried the uber expensive kinds!

What is your favorite lipstick?
I dont normally wear lipSTICK, I wear mostly lipgloss..which brings me to our next question.. 


How about lipgloss?


MAC lipgloss

What is your favorite blush to use?
I dont use blush, but ive wanted to start, anyone have an suggestions??


Do you buy your makeup on ebay?


No. Ive looked at buying Bare Minerals online to get it alittle cheaper, but with the cost of shipping, I might as well go buy it in the store. But im not dissing ebay. I like it :) just not for makeup

Do you like drugstore makeup?

Yes actually I do! I buy most of my makeup there. Which might surprise alot of you, but I dont have a ton of money to go and spend on makeup and I think drugstore makeups do the exact same thing as expensive. In my opinion..

Have any of you have a bad experience with drugstore products? Good experience? Where do you buy most of your makeup??

Do you go to CCO's? (cosmetic company outlets)
Never Been.


Did you ever consider taking make-up classes?


Eh. Not so much. I dont really want to learn how to do makeup other peoples way. I like to do it the way I want to :) If people dont like it..oh well..I dont know how to do makeup really good and I really cant do it on other people but Ive been experimenting on myself for different ways to do makeup.

Are you clumsy in putting on makeup?
No. Not really.


Name a makeup crime that you hate?
People who think that can do makeup but cant and put it all over their face..
People who wear bright red lipstick with yellow teeth..EWW.


Do you like colorful shades of makeup (lipstick,eyeshadow) or neutral ones?
It depends on the person I guess..for me, I like darker eyeshadows for me personally, but I like neutral color lipglosses. Im still trying to find a lipgloss/lipstick that is a neutral color that I like..Any suggestions from anyone?


Which celebrity always has great make up?
I dont really pay attention to celebrity makeup..Maybe I should start?


If you could leave the house using just ONE make up item, what would you use?
Eyeliner!


Could you ever leave the house without any makeup on?


Yes, I do it all the time. But I just feel better with makeup on..even with just eyeliner so I try to put it on.

Do you think you look good even without any makeup on?
Idk, you tell me..


In your opinion, what is the BEST makeup line?


Idk, I guess I have mentioned Maybelline alot on here..but I just use what is on sale or what I like best at the time.

What do you think of Makeup??
I like it but I dont obsess over it. :)


I got this survey from Elle Fowler. Thanks Elle.

Hello To All!

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to first off all say, Thank You So Much for reading! I wanted to start this blog because I am extremely interested in Beauty Tips, Things that people like/dislike about makeup or really anything they've tried. I love to be creative. People tell me I am, and I try to be but I dont want to be a snob and say "Oh Yea! Im So Creative!" So..I just go by what people say. I thoroughly enjoy crafts, cooking, baking, looking up "natural" ways of doing things.  Natural Makeup tips, Natural ways up removing pimples, stuff like that. I have an AMAZING book that I will be mentioning in the posts to come soon that describes ways to get rid of acne [naturally, of course] and just so many things, i cant even name them all. Im only half way through the book. Its SO good!

My posts are going to be completely random as well. I am starting to jot [i think thats the right way of using it? JOT like jotting down notes? idk (:] down notes of ideas that I want to put on here. Ive got things that I want to post about my juicer & things I make, Foundation I use [likes/dislikes] healthy snacks, and tanning oil I absolutely adore (:

I am not doing this blog to become "popular" but Ive been watching alot of videos on Youtube that I love and they are all about their lives and really have gotten me in the mood to start doing this. I know some people arent going to read it all the time, but its not just ME thats going to be blogging, I really want your guys' feedback on my posts. Example: If Im talking about my favorite or least favorite foundation Ive used, I want your guy's feedback on If you've used it, If you like it, what you use that you like/dislike. I want it to be kind of like a back and forth thing? IDK?

My first goal is to get 100 people following me. There is going to be a "FOLLOW" button on the Right hand side of this blog. Please if you would, FOLLOW ME! You do not  have to be a Blogspot member you can sign in with a Google, Twitter, Yahoo, Aim account..[who doesnt have atleast one of those!?]I think theres a way to do it if you dont have those but im not to sure. You can also put your picture up if you'd like (:

Also, tell your friends about this if they are into makeup, health, and "more" There will be crafts and things I do on here also. If that doesnt interest you, and you have an idea of something you want to see, email me at beautyhealthandmore@hotmail.com

Alittle about me:

I am 19 years old. I am engaged to a wonderful man, Blake. We have been together since October 20, 2005. We are getting married May 28, 2011. We are both living at my house with my mom.
