I ran out of Bare Minerals bronzer yesterday and I can’t live without a bronzer. However, I am looking to save some cash so while I was at Target this morning I found some drug store makeup. It was a toss up between Maybelline MIneral Power bronzers and Physician’s Formula bronzer. Maybelline did not specify that it was 100% natural but when I looked at the Physician’s Formula, it clearly stated it was 100% natural. I was so pumped! For $12.39 I got the bronzer and it came with a bonus pressed poweder! It was super exciting because I usually use Mac powder which I wasn’t really fond of because it is very comedogenic. It is no good for your skin at al, not to mention expensive. So I would have normally spent around $40.00 for those 2 itens total. Today I walked away with a GREAT buy, 2 ALL NATURAL priducts for $12.39. YAY. It’s my lucky day!!! PS In the skin care isle at Target a noticed they sell a TON of Burt’s Bees products now! I am super excited because that’s what we use on our little lady for her bath and now we use the shampoo, body wash, and lotions. I love it! Soon we will be using the hand soap, I didn’t get a chance to look and see if Target sold it. I have only seen it in small little boutiques not too close to my house.

My daughter has been taking 1 nap per day now and I just got used to it. She goes down anywhere between 1 and 2 PM and wakes up anywhere between 3:30 and 4:30 PM. Today however she was a bit cranky so I put her down around 11 AM to see if she would go to sleep. It’s now 11:30 AM and I think she is finally sleeping. Who knows maybe I will get the good old 2 naps in today. (Doubtful but one can dream). I really was getting to like the 1 nap per day because it let us go out and about in the morning then she was ready to eat lunch or a snack and go down for a solid 2-3 hrs and I could relax. It’s tough though on days like today when we don’t have anywhere to go and when I am trying not to go out for no reason. Staying home she tends to get more cranky because we run out of things to play. LOL She is an amazingly well behaved baby and we are so lucky and blessed. She is the BEST! Well, now it’s time for my coffee treat.

I am loving it! Last week I was a bit bored for a brief moment but Maxie and Spinelli’s “non-wedding” drew me right back in. Although I wish those two would be married happilty every after, I accept the outcome and am glad they are still happy together. Tuesday’s episode was the most uplifting and entertaining episode I had seen in a very long time. I really wish my Mom could be here to see it with me. She always got a kick out of stuff like that. Anyways, it was a very cute few days and we can owe it all to the Maxie/Spinelli event. With Those two along with JaSam I really believe this show is gonna be unstoppable.

As much as I go back and forth I have finally realized that the only people you can REALLY depend on is your family. Whether it is your immediate family or an Aunt, Uncle, or Cousin, family is so muchmore dependable than friends. I am so damn sick of selfish people who are supposed to be good friends. Don’t get me wrong I still consider these people amazing friends but I think that’s why it hurts so much when they take that friendship for granted or when they act selfishly and cancel plans at the last minute for reasons that are not serious. Or send you a text with a “tentative” answer and expect you to wait around for them while they wait for a better offer. I am so done with all that. I know now that friends are nice to have and in my heart I really do wish I had ONE girl friend that was a lot like me and I could count on no matter what. My best friend truly is a great best friend and if ever I needed her or was upset or anything she ould come running. People have their own lives and it’s the little things that count sometimes. I am perfectly happy with my husband and rest of my family to be there for me and us. I love my family so much and I am so glad we are a close bunch! I am even close with my cousins, we grew up together hanging out and doing whatever. Family is always there for you when you need them the most.

These days I have been super into black coffee brewed at home by yours truly. It’s a great way to cut the sweet craving in the middle of the day. It also gives me time to relax while my little bug is taking her nap. So I have been drinking it black for quite some time but since it is fall, I had to go out to Bigby and get a pumpkin spice coffee. Let me tell you it was DELICIOUS! I mean I would never get it everyday since it is about 5 bucks for a small and about a gazillion calories but it got me thinking. I could jazz up my coffee at home. So I bought light whipped cream and I put that on time with s few sprinkles of cinnamon. YUMM! I think I may go out and get a pumkpin flavor to add to it at home, but then again I may just save that for getting in on special occassions so I don’t consume all that unnecessary sugar. Either way, it’s delicious and I love this afternoon treat while relaxing in front of the computer or sitting on the couch reading. I love my quiet time.

Oh how I despise jean shopping and that is why I am not gonna do it. Well, not until I want to take the plunge and purchase the only brand that fits… Paige Jeans are the ONLY jeans that contour to my body and the downfall is, they are about $200+. Needless to say they aren’t really in my cards right now. Maybe after the carpet is in, and we are back to a normal state I will be able to splurge and get my new jeans just in time for the Fall. I will not however, every waste my time again trying on jeans of a shallower dollar amount. Although I would LOVE to and I am not an advocate of wasting money on clothes when you can easily get the same things for cheaper (Just not designer), unfortunately I have no choice when it comes to jeans. See, I love wearing jeans, I can even sleep in them if need be. (Trust me, late night parties make this necessary). This is why they MUST be perfect. Most jeans I try on are WAY too big, especially in the thighs. Some smash my ass, and some make it look like a granny. Oh, but not Paige. They are amazing, the perfect small butt pockets make my butt look nice and round and cute, they fit nice and snug in the thighs and the waist it nice and low (just under my hips). The only downfall is that I am only 5″2 but with regular length legs not short but the jeans run so long that I have to get them tailored. Hey they fit where it matters so I don’t mind paying the $15 extra bucks to get them shortened a bit. I absolutely love those jeans and now I am getting excited for my new ones just writing about it! Soon I tell myself, soon. ;)   FYI, if you are tiny and petite (I mean small people, pretty damn small), and have a difficult time finding sexy jeans, try Paige, I swear by them!!! And no I can’t purchase kids jeans…. I hate when people ask that. Kids jeans are shaped completely different than women’s jeans. They are wider and more square, and definitely shorter. Children do not take a womanly shape that is WHY they are kids jeans, not just because they are smaller. Trust me there are many “kids” that are a heck of a lot bigger than I am. Ok well, happy jean hunting!!!!!!!!!!!
