Back to school experience

Last year both of my boys were in school. My youngest just transitioning from daycare to all day 4 year old kindergarten. Since my son was already in daycare in out town it was an easy transtion for him. He already went to daycare full-time, knew most of his classmates already, and was accustomed to playing with other children. It wasn't hard for any of us. They're always excited to use their new backpacks and shoes. I never let them wear they're school clothes/shoes until the first day so it's a treat for them.

I had to work full-time. NO choice. I felt so guilty about having my kids in daycare full-time. Even though my boys loved it. Seeing how well they both adjusted to school when it was time for each of them to start however made me realize some of the benefits of daycare.

Make Up Forever HD Foundation

After months and months of searching for that perfect foundation...I finally found it. It wasn't an easy road to find it though. I had to deal with break outs, wrong colors, strange textures and weird smells. Then one fine day I gave this a chance and it was a match made in heaven.

Let me count the ways that I love thee....

This foundation is a medium to full coverage foundation. Normally I wouldn't go for a full coverage foundation because I hate the mask/cakey look that can come with that. This covers beautifully yet you still look like you and you can see your skin (minus the redness or discoloration). Out of all the foundations I've ever tried this photographs a-m-a-z-i-n-g.... you seriously glow. It's really hard to go wrong finding the right color seeing as they have 25 colors from the lightest to the darkest and everything in between. I'm using the color 120 and I love it.

This foundation will last you a long time because you only need a pump and half to cover your whole face....a little goes a long way. I like to apply this foundation with my fingers... I found I get the most natural look when I apply it this way.

It's $40 from Sephora.

This is what Sephora says about it and it could not be put or described better:

"It creates a soft-focus effect, designed to meet the coverage concerns of those in the spotlight. It creates a complexion that looks flawless, even in bright or harsh lighting."

I'm in love and I'm never turning back!:)

I also adore their Concealer Palette #1.... more to come on that...

More about the Bunni....

I am seriously a big time procrasinator and VERY lazy ! ^^"
I don't really know what I should do with my life yet.
I really wish I could live happily without stress from so many issues.
I enjoy attention at times but publicity isn't for me.
I really wish I lived in a fairy tale..I seriously love the big poofy princess dresses *O*
Although I don't look like it, but I am probably the craziest one out of all my friends & the wierdest one.
People are usually happy with me around most of the time.
I myself is usually happy but I do have a horrifying temper when I am unhappy.
I love cute guys with nice hair but even so V_V I am still being loyal to my annoying b/f.

You know..I am really procrasinating right now because I am suppose to pack for my dorm @_@ so instead of me continue writing an endless entry about myself, hang out with me...talk to me...and as time passes, maybe you will get a glimpse of the freaky bunni<3

Weight Loss

Wow, so it's been a while since I've blogged. Bad me. This is a different type of post, though. It's all about my weight loss plan and goals. I do think fitness and beauty really do go hand in hand, though. When you feel fit and healthily you do in turn feel beautiful. So, this is what I've been doing.
I started working out a little over a month ago... it's very hard to get to the gym with two little ones but I've really made it a priority. I gained about 50lbs with my 2nd son... I thought the weight would fall off like it did with my first (lost all my weight in 3 months)... yea...so that was NOT the case this time around. :(
I had my baby Oct 31st 08 and seriously have not lost one single pound since the middle of November. Enough was enough and I had to get my flabby butt to the gym.
I started out at 128lbs and I'm down to 122lbs. My goal is to be under 110lbs. I seriously think I can do it but it will require work. This is what I'm doing so far:

3-5 days a week I try and get to the gym. I work on the elliptical for 20 minutes, treadmill for 10 minutes and stationary bike for 10 minutes. I then use the weight hula hoop for 3 mins, jump rope, lift 10/15 weights for my arms, lunges with a 12lb bar over my shoulders, and squats with a 3 lbs ball. I also have been doing 100"bicycle" type of crunchs with a 10lb weight behind my head. From what I've read the "bicycle" crunchs are the BEST to do for abs!

I'm loving weight training. I think it's essential for toning up...and it won't make you huge just nice and toned. I try and do 3 reps of 10 (so 30) on each machine.

I've really changed my eating habits as well. I'm trying to eat a lot more fruits, veggies and lots of protein. I've been drinking a yummy chocolate protein shake between meals.

When I was younger I thought not eating was the way to lose lbs but clearly that's not healthy or even the way to do it.

Eat right and work out.... and slowly the weight WILL come off. But, if you do it THIS way and not stave yourself than the weight will stay off and you'll get a nice toned ROCK HARD rockin body!

My current inspiration is a woman named Jennifer Nicole Lee. She lost 70 lbs after the birth of her 2nd son. If she can do it...so can I.



How is your weight loss plan coming along?

Eyeko 3 in 1 Cream... the perfect highlighter!

I have nothing but good things to say about Eyeko! This is the only product I've tried by them but I'm VERY impressed. I bought the 3 in 1 Cream from www.eyeko.com and let me tell you.. it's a great company! FREE SHIPPING WORLD WIDE... I mean how many websites offer that? They shipped it really quick and the product was really inexpensive...it was $8 (or £6.00)if remember correct.

Ok, so on to the product.



This product says it's a 3 in 1 cream... a moisturizer, highlighter and eye cream. I personality think it can only be used as a highlighter...and a really amazing one. I think if you used it as an all over moisturizer you'd look like a shiny pinkish/pearl disco ball. It would NOT be a good look. As for an eye cream...again I'm not so sure about that. It might look pretty on your brow bone but that's about it.

I love this for a highlighter. It goes on really smooth and light. It creates the most beautiful "candle light glow". You only need a little bit...a little goes a long away. This jar will last you forever and for only 8 (£6.00)... you seriously can't beat that!

I'm very happy I got this product and I'm so impressed with the beautiful glow it gives!

Have you girls tried this? What is your favorite highlighter?
