Back to what I love... Cosmetics!!!!

I went to Knoxville the other day with a friend (@TylerSmith) to the Apple store, to get his precious iphone fixed up, While on out trek I realized how my brain works, specifically how I relate everyday things or objects to something concerning cosmetics. When I try to make a metaphore or give examples it is with out fail, something like, 'Well if I do this it's like bleaching my hair, I cant get my natural back for awhile'! HA! I was looking at a car and he says " that muffler looks awful.' I say, ' it looks like a curling iron.". See my logic? Just wanted to share that little bit with you! :)


So, today I decided to brighten up my teeth a little, I use 'PlusWhite' Its paste you use with trays. I have used it for forever and I have never had any sensitivity with it ( and I am sensitive to everything!) If you're looking for a whitener I suggest you try it! your best bet is finding it at a local drug store or online. (www.pluswhite.com)

Also, a really great mascara to try is loreal's double extend, it is awesome and love how it doesn't come off during the day, AT ALL! Also, I HATE water proof mascara, it is also very bad for your lashes, but I hate it anyways! So always get the NON-water proof! I also love Urban Decay's BIG FATTY mascara, but it is also around twenty dollars and depending on where you live, it might only be available to you online, so you have to add for shipping, but I highly suggest that!

Cookbook update!

Oh my today has been a headache, but not in a terrible way :)! I have been doing loads and loads of research! I am getting so excited! Today I have been researching 'color philosophy', the study hf how the various colors effect emotions and marketing. It seems elementary, but the statics show that the most important things in any book is the title and the cover of the book, because if it doesn't sell, it doesn't matter what is in between the covers.

Also in the research I am doing the majority of the info out there suggest to self-publish your cookbook first them give those copies to close friends and family for feed back... all of you, be expecting a cookbook! Then have the people who receive the book to try various recipes and give you an honest critique of how easy the recipe was and how good. So that is where I am right now... I'll keep you posted!!!

I Hate People Today.

BOOK FEVER! I have been working on my book all day! It is coming a long nicely! A little stressful but I am enjoying it!

Lately I've just been bitter. I realize I am bitter towards select people, and I hate how people say " oh, let go and let God'. Well I will, when I'm ready. And quite frankly, I'm just not ready yet. This also bring up a pet peeve of mine, when 'Christians' try to tell other people, believers or not, what to do. That is how nad where Christians get a bad rap.

I'm feeling a little lonely today, my hubby has classes all day and I'm home, busy, of course but it's still quiet. It's amazing how many friends you have UNTIL you move away. We have been Cleveland now almost a month and Only heard from MY mom, MY dad, MY sister and my best friend. I'm fairly certain Jeremiah's family has forgotten about us, HA! And well our friends, I guess we'll make new ones???

Anyways, I guess I just hate everyone today. Ever have one of those days?

Hummbug!

Today. Today has been full of awesome creativity thanks to Google and my ink pad! I have mad some great progress for my book that I am writing! I have really 'never' finished much of the large projects that I've started in my life, but this I have fully committed myself to, 100%! I am so excited for the possibilities of this book!

Today. Today has also been full of frustrations! I feel upset and a little annoyed. I feel that some people in my life really only care about themselves, and only what things will directly effect them. What is really awful in this situation is that the people closest to them, either don't see it, or just don't care.

Peanut Butter Candy and Chattanooga

Today has been a good one! My hubby and I got to spend the day together, and this evening I am going to Chattanooga with some friends, while Jeremiah's at work.
-Today while Jeremiah and I went shopping and I've been looking for some new cologne for him, the ones that he has aren't great, so if any of you have any suggestions, let me know!!!

Last night I had such a weird dream! I dreamed that I was back in the sixth grade! Back in sixth grade weuse to get this 'stuff' called, peanut butter candy for dessert for lunch almost everyday, it was the best 'stuff' in the world! So today I googled it, and it took me forever, but I found what I think is the recipe for it! It is kinda like peanut butter fudge, but nothing like it at the same time? I guess its the only peanut buttery thing I know if to compare it to! Here is the recipe if you want to try it!

Ingredients

2 cups white sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
3/4 cup milk
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
Directions

Butter an 8x8x2 inch square pan. Set aside.
In a 2 quart saucepan with a candy thermometer inserted, cook sugar, light corn syrup, milk, and salt, until thermometer reads 234 degrees F (112 degrees C). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and peanut butter.
Put peanut butter mixture in a large mixing bowl and beat until mixture begins to thicken. Pour into prepared pan. Chill until completely cooled. Cut into squares.

I like it best that after it chills, melt a cup and a half if sweet chcolate and pour it on top, like an icing.YUMMY!

Letting my hair grow.

Lately I have been so touched by a fellow blogger, make-up artist and mom Kandee johnson. (kandeethemakeupartist.blogspot.com) You can read more on her blog, but though various external circumstances she needs prayer! I am just asking that though out your day today just say a little prayer for Gods will to be worked through her situation!

In other news, I have decided to let my hair grow! It has been about two years now since I have had my hair past these shoulder, and its about time I let it grow! I asked Jeremiah to be my 'hair accountability partner'. Pretty much, when ever I feel the urge to cut my hair well a significant amount, we all know getting the crispys trimmed off periodically is necessary; but he is supposed to say no! And remind me of how I want my hair long!

I would also like to update you all on life in Cleveland. Today is warm, 56 degrees! Which makes me oh so happy, because this mean the mice wont we coming into my house to get warm! My wonderful hubby caught four mice, FOUR! EW! I could barely breathe during the ordeal, but he has assured me that I am mow 'safe'!
