10.14.14 New Maybelline Matte Lipstick Review

Good afternoon my friends I hope your morning is going well!

Today I am going to talk about a new lipstick that I couldn't wait to try once I saw the commercial. It's the new Maybelline matte wear lipstick.

The color I bought is 665 Lust For Blush. I think it is a gorgeous natural pink looking color. I love that it is so smooth and easy to apply. It goes on creamy and does not dry out my lips like other matte lipsticks. I have also found that I don't need to line my lips with a lip liner like I normally do with matte lipsticks. 

This is what the color looks like on my skin tone, I just love it!

As of right now I think they only have around 8 different colors but they are all so pretty I had a very hard time just picking one! I hope this review helps and if you have other products you would like me to review just let me know in the comments down below! I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day!

10.13.14 Cleaning Schedule

Good morning everyone! 

Today I am going to be talking about my cleaning schedule. I just moved into an apartment with my husband, so there is a lot more to keep clean then just a bathroom and one bedroom. Now that we finally have everything unpacked there is no excuses to why the house is a disaster! To help keep the clutter down and ourselves a little more organized I created a cleaning schedule, nothing to fancy just daily cleaning tasks and a few weekly cleaning tasks. 

As you can see I just printed it off, placed it inside a sheet protector, and stuck it to the fridge with some cute washi tape. Whenever someone completes a task we cross it off with a black expo marker that way the other person knows that it has been completed. 

Our daily cleaning tasks are:

make bed

put away clothes

wipe down bathroom counters

wipe down kitchen counters

put away dishes

pick up and put away any random things

do weekly task

The weekly tasks are broke down my days into broad terms such as, Monday: clean bathroom, then in parentheses are the little tasks, like clean toilet, shower, mirror.

Keep in mind that we are only two people so we do not have to do laundry everyday or run the dishwasher every day, feel free to change this in anyway that may benefit you and your family.. I hope this helps, if you need some help setting up a cleaning schedule just leave a comment below and I will try to help in any way I can!

Daily Thought: Who do you want to be?

When you are growing up and going through high school we often don't know who we truly are and we try to find ourselves. We do stupid things, stay up to late, and lose a lot friends but by the end we hope to have met a few true friends, be happy with ourselves, and figure out what and who we want to be. Once we find out who we want to be most the time you have to change things about ourselves and the people we are with. It can be hard to give up being "cool" but deep down we know that being "cool" won't get us anywhere in the future with who we want to be so we give it up, we take control of our life, and make decisions along with changes. We do this because deep down we want to change and some of us need to change but if you have no faith in what or who you want to be then you wont go anywhere. You need to have set goals that are wrote down, reasons why you have those goals, and ways you can reach them day by day. You have to believe in yourself that you can change and be the person you want to be, that is the first step.

Daily Thought: Change

Changing your lifestyle isn't an easy thing to do and it is a big commitment especially when you are trying to do something that you may never have done before, but if it is truly something that you want to change or do then do it because it will be worth it in the end. I find it easier to be committed to something when I am busy and have a lot on my plate. I am having a hard time staying motivated to wake up and do my morning todos because that is the only reason I really have to wake up but I feel like once I start school and if I get a new job then I will be better at getting up and being motivated to do more because I have other reasons to get out of bed. I know that changing myself is going to be for the better but it will also be hard and when life gets tough you have to get tougher because it will all be worth it in the end.

Daily Thought: Run Your Day

Because we are all human we are not perfect. No matter how in detail you plan your day sometimes it just doesn't workout, and that is okay. If you lay in bed all day because you are exhausted or if you didn't have time to make dinner and everyone had to fend for themselves, it's okay. Your husband will still love you, your kids will still see you as their hero, and your Mom is not going to resent you just because you had a slip up in your daily routine. When you wake up in the morning and see your day and all the stuff you need to do in your head it is very easy to become overwhelmed and unmotivated and when you finally start your day it runs you, that is not okay. When you get up you need to run your day; you need to take time for yourself and get motivated even if its just watching a morning tv show with coffee or going on a run to clear your head. If you wake up and do something you love you feel on top of the world and when I feel on top of the world I feel like a can do anything.
