OOTD- Tucker for Target!

After seeing Rosa in her outfit yesterday I decided to pull out my Tucker for Target top and show it some love!  Today is my last day before we leave on our vacation and I feel like a chicken with my head cut off *trying* to get everything done (which includes deep cleaning the house for our house guests!)  I did manage a small shopping trip in and picked these up and may I say they are cute and comfy!  Here is what I am wearing today...

La la LASHES!

I started using Latisse about 3 months ago and wanted to report about my progress.  My eyelashes are totally longer and starting to really thicken.  I have been really happy with this product and the results!  I did switch mascara which I think helps!  I used to use this which I FIRMLY believe is the best cheap mascara on the market.  But my SIL told me to switch to this which so far I REALLY like but honestly need more time to decide if it's actually worth the $$!  If you want to get your hands on Latisse without going to the Dr. and getting a prescription (because maybe your doctor is not as generous with the prescriptions like mine!)  I know you can get it here and they have a *Dr* write you a script and mail it to you (cheapest place to get in online that I know of, even cheaper than the pharmacy with your Dr's prescription) and I personally have experience with this company so I know it's actually Latisse not F-atisse!  

I never took a before shot but I found this one and hope you can see the difference!
Here is the *before* shot!

After!  

Things to know about Latisse:
* It's about 100 bones for a 60 day supply
 (I can make it stretch to about a 90 by dropping one large drop in the cap and dipping the applicator into it, I also only use one applicator a night instead of the 2 it recommends)
* It takes 6 weeks to start to see any results
* You only use it a few times a week once desired results are achieved, so the price will decrease after the initial 3 month period!
* Once you stop using it your lashes will eventually return to normal
* The studies have not shown a change in eye pigment with the use of Latisse BUT in patients that used the same product for Glacoma under the name Lumigan.


Here is Brooke Shield's Before and After photo's after 12 weeks, and they are much better than mine!
* I am in no way endorsing the use of prescription drugs without a prescription, just letting people know about my experience with it. *

*If you jack your eyes and your lashes fall out, or your eyes turn black I will not be held liable!  Sue Brooke Shields she actually has $$*

OOTD- Dagmar delight!

I am getting ready to leave T-4 days!  I have been downloading books to my Kindle (Matched, The Goose Girl (Books of Bayern), and The Red Tent: A Novel) I may not be able to read them all (because I have a talking/shopping problem that takes a great deal of time) but at least I will get to them!  I am also so excited to hit up Vegas and try on some ankle length jeggings those are at the top of my Spring wishlist!  Here is what I wore to church yesterday...

OOTD- Volante Debut!

I have had this top since December 29th (I got it on my anniversary!)  I have not worn it yet, ummmm I did not want to iron it but finally broke down and *tried* to (does throwing it in the dryer with a wet rag count?)  My kids lost my wedding ring and I have been searching the house endlessly, I still have not found it and am just sick!  I have spent half of each day going through my house drawer by drawer and crawling around looking everywhere in the house.  I keep saying my prayers and hoping that they will be answered!  Here is what I am wearing the other day (before my wedding ring was lost!)...
Top Anthropologie: Volante Tee
Pants Anthropologie: Pilcro Cords
Belt Anthropologie Snake Bite: similar here
Boots Anthropologie: Pebbled and Primped

OOTD- Breezy and comfortable!

Wow that was some sale hu?  I *almost* cannot believe it but I did not get anything!  I am holding out for a few items this dress, this cardi, and this belt.  I am proud of myself for resisting the impulse buy (which I usually never do) and saving for next week when it's vacation time!  I wore this dress on Saturday but since today I am in 'mom clothes' I thought I would post this...

Burlap Banner Tutorial...

I love me some St. Patty's Day!  It is such a fun holiday and well any excuse to wear a shamrock rates pretty high in my book!  I wanted to decorate for the season and lets face things like this won't work, so after searching around I found this cute idea on Etsy, but decided that instead of paying 22 dollars + shipping I would make it myself (for less than 4 bucks!)
Get some burlap (I got mine at Walmart *shudder* for 2.98 a yard)
Cut out a template I just cut until it looked right.
I cut out 7 flags for each banner

Make a template for your design I drew a shamrock and then exactoed it out

Get your glue gun out, and some (jute) twine 
(I got the twine at Loews a few years ago for like 4 bucks)
Glue pennants to twine (this is the no sew version!)

Get your paint supplies out, I used two different green's and a glittery green
(I already owned these)

Put your template on the burlap and 'stamp' it on.  
Yes there is a baby foot in the corner of the picture 
*unruly children*

Let dry for 15 minutes and Voila'...
Cute and cheap!

From start to finish it took me less than an hour and I made two!  
Totally my kind of craft!
