10 Steps to Fake a Good Nights Rest!

I am proud to announce that I have been a blog contributor for a good friend of mine, Natalia at Ma Nouvelle Mode! Her and I met at a blogging conference a while back and have stayed in touch ever since! She is an amazing wife and mother to 2 beautiful boys. She loves helping busy moms find well deserved time for themselves and has graciously has asked me to help her along the way. Last month I posted about “2 Hair Styles in Under 2 Minutes Each”.

With moms being as busy as they are, I know that most nights they aren’t getting enough sleep. So, this month I wanted to share with you how to “Fake a good nights rest”.

This video has a complete makeup tutorial showing you just how I faked a good nights rest. It is very easy and makes you look and feel very refreshed.

I hope this helps you on those mornings after a long night.

Do you think this is something that you will be able to use and incorporate into your morning routine?

Where Has Your Purse Been?

Have you ever thought about where you place your purse when you go out? Have you ever placed it on the floor at a restaurant during dinner? Do you know what could be on the floor under that table?

What if the person before you had to use the restrooms? Their shoes walked all over that disgusting bathroom floor and walked right back to their table and placed their shoes right where you had set your purse. Pretty gross isn’t it?

I found these awesome purse holders that you can keep with you. This way, you will have somewhere to hang your purse when you need to. I can’t tell you how many times this has come in handy for me. I am never going to leave home without one of these again.

The brand that I have is called Purse Mate. These are just cheap ones from the dollar store, although I have seen some really nice ones at a few other stores as well.

One last thing to think about: Where does your purse go after you leave the restaurant? Maybe you go home and set it on the table where you eat. Who knows what was on the bathroom floor of that restaurant?

After thinking about a few of the possibilities of what could end up on the bottom of your purse, now would be a great time to consider using a purse holder. It will keep your purse off the floor and away from the germs.

Have you ever thought about where your purse has been?

Thanks for reading,

Corks, Corks and More Corks! {Wedding Update}

For those of you who know me, you know and would agree that I love the little things in life. I like taking something simple and making it beautiful! I believe that if we took more time to appreciate the little things in life we wouldn’t be so stressed out.

Take corks for instance; they may not seem like much but there are so many thing you can do with something so small. Think about it, corks can also be so romantic. The only place you can get a cork is from a wine bottle and wine is a sure sign of romance.

My little brother started collecting corks a long time ago. Needless to say that over the years we have accumulated a good amount or corks. So many, in fact, that my mom started using them as decorations around the house.

Then one day on Pinterest I came across some really good ideas for different uses for corks. More importantly, corks that I can incorporate into my wedding day! (You can follow me on Pinterest HERE to get my latest pins.) These are some of the pins I found with corks.

After seeing all of these cute ideas, I gathered all of the corks that my mom had been using as decorations around the house.

Brandon helped me sort them…

And Count them.

We have more than enough to use for our reception. Now we just have to decide what we are going to use them for.

What do you think we should do with them?

Natural Eye Makeup Remover {DIY}

Are you sick and tired of your eye makeup remover burning your eyes? Or maybe it just doesn’t work the way it should and your eyes are raw after wiping them so many times (and probably way to hard).

You are not alone! For years I have been struggling to find the right eye makeup remover for me. I don’t know how many different products I have tried. Out of all of them there was only one that stood out from all of the rest and that was coconut oil!

I know what you are probably thinking: coconut oil isn’t a eye makeup removal product. Although coconut oil is used in the kitchen there are so many other uses for it and removing makeup is one of them.

Here is a short video showing you just how easy it is to use coconut oil as an eye makeup remover.

I honestly can’t believe how amazing coconut oil works. It is natural, safe and effective. Once you start using it, I guarantee you won’t ever go back to your old stuff again.

It is this simple:

1. Start with all of your makeup still on your face.

2. Put coconut oil on your fingers (about a pea size) and close your eyes.

3. Rub the coconut oil on your eyes.

4. Yes it will look you have big black raccoon eyes. lol

5. Grab your wash clothe.

6. Gently wipe off the oil with your clothe.

7. Repeat on other eye.

8. You’re finished!

It doesn’t get much easier than this! It doesn’t make my eyes burn and there are no harsh chemicals! This is definitely a must try, it even gets off waterproof mascara!

Do you like the eye makeup remover that you are currently using? If you get it in your eye does it burn like mind did?
