What’s new…
Posted on June 23, 2008 | Filed Under Misc
Well, I moved. Haven’t really had the time, or good enough internet to post, which is why I’ve been pretty silent lately. I would post some recent pictures but since I’ve already uploaded them on Facebook, and since the internet at my house isn’t amazing, you can just mosey on over here if you want to see pictures.
Not much else is new.
I’m running on some pretty intense hills.
It’s really, really hot here.
I found a face wash that I really really like it’s called Clean and Clear Soft In-Shower Facial.
Here is what the site says about it:
Steam
Oil-free, won’t clog pores; dermatologist testedUsing the steam of your shower, this treatment works in three ways to give you a complete facial in 1 minute
Detoxifies: Deep purifying formula, made with natural fruit acids, works with your shower’s steam to deeply cleanse your pores
Smoothes: Exfoliating grains sweep away dead surface skin
Softens: Using a natural moisturizing complex, it leaves skin soft and smooth
Now what makes it different then every other scrub that I’ve tried is that you put it on in the shower,1-3 times a week, let the steam open your pours for a minute or so, then scrub it off. Your skin feels soft, clean-yet not over dry. It also has a nice cooling feeling. I dig. If you’re in the market for a new scrub I definitely recommend this one.

I knew it….

I asked the awesome Libby for some advice on some leg toning exercises, and she suggested some pretty intense combinations of lunges and squats. Let me just say that I am SORE, as in lots and lots of pain. On the plus side, I think they’re working. My legs and my backside are feeling alot more toned and strong already, so thanks again Libby, and my new Brazilian bikini thanks you as well.
In other news I found out why I haven’t been running well lately…..Coffee. It pains me to say it, but it seems like my afternoon coffee was throwing off my groove. I ran today without having had it, and I had zero side stitches, zero waves of nausea, and a wonderful 3.5 mile run in about 30 minutes. Adios afternoon coffee, it’s been fun but running is more important, I’m sure you understand. Don’t worry though we’ll always have our mornings together, that will never change I assure you.
The funny thing is that when I was training for my half marathon, I remember having an afternoon coffee, a couple hours before my run, pretty much every day and it not bothering me at all, I guess things change. Now that I figured out what my problem is, I’m back to training for a 5k. I’ll keep you up to date on how it’s going, and when I choose which one I’m going to do.

Whats up?
Posted on March 19, 2008 | Filed Under Misc, Pictures
A wave of sickness is sweeping my home. I have yet to catch it. I’m thinking it’s cause I’ve been eating about 10 oranges a day, but I could be wrong.
I am now certified to perform CPR.
I got to visit my sister and some extended family last weekend. Lots of fun.
Connie Daycare. Aren’t they the cutest?
Steve and Linda and my baby left today *sniff* come back soon!
Now you know everything that’s going on with me.

Praise Time, Skincare, and other Randomness
Posted on January 9, 2008 | Filed Under Misc, Pictures
So this year one of my goals(not resolutions) is to be more praiseful, so here’s a little gratitude attitude.
Thank you Jesus that…
As cold as my cubicle seems at least I have warm clothes unlike alot of people in the world
The electricity in my office will be back on soon
Our Schedulers (Paula and Weffie) are very good at what they do, and are very understanding and easy to work with…not to mention super cool ppl 
I have two adorable godsons
I’m healthy
I’m able to run without pain
I have incredibly sweet and understanding co workers
I had a fun vacation(Thanks Maggie and Shem, and everyone else I hung out with and stayed with, for making it fun.)
And thats that. Now on to my skin care tips of the day.
1. Don’t pick or touch your face with dirty hands. Hand have TONS of germs on them which clog your pores, so just say no.
2. If you have blemish prone skin(like mine) make sure to rinse/ wash your face, after you workout especially if you had foundation on. When you sweat your pores open up making it easier for all the grime of the day to get in.
3. if you have oily/blemish prone skin ,change your pillowcase twice a week if possible, all the oil from your hair gets on your pillow every night which can cause breakouts.
Alright well thats all for now, next time we’ll tackle face washes for acne prone skin–what works and whats just not worth your money.
I’ll leave you with a pic of me and my godson Wes.

This n that
Posted on January 3, 2008 | Filed Under Misc, Rants and Raves
Well its a new year, yay! And with it comes resolutions…so being that I’m not one for making resolutions that I can’t keep, I decided to not make any this year. However there are some things I’d like to do more this year, one of those being to blog more. So here’s a little update on me.
I am..
Off vacation and getting back to work
Working on losing the holiday weight I put on(hee)
Trying to run faithfully every day
Thankful for all the wonderful friends I have
Missing Ruthie
Ok well now that thats out of the way someone asked me the other day what my top 10 makeup tips were, not that I’m any kind of expert, but it was flattering to say the least. So I thought I would share them here with my female blog readers, and to add a spin off of this, I’m thinking about making a weekly “beauty tips” posts. (I know I threw this idea around before, but with the new year here and resolutions being enacted, maybe I’ll actually get to it.)
So here’s the Top 10.
1. Light powder blue eye shadow is usually always a bad idea so use with extreme caution.
2. Don’t use a lip liner in the same shade of that cherry lipstick your wearing, the lipstick will fade leaving you with a nice red lip liner ring around your mouth, instead line your lips with a neutral liner so that way when the lipstick fades it won’t be so obvious.
3. If you want to make black eyeliner last longer and not smudge all under your eyes ,use a thin brush and go over the liner with a black powder shadow it helps dry it a bit and keeps it from smudging as much.
4. If you have a huge pimple and your having no luck covering it up here’s what you do. Wash your hands and take a tiny bit of chapstick on your finger and dab it on the pimple. Then take a dab of concealer either on your finger or on a brush and dab it on till its covered. See usually the pimple is dry which makes the concealer not really work so when you put the chapstick on first the concealer has something to adhere to.
5. Don’t ever put a color directly on your brow bone, beige, shimmery white and some pale pinks and golds are fine but anything other then that and it can look very 80ish.
6. To avoid that white face in pictures look that can come from certain foundations take a tiny bit of moisturizer and blend it along your jawline, this helps there not be such a noticeable difference between your face and your neck. Another tip on this one(trust me I have this problem a lot) is to take whatever pressed or loose powder you use on your face and blend some down to your neck.
7. If you don’t have time for mascara don’t put on eyeshadow especially if you have light eyelashes it ends up just look odd and can make your eyes look smaller. Instead line your eyes with a brown or black pencil to give your eyes a bit of definition.
8. Always wear sunscreen
9. Don’t apply blush in the hollows of your cheeks, only apply blush where you would naturally blush(I.E. the apples of your cheeks) for contouring of your face and to make your cheekbones stand out more use a matte bronzer in the hollows of your cheeks, down your nose and around your hairline and chin.
10. Take care of your skin, its the only skin you’ve got so make sure you keep it moisturized and clean as much as possible, never sleep with foundation on!
Kay well thats my two sense. If you have any questions or something you’d like to see me review let me know.

Home Sweet Home
Posted on October 25, 2007 | Filed Under Misc
Sorry I haven’t been blogging, due to the fires things have been a bit hectic around here. But I’m back now
I’m home.
I’m alive.
I’m healthy.
All these fires have really made me appreciate all the many blessings I have. I’m back home and the Lord kept our office, and house’s safe, which is a total miracle as one of them was about two streets away from one of the fires. So yeah , Life is great and God is good.
Thanks everyone for all your prayers for us, please continue to keep all those who lost their homes in your prayers as well.
TTFN.

For My Fruity
Posted on October 8, 2007 | Filed Under Misc
I’m not so good at this whole word thing, (you were always so much better at that then me) But you’re leaving and I want you to know how much you’ll be missed. You’ve pretty much been a staple in my life since I was 14, course I didn’t always like you, heh…but I really do consider you a sister in every way. I couldn’t ask for a cooler little sister then you. I wish I would have spent more time with you, and taken advantage of the time you were here, but the past is the past. Anyway I love you Fruity, you will always be my little sister and whatever you choose to do with your life, please know I support you one hundred percent, and if you ever need me for ANYTHING I will be there so fast your head will spin. Kay this is getting sappy so I’ll end now( I know how much you hate sappiness.) Please stay in touch, I want to know how you’re doing, none of this disappearing off the face of the earth and forgetting who your real friends are, amen?
A Sister is…
Besides you in trouble,
Behind all your dreams
In touch with your feelings
And into your schemes,
Above making judgments
Up front from the start,
Around when you need them
And close to your heart.
–Author unknown
Eight years later
Time goes by fast
Got my memories
And they will last
I will remember you
And all of the things that we’ve gone through
There is so much I could say
But words get in the way so
I will remember you
Love you fruity!

I’m gonna be famous…well sort of heh
Posted on October 4, 2007 | Filed Under Misc
A couple months ago I filled out this little survey thing online for Covergirl’s new makeup collection and I uploaded a photo. It was for Queen Latifah’s new “Queen” Collection makeup line for darker skin tones. Anyway, they made you fill out some silly questions like, What makes you a queen etc…heh….But to make a long story short they picked me for one of the girls to be in the ad this ad will be the insert in Queen Latifah’s new Album that came out last month I guess.
And I get some free makeup, so I’m happy Keep in mind they tweaked what I wrote a bit, still I think it’s a pretty good witness. Thanks Linda for taking that pic of me.
