Ipsy Bag: July 2013

I have been subscribing to Ipsy since it they launched back in January of last year. I haven't posted any of the bags up until now, but I finally decided to keep a record of the awesomeness that is Ipsy.

This month I received the "On the Wild Side" addition of the Ipsy, which included a wonderful neon yellow and leopard print bag. Inside of that very fabulous wild bag was NYX Blush in Pecan, J. Cats Lashes and Cream Glitter Palette, Starlooks Lip Liner in Bare, Chella Highlighter Pencil. I really can't wait to see use the lashes, blush, and lip liner. These are all products that I am constantly looking for and adore. I am curious how the Pecan color from NYX will look. I'll post a video or photos of a look featuring these products later this week.

Must Have Summer Look 2013

  I have been on the search for the perfect summer look for a couple months now, and have finally chosen my favorite "must-have" products! I am pleased to present my list to you!

1. Kiehl's BB Cream - I received a sample of the Kiehl's BB cream for a girl's beach trip I went on a few weeks ago. I totally loved it! I wore it all day when we were on the beach and exposed to heavy amounts of sun. It also gives some of the best coverage I have seen from a BB Cream! Oh, and best part? There's 50 SPF in it!
2. Benefit's Tripe Performing Moisture - I work for Benefit Cosmetics so I find myself often playing with our products while at work (duh!). This is one of the best daily moisturizers that I have found. It's light weight and had the SPF we all search for during the summer!
3. Urban Decay Makeup Setting Spray - I found this lovely product at our local Sephora. It is great for the long days outside where you're going to be sweating and we can occasionally feel like our make up is "melting off". I tend to find setting it with an oil-control really helps prevent that unwanted shine we all hate.
4. Benefit's PosieTint - This is the easiest "waterproof" cheek/lip color for summer! It also comes in red (Benetint) and Coral (Cha Cha Tint). It's actually a cheek/lip flush so the color totally stays even after swimming, eating, pretty much whatever! It's ahhh-mazing!
5. Benefit's Sunbeam - A sunny bronze highlighter. This highlighter can be used in so many ways -- like mixing it with PosieTint for a glowing cheek/lip that lasts! You can also use it for a cheek highlighter on top of the cheek bone, or an eyeshadow...or a brow highlighter!! It's such an versatile product!
6. Lorac Tantalizer Bronzer and Highlighter Duo -  You always need to have a glowing sun kissed face, and Lorac is definitely a brand who delivers that great summer look. I love how the bronzer/highlighter goes really well on my cheeks.
7. Lorac Mint Edition Collection - This summer I am feeling very 60's/70's with my look, so I chose the Lorac Mint Edition to help bring a little vintage glam to the look, you can really spice it up or down. I just feel this palette and collection in general is very summer and fun.

Do you guys have any "must-have" summer products that I should know about? I'd love to hear your thoughts on what is your total vice!

Instagram 2.0

How's life been for me? Well, it has only involved a new car, working a lot, and possibly moving. Let's cross our fingers that life one will day smooth out, and I'll feel like blogging again. For now? Here's a snipet via instagram (@calciferscurse)  

Happy Valentine's Day

So I have been a little absent from this slice of the internet for a bit. We had a huge event at work for Fine One One, and we started planning the Mega Event for Fake Up at the end of March, so things have been a little crazy for me the last two weeks. But I don't mind, I could think of worst jobs to have - like killing puppies or cleaning up road kill, maybe even scrapping bunts from feet. Well now that I've ruined everyone's appetite, let me proceed with the Gigi's Cupcakes V and I got from our Valentine's day treat.

  We went to get cupcakes and to eat Japanese, I didn't take my camera in to the Japanese restaurant, since it was beginning to snow and the entire restaurant was packed. I thought it would be more of a hassle than something fun. Oh well, I got the memories anyways, and that's the most important part. I hope everyone had an awesome Valentine's day, stay tuned for some reviews I have coming up, once I have some free time. Pst, they're going to be awesome.

Peeving Out: 1

Today, in this epic edition of Peeving Out, I am going to let you in on one of my major peeves of the internet: Taking credit for something that you didn't create. You might be asking yourself what exactly that means, you edited the template to death and redid all the graphics to suit your liking - that makes it yours. Nope, try again there buddy. Still not yours. Did you build the framework? Did you design every aspect of your blog? Did you make those social media icons, or did you download from a freebie section of a website? Why the hush hush about where you found your resources? You might be wondering what brought this on. Why now Ashley? Why call people out? I was browsing through blogs, which I do almost daily, and I stumbled upon a website - I recognized the framework, but noticed the credit links in the footer had been removed. So, I navigated to the "Site/Domain" page of the website to check to see what child theme they used, alas no credit given at all. Funny enough? They have their own blog designing website where you can buy themes from them.   I mean really? How hard is it to give credit to someone who deserves it? I love using the Genesis Framework, and all the great options that come along with it. I also have a clear credit list under domain. Also, the ridiculous thing is, it doesn't make you less of a designer if you do use framework! Most companies who offered frameworks offer a license you can register and sell themes built with their framework! If you're going to use the framework for your personal use or professional, please give credit where it is due. Most places, like StudioPress, built the framework to be used, all they ask for is a little credit for giving you some awesome tools to succeed with. I wish you all the best of luck in your future design endeavors, you're going no where with that 'tude.

Day Off Adventures

Since starting a new job, things have been a little hectic - now that I mention it, things have been hectic since summer. But again, beside the point, for some reason I tend to that  more often than any average person. Anyways, the job has clogged up most of my weekends. Which, I don't really mind considering I am very happy with the job I am doing. But missing out on the time spent with V is a little hard to adjust too. I have spaced out my days off so we are able to spend some quality time together.

Yesterday, we chose to go to the Children's Museum, V actually woke up at the crack of dawn and was like "trick you going to take me to the museum or what?" Okay, technically those weren't her words but let's be real - at 6:30am that's what I am hearing. I made some waffles and we were off...

First we stopped by the alphabet room, and she played with some ducks. It was really hard to find an enjoyable area of the museum, I guess Thursdays are "bad days to go to the museum", there were at least 100 kids there. It was pretty chaotic, but we eventually found a quiet place where we could enjoy our time there.

We also found a lion, and check out V's sweet wispy hair! She probably needs a hair cut, but who has time for that? Not this gal. That's for sure. She had fun piling the lions on top of each other and pretending to ride them.

So, after we climbed a couple of bean stalks and V told me that the "giant" was actually a balloon and Mother Goose's golden egg. Obviously, my entire childhood memories were crushed upon learning this. We proceeded to the art room, which is literally the only quiet hub in the entire museum, I was thankfully my child is so artistic that she is satisfied sitting still in a room painting in a smock for an hour. After that, we had some snacks, played in the library and art room some more and called it a day.

Wondering what's going on today? Nothing really. A bunch of ice falling from the sky ruining my work schedule. I'm getting some extra days off, but not by choice. Grumble.

New Beginnings: Part One

Four years ago, I met V's dad. I can't really believe it's been four entire years, but it most definitely has. Since the day we met, my life has been an ever changing journey. I've gone from a crazy whimsical 20 year old girl who lived from bags and only thought about the future as some far off distant place, to someone who provides stability, comfort, and has goals to accomplish instead of dreaming life away. When I first found out I was pregnant with V, I was living in a two bedroom apartment with my previous room mate, working third shift as a cocktail waitress in a strip club, smoked cigarettes, made bad choices, only wore black and went to heavy metal shows. I was the ideal "scumbag" your parents probably warned you about at the lovely age of 19. When I met J he was in a band, touring with my room mate's boyfriend. I was unimpressed by him, but somehow he convinced me to go out with him. There isn't much of a romantic diabolical of a story there. I met him, we dated, we made a baby. Majority of the time I "dated" him, he was 4,000 miles away from me in California, making dating quite unusual. We would fly and visit each other, meet each other's families, etc. There was no importance to our relationship, it was toxic, unstable, cold, brash, and would have never worked. Did I see this at the time? No, otherwise this post would be extremely different than it is. Before things went from bad to even weirder and crazy dysfunctional - I peed on a stick as a joke, only to find this pregnancy "joke" wasn't too funny. After I told J that I was pregnant, things were wonderful for awhile. We contemplated all our options as a young couple who had been together for a brief time and were in a rocky place. We decided that the best option would be to have our child, and do the best we could. Things started out great, we made plans, were on the same page, everything was awesome. Then, something changed. I was in California visiting him for two weeks when we were sitting at his friend M's house. I asked what kind of plans we were going to be making as far as living arrangements went. I was already three months pregnant, it was time to make the choices on how/what we were going to do when it came to our baby. That was the day, my entire life changed. Not finding out I was pregnant, not telling him, but the day he decided it wasn't what he wanted anymore. When we left M's house that evening, things were different. I had a week left in my visit at his house, I slept in his sister's room and he didn't even speak to me. He drove me to the airport after a week of ignoring me, didn't even hug me, just drove away. It. Was. Over. There's a couple bumps in this tale but to save your brains the sanity, I'll exclude most of our relationship mishaps and focus on the new beginnings portion of this post and bypass a couple months of not even speaking to each other.   During the 5 months that J and I didn't speak, my room mate was a huge part of my support system. We bought V's crib, packed it away, put it in the car, etc. We set it all up, we made plans for a baby while J was in lala land somewhere pretending this entire relationship, baby, and "thing" hadn't happened. I prepared myself to do this alone, I went to all my appointments alone, faced all the adversity during this pregnancy alone. All and all, as happy as I am from the result, my pregnancy was an extremely depressing era of my life. Not only did my entire life change during that time frame, but my outlook, mind set, and what I expected from the opposite sex also changed. Eventually as the time set in closer, and J slowly emerged back into the picture demanding a paternity test and being 50 shades of sketchy/douche to me. He came, spent a week in my home (we moved into a larger starter house at that point, as seen above in that photo. Melrose was one of my favorite homes to date. We truly made that place our home). He stayed with us, ignored me, treated me as I was a lesser person. His mom even had the audacity after I spend all evening at 9 months pregnant cooking her a traditional southern dinner, to refuse to step foot into my house because it was small, didn't have central AC, and I didn't have a guest bedroom. Can we say I had too many red flags with it came to him at this point? Maybe if anyone actually reads this, I will continue with what happened after she was born and where another new beginning happened in my life.

This is...Halloween?

I haven't updated in a while. Mainly because I haven't felt the same fire I once did when it came to blogging, but also because I have been working countless hours in hopes of preparing the store I manage for the holiday season. Either way, I feel like a small breath of fresh air outside of the blogging world has done me some good. We went to an old Moravian village the Sunday before Halloween for a Jack 'o Lantern lighting and trick or treating up and down the cobble-stoned main street, it was was really fun. We didn't stay long enough for them to light the Jack o' Lanterns due to Smalls being so tired she didn't even want to collect candy anymore. You know that's an issue when a child doesn't want free candy. The trip didn't result with that many great pictures as I didn't really spend much time capturing the moments, instead, I spent majority of the time enjoying them. Also, to follow up from my last post about buying a house - I think I have made the choice to stay in my tiny apartment a bit longer, possible moving to the larger apartment downstairs, but that's still a toss up. I don't think moving into a house, even though it's a possibility, would be a good move for me. I am not quite sure how long I will be in this area, I finish school in  about a year and have a couple different ideas of where/what the future might hold, and most of them don't include this area.

Growing Pains

I've been living in my tiny shoebox for around two years now. It's crazy how time moves so fast and things change so rapidly. I've been progressively working on my credit since last year in hopes of one day hopefully being able to purchase a home, car, or whatever tickles my fancy. The good news is, I have in fact improved my credit. After spending most of the year budgeting for not much more than Ramen Noodles and gas to work and back I can say I did it. I took the first step in improving not just my future but the future for smalls as well. Point of this post? I am ready to make the steps towards purchasing a home for us. To set some roots down some where and be able to make a place ours. I can paint the walls and have more square footage than 580 feet. That would be nice. I'm ready to feel like all the hard work I have been putting in majority of my life is paying off. I am sure you'll be hearing more about the house hunt, and how the entire process is going. Once the house is purchased, I am sure you'll hear plenty of decorating my nook will go! So cross your fingers!

Fairs and Goodbyes

This past week has been a busy week for us. Our friends are packed up and ready to move to Texas which is a very sad moment for me and the offspring. We've both been busy with school and I have been adjusting to working full-time and going to school. So if you're wondering where I've been and why I haven't been here, it's simply because I have been having a breakdown in the corner like "Gimmy" from United States of Tara - if you haven't seen that show - channel inner beast meets the outer world. The good news is I hear things get easier...I'll believe it when I see it though.   But for now, we'll enjoy the simple moments we do get with the people that matter the most. I think life is pretty simple when you break it down. It's amazing how much you learn as you grow older and how much more you value the little things like a kiss from your daughter, or when she shares her blanket with you. No more rushing for me, I think that was the biggest realization I have faced these last couple of months. Life is what you make of it, so make it good.

Daily Makeup Routine

I get asked sometimes, especially on my Instagram what my daily make up routine entails. What people really don't realize is my "daily" routine is actually once in a blue moon when I actually feel like not looking homeless. But that's okay, I'll do my Daily, non-daily, Routine, and save my "Homeless" make up post for a rainy day (said no one ever). Point being, people are curious about my facial region and the shit I put on it.  And as that one scripture in the bible said, "Ask and thou shall receive."

Maybelline Shine Free Loose Powder($7), Benefit Stay Don't Stray($26), Benefit The POREFessional($30), Benefit Playstick($34), Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen($34), Benefit Brow Zings($30), Benefit Cabana Glama($36 $19), Eyecko London Liquid Eyeliner($15), Revlon Custom Eyes($8), Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick($8)

That seems like a lot of make-up, but I promise it isn't. I just have awful bags because I never sleep that I try to cover up! It's honestly a pretty basic method.

• Step 1: Clean and Clear Finish, which features 15 SPF - an entirely too important thing to use on your face! It moisturizes my face while preventing me from looking like an oil spill.
• Step 2: Stay Don't Stray by Benefit - This is an eyeshadow primer but I use it for a foundation around my eyeballs primer too.
• Step 3: PlayStick by Benefit - I put this around my eyeballs, after the whole primer step. (I'm really bad at using girly descriptive terms here)
• Step 4: Hello Flawless Oxygen by Benefit - I touch up any weird spots on my face like huge pimples or random uneven skin colors.
• Step 5: Maybelline Shine Free Loose Powder - I use this to make my face less gross...it's kind of out of order for me to "finish" before blush but I like the results better.
• Step 6: Cabana Glama by Benefit - The kit includes a lot of stuff including eyeshadow, blush, lip tint, and foundation. I don't use the foundation in the kit, but I use everything else. During this step, I also put on my eyeliner which is made by Eyecko London, it's a liquid pen and I love it. I have it in black and Olive, I use them both at the same time.
• Step 7: Revlon Custom Eyes - this has it's own step, because I will sit around and keep putting mascara on like a weirdo for a good 3-4 minutes until it's perfecto!
• Step 8: Posie Tint Lip Stainer, Revlon Super Lustrous in "Siren", and Jouer Gloss in "Birchbox Pink" for lips, yeah I know, how many things can I put on my lips, but really this is an important thing guys. Lips and eyebrows really pull your "look" together.
• Step 9: Benefit's Brow Zing - I make my eyebrows fabulous using this kit (minus the plucking, I didn't do that so I have caterpillar eye brows for y'all)

I know I said I would save my awful before for another day but I decide to share with you anyways, just so you all can have bad dreams about my face for weeks to come. You're so welcome.

First Day of Preschool

So today marked the first day of Preschool for Smalls, whom claims that it was not Preschool but in fact College. I asked her what she was majoring in, and after careful consideration, she has narrowed it down to astronaut or science teacher! Fantastic "majors"! The day went off without too much trouble. She did get bitten by a boy in her class, which I couldn't believe. I knew something would happen to this extent when I went to drop her off and the two kids in the corner were running around trying to punch each other - what do you know, what of those fine fellas was the one putting teeth on my kid! I really hope it doesn't happen again tomorrow because I am not quite sure if I'll be so understanding. She colored pictures, ate breakfast, lunch, and played outside for awhile. In light of her experience with the whole biting ordeal - she seems excited to go back and kick her "college" career's butt! Now if she could only give me half her motivation for my college career butt kicking...I look a little crazy repeating, "But I don't want to go" while traipsing across campus.

The Toddler Room

I get asked from time to time about what V's room looks like. I've typically ignored this request until now, due to the fact I think it's creepy you want to see the inside of my apartment, but hey, you only live once. YOLO. I went there just now, didn't I?

So for those who don't remember, and those who are new - I moved into my very first apartment with no room mates last March. It's a small apartment, but it suites my needs very well. It's around 680 sq ft, two bedrooms, one bath, and a weird kitchen/living room area (some would call it a studio room,  but I prefer strange weird room). It's all utilities included (minus fancy internet), and it also came with a washer/dryer and a little storage room as well as an attic crawl space. Oh, did I mention I have an amazing wrap around porch and no gas bill for heat? My top two favorite things about this apartment.

Okay, enough about the apartment, and all of it's tininess. I know you want the goods.

Welcome to V's room! Off to the left you can see the entrance way, and behind me is her clothes closet, that place is scary and will never let a part of it's soul be captured by the camera. Straight ahead, is the "closet" that I had originally planned to use for my shoe closet, but I ended up giving V this room instead of mine.

When you walk around the corner in her room, you'll see her table, art easel, toy box, and play kitchen (Which I might add a lot of my internet friends contributed too). You'll also see her projector nightlight my old room mate found, it projects a princess scene onto her ceiling at night, she loves it. She also loves Diego, no Dora, just Diego - I don't mind he's more animal forward. She knows so much about animals from watching that show!

Also, if you can see on the art easel, her new thing is drawing circles. She will not stop, it's so adorable, oh, and don't forget they're almost perfect circles. I should be concerned about phone calls telling me seven days shouldn't I?

I didn't end up snapping any pictures of her closet play area, but it holds all of her bigger toys, like her "get ready" area, rocking horse, baby carriage, baby changing table/high chair, blocks, and tent. Oh, and her dresser as well. The closet is actually extremely large and useful. I love older places (this house was built in 1930 so I have all kinds of beautiful archways, and strange corners - plus it's completely not level!) This place could be so nice - I wish I could paint. I am thinking about asking my landlord if I could paint her room a beautiful shade of Robin's Egg Blue, what do you think?

So there you have it! A beautiful artist' room. I'm sure she'll invite anyone willing over for a tea party later on.

Rainy Days

So, after finishing my classes last week in hopes of having an exciting next few weeks of just lounging around the house and running the handful of errands I have. We get hit by a rain "week", I feel like I live in Washington sometimes with how often it seems to be raining lately. I'm sure I am not the only person who when the rain sets in, so does Netflix and snuggling with a blanket all day.

I'm ready to see some sun, the kind of sun that makes you wanna spend all day outside.

 I guess I got my wish of lounging.

Strawberry Fields

I feel lame for making a Beetles reference, but that's besides the point. This past weekend V and I spent most of our time in the country at my best friend's house. She grew up on a farm so we got the whole experience while there. Big Saturday lunches, lots of kids, and just all around simple fun. It's great to kick back, and drive out of the city limits from time to time to remind me where I came from. I miss living in the middle of nowhere sometimes, I can't deny the beauty in a nice set of rolling hills. And the smell of fresh air is something that can't be compared to anything or described in words.

I really hope now that I am done with my school for this semester we'll be able to have more time like this, I cannot wait to see what the summer holds for us. Plenty of adventures will ensue.

Good news!

This is one of the very first pictures of Offspring, ever.

I got some good news from V's dad today. We're going to be changing up our custody agreement. I will officially have V 70/30, and I couldn't be happier. She's also coming home 2 weeks early. Can we please talk about what an achievement this is and how excited I am? No more not seeing her for a month at a time. Everyone let's have a party together!

So this is college? Oh.

via

I'm in my second year at a local community college, studying god knows what but my personal indecisiveness isn't what should be in question here. I'm disappointed by, and unclear of where, the future of higher education is going. I'm so upset by my course load this semester, and technically I'm not even a full-time student. Instead of trying to dance around details, I'm going to jump into this in a sporadic way, as the thoughts come - I share.

I'm taking 10 credit hours this semester, if you have no idea what that means, I'm basically one class short of being a full-time student. I'm taking three classes this semester - Psychology, Math, and a Spanish class. My Math class is considered 4 credit hours due to the fact I am in the classroom almost 7 hours a week. But personally, my math class? Easy fucking Peasy compared to the rest of my course load. I actually have not a single complaint about that class. My teacher is great, understanding, and doesn't over teach or stress the students out. We have a manageable load to carry this semester.

Spanish, I don't even have a course outline for this class. I received an email from my teacher on Sunday night at 11pm telling me that we could start our assignments for Chapter 3. There were 18 assignments, due by Wednesday. I feel overwhelmed by not knowing anything until he decides to send out an email sharing with us what were doing then rushing around doing all of these assignments as well as the ones that I already have assigned from other classes, and working two jobs. I'm going to explode. Do I blame them for giving out too much work? No. I blame the method the teacher has towards this course. A crazy expectation of what students of a community college can handle.

But Spanish, yeah, that's the least of my rants.

My psychology teacher floors me. She assigns a chapter a week. We must read the chapter and be prepared to take a test on it that weekend. Mind you, I am in a strict classroom class and have yet to do one assignment in a classroom. I have only done assignments online. Every quiz, assignment, and even my mid-term next week will be online. Is this wrong? I'm thinking fucking so. What the fuck did I sign up for a classroom class for when the only thing the woman ever talks about is how much she hates living in the South. Okay, well move back home then and let them hire a teacher that wants to teach us? Pretty simple concept.

I missed the first quiz due to over volume on Blackboard, and sent her an email, she refused to let me make it up, so for the rest of this semester I have been scrambling trying to save my grade, and this week is supposed to be our Spring Break, wanna guess what I am doing? I'm going to be doing two mid - terms, one for Spanish, and one for Psychology and I also have to do my quiz on Chapter 9, and all my written assignments for Psych.

Neither one of those teachers have even remotely taught me anything. I'm over learning, I memorize information and write it down, and that's all. I want a teacher who engages me, who tries to teach, who wants to teach me something. Instead I get these hag who think she's so hard for assigning a chapter a week, and whines about her personal life, and a guy who can't even be bothered to provide us with our grades.

Where the fuck did all the good teachers go? How are they getting away with this at a college level. For those who don't understand the difference between community college and a university, try to brush up. Community college is much like high school and should flow about the same pace. Psychology requires 12-15 hours outside of the 3 classroom hours a week for study time, so between just math and psych I am up to about 25 hours after at-home assignments. I work 35 hours a week currently, and still have to manage my spanish class. So tack on another 5 hours for that. If you can't do the math that's roughly 65 hours a week I am spent shoving my head up someone's ass. AND I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO GET A FANCY DEGREE.

I'm going to die from this. Everyone pray that I can survive the remainder of this semester and give these shitheads the worst evaluation they've ever had and never look back.

I've been busy, and I will continue to be busy with mid-terms coming up and V returning home within a couple of days. Life is nuts right now and I'm trying to hold it together. Pray I can make it through this semester with my sanity.

Health and Fitness

So over the past couple of months I have noticed my body changing into something I wasn't proud of. I have never really been one of those people who had to work for a good body. That makes me sound bad, or I feel like it does, but it's true - I could eat whatever I wanted and not really have to worry about gaining weight in the wrong places. Even shortly after having V I was pretty much back to my normal pant size and within a month or so you could barely tell I had a baby. But that's changing, I'm getting a pouch on my stomach, and my thighs are getting huge, and let's not even talk about my ass. So unlike some people, I'm not going to complain, instead I have put focus on eating better for more energy, and being able to burn calories while working out. I have started the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels and I am on Level 2 of her work out, after I finish this, I am going straight into insanity.

I'm going to try to keep a record of my body changing over the next little bit until I feel comfortable with what I have. This is my starting point, the day I started the 30 Day Shred. I always feel awkward standing in these pictures! How the heck am I supposed to hold my arms? Haha.

I also had no idea how cheap it was to eat healthier, a lot of people complain about the price of "healthier" food in contrast to I assume "non-healthy" food but honestly I went to the store last night and bought $35 dollars worth of groceries.

As you can see that's actually a LOT of groceries for that price. So don't ever say that eating healthy is too expensive because it's completely NOT true!

Do any of you guys work out and eat right? What's your favorite healthy snack and work out?
