The Big Top Circus with Miss Kendall

Scott and I took Kendall to the circus for the first time, and she loved it.  Kendall being the shy person that she can be at times, she was a little leary of what was going on at first.  We had told her that she would see Elephants, cotton candy, and other animals there.  She loved seeing the elephants and the miniature horses.  She kept calling the miniature horses, Sweetie Pie, which is the name of my dad's newest puppy.  After a good night of entertainment, Kendall just pooped out on the way home.  She had a blast!!!!!!!!!

Beauty Corner-Lipsticks

My new found obsession is makeup preferably lipsticks.  It all started with wanting to find a good nude lipstick to wear during the spring.  The newest trend are lipsticks that are the color of your natural lips but with a little gloss on top.  I have experimented with a few, and plan to try just a couple of more, but nude lips go with any outfit and is a great everyday color for your lips. 

Next, I wanted a plum lipstick.  Not too plum, but enough color for you to tell that my lips were plum.  I like this color when I wear colors like grey, white, or black because it brings just a little color to the entire outfit.

Then of course, I had to find a cute pink color for the spring.  On days that I’m not feeling too upbeat, I can throw on some pink lipstick and perk up my look even if I’m not feeling the perkiest. 

I see so many models and celebrities who wear all shades of lipsticks, and it makes me think, “Hey, I can do that too!”  I have built up a little collection, and I don’t always get the expensive lipstick either.  Drugstore brands like Revlon truly have good quality lipstick that moisturize your lips and stays on for a few hours.  The key thing to remember when shopping for lipsticks is to get shades that compliment your skin tone.  Just because Halle Berry wore it, doesn’t mean that you can.  You have to get what fits your skin tone and your look.  There are thousands of shades out there, so you just have to find with what works for you.  Have a little fun experimenting!  It’s what being a girl is all about.

Below are pictures of me on my lunch break at work just being silly in different shades of lipstick.

Sunday's Best plus Kendall in her night attire

I've been working with Kendall to put her hands on her hips.  She is just too cute or as we call her, "Hot Stuff"  lol

Kendall in her Dora nightgown and socks also in her bunny pjs.  She actually asked me to take her picture, which shocked me totally.  Her new thing now is taking the pictures versus me taking pictures of her.  My baby girl is so curious and independent that I see her being the photographer here real soon.

Dylan Baby Shower

My co-workers threw Dylan and I a baby shower.  It was really, really nice of them.  We had snacks all day and enjoyed some cake that afternoon.  Dylan got lots of cute gifts that he will really enjoy once he gets here.  I just really appreciate my team, and it's a real blessing to work with such supportive people.

 

Most Beautiful Person of the Year

I am really happy that Lupita Nyong’o received People Magazine's Most Beautiful Person of the year.  I just think she is truly beautiful inside and out.  Her skin is so smooth, and she is rocking that short haircut.  I think that we in society get so caught up in this bubble of what beauty is.  Beauty in my definition is confidence.  We are so quick to say that the woman that is lighter-skinned with long hair and a face full of make-up is beautiful.  Lupita breaks that mold, and I love that.  Beauty comes in all shades and doesn’t require a head full of hair.  It requires knowing who you are, not caring what others think, and confidence in who are.  These are all things that I plan to instill in my Kendall.  She is beautiful not because her daddy and I say so…..not because society says so…..but because SHE says so.

Congrats Lupita!!!!!!!!

Silly Faces-Tuesday....33 Weeks and counting!

Just me being silly on my lunch break.  I'm 33 weeks as of Tuesday.  I meant to take a belly picture, but the day got away from me.  I will coming up soon.

Kendall just came up to me and said, "Mommy, take my picture!"  I was shocked because it can be such a hassle just trying to get her to look at the camera at times.  Any who, I made sure to get a few silly pictures of Miss Kendall.
