Fun Things :)

So I have decided to do a back to school "What's in my school bag" video as soon as my bag comes in the mail.  The estimated arrival is the 10th and that is far to long to wait!  I am really excited to get it and finally bring it to school (I mean I've been going to school now for over 2 weeks...) 

Oh, I have purchased some things for the 2nd and 3rd place winners of the contest and they will be pleasantly surprised!  I am also trying to find the naked palette by Urban Decay because that is just a darling palette. 

Last night while I was buying my boyfriends birthday present I went on and bought some sigma eye brushes and also some MAC stuff from the Feline Collection so I will be doing a haul video soon along with putting some swatches up here.  I am really excited for the nail polish I got!  I actually just watched a video with AllthatGlitters21 and she bought the same nail polish I picked out and the color on video looks really nice. 

Well I am actually at school right now so I will be going but I just wanted to post a blog with some fun things!

Byee lovies :)

Upcoming Videos

Hey blog,
so i just wanted to give you a heads up and tell you a little about the videos i plan to film very soon.  i think that after i do a massive back to school haul either this weekend or the beginning of next week then i will do an organizational/back to school tips and tricks/what's in my school bag video.  i am a neat freak so hopefully what i film can help all of you who are going back to school whether it be high school or college.  i also want to have another contest but i still need to iron out the details of what i will be giving away and what i want you to do to enter.  i may have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places with 3 different prizes.  all i know is that the 1st place winner will be very happy and will be going back to school with a ton of new things!  the 2nd and 3rd places might be just an "enter me" comment of some sort but the 1st place will have to be a video entry.  anyway when i do my back to school haul i will probably pick up some stuff for 2nd and 3rd place but i have a feeling i know exactly what to get for 1st place.  keep in touch for this contest, i should be announcing it by the end of next week!  ok well that's all the news for now.  byeeee loviessss :)

Day 2 of Shape-ups Review

hi bloggy blog,

Skechers Shape-ups Review

hi blog,
so i decided to go ahead and get the Skechers Shape-ups today and my first impression is that they are really comfortable sneakers that will definitely tone and tighten my legs.  i walked around the house after i got home and i started noticing a difference in how my muscles worked as i just walked normal.  after about a few hours at home just walking around like normal, doing laundry, taking the dog outside, getting the mail, taking out the trash, i noticed that my calves were working harder then they normally would either barefoot or in flip flops (like i had on earlier before i went out and bought shape-ups).   so already there was a difference.  maybe this is the placebo effect and i will have to further investigate this claim but tomorrow i am wearing them to school and walking around campus all day so that may be the test :) the sneakers are super comfortable and the little mini workouts you can do in them while you are standing still are pretty intense if you do them correctly.  the mini workouts feature rocking motions of the feet, either together or opposite movements in an alternating fashion.  the calf muscles are targeted right off the bat and i hope that i feel it in my upper leg and buttocks tomorrow walking around all day.  here are a couple of pictures of the Skechers Shape-ups :)
