Eye Rock Designer Liner

GET IN ON MY J. BELLA GIVEAWAY HAPPENING AT Hart to Heart BLOG UNTIL FRIDAY!

****************************************

So as you all saw from my February Birchbox post I got some pretty fun stuff. The Eye Rock Designer Liner-Instant Eyeliner Tapes was one of them. 

The package says, "Lasts up to 16 hours" (Which I don't go anywhere I would need it more than 3, but the idea is fun to think of) and "Peel and Apply in Seconds" (Which is rather true).

 

I made an attempt to put them on as best I could... my mother never showed me how to put on eyeliner, or much of any kind of makeup really, so to put on eyeliner stickers was a real interesting time.

But, Birchbox was so kind to provide an instructional video on how to put them on. Here 

So after watching this super simple and "easy" to follow video, I decided to give it a try. On a day me and the kids were running late for a family function 1 1/2 hours away. Pardon the really bad pictures.

 

 So when you are running this late, you don't notice how horribly out of focus the camera is... so sorry.

Here is an one eye done. You have to use tweezers to take them off of their packaging. (see below) And yes, that is my un-made bed in the back ground, probably with dirty laundry on it. I would like to imagine clean...

This is what the sticker sheet looks like. A bit intimitdating on their size, but they are thinner when you take them off. But, as seen in the video, they are very long and need to be trimmed. Or not if you want it more dramatic. Like Tracey on Jerseylicious.

This is a super bad picture, but the last chance I had before we left. There is both eyes. And yes, I realized after I was in the car that they were uneven/backwards.

My vote:

Only if a professional does them! I am personally not too happy with a lot of thick make up on my eye, they are sensitive. So about 45 minutes later, I could not rip them off fast enough! But for ladies that like it a little thicker I think you would love them. The idea is really cool. 

Happy Eye Liner Ladies!

Recalculating the Killer Carpet

So as all the world knows, Thursday night at midnight, Breaking Dawn came out. Feathers! Well my sister in law, Rhonda, won 2 free tickets to a 9pm pre-showing. She asked if I would want to go with her, really? That is already answered before I could speak. 

Josh and Steve watched the kids. (We drove down to Logan, UT and spent the night) Rhonda and I had to drive to Salt Lake City for the movie. It was in this really nice newer theater. On the way we used the GPS to make sure we got there as quickly as possible. We were having a great conversation when she shouts, "is that an animal?!?!?!" I say no, it is a person! (Mind you we are on the freeway in Utah, enough said) It was neither an animal or a human being, but a giant roll of carpet taking up the whole right hand lane. We slowly move around it and continue on our way. We then slam on the brakes again for a second roll of carpet. These rolls are big enough to total her minivan. And then just as we start to go, a THIRD roll appears. And the way people were flying around us it was a little scary.

As we were pulling into what I thought was maybe the movies the GPS went in the "blue" section and it did not know where we were. She said it was normal in parking lots but everywhere else it knew where we were.

Well when we got out of the amazing movie we started to try and figure out how to get back to Logan. We went straight when we should have gone right, and there it was, a fourth roll of carpet! Just kidding. But you thought it before you read it. It was a dead end into some construction. Well, we did not know what way to go so I looked at the GPS. "Rhonda, we are in the blue, it does not even know where to go... wait, stop turning you are turning the wrong way, stop!" And then I realized it was the "car' on the GPS trying to turn and because it did I thought we were. It was "recalculating" our route.

If you know me well enough, I always talk about getting a GPS. Now I am not so sure, I probably wouldn't be able to read it. Or probably get a ticket because I would be spinning in circles to follow the mini car on it!

My name is Bethany and I am a Craiglist posting alohlic....

So for the past few weeks I have been staying at home, I have taken upon myself to try and "organize" for the new year. I have 10 unfinished projects.
Part of the organization process involves getting rid of stuff we haven't used, worn or much less looked at in 6 months or so. For Steve, it was his some of his beloved hoodies and baseball caps. He keeps everything so I was very proud of him for getting rid of 10 items. Little does he know of the 20 others I took care of....
I made the decision that since I have been pregnant for almost 2 years, it was time to just get rid of all of my pre-pregnant clothes. All items ranging in size from XS-L. I was just about to donate all of it when I thought about Craiglist. I have no way to do a garage sale, which I love because a couple of dollars for my junk is great to me. So I listed some clothes and within a day had an email. This one girl wanted everything I had in a certain size range. The next day I gave her a garbage bag of clothes for $23. In a small way a rip off, but it was going to be donated anyway. So I now have over 20 items listed on Craiglist hoping someone wants it. I have 45 days on Craiglist and then the ad is removed. If it doesn't sell by then, I will donate it.
What's another month and a half for stuff that was already sitting here? This is one of the easiest things I have done. I am hoping to make a little more money but if not I tried.
We are gearing up to start looking to see if we can find a slightly larger place to live around the same amount of money or a little more. We will be looking in Blackfoot and Pocatello. Part of the reason is we do have room for another baby here, but her dresser would have to be in the living room.
And if anyone is interested, we are trying to find a new home for our 7 year old Chocolate Lab, Molly. She is really great but we are not in an ideal situation for her anymore, or for some time.

My mistake on Eastern Europe!

So Steve's job has been in Salt Lake City, Utah since November, but at any moment he could be shipped to almost anywhere. Nevada, California, Arizona and even Alaska. Right now he has a chance to go to any of them in the next couple of weeks, but he wants to go to Alaska... it's 40 MILES FROM RUSSIA! So I cracked a joke and said on his days off I could come up with the baby and we could go to Europe for cheap since he would be so close. I have never been outside of the U.S. and Steve has. He said, "Honey, you don't get it... if hell was on Earth, it would be Eastern Europe. You don't want to go there." And laughed at me like he could not believe what just came out of my mouth!

How was I suppose to know?!?!?! He proceeded to laugh at me some more and bring the example from the movie EuroTrip to my attention, "Remember when they get stranded in a Russian village and live like kings for a few days off of 40 cents? That was in Eastern Europe."

Thanks to my dear husband I have been set straight and we will not be going to Eastern Europe, ever.
