ipsy.

So, I have recently became an ipster.  What is ipsy?

Ipsy: Each month, subscribers will receive a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Take the beauty quiz to help determine what goes in your bag.

So basically, I  pay $10 a month and get 5 or 6 items in a "glam bag" for me to keep. This is my second glam bag to get.

November Glam Bag:      This is pretty much my bag. Everyone gets the same bag for it to come in. Which is awesome you get a new little bag each month because what girl doesn't need tons of little bags. My November bag is currently being used as an earring bag.  So, lets talk about what came in the bag; Be A Bombshell Cosmetics Eye Base, Elizabeth Mott you're so FINE Eyeliner, J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint, Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder + Mini Fan Brush, Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Volume Shine Hairspray.

Out of all these items my least favorite is the setting powder. Simply because I don't really know what it is used for. The other 4 items I fell in love with. The wonder lip pain its awesome. It works so good and it is a perfect pink color. I ordered more once I used it. I also really loved the eyeliner. It was black and had glitter in it. If anyone knows me they know I love glitter.


December Glam Bag:     This is my December Glam Bag. Once again another perfect little bag. I will probably use this one for things such as brushes and combs since it is so long. In this bag I got Coolway Boost Repair Treatment, Crown Brush Infinity Shadow/ Crease Duet Brush, NYX Cosmetics Butter Lip Balm, Pixi by Petra Fairy Dust, Tarte deluxe lights, camera, lashes. 4-in-1 mascara. I just got this bag yesterday. So far I have only tried the Tarte mascara. I was super excited about getting this because I have been wanting to try the brand Tarte. I love the brush and it worked really well. However, I am excited about trying all the other products.

If you haven't joined the Ipsy craze I suggest you do it. Its $10 a month and you get alot of stuff that you get to keep. Also, if you like the products then they give you coupons for those products.

mid 20's crisis?

Everyone has heard of a mid life crisis, normally happens when people are 50ish. Is there such thing as a mid 20's crisis?

I think there is and I think I am there. I feel like my life is boring and I am stuck in a rut and I need something new and interesting.

Here is a list of things that I think would help my crisis:

1. A dog:I have recently fell in love with Labradoodles but I would also gladly take a shih tzu. 

2. A MAN. Heres my newest slogan for what I want in a man: "Age 21-28, I dont discriminate, as long as he is someone my eyes don't hate" Yeah I just came up with that one night but it works.

3.A car: I love my car. so  so much. It is so cute and sporty and fits me. However, its getting older and it may be time to get a new one. I want either a Mazda CX-7 or a Nissan Rogue or any other SUV. 


4. A new job. Now this is the scariest of the whole list. I love my job but I am stuck at my job. There is no room for moving up and I don't make the best salary. However, looking for a new job means  looking for a new place, as in a new city, to live in. terrifying.

So as you can tell I really have no idea what I want or need for that matter.

BTW: update on my hair, I got it done and fell in LOVE. Its is so perfect and turned out just like the picture. btwbtw: I think that's another sign of my mid 20's crisis, changing my hair color.

fake blonde.

The title makes it seem like I am fake. I am not. I am about the realest person you will ever get. However, my hair color is extremely fake. I am a natural brunette, like medium brown probably. I wouldn't really know though because I have not seen my natural hair color since I was about 12.

I keep my hair heavily highlighted with blonde. In fact, most people think I am a natural blonde. HA fools:)  Sometimes, I think I want to try something different. By sometimes, I mean like maybe twice in my life.

Well, it has come that time again. Tomorrow I am getting my hair done like this:

Okay, so I know this still has blonde in it but it has ALOT more brown then what I normally have. This is the color of my hair normally:

    

See the difference? 

 So, I am having a mini panic attack because both times when I have tried to change from super blonde I have never liked it.  Also, I am using a semi new hair dresser, this will be her third time doing my hair after switching from my life long hair dresser. Y'all pray for me and her! I'm going to cross my fingers and hope I like it.

buzzfeed.

Okay, so I have not mentioned this before but I am obsessed with buzzfeed. I look at buzzfeed articles all the time. I also love the quizzes. Me and one of my friends do the quizzes all the time.

I now know what Disney princess I am, where I should get married, what pet I should have, what frozen character I am, what color I am, which Beyonce and Taylor swift song describe my life, and what late night sitcom I am most like. You know, all that vital information one should know about their selves.

They actually have really good articles too though. Another thing about me that I have not mentioned is that I love makeup. This is where the beauty part of "the beauty and the beer" comes in.  I don't go crazy and buy a ton of make up all the time but I love putting make up on people. Most of the time when the girls are getting ready to go out, my sister has a formal event, or anything like that I am asked to their make up. I love it! I have always said I want to get a cosmetology license in make up and do that as a side job.

Last night, I came across this buzzfeed article and I think it is the coolest little article so I wanted to share. It combines my love for buzzfeed and make up. Also, if you have never checked out buzzfeed before, do it! It's a life changer. Enjoy the article!

last week in a nutshell.

Hello! I know I haven't posted a blog in a little while so I am back on it today. The thanksgiving holiday kept me busy and when I wasn't busy I was enjoying my turkey induced comas.:)

Nothing exciting has happened in my life since my last post. However, I had a thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, Black Friday shopping on Friday, and a thanksgiving dinner on Saturday.

I clarified the Black Friday shopping on Friday because it is not just on Friday anymore. Apparently Black Friday shopping is also on Thursday now, weird. Anyways, I finished ALL of my Christmas shopping Friday. ALL OF IT! That has never happened to me before. Then again I have never really had any money before HA.

Something new in my life. Tinder. LOL yes the dating app. I am so not the type to use a dating website or anything like that. However, I had 2 kinda dates last weekend and both went bad, so I thought why not.

So, Tinder is fun. I mean the only way the people know anything about you is if you both "like" each other. Do I think it will actually help me find a man? maybe, maybe not. Right now, it's all I got. So wish me luck!

horrible bosses.

As I mentioned previously, I am working at my first big girl job. This post is to tell you about my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad boss. Okay, that maybe a tad bit of an exaggeration. However, today I am extremely annoyed by her.

If anyone knows me at all they know that I am extremely punctual. I am early to everything. Actually my biggest pet peeve is being late. With that being said, I am normally the first one to work everyday. It is either me or another lady in the office but we are always early.

Today, was not one of those days. I woke up at 7:47 AM. I have to be at work at 8:00 AM. So major fail on my alarm clock. As soon as I wake up I text my boss and the secretary. Like literally the second I woke up, explaining that I will be late because my alarm was faulty. Also, my room is an absolute disaster zone so trying to find something to wear was pretty much impossible. My hair was in the biggest knots of life.

Somehow managed to find an outfit, threw my hair on top of my head, grabbed my makeup bag jetted out the door. Fortunately, I live like a mile or two from my job. Get to my desk at 8:15. To me that was impressive. As soon as I arrive to work I get an email reminding me of when office hours are.

Now, this disturbed me to no end. I am always early and you are going to say something to me the one time I am late. Actually not even say anything, email me. Then, be overly nice to me when you see me face to face. It also may have disturbed me so bad because it is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break. I already do not want to be here, I want to be on my way home with my family. Then, you are going to rude to me via email. I don't think so.

Needless to say I will be doing ZERO work all day long.:)

the party never stops.

As I  have mentioned before, this girl loves to party. With that being said I spent Friday night in the city partying. I went to a dance club until it shut down, then went to a country dance bar. I went with a group of five people and two other people met us there. However, if you were at either of these places you would think I went alone.

First, let me mention at this second I just noticed a big glob of cheese on my phone? what....

So, let me back up start the night over for ya'll. I planned to  go out, start getting ready at about 6:30 so of course I start drinking. Since I do love partying I have built up quite the alcohol tolerance. Therefore, I start drinking on a mixed drink pretty early. (sidenote: my drink of choice, right now, is Capt. Morgan and Diet Coke, YUM) I get ready by 7:30. I am looking HAWT. I mean not to toot my own horn but I really was. My outfit was on point and so was the eye makeup. So lets talk about the outfit. I do not own anymore club going outfits. Maybe its because I am slightly overweight and have grown out of those clothes, maybe its because I am a professional and got rid of those clothes. I am not sure why I don't, but I still have that one go to shirt.

Since, I am ready now me and the roomie play beer pong and card games to try to get a hard pregame going. We leave for the city at 10 ish and I am feeling great. Drink all the way up there. BTW we had one guy with our group, the rest were girls, this guy does not drink at all. Woohoo! My new DD for life. Go to this new club, fall in love. They played hip hop, dubstep, techno ish music. I dance my little white ass off. I absolutely love to dance. I did not sit out one song, literally danced every second I was there. Also, danced on the stage multiple times because I am that girl.

After this club closes we got to the country dance bar. Naturally they play country music. I danced every second I was there also. Anything from twerking to two-stepping, I didn't care I was going to dance to it. So, needless to say I had a Blast last night.

The Morning after..

I did not get back until 4:30, which is late when you are asleep by midnight every night. I wake up at 10:00 am. I am dead, craving water, can not move. Finally I get around go get me a Mcchicken from Mcdonalds, my go to hangover food, and large water. That helped a little but as I am walking around the house I notice my body is sore. My knees are aching, my butt hurts, my thighs are tight. I am legit sore everywhere. So I will spend the remainder of my day laying in bed drinking my weight in water, feeling like death.

I do  not think I am too old to go out but maybe I just can't go as hard as I use to which really makes me sad. However, I think I would rather not go as hard then to be this sore again, ouch!

and back to the cheese, no idea where it came from or what else I don't remember from the night. LOL

small rant.

Dependent. I hate that word, I hate being dependent on other people. Well unless its my family of course. However, this morning I am extremely dependent on anyone but my family.

My car broke yesterday. I have no idea what is wrong with it all I know is that it won't start. I live in town 100 miles away from all family, I have no boyfriend, and I do not have any male or female friends that really know anything about cars. The guy I am "talking" to seems a logical answer for help, right? Nope, knows less about cars than me, cool.  I mean I am in a college town. No one at college really knows anything besides go to class, call mom or dad for help.

I am legit looking into taking auto mechanics classes online or something just so I know  a little about cars.

So my questions is.... If everyone of us has grown up in a world were pretty much everyone drives a vehicle, why are we not taught more about them? Has learning things from your dad, that he learned from his dad really stopped or did our dads stop learning. How do I know so  many males that do not know anything about cars? I hate to place this all on males, because I would love to know stuff about cars as well.

Anyways, the past two days and probably the rest of the week I will be alternating between coworkers to see if anyone can give me a ride to and from work. :/

tuesday top 10.

So, as you know I am extremely new to blogging. I see where alot of bloggers do a Tuesday Top 10. So i have decided to one on my favorite TV show series. Also, me and my friends like to assign characters in a show in our group. Therefore, I will be telling who I am in most of the shows.
Here they are in no particular order:

1.Greys Anatomy: McDreamy, McSteamy, and Jackson Avery make the show worth watching on its own. I am on season 10 now and I really am impressed with that many seasons they still keep the story line interesting.

2. Scandal: I just started watching this show on Netflix. Finished all 3 seasons on there. LOVE IT! I hate all things politics but this makes it kind of fun to see what snakes they are behind the scenes. I would love to say I am Olivia Pope but lets be honest is there really another Olivia Pope out there?

3.One Tree Hill: I have watched this series probably 2 or 3 times. Its amazing. Everything about it. In this series, I am Haley. This is why a friend told me I was Haley "haley is FUNNY. but she is also super caring. she gets along with just about everyone & if you mess with her people she will hurt you." So, I like that description because it obviously makes me seem awesome.

4.Gossip Girl: I have watched this series once, but think I am about to rewatch. I love S&B. Sometimes, I feel like I am Serena (with ALOT less money)

5.Pretty Little Liars: This is show is so creepy and cool. I love the characters, especially Hannah. That is me in the series btw. This show is one that I have dedicated Tuesday nights to with me, a TV, and my friends. We always get together and watch it. I think because we all fit in the roles so well.

6. Sex and the City: What girl doesn't love SATC?! I mean c'mon it has the perfect amount of sex, alcohol, friends, men, and life lessons. My ultimate wish list Christmas present is the complete set of the series. If you haven't seen what it looks like, Google it. Its beautiful! I am the Samantha of the show. :)
                                btw- They have a show on Netflix "The Carrie Diaries" its about Carrie as a teenager and if you are a SATC fan I think you will love this show too.

7.Laguna Beach: Why? because everyone loves LC. I cant tell you how many times I have watched this series. I wish it was on Netflix. Plus, I have been told a couple of times I resemble Lo. That's probably just because both of our eyes are too close together tho, not because I am actually that pretty. LOL

8.90210: the new updated one, not the one from the 90's.  The show is so glamorous but has all your typical teenage drama. Naomi is hands down my favorite character. All of the other girls get on my nerves at some point for an extended amount of time. Also, literally every character on the show is gorgeous. I wish I was a Naomi, but I am probably more like an Annie.

9. Friday Night Lights: I think the reason I liked this series so much is because it is based on small town living, where everyone's life is about one sport. That is the environment I grew up in, small town, everyone played/cheered/supported one sport.

10. Greek: I honestly do not know why I love this show so much. It is very simple, not a whole lot of drama or story to it. However, I find myself re watching episodes frequently. Even stranger, I was not involved in Greek life in college. I would consider myself to be either Ashleigh or Rebecca Logan, and yes I know they are complete opposites.

Honorable Mention: I would like to mention the show Hellcats. I LOVED this show, it was another I took time out to watch with my friends every week. It would have made it on to the list had it had more than one season. If you have never watched it, you should check it out.

friends.

This morning my mind can't stop thinking about friends. In life you are lucky to get a handful of good friends. I have had a lot of friends in my life. I make friends really easy, people like me. Those true, ride or die, best friends are hard to come by.

So my question is what makes a friend a TRUE friend? I think that is a case by case study, not one definition. In my case, I have 4 people in my life that I consider true friends, ones that are there for the long haul.

Two of these friends are from high school. After high school we all went our separate ways and rarely see each other. We are lucky to see each other once or twice a year. However, I know at the drop of a dime I could call them and they would have my back for just about anything and I would have theirs. Sure, I may not know all the details of their lives but whenever we get together we pick up right were we left off.

The other two ride or dies I met at college. These two I get to see a lot more often, we are always trying to plan things so we get together. These two are my soul mates, they get me, they are me. It is actually strange because if you were to put the two together and make a person, it might actually make me. LOL. These two just get me through life in every aspect.

Then, I have other friends who I consider really close girlfriends. Are they my TRUE friends, there for me whenever? I don't know. That is scary to me. How can I consider you a close friend but not know if you would be there for me when I needed it. How much bullcrap of mine can you take and how much bullcrap of yours can I take before the friendship becomes an acquaintance. I don't think there is a definite answer and I don't think the friendship will always end. However, I think its rare to stay close friends with someone who can't be considered a true friend.

Another reason I consider those 4 people my best friends till the end is because we have got in some hellacious fights, HATED things the other has done, but I never went thinking I do not want to work this out with this person. I always knew no matter what we were going through I wanted to make it through. So, I guess I am going to end with this quote I saw on a Meme.

Good friends care for each other. Close friends understand each other, But True Friends Stay Forever.. beyond words, beyond distance, beyond time..!

First time for everything.

So, I have decided to write about my daily life. The most random, stupid things happen to me and I think surely this can NOT happen to anyone else. Therefore, I wanted to share and maybe some people can relate to my weird "luck".

I graduated college almost a year ago and now have a "big girl job". I hate it but its awesome. I hate it because I was really good at college, I mean REALLY good. I love it because I now make big girl money. :) Money aside, this has been a hard, weird transition. Most of the time I think its due to me being in my early twenties and Super Single. Also, all of my friends except like one are living their fairy tales out with boyfriends and husbands. Meanwhile I am over here looking for the next party but trying to make it to work by 8. 

That is just an overview of me and I can't wait to share more about the randomness of beauty&beer.
