Do you wear Makeup while doing the nasty?

Okay, I have to admit it. Wearing makeup sets the mood for me when it comes to doing the deed.
I mean I don't feel sexy in sweats and hubbys T-shirt after a day of cleaning, cooking, laundry, kids or anything else the day may throw at me. I have to feel sexy in order to have sex.

I like to prepare myself so that I have some kind of feeling towards it, if not just do what you have to do, I am tired. My husband tells me all the time how beautiful I am etc.. But I have to feel these things about myself before I can convey any of my instincts to him. Maybe I am crazy?

Makeup does this for me. I can be seductive, Sultry or any of those other "S" words.

Now I am not saying I have to look like them, But I do want to feel empowered like them.

Looking beautiful is one thing but feeling it, puts you on a whole other level and makeup gives me that.

Full Faced, Falsies and all C'mon hubby lets go to bed.

3 reasons your not getting comments

You write a post and expect some comments even if they aren't good, something is better then nothing!

And then it happens absolutely nothing, the crickets are louder then your comments.

Don't think it's your post! Don't think it isn't worthy of a comment! 99% of the time is it, except they cannot leave you that comment because they don't want to be signed up to another social media thingy.

I don't blame them. How many of us blogger owners has a wordpress account? be honest! 

I know I don't or maybe I do but I promise you I forgot the password.

This is a list of things that throw off comments from good blog post. 

Registered Users Only Allowed to Comment

WTF? We are on the interwebs people!! We are not supposed to be in little boxes. 

Allowing people to tell us who can and who cannot comment on your blog posts.

Only allow people with Blogger or Google accounts to comment

I want to reach a broader audience! Not just my Google+ followers. And I don't want me sharing my post to be my first comment! No body wants to comment on their own blog post unless its a reply!!

Comment Moderation

What happened to freedom of speech? Your going to shut me up before I say anything? I understand people want to keep the vulgarities and the bashing to a minimum, But lets be honest if you can't take a good bashing, Why do you blog? Why are you out there for the world to see? Comment Moderation should be used after the offence is committed not before.

Captcha boxes

I just don't like it.

I disabled google+ comments, anyone is free to comment.

How to you feel about the Commenting System, Captcha boxes, Comment Moderation?

When do you wear false lashes?

I was in a blogger forum today and someone asked "when do you wear false lashes?" And it struck me, I wear falsies a lot! I didn't always, but I sure do love me some lashes now.

I wear them when I want some extra flare added to my eye looks, I love dramatic eyes! I bought some lashes off of Ebay a few years ago when I first started wearing falsies, they came all the way from China so it took forever but I loved them even though I didn't see them yet.

When they arrived they were plastic! And in order to wear them I had to soak them in makeup remover to get the unglued from the packaging! It was hilarious but I loved them anyway.





False Lashes can get very expensive, even at the drug store the lowest I have seen were from $4.99 to $7.00 a pair. I hated buying them. 1. I am a cheap ass. 2. One time wear ain't worth no $7.00 if I don't have a special occasion to attend.

I learned the difference between human hair and plastic lashes, I learned how to preserve my lashes for future use, I even learned how to split one pair of lashes in two for a nice cat eye looking lash. But I could never pay that much for them!

On a trip to L.A, My sister and I went downtown for some shopping. This place is like a circus, anything and everything you could ever want is within a 6-8 block radius. I asked if there were any beauty supply shops in the area and we were lead down the street. 

This place was no bigger then a walk in closet, with the walls covered in lashes!! They had the largest selection I had ever seen!! I was in heaven, so many styles and colors it was truly amazing and the best part is they were only $1.50 a piece!! These lashes are exact dupes for Wild Cherry Lashes.

I picked up about $40.00 worth and by the time I gave some to the girls I still had enough to last me a whole year! I repurchased another bag full at a swapmeet in Vegas. And I never paid full price for lashes again!

So to answer the question, I wear lashes all the time.

Do you wear falsies?

Blogger and Google+ Monopoly

I have been on a mission with my blog concerning comments. I want everyone to be able to comment on my posts not only google+ users. This has been a fight to the finish and alas Google+ has won. For now.

I fought with this widget for 3 hours today, I tell no lies!
I editing code, changed my template, went through blogger and around blogger and still nothing.

Google+ is making it very hard for anyone with a blog through blogger to comment through anything except Google+

What if I hate Google+? What if my readers hate Google+? Are they expecting us to convert people and force them to sign up for a Google+ account?

Now fair! And I will see my way around the monopoly Google has on this commenting system.
I changed my setting in the comments to remove google+ comments and they were all erased, so I had to add it back to get my comments back. What's up with that?

Also I added my site to feed burner, there is life out there beyond Twitter, Facebook and Google+.
I also added my blog to feedly, there is a follow button somewhere on this blog maybe to your right.

I have been excepted on the shespeaks network, it is supposed to be good for bloggers but it doesn't allow you to import your blog to the site like Lucky or Glipho. I Think two blogs is enough.

Disqus.com

Feedburner.google.com

Feedly.com

Shespeaks.com

Luckymag.com

Glipho.com

What happened to the Google join this site button on your blog?

Have you been wondering what happened to the Google join this site button on your blog?

I don't know why they (Google) hid this gadget, when in my opinion this little gadget helps blogs show up in your blogger feed. this gadget is just as important as a Bloglovin button.

Well its still there, just in a different location.

Today I am going to show you where Blogger hid one of our favorite widgets.

1. Head over to your menu in blogger.

2. Go to The layout tab.

3. Go to the More Gadgets tab.

4. Scroll to the bottom of the first page and there she is in all her glory!

Add the gadget where you want her on your blog and your ready to go.



If you like this post let me know, I will create more helpful post like this.
If you are having problems or need a solution let me know, I am always here.

Would you stop wearing makeup?

Amber Heard
was seen walking her pet pooch on the streets on N.Y wearing no makeup at all and this is all I have been hearing about in the news.

I wear no makeup all the time where are the cameras? Where is a paparazzi?


Okay, okay I am no Amber heard but, I can dream!!

Is this a new trend going around?
Going from the no makeup look to actually wearing no makeup?

I think I would cry. I do understand trends come and go, but I truly love wearing my shadows and blushes, not to mention contour and highlighting.

I don't think I would want to go barefaced even if I had a flawless face like Amber's. Would you stop wearing makeup?

Amber Heard is a devoted fan of the Suki line of skin care products, created with natural beauty in mind. “I love how lightweight Suki tinted moisturizer is. When working, I often have to wear heavy makeup, so in my day to day life Suki products give my skin a much needed break and flawless glow,”

So my question to you all is:
If you had perfect skin would you give up wearing makeup?
What do you were on your no makeup days?

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
