Tuesday

Pissed off today!



I am so pissed off today! I want to fight and scream and yell. Everything I tried to get done today went down the drain. I tried to record some videos a review and some tags and I erased the memory card with all the footage on it! I couldn't record again, because my son was acting up and it was just a noisy day. I broke out on my face which I know isn't a reaction or hormonal, but from dust! every time I get near any kind of dust my face goes mental and I get tiny little bumps that want to eat my soul starting with my face, so its probably better I didn't post the videos because thats all I noticed while going through the footage.

I made a big mistake in setting up my filming and vanity area in our bedroom. The T.V is in the bedroom and thats where the child is! He doesn't watch much TV, but he just needs to be where it is, thats why I took it out of the living room. When he goes down for a nap my husband who is a music producer/mixer guy starts doing his thing and it gets pretty loud, so I cant film at those times either. ARGHH!! I just want my own space where I could close the door and do my thing just for a few hours.

I know this isn't very interesting, but I needed to get it out of me, there is it.

Kushyfoot Review + Giveaway!! CLOSED


Hello, Beautiful!

I was sent a product for review by a Brand called Kushyfoot. But before we get into the review I want you all to know I am a very slipper and comfy sock wearer, especially during the winter months. So when they contacted me for this review I was like, yes!!  Also I have had a hard time wearing heels since that birth of my son, so getting me into heels has been hard and uncomfortable for me. Now onto the review.


Kushyfoot The Brand

Kushyfoot® was created and brought to market in 2003 by parent company Doris International Inc.

It is the first brand in women's hosiery to incorporate the ancient healing art of Reflexology. All products are exclusively designed to feature a comfortable sole. This is why we add a 3-dimensional padding or "massaging sole" to our products that acts as a cushion between bare feet and the hard insoles of a shoe. The Kushyfoot® sole helps relieve tension and discomfort in achy feet, thereby helping to relieve stress and fatigue throughout the entire body. 

Our goal, at Kushyfoot®, is to fuse comfort and style in harmony to offer our clientele the latest trends in footwear and legwear. We consider ourselves market leaders in providing solution-based styling for all shoes and legwear that will accessorize any outfit.

We believe - and hope you agree - that Kushyfoot® massages your feet with every step™.

First off I want to say thank you to Kushyfoot for your generosity, They have sent me a lot of products to try.


Sport Cotton Foot Cover




Designed to wear with your runners, Keds or canvas sneakers, this foot cover will keep your feet cool and comfy all day long.

I like these for when I want a no show sock, They feel barely there and they are great for walking or running!
















Extreme Low Cut Foot Covers





Kushyfoot® extreme low cut foot covers have invisible sides so they stay hidden at all times. Available in a nude/black combo pack and featuring a:

Padded sole to cushion the ball of your foot;
Heel grip to ensure a stay-put fit every time;
Super stretchy design to fit every foot shape and size.

I love these for wearing flats or heels. Having a nylon feel make them feel barely there. They stay hidden and add a soft pad to my every step.


They also come in a soft lace for even more barely there comfort.




Fleece Tights





For ultra warmth.
Ultra soft fleece tights give you total opaque coverage so you can brave even the coldest of days.
I love these for days when I am wearing a short skirt, they keep me warm and make my legs look great!



















Microfiber Crew





Kushyfoot® soft microfiber crew is designed with Coolmax® to keep you dry and comfortable all day. These have a zigzag pattern on the sol to help the ball of your foot as you walk. These are great for days when you will be on your feet.









Flats to go





These lightweight and ultra portable flats have a soft sole which allows them to be rolled up or folded so that you can tote them in your purse ready for any potential shoe emergency. Designed for indoor use and occasionally on smooth outdoor surfaces. Great for travel too!

I can't even explain how many times I have gone out in a pair of heels and after dinner and dancing with drinks my feet were screaming for a flat shoe and I had to run into the nearest drug store and purchase a cheap flip flop or those Dr. Scholls flat thingies. These are very similar to the Dr. Scholls flats, but these have a zigzag sole that massages your feet as you walk. I know after a night out these will definitely come in handy and keep me happy :) I only wish they came in a cute bag like the Dr. Scholls.











The Conclusion.

I do like these and will continue to use them, anyone who is on their feet most of the day will appreciate them and the comfort they bring to your feet. I can see a Doctor, Nurse, Chef, Postal worker and anyone else who spends their days on their feet even moms like me :)  They have many styles to choose from at the Kushyfoot website http://www.kushyfoot.com/

Dreaming Your Dream



A Dream is a wish your heart makes, so says Princess Aurora in Disney's Sleeping Beauty. 
I believe this is true and I also believe our dreams aren't easy to follow.

Life can surprise us and take us for a loop, turn us upside down and inside out in a second.
If you're still passionate about your dream after all of that, then its worth pursuing. There are times when I question what I do, with so many people asking why do you do this if it serves no purpose to you.

The problem is, they don't see what I see. They don't see my long term goal or my vision becoming a reality.
Are you going to give up on what I want because someone else can't see it? 

Dreaming your dream is what makes it all worth it.
So you keep dreaming little dreamer.

Google +:

I have 285 people in my circles and 316 people have me in their circles. I stopped using G+ since I switched my commenting to Disqus. I do miss it as it helped me see the blogs I follow easier, but the app has changed for me, maybe its a setting I applied I dunno.

Friday

Friday Flakes, Fab & Fails





Hello, Beautiful!

Friday is here again. Is it just me or is this month going by very fast? If you follow me on twitter you would have heard that last night someone tried to come into our home at 4 a.m. This person was obviously intoxicated and got really lost, after the police came and a few hours later I finally got some sleep.It's very gloomy and drizzly here, so I shall go blogging today :)

Friday Flakes, Fab & Fails


FLAKE

COTY AIRSPUN LOOSE FACE POWDER


I have heard people saying that this powder is great for setting concealer and hiding fine lines in the undereye area, but I have to say this was a complete fail and the smell reminds me of a bingo parlor ladies restroom.


FAB


COVER GIRL CLUMP CRUSHER




I  know I have been going on about this mascara, but wow. This stuff is amazing! It separates and thickens up my lashes in a way I never thought possible. I love that my lashes don't get crusty and the drama lasts until I am ready to take it off. This is a definite fab for me.



FAIL


NYC DUO 814B 




I feel that I shouldnt say what I really feel about this product because a child may be reading this. But man this sucks so bad I can't even think about it. The black comes out a soft weathered grey and the white is not even there. There are no other uses for this product except to hold up a rickety night stand. FAIL!

So there you have it my Friday Flakes, Fab & fails.
Do you have any experiences with these products?
Can you give me another reason for the NYC duo? lol.

Beauty Secrets Everyone Should Know



Hello, Beautiful!

When I hear the word secret, the things that come to mind are friends and their dirty little secrets. I mean there has to be someone in this big world that knows that stupid thing you did with you know who long ago. Right? Thank heavens, I thought it was just me :) What if we couldn't trust that person? What if that person decided to spill the beans? How would I handle it? What would I do? The horror!!

Well, thankfully I am at the stage in my life where I just don't care who knows what anymore. I can tell you it's a very liberating feeling. So since we are on the subject of secrets I wanted to share some secrets that I have found around the net pertaining to beauty and makeup. Some of these are tricks of the trade and some just make you go aha! 



BEAUTY SECRETS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW

Skin

Adding that milk of magnesia works best on normal, oily, and combination skin and helps minimize pores, evens out skin tone, and keeps foundation from oxidizing and changing color. I know during the summer months I am going to be doing this for sure.

Lashes

Bring lashes out with gel eyeliner and a lash curler, First, take the lash curler and paint the liner on the sponge area of the lash curler. Wait about 10 to 15 seconds to let the liner dry slightly. Then, place the curler as close to the lash line as possible, hold for a few seconds, and release. After, apply a few coats of clear mascara to finish the look. It creates the perfect full lash and defined lash line but the look is a bit more natural and edgy. This sounds so nice for the days when you want a little something, but don't wanna go all the way.

Lips

Trace the outer edge of the top lip with a highlighter, concentrating the product at the Cupid’s bow and fading out towards the outer edges, a pearled cream highlighter is perfect for creating this effect. I personally do this often as my lips are disappearing as I get older, 

Brows

Dust a bit of translucent powder using a small brush over your brows before setting them with a tinted brow gel, it immediately boosts the brow hairs and amplifies your natural brow shape even if you have fine or thin brows. Then just fill in any sparse areas with a pencil to get the definition you need. I know my powders always enhance my facial hair, so this makes sense to me.

Do you have any secrets to tell? Do share, I promise I won't will tell.

P.S
I am having a giveaway on my YouTube channel! Come by and enter for a chance to win some awesome skin care products from around the world!
