I'm BACKKKKK & DIY Jewelry

I am backkkkkk! I know I've been super MIA for the longest time ever but I am officially back. I totally miss blogging & sharing bits & pieces of my life with you all. I have been well..still planning the big wedding, we've officially set our date 06-16-12!! It's all getting so exciting! He proposed on 12/18/09...and after all of this time, we officially and FINALLY chose a date! It has been definitely a roller coaster ride these past two years financially. A lot of things have changed for us, getting a home, remodeling the entire house & planning for our big event.

Anyhow, enough with the boring talk of my current events in my life, yadie yadie yadie blah blah blah....

here is a post showing what I've been completely obsessed with as of late!

DIY jewelry!

I have been really enjoying making a lot of jewelry lately. It's been so much fun and such a safe, productive, crafty & creative hobby for me. I am currently in the midst of making my sister a bunch of jewelry and will have a couple as a giveaway to my viewers/readers.

Hope you stay tuned & for those of you that still follow me, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart <3

Halloweenie

Howdy folks! Hope everyone has been well! Happy Belated Halloweenie to everyone! My halloween wasn't too pleasant. I spent $87.00 on tickets to a massive halloween party in the city at a club which was 5 stories. I was so eager to attend and especially more so because of the company that I was going to be with. Up until approximately 4 hours before the event kicked off, I began not feeling so well :( runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes! I think I was allergic to my friend's room-mates cats (she has two of them). I took two benadryls in an attempt to alleviate the reaction but it didn't help & it only made things worse because I was extremely sleepy from the medicine. I fell asleep to the club, ALMOST (so close) to falling asleep in the club, and I fell asleep coming home from the club. What a night I tell ya! I did see some really amazing and creative costumes though! What was I by the way? I was a fairy. And by fairy, I don't mean the promiscuous kind in any way. If anything, let's just say that I was completely and entirely overdressed compared to pretty much everyone else in the club. I didn't buy a costume persay, I just wore a dress I had with some fairy wings and accessories. I hope everyone had a great halloween!

I REALLY wanted the MAC Venomous Villains Bite of an apple blush but unfortunately did not make it quick enough to the MAC counter to grab one. I know this was a limited time collection but does anyone know if MAC continues to sell limited time products for a certain amount of time after a new collection has already been released? I REALLY want this blush :(

Fiance and I are in the midst of moving so hopefully once we do, I will have more time to blog and film videos. For space purposes and lighting reasons, I can't update as much and often as I'd like right now. Plus, my schedule at work has been changing and I haven't been adjusting as gracefully as I would have liked.

If anyone is interested in this DIY body harness that you see in the photos above, please leave a comment and I will create a video on how you can make one for yourself!

It's so super easy, quick, and simple! All you need is the supplies :)

Thanks for reading :)
