Hey everyone,
Last nite my blog crashed and I lost all my pics on my posts.. After many tears and little sleep, I have decided to not let it get me down anymore and I have spent this evening trying to replace all the lost photos.. I have found some photos on my Facebook and Instagram.. And others I am just photographing all over. And some posts are just being deleted due to no photos or products.. This made me so ill and my wonderful boyfriend was sad with me this morning because he hated seeing me so upset and while I was at work, he tried to fix it for me.. (love him so much)..
So if you are seeing multiple new posts popping up, it is me actually updating my previous posts with the pics that were lost.. Because I refuse to allow my blog to crash and burn. It has become a part of me and I have to keep it going for my own sanity.. Lol ! ! !
Thank you all for following my blog and other social media. I appreciate it more than you will ever know..
Much Love,
XOXO - Lori
Julep Haul
Saturday, December 28, 2013
Hey everyone, sorry I have been pretty quiet this past week. Between work and getting ready for the holidays, I have been so busy. Then on Christmas morning, I came down with the flu and laid around for two days medicated. Went back to work today and decided it was time to get this blog back up and going.
I placed an order with Julep during their Black Friday sale and got quite a bit of nail polish for a really good price. I love Julep nail colors. And all the colors are named after women. They are so pretty and long lasting. I keep my toe nails polished at all times. (Kevin and I have been together for nine years and he has probably only seen my toes unpolished a couple times) If you don't know what Julep is, it is a monthly subscription for $19.99 a month and you get a couple nail polish and other beauty items like face cleanser or hair care products in your Monthly Maven Box. And your first box is FREE ! ! Just use the code - FREEBOX.. If you decide that you don't want your Maven box during any month, you can skip and there will be no charge for the month..They throw a big sale every now and then and If I can get polish on sale, I will usually make a purchase. So if your a nail polish freak like me, this subscription is definately for you.. Here is what I bought during their Black Friday sale: (I know it's really late)
My order total after the holiday discount:

BB -vs- CC cream.. What Is the Difference??
Sunday, December 22, 2013
Is anyone else as confused as I am on what the BB and CC creams are for? I didn't know if it went on under my foundation or was I suppose to wear it instead of my foundation. So I did some research online and asked a lot of beauty gurus to get my answers.
The letters "BB" stand for beauty (or blemish) balm and is used mostly as a tinted moisturizer. The BB cream moisturizes your skin, preps your skin for makeup like a primer does, reduces shine, covers up minor imperfections and contains sunscreen with anti-aging ingredients.
I bought the Garnier BB cream when this all started and absolutely hated it. It made my face so oily. So I figured that I had wasted all my time researching something that I would never use. Then one day I tried the Physicians Formula BB powder and fell in love. I put it on and it covered my face so well. You would think that I had foundation on.
But wait... Now we have this new item called a CC cream.. And everything has now went to new level of the alphabet. What do I do with this or how do I wear it? Does it go over the BB or what? The letters "CC" stands for color corrective and offers much more coverage than the BB, so you can use it as a light foundation. It contains a skin brightening primer, moisturizer and sunscreen and has anti-aging ingredients and sometimes collagen boosters. It also does as it says and corrects your complexion. If you suffer from dark spots or acne, the CC cream will help even out your skin tone.
Well a few days ago I received a tube of CC cream from Studio Gear Cosmetics and I have been wearing it everyday instead of my foundation. I love this stuff. It goes on smooth and makes my face look flawless. I have had two different people at work tell me that my makeup looks so smooth and that is because I was wearing the BB cream. It has micro-encapsulated pigments that deliver a fresh dose of color that adapts to your own skin tone creating the most natural looking coverage. It is a lighweight oil free cream and provides up to 72 hours of continuous hydration.
So what comes next? Will there be a DD or EE cream? I won't make it if they go through the entire alphabet. Lol...
If you are interested in trying out a good CC cream, try the Studio Gear Cosmetics brand. I highly recommend it. Just click HERE to go to their website and when you checkout use code: SGCC for a 10% discount off your entire order..

Peace, Health, Happiness, long life and of course...Love.

OOTD
Sunday, December 15, 2013
Hey everyone, Kevin got up at 5am and spent all day hunting, so I decided to not leave the house and get all the presents wrapped that we picked up yesterday. I was also able to get all my shows watched that I had on the DVR. I just have to say that I was extremely disappointed in Bonnie and Clyde. I seen the original so many times and loved it, and this version was so different. And I am now all caught up on Criminal Minds tho..
