Shoud I Vlog?

This cold has been just kicking my butt!
And I shared it with Boyfriend Fiancee too.

But I didn't come on here to complain about my cold.
I came on here to say I really really really want to start a new youtube channel for vlogging.
I would like to vlog with Fiancee even thought we're pretty boring just to give me something to do and I think it would be a fun thing for us to do together!

What inspired this?
Erik Conover's youtube channel.
His model girlfriend and him live in New York and it's just about their daily lives. 
What makes it so intriguing?
The couple is relatable and I just can't stop watching his videos.

I would highly recommend checking out his channel, and she has her own channel as well which I've already subscribed too.

Enjoy and stay on the look out for if I decide to start vlogging!

The 2016 To Do List

A lot happened in 2015. I did a lot, I didn't venture out of my comfort zone though.

This year I have compiled a list of things I would like to do!

1. Get a new piercing

2. Get back into shape and start feeling good about my body again

3. Have coffee at home more than going to Blenz (but I love that they know I like my croissant heated there and that I take my coffee black in a to-go cup!)

4. Be more adventurous with cooking.  I stick to chicken and pasta, meatloaf, soup and sandwich while my boyfriend is more adventurous (duck, homemade pizza, stews).  I would like to find some amazing recipes to try out this year!  Maybe I'll make a goal soon, like once a week venture outside my box and post about it (there's a good idea, way to go!)

5. Fold the laundry right away... This is a hard one, as I hate folding laundry (I'm currently looking at a basket full right now)

6. Do a solid purge of my wardrobe.

7. Blog, a lot.  And post one video a week on my youtube channel (I'm cringing)

8. Start planning a wedding.  Ugh.  I bought a wedding magazine, there is a lot to do did you know that?  I don't think it'll happen until 2017 maybe 2018 if it's too overwhelming.  I do love this guy dearly, so maybe we'll end up doing a spur of the moment thing.

9. Visit my niece more.  I'm terrible at this.  I think I've seen her a handful of times since she was born in September.

10. Shop online less. Spend less money on things I don't need so I can buy a house.

What does your list look like for 2016?

The Beauty Lover Tag

There's a great little makeup tag going on over at Bloomin' Rouge and I suggest checking it out!
Here are my answers to the tag:

1. If you could have anyone in the world do your makeup, who would it be?
I think it would be fun to have Mykie from Glam&Gore do my makeup. 
I love her youtube channel, it reminds me of when my brothers and I used to try to do gory makeup for our home movies.

2. What's your top makeup tip?
This is tough.  I just do my makeup everyday and don't really think of any tricks/tips that I do.
Maybe blend.  Blend everything. Eye shadow, blush, concealer, etc Blend.

3. What one makeup item could you not live without?
It's between mascara and concealer...I think the winner is mascara.
It just makes me look more away and opens up my eyes.

4. What one skincare item could you not live without?
Origins Ginseng Moisturizer.
I've been stranded without it before and my skin did not enjoy that.

5. What are you worst at when it comes to applying makeup?
I'm not very good at applying eyes hadow to my crease or applying lipstick.  I think I have no patience.

6. What's your biggest pet peeve when it comes to beauty?
Foundation not matching skin tones.  Cake face.


7. What's your favourite makeup era?
The fifties/sixties

8. What's your guilty pleasure product?
Sunday Riley's Good Genes.  My skin loves this stuff, but it's so hard to stomach the price!

9. What's your underdog product?
The Body Shop All-in-One BB Cream color adapting.  This stuff makes my skin look so good, but it's light weight.  It just helps to enhance my dull skin.

10. What's your favourite makeup product of 2015?
Absolute favorite?  Can I list 3?
Nyx Angel Veil Primer
Benefit Cosmetics Rollerlash
Nyx Micro Brow pencil
...guess I meant four.  Colourpop blush (Between the sheets) 
 
 

Wedding Planning

Where do you even start?

Of course, I am browsing Pinterest for ideas.

But there's the things Pinterest can't solve for you. . .

Who do you invite?

Should we get it catered?

Do we want to get married outside?

Intimate wedding? Big party?

Where should we have it?

The most common question right now is "do you have a date set?"
The answer to that is no.

We have zero ideas.

I have one close female friend, she lives in Wisconsin.  So bridesmaid options are slim.

We both agreed we would like to own a house first, but then he brought up the point that if we got married first we could ask for money for presents towards a house.  So, there's that.

I think lists are going to need to start soon.

Wow, 2015, Wow

Wow, what a year!
While there were a lot of downs this year, a lot happened in 2015 and it was just an incredible year!

First off, I am now engaged and it's so overwhelming and exciting. I can't plan a thing yet, we're too excited.

Boyfriend and I also moved into our first place together earlier in the year, but I think the engagement thing kind of overshadows this one.

We also decided to drive to California and go to Disneyland!  What an amazing trip that was.
It was my boyfriend fiancee's (I'm going to have to get used to that!) first time going there and he loved it.

We had amazing Fall but that came with some down moments for me which I have, thankfully, overcome now. 

We stayed at a beautiful resort up island for my fiancee's birthday. An hour and half of eating and a dip in a mineral pool? I'm up for that anytime.

A little girl entered my life, thanks to my brother and sister-in-law.

And I am just so excited to get to know her more and watch her grow up!

I feel like much more happened this year but these were the highlights.

How did this past year treat you?
Let me know in the comments!
Have a fun, healthy, happy, and safe New Year!
