COVERGIRL Clean Makeup Review

Have you found a make up that has been with you for years? I have. Since I first started wearing make-up I have always picked the same brand. Cover Girl. I, at times had very sensitive skin, and everything would break me out. I don't like wearing too much or thick make up. Cover Girl has always been there for me.
Cover Girl now has the Clean Makeup line. It is lightweight coverage, perfect for me. I love the way my face looks as if I have nothing on. It is great coverage that lasts.
If you don't know what shade you are, you can take a quiz. I wear 120, Creamy Natural in the liquid. Classic Beige in the pressed powder. Take the test here.

Progress Report month#1

So many of you know I have been engaged. And due to many circumstances like money, work, my weight etc....we have not planned our wedding. But this year I am getting married. On December 31, I made the decision that I was waiting any longer. This year was not passing us by. I made many decisions from that one decision. One of the decisions was to start doing something about my weight. My sister in law and I went to our local YMCA that we use to be members of. We reopened our accounts and updated our membership. That was the first step. The next step was actually sticking to what I said. So I talked to my wonderful fiancee, and we worked out a schedule. He is being so supportive. I have had so many excuses like I have to stay late to get catch up, or my son and school work. I will no longer have any excuses because rain or shine I am in that gym working out. I will tell you that this month did not start as smooth as I thought it would have been. The first week I did have to work late and never made in to the gym. Luckily there was a mix up in the paperwork and I would off not been able to get in anyways. But I worked out at home and started eating better. I lost 6 lbs. Week two I made it. The first day I worked out was the begining of my committment. That day I worked out and came home. I actually was in so much pain that night I did not sleep. Day two was not as good either. I was so sore from day one. I didn't sleep day 2 either. But I kept going and it kept getting better. I take breaks when I have to, stop when I can't go any further, but keep pushing to make it through every class. I work out for two hours every day, Monday-Friday. I pack my clothes, and after I leave work, I go straight to the gym. No u-turns, no pitt stops. Trust me, when I say, it is not as smooth as it sounds. Leaving work with stuff plied on top of other stuff, people trying to talk to me, emergencies coming up, etc... is has to do. But I am a happier person ever since I started working out my stresses in the gym. I actually have fun. And I am not alone. I have a great support system. My bestfriend and sister in law workout with me. And I have great trainers ready to kill me and get me back in shape. For two hours I belong to them. There are days that I have to workout on my own and those days are long and hard. But I keep seeing me walking down the aisle in my dress and i keep pushing it harder. No pain, no gain right, or something like that. I lost 3 lbs. I made it to week 3 and I hit a slump. So my fiancee took me to a place called My Fit Foods. It is like Nutrisystem. They have cooked food to help out in your diet and healthy eating. I went in openend minded because I felt I was eating right already. Well I wasn't. I am up from 6 am get hom until 8 p.m. and I only was eating in the bottom half of my day. I signed up for the 21 day program and I love it. The food taste great. This week I lost 4 lbs. Yeah I made 1 month. This will be 8 day on My Fit Foods and I lost another 3 lbs. I am happy with my progress. I am eating better. I am getting healthier. I am losing pounds. I can't see it yet but others can. My fiancee saw it two weeks ago. But I guess I am pushing for more. My goal is to lose 30 lbs before my wedding in September. Month 1 is over and I am committed to finish. I have had many temptations but I keep focused. It is hard to just say No sometimes but it was saying Yes that made it this bad. This is my progress report.
Do something.
Start today.
Grab a friend.
Do it for yourself.
Set a goal.
Achieve that goal.

Soft Scrub Total

Are you busy and on the go? I am. Wedding planning is taking a toll on my very wonderful schedule I follow. Life gets complicated sometimes and it doesn't flow as you would like. Here is a perfect tool for moms who need just a little short cut, per say. It is so simple and easy to use.

Let me introduce you to a NEW Soft Scrub product that is making my life easier. And who doesn't need easier.

Soft Scrub Total is perfect for the entire bathroom. It does the job by cleaning and then it leaves it smelling clean as well.

full-coverage spray or deep-cleaning foam, both
You can use it as a spray or a foam. I love to use it as a foam. Foam on for a couple of minutes, and when I am ready to rinse,and wipe down, the work is done for me.

Scrub Total's unique trigger even sprays upside down.

I have three bathrooms to clean. With the New Soft Scrub Total it was so easy. I sprayed in big areas like the bathroom tiles, and just rinsed down afterwards. In the sinks, I used the foam action. I foamed, and wiped. Next I moved to the toilet bowls, and tubs which I foamed. On the toilet I used the upside down feature. It was great no more hurting my hand trying to get the grime out. Foam it away. My fiancee noticed the wonderful clean smell that Soft Scrub Total leaves behind.

Wedding Songs, and more...

Who said big girls don't cry? Cause we do!

It amazes me how emotional I can get over my wedding. Listening to music, the words of a song that say everything you wanted to say, is so moving. That is why I love music. It expresses something about us that no-one else can hear only when music is played.

In a wedding music is important. There are those moments where words are no use but music does the talking. There are the prelude songs, processional songs, the bride entrance song, interlude songs, recessional songs, postlude songs, first dance song, mother-son song, father-daughter song, cake cutting song, and the last dance. Yes, you may not have thought about this before but last night we did.

I know what song will be the bride entrance song because it is one that moves me. See that is exactly what music does. It moves us. Here are some of the lyrics to the Rascal Flatt song, God Bless the Broken Road I will be playing at my wedding:

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Now tell me that doesn't move you. I cry when i hear the song. We have seen Rascal Flatts in concert and we have danced to this song. It says exactly how I feel. I sing it in his ear as we dance, and it's like i hear it for the first time, everytime. The words just flow as so do the tears.

See as life pass me by, this moment seem not to be in my future and I was fine with that. And now that it is here I now this is exactly what I wish for.

The first dance, after you have promised to live your life together, the world is all yours. He holds you in his arms and you dance. I love to dance. I have always been a dancer since I was younger. Another love in my life. Dancing puts words to songs sometimes. When the music plays you move as the song plays. The first dance is that dance that says here we are, just us, me and you, we did it. Wooh, we .... did... it! I ask my fiancee what was our song. I didn't expect an answer as quick as he gave me one. See my fiancee like most guys tells me whatever you want to everything. But for the wedding he is not getting away with this. I am making him make decisions as in everything we do. Some way or another, he helps make the decisions, he doesn't know. He played the song and it was so moving. Again I cried. Because he is not the type of person who expresses himself out loud. The first time I got an I love you from him, it was like i had won a million dollars. But again like i said music. We both love music. We love the same songs. We both love to dance. And when we dance, it is like it is just us. Have you danced under the moonlight with the person you love in front of a crowd, or just alone, the two of you? I have. It makes the world stop. Just you and him, the music guiding you. As you look into each others eyes, you remember that moment you fell in love. That's the first dance. And my fiancee picked the perfect song. That's why I fell in love with him.
