Pretty in Pearls ~ Freshwater Pearl Earrings

Pretty in Pearls
*Thanks to Pearl&Clasp for sponsoring this post. 

          If you've ever been to a wedding you know it's not polite to look better than the bride, or wear white for that matter haha. But if you're single you want to put your best classy self forward and what better way to give off that sexy classy vibe than a pair of pearl earrings. These freshwater pearl earrings I wore from Pearl&Clasp  are sure to impress. After all, aren't we all secretly wanting that prince charming on a white horse to ride off into the sunset with? Ok maybe I'm getting carried away, or maybe it's time to buy my boyfriend a white suit and a horse hahaha.

          I wore these for a full day which included taking photos in the desert heat, doing a cardio workout and sweating like crazy, and also going out that afternoon to run errands and get food. I can never wear earrings because I am extremely sensitive and I end up with really swollen ear lobes, so trust me I really put these to the test. I was pleasantly surprised that my ear lobes were perfectly fine and not swollen at all. I didn't have a reaction at all. I was so excited to be able to wear a nice pair of earrings. If you decide to buy a pair I can tell you the price won't break the bank. I chose to wear pink because, well, I'm obsessed with pink!

          Pearl earrings are made to be a statement. Anyone who has ever worn pearls emits a radiance of confidence. The best thing about pearl earrings is that it can fit any age. You can receive them as a little girl and wear them on your wedding day. Because they never get old! This also makes the perfect gift for any woman. I have to admit that I have always been a fan of wearing pearls since I was a child. It always made me think of Disney's Little Mermaid. I can't wait to wear these on a date night with my honey! It's time to bring classy and sassy back. (Cue the winky eyed emoji haha).

          I was so excited to have received these earrings and fulfill my secret love for pearls, but what I found to be even better than just putting them on is how they made me feel. I felt very feminine and girly (almost delicate), and the way my boyfriend looked at me all day was the greatest feeling. He gave me those (I can totally see you being my wife eyes). I would love to hear your thoughts on pearls, if you have any, and how they make you feel? As always, thanks for stopping by!

FYI: Pearl&Clasp also provides restringing services for your Pearls at an affordable price. 

This was my co-model for the day! His name is Hercules!
That smile was his approval of my loo haha.

I felt so pretty and feminine.. 

Close enough? haha

I felt like Lisa Vanderpump from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
I love her classic look.

See you next time!

Lip Plumping Review !

Lip Plumping Review

No matter what your age is, we all seem to want fluffy luscious lips! 

I went to Ulta for Mothers Day and I had a list of screenshots of products I wanted to try. I did a little research as to what the internet was saying the best products out were and you know the internet is always right haha. So I cleansed my face and put some under eye cream on for my puffy eyes to prepare for this epic before and after. Ok, maybe not that epic.. ?

(Not a sponsored post. But that would be cool lol) 

I bought all products below from Ulta. The gloss I used was Pillow Plump Lip Gloss. 

So far I really like this Cleanser from Ulta and eye cream I picked up at Walmart. Especially when I come out of the restroom and my boyfriend says, "did you put makeup on"? I mean does he want me to cry tears of joy and make the eye cream look like a liar? hahaha 

This was my before pic prep.

Finally! The Epic Moment! 

Ok, so I don't look like Kylie Jenner with a huge pout, but I did like this Pillow Plump Lip Gloss. My lips were seriously tingling for about 25 minutes. This photo is a 20 minute difference. My lips didn't get huge but I did notice that all of my little fine lines had gone away and there is a slightly noticeable plumping effect to my lips. This is perfect for a night out or special occasion to have some youthful looking lips. You never want to look like you're trying too hard so this would be perfect. What do you think? 

Next? They ran out the day I went, but I want to do a review on Two Faced Lip Injection lip gloss. I just think my lips are too small so eventually I will opt for fillers. 

If you enjoyed this post. I would love if you saved/heart it on Bloglovin! 

Day after Christmas Sale PART 2

Day after Christmas Sale Part 2!!

Please keep in mind that I didn't post all pictures because it will spoil the surprise for next year. I can't believe I did so well! I got Christmas wasted hahaha! I think I was high on Peppermint hahaha! Before I would walk in the store I would tell my boyfriend, "the sales better be so good they offend me. mmm." haha! He was smiling the whole day from ear to ear watching me go crazy haha. Did I mention this is the first year I have done the whole Day after Christmas Sale thing?! 

This was how we decorated around the fire place. :) 

You read that right honey. Some of the gift bags I got were about .34 cents. (No Joke). Those $10 stockings? I got them for under $3 ! I went c-c-c-c-crazy lol

I never thought the dollar store would have a sale! I mean why would they? Everything is already a dollar! I can't show the stocking stuffer/odds and ends gifts for next year but I got each item for .50 cents! My boyfriend and I are currently attending college so we're on a budget, but honestly budget or not this is a great way to save and spend. Maybe going to church has made me more humble? 

My boyfriend was looking for certain items and I really thought I was going to hope he would hurry so I could continue my shopping craze but then there it was... An entire rack of Christmas items! 60% off? Most of my items were $1 ! Ay chihuahua!

I didn't do as well at Walmart but it was late and it looked like I was beat to the finish line because there wasn't much left. The gift sets above were only $1.75. Holy Moly! These gifts will be for the mailman, the men who pick up our trash, my son's hair dresser, etc., etc. :D

I looked everywhere for a nativity set. The ones that were left were not my style. :/ This one shown above was the one from the thrift store! It is a glass nativity set and it goes perfect with our crystal cross! 

A FEW TIPS FOR SHOPPING THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS-

1. HAVE IN MIND WHAT YOU NEED! DON'T BUY WHAT YOU DON'T NEED!

2. MAKE A LIST OF THINGS YOU NEED IF THE SALE IS GOOD ENOUGH TO OFFEND YOU! EX: POTS AND PANS OR THAT NAME BRAND PURSE YOU CAN ONLY SPLURGE ON ONCE A YEAR. 

3. SOME OF THE ITEMS I BOUGHT WERE EVEN CHEAPER WHEN I CHECKED THE PRICE. ITEMS DON'T ALWAYS GET MARKED PROPERLY!

4. ADD YOUR TIP HERE!............ WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU ADD TO THIS LIST! I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW! 

Day after Christmas sale part 1!

So... Since I've been M.I.A. since my son's surgery, it's given me time to think. I love blogging dammit. I don't do it for the money (haha excuse me while I die of laughter thinking you can get paid for just writing your thoughts). This is my hobby, my therapy, my way out. Anyway I'll leave this for a later post. Now to the important part. DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS SALE! I know I did it right because I can't walk today my feet hurt so bad. I'm going to detail where I got, and what I got that had me Christmas Wasted! Haha! Yes I said Christmas Wasted! I felt high on peppermint! Omg I'm laughing so hard. I have taken more time than ever to concentrate my energy in thanking god that my son is alive and well and I get to enjoy these things with him while he smiles and laughs and says, "oh mom". Anyway, I literally bought gifts and gift bags for next year! 12 months early! Who does that?! Oh yah, me... I want to be organized and clear so this is just a heads up that I'm getting back into sharing. I love blogging and this new year means a new me. I will concentrate on me and my family this year. If you're reading this stay tuned for some realness headed your way. I don't plan to hold back this time. Did I mention my boyfriend and I are still college students on a budget? My ultimate goal is to be a Special needs teacher and I'm currently in the credential program. (Also leaving this for another post). SSSSOOOOOOOOOOO...... DID YOU SHOP THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS?

My weekend. .

Where do I start really? Ok well its the weekend of my little sisters 18th birthday party and I'll share with you some of the pics I took this weekend. I was as sick as a dog this weekend and I realized I was sick last year almost to the day with the same exact thing (whats up with that?). Anyway it's Monday and I'm still sick but what can I do. I already went to the doctor so all I can do is take the meds and rest. (Yah right, Im working later for a couple of hours :/ Ok so here are the pics! Enjoy!

Of Course you can always count on the wind

No matter how old you are you can count on a mexican 

household to smash your face in your cake for your birthday. Even
