Weekend Family Friendly Entertainment

Weekend entertainments for the family can be a little troublesome during the summer time. I love ice skating and winter sports during the colder weather, but things are a little more difficult when it gets really hot outside. For the past weeks, I've been spending more time with the little kids watching television. They are crazy about Netflix - and I can see why. My recent watches list has been filled with children television shows. They have a lot of newer children shows as well the as television shows I watched a kid. The listed shows really make me reminiscent my childhood days.

Watching movies and television used be a lot different when I was younger. You have to visit the movie store to get movies, and you could only pick out one or two movie at a time. In order to catch your favorite television shows, you have rush home after school or record things on your VCR. Everything is a lot more convenient now, with Netflix and readily delivered movies and online television.

My family loves watching Netflix on weekends with large bags of popcorn and candy treats. I love to wear face masks and relaxing beauty goodies during movies nights. It is the perfect, safe and comfortable relaxation night. The kids love watching Disney shows like Pocahontas. I love them as well. Whenever they put on a show I have already seen or don't enjoy as much, I proceed to apply nail polish or do some other routines. No matter the choice, there seems to be a lot of fun involved in movie night!

Three Random Makeup Brush Containers

You don't need to splurge on makeup brush containers simply because you probably have a few great ones just sitting around your house. A cup, a mug, an empty bottle: if it fits, it sits!

My trusty pen holder is still an active pen holder, but it does a good job of being a brush holder as well. A little scrubbing and it can become the perfect brush holder. If you are looking for a little cushion to raise your brushes higher or stand straighter, add some beads, marbles or even uncooked rice grains.

I stuff dirty brushes into this little CVS tin can I had leftover from a Christmas project. I chose a small case to remind myself to wash my brushes often - but as you can see, I have been very lazy! On the right is a "pill" multipurpose container previously used for cotton balls. I ordered it from ModCloth a while back and it has since been one of my favorite nerdy Pharma/Chem case.

Fashion Friday: Little Gold Ring Collection

I have an ever growing obsession with little gold rings. These rings are wearable, versatile and timeless. I don't make a habit of collecting them, but I constantly find myself pulling out my wallet whenever I see a cute dainty ring. As most of them are affordable little things, I don't find this habit too troublesome. (Surely it's better than that designer handbag phase?)

I like to store my delicate gold rings on a baby dachshund ring holder.

The golden pyramid ring is from DailyLook and the infinity ring is from eBay.

These are a little dated, but I'm almost certain the golden leaf ring is from ModCloth whilst the owl heart ring is from DailyLook.

My newest obsession is this golden midi bow ring from DailyLook. The whole midi ring trend took a while for me to get into, but I can really get the hang of it now - especially with this bow ring!

We Notice When Your Shoes or Lipstick Don't Match

Some believe that no one cares for shoes, but shoes are one of the main component of any outfit.

Of the things I notice about people, shoes has to be one of the main things. It's strange to think that little shoes dangling off your feet are something to be noticed, but they definitely are. Why else do we match shoes to our outfits or handbag? If you've ever tried to get away with shoes that are not quite the right color for a suit or dress, you'll know the pain. Sometimes I feel like I can't wear certain outfits because the shoes just don't match quite right.

I have pairs of shoes I've only worn once or twice because I can't make it go well with any outfit. It's extremely important to consider how wearable a pair of shoes are before you make a purchase - especially if the shoes are expensive.

If you are wearing lipstick, people will take notice.

It still amazes me that people can be surprised when I comment on their lipstick. The general rule is that if you are wearing a lipstick - any lipstick - people will notice. You speak through your mouth, so people will focus on your mouth quite often. Knowing this, I try to make sure my lipstick is always clean and neat. Pink and red lips are especially noticeable, so I don't try to cheat the system and overdo any lipliner or gloss.
