Friday, where did you go?

Well it is Friday and the day has just flown by so fast. I have been trying to get my house back in order since I have so much extra time on my hands.. Cleaned up and even took Dixie for a walk around the neighborhood. I entered a few YouTube giveaways, fingers crossed that I win one.. LOL It just doesn't feel like it is almost 4 p.m. I guess I am still stuck on my schedule from work. Maybe I will be able to sleep in tomorrow, since I am still waking up at 6 a.m. for some reason..lol

Maybe if I feel like it after dinner I will do a video on my foundation routine, I have been seeing a lot of those on there the past few days.. Might as well give it a shot, never know what will happen..lol

So have a HAPPY Friday night everyone...

Life so far....

Well I haven't posted since August, so I guess with all of the extra free time I have, I will work on my blog.
I recently was laid off from my job, and I am now currently looking for a new one. As many may know, with the recent economic problems we are facing, teachers are getting laid off left and right.
This has really put me down in the dumps. I have depression to begin with, but this has just increased it. Not to mention the hassle of dealing with unemployment, such a pain, but it has to be done. Because you can't live for free, well at least I can't..lol
So as I wait for replies on my recent applications, I am going to try and work on my blog and YouTube pages. I have so many things I want to write about, but where do I start, my brain is so full of wonderful ideas if I do say so myself..lol We shall see what comes first, and I know that it will be something good. Thanks for taking time out of your day to take a look at my page, it means a lot..

Here we go...

Ok, I know that I haven't posted in a few weeks, sorry about that. I have recently gone back to work, YAY! I can not tell you how much I have missed my babies. Two months off for the summer nearly killed me. I know what you are thinking, I would kill for that time off. Sadly, I thought the same until I received it. I was doing good at first, but as the time went by, I started going a bit crazy. There is only so many times you can clean your home, reorganize things, and catch up on some reading. I was going bonkers.. LOL 

Here is a lil bit of background info for those confused. I was a stay at home wife for most of my adult life. I married two of the most countrified men I could ever meet. Yes, I am on my second marriage, but back to the real reason for this post..lol They wanted their wife to stay at home and tend to things like good southern girls do. And yes, I was fine with that for a while, but then I would get depressed or aggravated, you get the picture. So after Hurricane Katrina hit, and we were displaced, and forced to move to Missouri, I decided to go back to school. At first my husband wasn't to happy about my choice, but it had to be done. I would not continue to be one of those silly country girls who did as told. So I majored in Criminal Justice, since I had a knowledge of MS law and criminal education, I thought this would be a great choice. Boy was I ever wrong! The instructors were as dry as year old bread. I wasn't inspired, and was bored worse than being at home. I knew that I had to keep going or I would put myself back into the rut I just got myself out of. So with that being said, I decided to change majors. This time I went into Child Development. I have always wanted to work with children. I was going to work in Family Court, but you see where that went.lol So, I found a major that I love. I worked very hard and made it to the President's list twice, and graduated with honors.. I am now working on my BA in the same field. I am also teaching at a private Christian preschool, and I have to say that I am in love with my job, and the children that I have the opportunity to teach. You might be thinking that I am crazy, I spend 9 hours a day with 13 3 year old, but I LOVE it! The feeling I get when I see them achieve a  task is the best feeling in the world. 
I have been told all of my life that I was blessed with a gift. I react best with children, and I have a gift for teaching them. I always laughed at my family when they told me that. They would say that I should go into education, instead of law, but I was not wanting to go into education. Sorry that I waited so long to do what everyone knew I was born to do. 
So with that, you can understand why I was going bonkers not working. I don't have any children of my own yet, so I fill the void with my "babies" at work.

I am happiest when I am at work, or at school. I guess I am just not meant to be a homebody, not that there is anything wrong with that, it just isn't for me. 

Thanks for taking time to read this. I will try to post more regularly, but please understand that my job and education must come first.. :)

YouTube Rant

Ok, so I am a lil pissy today. I have been trying since 7 last night to upload a haul video, and still can't get it to load. Then I find out that another one of my friends got hacked, I mean come on. What is up with YouTube? I had to delete my WickeDawn channel because I got hacked, and now I am finding out that more, and more channels are being hacked as well. WTH! Is it me, or should YouTube do some investigating here. Just doesn't make sense for a beauty channel to get hacked.. Anywho, I guess I will stop here, I just needed to get it out while I was somewhat calm..LOL

Starting a new BOOK :)

View Image
Ok my lovely friends. This is the book that I will be starting on this weekend. One of my student's Mom knows how much I love to read, and with that being said, she got me this book. She read it, and said that it is a page turner, so she had to get me a copy as well. I love the fact that she got me a hardback instead of paperback. I love hardbacks, I guess because over time they get that vintage look going. Anyways, like I said, I will be starting this one this weekend.. I just finished up with the Jeaniene Frost series, and I am very happy with it.. So if you have any books that you would like to share your thought on, feel free to post away..

ELF Eyebrow Lifter & Filler

                                    ivory/light

I just recently purchased this product, and I have to say, I am liking it. I ordered it in Ivory/Dark, and I think that the color matches very well with my dark brown brows. The only thing I would change about this stick, is the size. The stick is rather wide for an eyebrow pencil, much like a jumbo eye pencil, ie, NYX, but all in all, I am happy with the color payoff. So if you are looking for a decent brow pencil I recommend this one here. The price isn't bad either, only $3, not bad if I do say so myself..

Best Hair Care EVER!


Cibu Ancient Serum
I am in love with Cibu products. I found them through YouTube of course and I am so happy that I did. I have very think curly hair, and living in South MS takes it's toll on my hair. I have been using the Spring Roll & Hi-Ya! line from Cibu. I am so happy that I tried them. My hair is not frizzy anymore, plus I am not shedding like I once was. I use the Ancient Serum after I wash, and condition my hair. It has saved my hair, I mean, no more dead-ends, no more dry crunchy curls. I could go on forever about this line, but I will stop here. I think everyone should try Cibu, what could be better than great hair?
