Wednesday~ Life stuff..

As far as the home purchase goes we are still ahead of schedule. Yesterday we got the email (with proof) that they had fixed everything on the list. We are going to ask about closing early, if we can that'd be awesome to get some of the boxes out of the way and get the things we want to fix/change done before we move in.

Our landlord wasn't too happy to lose us as tenants. As of now we need to be moved out by June 1st, to not owe any additional rent, and closing is May 29th. Three days to move is feasible, but of course more would be nice.

Our next steps are setting up the date for turning these utilities off, and getting the new house utilities turned on in our name.

I really hate packing, but so ready to move.

Me today:

Have a great day!

Clean and Clear

Yes I do. I tend to do it 2-3 times a week.

I use my regular face wash and a battery powered exfoliating face brush.

No.

I don't. I use Physicians Formula BB Cream.

How about concealer?

When I do it's also Physicians Formula.

 Do you know your undertone color?

Red.

What do you think of fake eyelashes?

They're pretty but I'm too lazy to master applying them.

Did you know that you are supposed to change your mascara every 3 months?

Yes, I try to abide by that but it usually doesn't happen.

What brand of mascara do you use?

Several. Currently I've been starting with PF CC Mascara, then applying a coat of Wet & Wild Mega Volume.

Sephora or MAC?

Neither. (Ulta)

Do you have a MAC Pro-card?

No.

What makeup tools do you use in make up application?

Several, but for me the key is a good eyeliner & good brushes.

Do you use make-up base/primer for the eyes?

Yes, from E.L.F.

For the face?

Also E.L.F.

What is your favorite eyeshadow (color or shade)?

Too many awesome ones to pick a favorite.

Pencil.

How often do you poke your eyes with an eyeliner pencil?

Very rarely.

What do you think of pigment eye shadows?

They are nice.

Not generally.

Name a makeup crime that you hate?

An orange face. So not pretty.

What do you think of Makeup??

FUN!!

Friday... Not really crafty, more Interior Design

Packing is still no fun, in case you were wondering. The last time we moved was 4yrs ago and I'm having a hard time remembering how long that took me. Plus I feel overwhelmed, this house is probably twice as big as our last rental, and we've accumulated a lot of "stuff" in the past 4yrs.

To avoid packing I've been dreaming of how I want to decorate our HOME. 
The house was built in 1970, and still has the 70's ish kitchen and I want to embrace it. 

I really like these:
Place mats
Place mats 

I plan to use those colors throughout the kitchen, and will probably make my own curtains.. I probably have fabric now that will work.


The bathroom is also 70s ish and we don't have the money to do any major renovation, so for now it'll stay like this (that curtain is coming down though):

The flooring is much prettier in person, and other than sticking with a nature type theme (already have the green and browns in the room) I have no idea. I also currently have yellow towels, toothbrush holder and trash can. Maybe I should just do greens and yellows? Then all I need is a pretty towel with both colors and a soap dispenser.


The living room has this accent wall that I'm not sure what I'm doing with (keep or paint) and our current sectional sofa is a tan color and we have a black entertainment center. I plan to possibly paint the entertainment center white this fall, but haven't decided yet.

The current LR:

 Mom is free to do whatever she wants in her (450+ sq ft) space, she said she's not painting, but hasn't decided on flooring (it's currently painted concrete except the bath, which is tile).

The 3 bedrooms upstairs are all a blank canvas, currently the master and my office are white, and hubby's office is paneling like the kitchen.

We will probably keep the master white, as well as leave his office as is (other than curtains). I plan to paint my office, but havent decided on a color.

The shutters are currently red, and I hate them. We cant decided between a plum-y color or vivid green, or possibly something else entirely..

Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Have a great day!
