Day in the Life (DITL)

 Hey Y'all!

A typical day starts the same:

Wake up, check email, social media, etc. Watch a little YouTube and eat breakfast. (Today was French Toast, with the Pepperidge Farm Pumpkin Spice bread.)



Fetch some receipts. We both only got 5 bonus points today, boo.


Get dressed and ready for the day...  most days I stay in my pjs lol.



Started to do makeup, and decided nope, too hot.


Chris listed all this for free, and was busy all day with people stopping by,  multiple messages, and moving it around. 90% is gone now. YAY!
He also carried down about 3 bookshelves of books, those are supposedly getting picked up Monday...



I did some Outland Adventures avatars work...



Posted to YouTube, as the ending of videos, stickers are in the works.


Blog stuff.... like this.


Tackling the clothes. What we're keeping, getting rid of, and taking.
 

SO many socks!


First dresser drawer cleared out..


Seriously, more socks?!


Vacuum bags from Dollar Tree, lets test them out.


Snack break, with Downton Abbey.
Chris is still downstairs with people...


I need to get the vacuum in here to suck the air out.. but it seems like it's holding well. (So far so good. They're not huge, but they hold about 15-20 items and seem to be holding well so far.)


More.


Dressers are all empty, this basket is going with (not packed like this, just the items).


No plans for the empty basket, the bottom one is filled with donations.


Too hot to cook, and a few people today took a lot of items and gave some cash. So, thanks to them for dinner!



After the trip to town to eat, and grab an iced coffee, it was makeup removal time.


Shower, pjs, and skin care.


Waiting on the update...


Internet being insanely slow. Partially because Chris is playing World of Warcraft, partially because our internet is sketchy.


While waiting I talked to my sis and BFF. With my sister we talked about kids and school, with my BFF we planned the next trip and talked about life updates.


Next was lounging in bed watching horror movies (Sleepaway Camp 3, it's campy {haha} but that's totally or taste. The other was Amityville: The Awakening and it was okay.) in front of the A/C... and falling asleep.


Have a great day,

Craftin' Wife

September Everyday Makeup Shelf & August Looks

 Hey Y'all!


There are not many looks for August. It was far to hot, and we were too busy for me to want to mess with makeup very often. For September's shelf the only thing I swapped out was the eyeshadow palettes...


Makeup Shelf:

No review since I have mentioned all those products previously, also since I kept most of them there wasn't really a need to review anything. If you have questions about anything, just post in in the comments below!


August Looks:

There's not much here...

1) Probably the best "look" and the most effort put in all month long.

That's all folks!


Have a great day,

Nail Polish Collection & Declutter

 Hey Y'all!

I finally got to the nail polish. It's packed enough for now. It'll most likely get put in one of the bathroom bins, and I'll take 2 or 3 colors with me at a time when out on the road...

I did not do a count beforehand:


This is what I'm decluttering:
30+/- 
Some were just old, and needed to go. Some of the others I have too many that are similar. The glitters are just too chunky for my current likes. The pale pink is a decent polish, just not a color I gravitate towards.


What I'm keeping for now:
Probably still too many, but my goal was a single later in this basket, so it's not too far off..


Y'all, I did it, I edited it down some more after this and it fits as a single layer...

These also got decluttered:

Here's the final basket:
There's room for all the nail tools, and polish remover as well.




I definitely noticed a trend- I had quite a few mint green/blue shades, as well as oranges. What's your favorite nail polish color(s)? Share in the comments below!


Have a great day,
Craftin' Wife 


The crackle went back in, I'm a sucker...
