DIY Ruffled Vanity Stool

This vanity stool was my latest project. MBH and I finally moved the furniture in the room around so that I could set up a little vanity by the window. All the chairs I found were either too high or too short for this area so I ventured out to make my own. I used this bright green litter bucket we kept out back. I was just going to throw it away so why not right.

I used some scrap fabric I had and my trusty glue gun. I also sewed my own ruffles. Here is what I created.

TADA!!!!!!!! My finished vanity stool!

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Gel Cream Liners

This item was purchased by me at Wal-mart yesterday. It was only $9 or $10 so I wanted to give it a try (especially since it came with 3 colors). It says "24 hour wear" on the box and I have been wearing the black all day today with no issues. It glides on very smooth and it a little too soft of a gel in my opinion, but it works. It applies light and you add layers until it is as dark or thick as you want.

Comes with a brush (I don't use it) and the 3 colors are blue,Brown, and black. The black has little blue glitter in it, but you can hardly tell once it is applied.

Collagen Supplements After 1 Month

http://kawaiicrush.blogspot.com/2010/08/collagen-supplements.html

I purchased these Collagen supplements at Wal-Mart a month ago and I will be posting an update every month for 3 months. So far I have seen a difference in my hair. My hair seems a lot softer but that could be the other vitamins as well. My nails are great though. My toe nails are very weak most of the time but they are so strong right now. My skin is soft and radiant but I don't know if it is because of this stuff or my other routines. After one month I think it is making small changes, but I am not really sure if it is due to this or a pre-natal vitamin I started taking (I'm not preggers).

Ross Haul

I love Ross. It is one of my favorite stores because you can find AMAZING deals there sometimes. Their clothes are great too because they are name brand and cheap. BUT I just discovered on my last trip that they have Juicy Couture there now. The store by my house had a few JC handbags and I actually bought the yellow one on sale for $19.99!!!!!! I bought some E.L.F. Lip gloss in a pack of 5 for $4 and a really nice mirror. I added two pairs of Levis denim to my collection as well.

Labor Day Camping

I had so much fun camping with MBH and the puppy. We went up to the mountains and found this secluded spot surrounded by giant boulders. It was great, but the air was SO SO SOOOOOO DRY!! MBH and I would wake up every morning and our throats would be painfully dry. And I forgot to bring lotion so that was pretty miserable. I love camping.

I was good and I did my Obagi every morning and evening. It was hard without a mirror :/ I can't believe I forgot a mirror. At night I would heat water up to wash my face because it was really cold.
Baron (the puppy) was so funny. Every afternoon he would force himself inside the tent so he could sleep on the air mattress lol. We would go in to check on him and he would be dead asleep on our bed. Is it bad that on our next camping trip I am going to buy him his own air mattress to sleep on lol?! I think I spoil him.

Week 6 Obagi

Everything is going great guys! I LOVE Obagi!!!! I

Obagi Nu-Derm Week 5

Sorry I have no pictures for you this time. My week has been SUPER BUSY. But I will take lots of pics for the 6 week update. My skin is great. No peeling anymore and today I went out of the house without any foundation and I felt fantastic. Every time I go makeup shopping now the sales specialists always comment on how beautiful and fair my skin is (YAY!). We are going camping this weekend so I have all my Obagi products packed and ready to go. See you all next week! Have a great Labor Day everyone.
