Randomness and Restlessness

I just finished editing the latest youtube video, which is a follow up on my last post of the Eu Natural Vibrance Hair Supplements. Since I had everything ready from my other video, I decided to make a review of it. So you can check those out further down in the post.

It’s Thursday and I have been coming to the library pretty much everyday this week, and I like to think I have been pretty productive. Don’t we all like to think that? haha

I have been drawing and working on createmytattoo.com websites, I don’t want to post the work just yet, because the contests are not over yet. It throws me off because I am so used to posting my art as soon as I am done drawing them.

So here is the first video which I posted earlier this week of a mini shopping haul:

Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE, COMMENT and LIKE!

I got some pretty cool items, which I didn’t take pictures like I usually do, so you’ll just have to watch to see what I got!

Here is the video I just finished and includes the discount code as well!

I have been swamped trying to organize all my art projects so I stay focused. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with everything I need to do. I am also making sure I keep all my business stuff organized since it’s the beginning of the year. Tax time is right around the corner!!! AHHHHHH!

Do any of you guys have issues organizing your stuff? or keeping focused? Or am I the only one?

Well, I am off to work on drawings! Wish me luck on staying focused!!

Counting down the days

Christmas is less than a week away! Can you believe it? This past week and last has been busy. I helped my mom out with getting her tree and decorating it. My mom’s style is very classic when it comes to the holidays. She loves the golds, reds and greens. Some of her ornaments are older than me. Lots of glass and ceramic ornaments and felt red bows. It’s relaxing to sit by her tree and have a fire going while we wrap presents. I took a quick photo while I was sipping on homemade hot chocolate.

One thing I love about the holidays is shopping. Even when I am not the one shopping, I love helping my family shop. I am one of those weirdos that actually like window shopping. Don’t judge me! While mom was trying on dresses, I practiced my skills in iphone photography. hahaha

Between shopping, running errands, time with the kiddos, I did some shopping on my own. I received a gift card early and decided to pick up a few things. I stopped by Jerry’s Art-O-Rama to pick up some paint and canvases. Then I looked at Ross to see if there were anything good. I have been searching for a pair of black boots that I could wear everyday or at least as much as I wear my brown ones at a decent price. I finally found a pair of black studded boots I love! I also found some fleece lined leggings and a winter sweater I can wear at Christmas Eve at my moms.

I wanted to make a video of what I got, but now that I am sharing a house with 2 other roommates, I just don’t have the privacy I used to when I want to film something. hahahah oh oneday, I will have my studio to have the space to do the artistic things I need to do.

Oh, and I almost forgot to share. My artwork is being used in a book! That will be in the next post! Im super excited to share it with you all! Stay tuned!

Another Thrift Store Haul

It has been a while since I last filmed a Thrift Store Haul, I think the last one was when I had to go get summer clothes.  I have been wanting to get more black clothes..I know I know, sounds boring, but we can only wear black at school and now that it is about to be Autumn and I needed more clothes.

I have been on the search in many stores such as Macy's, Charlotte Russe, Papaya, Forever21 and other stores looking for "boyfriend" blazers. I didnt want blazers that were tailored too tightly or too short, and I wanted pockets and lets just say I tried on alot and none would fit right.

So, I went to the local CHKD that I love to go to that is next door to Jerry's Artorama.  I found 4 or 5 blazers and a couple pairs of pants. See my video below!



I love going to Thrift stores mainly because I like finding things that are unique and different, not to mention it doesnt break my pockets!!!

Do you like to go thrifting? What do you look for when you go? I would love to hear your shopping adventures!



I am working on a few halloween tutorials so stay tuned!

Outlets and Shopping

While my mom was in town on leave, we went to the outlets to go shopping last week and of course I wore a really bright dress!



Here I am with my lil brother! We had a great time, where my mom dragged me into the Coach store to help her pick out a purse and she got me an early, way early birthday present of my first Coach purse or messenger bag I should say.

I did not get alot, I bought some Zoo York shoes, a scarf from Fossil, some M.A.C. nude lip liner, and M.A.C. Lady Gaga Lipglass.

Jermie got some clothes from the Ecko Store and so did my brother. We didnt stay too long that day, but we had a great time, shopping and looking around.

Thrift store haul

Good afternoon my sweets!

I finally was able to get this video loaded for yall who love to see hauls. This one is where I went to the thrift store and the art store and a few other places. Again the lighting is horrible, I am working on getting better lights. I need to finish my last homework for english and then I get a two week break from college until summer semester starts. Enjoy!

Cruisin around

Yours truly,

Shopping Fix

Yesterday was a way better day!!!! Even though it was a lil rainy out, it was like the rain was washing away my worries! I picked up my husband from work, and he had great news! He may be picked to be assistant manager for the new produce department at Target, so that is so awesome!

Then, we headed over to this cute lil boutique, called Delightful Digs where I wanted to pick out a gift for my Aunt Beth who has been feeling a lil down, and I wanted to brighten up her day. This boutique has some really cute things in them, I really wanted to shop for myself, but I had to keep myself in check! lol I found a cute Quote that hangs on a wall, and I got it for her. She loved it! I wish I could remember the quote, or find it, but I cant :( I will have to take a picture of it when I see her again (which will be tuesday, when I go over there to do my cousins makeup and hair).

After this, my husband, my brother and I headed to Ihop for some grub! They ordered omelletes, while I ordered: Chicken & Waffles, a side of bacon and hashbrowns:

 and I finished all my food, while both of them could not finish theirs!!!!! I wasnt even full either!

I dropped the boys off and headed to TJ MAXX to do a lil shoppin'. I found some great things, which I will make a haul video for. I also stopped by Walgreens, and grabbed a few more things...and I found a cute cosmetic bag, since my ebay cosmetic case was out of stock, but I found this:

I normally steer clear from Caboodles, but They have been coming out with cute cases and bags, so I couldnt stay a "hater". I am still building my make up kit, but for the makeup I do have right now, this bag is perfect! It fits everything and has cute pockets inside, I will do a video on this bag as well!

That was my day yesterday- alot better than saturday. I hope everyone has a great day and thanks for stopping by!

The second part of my haul

Its raining outside and its a lil late, but I cannot sleep. :( I got back from my evening class at college a few hours ago and I am still trying to wind down. I got caught up with homework, and reading all my subscriptions blogs and all my youtube subscriptions, and still not tired yet. I am loading the second part of the shopping haul now as I type this, and as soon as it is loaded, I am off to bed and try to catch some zzzz's.

So, as I wait almost impatiently, I guess I will just ramble on about whatever pops into my head. I feel like there is a ka-jillion things swimming around in my head, and even though I use a planner to its full potential and plan everything out like a geek, I feel like I can never focus on one thing. Do you ever feel like that? Like you have too much going on? It's a wonder that I even get anything done at all! I have to remember to take one thing at a time and before I know it, I have checked everything off my "to-do-list" and yes I have one!

I am so glad I am not sick anymore, I had broncitis last week and have been on antibiotics since then and I do feel better. I was told at the doctor's though I have high cholesterol, so I am trying to curb my cravings for fast food, because I am a junk-food-aholic!!!! and I want to start running again.

I feel like I am writing too much, maybe its me from being delusional and in denial about being tired, so I will end this and will include the link to my latest upload, the second part of the haul. Enjoy and goodnight!
