So yesterday was uber exciting for me. I decided to be a follower and get my hair cut similar to this...



I actually printed this picture out (hope i don't get sued or anything for that) and showed it to the hairstylist and let me tell you, I have been trying to get this haircut for about 2 yrs now.. But what's weird 6 yrs ago before Posh Beckham did this style I had it done. I swear I'm not making it up. Anyway last year when she came out with this style I thought I'd try it again so I go to this wanna be salon and they totally did not understand what I wanted even though I showed her a picture of it. Now how do you really mess that up?

So I decide to give it another try and oh my gosh this hairstylist absolutely did an awesome job. Though she didn't really make it as choppy but it's ok I can always go back later again.

Then afterwards I took my sister to a beauty supply store I used to work at because they still give me discounts and we enter and I find out that my old boss (who gave me the discounts)got fired. But while we're at the eyeshadow area the new manager at that store tells me he loves the way I did my eye makeup.(I had used my new yellow with blue on top.) Then he tells me he loves my haircut and my haircolor which is still red, (which actually looks better faded out a bit because my top hair is red and my ends are blonde so it looks cool,) and he askes me what products I used and I tell him I buy them here at this store and he tells me "Girl, why aren't you working here?" and I told him I used to like 3 yrs ago and he's like "Well were hiring here's an application, you know what just fill it out now I'll wait" I was so thrown off gaurd.

We went in to buy eyeshadows and I'm practically walking out with a job. He liked it better that I was bilingual and that I used to work there. And the good part is that he let me put all of my hours in the morning which would be great so that I can be with my little one in the evening along with my hubby and that job is exactly 5 minutes from my house and 8 minutes from the hopefully daycare she would be at.

So today was really exciting and so much fun. When I have time I'll load up pics of my new 'do.

Makeup Haul...

Posted by Pixie at 7:15 AM 0 comments
Well this is what I went and purchased Wednesday...



1) These are the hair clips I bought to start putting my little girls hair bows together (Once I have those put together then I'll show them off too)

2) I must have my fake eyelashes because I have NONE.. I'm completely bare, when I was younger and used to wear mascara the way I would take off my mascara at the end of the day was by pulling the mascara off with my fingers and of course eyelashes came with it.

3) This is L`Oreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner in "Black"..It's similar to MAC's Fluidline.. I had purchased a liquid liner from ULTA and man that was the saddest $8 bucks spent EVER! That liquid liner did not work at all. It had a sponge applicator and it kept making streaks instead of a line. And this one is awesome. You only use a little bit on your brush applicator and it goes a long way.

4)Maybelline Powder Finishing Loose Powder in "Translucent".. After applying makeup I've never used a powder to finish and to keep the makeup in tact so I thought I'd try one out. So far so good...

5) L`Oreal HIP Dual Eyeshadow in "Flamboyant".. I love bright colors.. the yellow isn't that bright but it's good enough for me, I'm still hoping to buy MAC's yellow because that is one BRIGHT color.. anyhow, it's a duo with a mellow purple.

6) Makeup I use..Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in "Honey Beige" Liquid gets to oily on my face and can't do powder because it gets all cakey on me. This mousse glids on so smooth.

7) I had to try Wet'n wild Mega Glo cheek illuminater. Suppose to give me that whole bronzy, shiny cheek look. Sort of like this...



And sadly I have lasted only 1 day on TOPMOMMA imagine my NOT surprised face when I check my email and the first message on there says (which I have to say they get straight to the point) on the subject header "You just got booted from TOPMOMMA.COM".

So YEA! Finally I'm on the front page of TopMomma.com

I'm a Top Mommma!


They had me waiting for like a month and they finally let me know today I'm on there. I think they wait awhile to see If the blog has any readers or something so I thank my READERS oops my ONE reader for letting them finally accept me. Today is my first day on there so you know I had to show off.

So the point is you have to have an interesting picture as your profile so that you can get lots of clicks and the longer you stay up there the longer people have a chance to take a look at your blog. So that's pretty much it. So if you would like to see me last longer than one day (which would be so sad) go to TOPMOMMA.COM.
and click on my little kids pic . If you like no pressure :D

So now I'm off to spend my hubby's money on makeup..Can never pass up those buy one get one free offers =)

Spring is in the air...

Posted by Pixie at 8:21 AM 0 comments
With Spring being here walking I think is a great way to get fresh air and do some sort of exercise. Because I hate the other exercising. You know the dumbell raises, leg squats, and situps..boooo

Yesterday I saw a cattle bell at Target and I thought about buying it and my hubby picked it up from the shelf and almost dropped it so I think it's a little out of my fitness range.. if he can't pick it up then I'm guessing I definitely can't either.

I was hearing people doing some sort of Liquid Diet and I hear that they lost like 9lbs in ONE WEEK! Even I know that's unhealthy. How sensitive would the stomach be after just consuming liquids and then go back and eating solids.

Or how about NutriSystem you spend around $200 dollars every two weeks for prepackaged food but YET you still have to add YOUR own fruits and vegetables..um...ok...

Then I heard people using Slimfast AND NutriSystem together. Man the things these people will do to lose weight. I may be curvalicious but I have my limits. I really, really prefer to TRY to do it healthy by cooking healthy foods because I prefer to eat :D



So lately everywhere I turn everyone is talking about the new MAC Heatherette Collection.

For all the hype about it I hear that it's really not that great. I personally wouldn't spend $35 on a trio palette



And these Lipcolors don't even go with my skin color, I would really stick out with the pink one.. but their packaging looks cute

Reading does a brain good...

Posted by Pixie at 7:15 AM 0 comments


Yesterday was such a beautiful day I couldn't stay in. First I had called my library to see if they carried a specific book and I told them to hold it for me I'll stop by to pick it up. The library lady tells me "OK" and if I was also going to pay off my fine I had. I knew I had one so I asked her how much it was.. Now I'm assuming it's like maybe $8-$10 NOT $25!!

I try so hard to predict where the money is going and not try to have unexpected things like this happen. It's my own fault I don't know why I just wouldn't call to renew it or anything and the best part I only live 5 minutes from the library. I know I don't have to pay it right this minute but then down the line after I forget about it the next thing you know I'm getting mail from the Collection Agency. Ick!

So the library is 5 minutes from my house in car and walking to it is 20 minutes and they say that walking is best for you but nobody glorifies how it is walking up a hill on a semi hot day with a 3 year old in 30 minutes is good for you. She kept stopping because she was tired of walking up a hill and she kept sitting down, it's funny because when we take her to the park she's all over the place and here at the house I can't get her to stop running around. I guess because she thinks the same thing all grown ups do "Walking is no fun as an exercise". Well that's what I think anyways.

So I go down there to pay the amount and as soon as we enter she's miraculously not tired anymore and runs straight to the play area. Our library is small it carries, I say 10 computers and everyone of them had a little kid attached to it. Playing computer games, getting on Myspace, looking up cars and such. I mean, great their learning how to use a computer and you have to eventually read ever site your one or whatever but come on your in a library, can someone read a BOOK.

I love the library the different types of book out there and the creativity of one's moind. On the computer you read whatever it is your looking up but your not really reading the importance of a book whether it be Fiction, Non Fiction or just for the hell of it.

Oh well can't bitch too much because I'd die if I didn't have my computer

To really want to go to work...

Posted by Pixie at 7:19 AM 0 comments
When I'm ready to get back into the work force I would definetly want a fun and exciting job. Some of these jobs might not pay well but at least one would definetly be enjoying them.


A Makeup Artist:


Because you have the ability to display a face to its full potential. You can make that person feel and look as attractive as possible.






A Dancer

Dancers express ideas, stories, rhythm, and sound with their bodies. I personally would have loved to be a HIP HOP dancer. Their rhythms and dances are just great. I never considered being like a Ballet or Jazz dancer because you have to be agile, flexible, have good body tone and *ha ha* I never did have those requirements =)



A Nightclub owner:

You get to own your own entertainment venue. Where people want to get in for the music, the decor, the dance floor and whichever forms of entertainment you have. And you get to party and enjoy your work environment every single night!



How awesome would it be to be known as an FBI Agent?









"To protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners."




And what kind of fan would I be if I wouldn't put up Jennifer Lopez and her 1-month old babies on here. Are Max and Emme a cutie. But I definetly think someother parent might not be too happy about another newborn with the same name as her kid. =)

Now see she has the best job EVER! She gets to play out everybody's dream out. She gets to be an FBI Agent in Out of Sight a DANCER in her music videos, she owns her own restaurant and Jennifer Lopez makeup artist is one lucky man =)

Las Vegas, Here we come...

Posted by Pixie at 9:20 AM 0 comments





These are the days that I'm waiting for. No more being stuck in the house because it's always snowing. Sitting here I have literally memorized every crack on these walls. Then when Summer comes everyone is going to complain that it's too hott and can't wait for the snow..

My dad let me know that he's planning a trip to Las Vegas next month and wanted to know if we wanted to come along. I definetly think it would be fun to go. I've never been there. He's been there a gazillion times and he swears this time he's going to try to look at the scene across the street. You know because there is so much to see you don't have time to see everything.

But If we do go it would only be my and the little one because hubby wouldn't be able to take days off. I would definetly feel bad because he would be working while we would be having tons of fun hundreds of miles away.

If would be such a great experiance for my little one. I doubt she will remember when she's older but a different environment from all the snow now would be fun.

A day at the park and spending the night with a Hitman...

Posted by Pixie at 11:58 AM 0 comments


Yesterday it was such a nice day that when hubby got home we decided to take the two little ones out to the park for awhile. And once we got to the park we forgot that there is a big lake nearby and when we got off the car it became EXTREMELY cold.









When we came from the park we rented out HITMAN. I thought It was going to be boring but I actually liked it. The main character as the 'hitman' was Timothy Olyphant who I thought was a cutie.

How fun...

Posted by Pixie at 8:25 AM 0 comments
Yesterday my sister decided to drop by before my hubby got home and we decided to waste gas and go walk around just to get out of the house and get fresh air. We ended up going to TJMaxx and from the last time I remembered going in there they have definitely upgraded. It was much neater, much more organized and have more brands than before. But now more expensive than before.

My kid, probably knowing I wasn't going to really buy her any toys decided to grab every toy she could get her hands on and get on the floor and play with them.



Then we decide to head out next door to Home Depot, yup that's how bored and broke we were. This picture is funny because they both decided to just lay down all crazy in the buggy's.



After awhile we went home. I finished cleaning and made an early dinner. When my hubby got home we went over to the in laws house and it was nice this time. She made these for me (by hand) and I sat there while she actually finished the white one for me.



After that we went to watch "Horton Hears a WHO" It was cute and funny but I'm not sure if I liked Jim Carey's voice for 'Horton'. But I knew that we should have waited until it was out for at least a month. That theater was SOOO crowded of crying, whining, yelling kids. I seriously haven't been in a room that noisy before. Not counting high school.

I'm off to bed again to watch The View with a cup of hot chocolate and a slice of brownie because.I.Can =).. oh wait! Today is SATURDAY. I don't have the View today.. sheesh I'm so behind in days. Have a good St. Patrick's Day Weekend =)

Where are the great actors hiding?

Posted by Pixie at 10:43 AM 0 comments




Today is crummy day. No sun, it's cold outside and I don't have any hot chocolate or donuts.


I feel like watching a really, really good movie. Anybody have any good suggestions?

Nothing with Owen Wilson:
*Someone who has a nice life, great opportunities and a great family and decides that he would like to take himself out of there life doesn't deserve any right to be called a celebrity where people would look up to him. That's MY opinion on Owen Wilsom. That and he is a BAD actor. I can't seem to look away from his REALLY crooked nose.*

Nothing with Lindsey Lohan:
Is there really a reason why she is supposedly famous? She is such a waste of tax payers money.

And please no SHREK, my kid watches it so much I have it almost memorized word by word.

Not with George Clooney
I'm not a big fan of his. His movie Micheal Clayton reminds me of movies like THE FIRM, which I would definetly watch but it doesn't look appealing with Clooney in it. He doesn't do serious movies well. If maybe Tom Cruise was in it (because he does excellent movies like that) then maybe I would have watched it or even Micheal Douglas. Where is he? I love the movies he makes. My favorite is THE WAR OF THE ROSES. Didn't he and Kathleen Turner make such a great couple on the big screen?

What ever happened to good movies like A FEW GOOD MEN, YOUNGUNS, BRAVEHEART, or THE MONSTER SQUAD hahaha just kidding.

Not that I have the time to watch a movie anyways, I woke up late today and have to clean my house and disinfect it, then I have to get dinner ready so that we can go and visit my In-Laws again. *sigh*
