Easter

Happy Easter everyone. For Easter, some of you go to Easter Service and some have Easter Egg Hunts in your neighborhoods with family and friends. Well, I'm here to tell you of my Easters in the past. {Like way back to childhood.} First off, I will say my parents never got us Easter baskets filled with candy, toys, books or stuffed animals. Now looking back on it they probably weren't raised getting Easter baskets either.

When I was little around 5 or so my parents would take us to Easter Sunday service at church. We would learn about Jesus dying for us and all that other stuff. {I promise I'm not knocking church goers!} Well this ended when I was around 8. After we moved I guess my parents didn't see the need for us to go to church. So every Easter after that until we got "too old" we would have Easter Egg Hunts in our neighborhood and at my grandpa's along with a great Easter dinner.

In 8th grade my parents introduced us into the church again explaining that we weren't baptized as babies and they thought it should be our choice if we wanted to be baptized or not. We {my sister and I} wanted to. So in 8th grade my sister and I along with a friend in our neighborhood took confirmation classes and were baptized. After that I went to many Easter Services with friends.

Today, I don't celebrate Easter. Maybe one day when I have kids I will tell them all about my Easters and start new traditions {Easter baskets} with them but for right now, I'll gather ideas for what i want my kids to know about Easter and file them away.

   

Surprised?

Yes I've posted 3 days in a row! Wow you say??? I would hope so. But now I'm in a slump. Do I write a 30 day challenge? {Minus Wednesdays. Those are for SSW.} or do I take a freaking clue from other bloggers and write about my life {which I'm trying to do. It's a little boring and a lot busy around these parts.} and random ramblings or do I do something else? 

I know this is my blog and I can do or say whatever but, I'm stuck. So to all 7 {yes I lost a follower but that's OK. I'm not here for the followers, I'm here for me. Even though it's nice that people read my crap posts.} of my followers, what would you all like to hear about? Give me some insight/ input. I need it!

So WHAT! Wednesday

It's So WHAT! Wednesday over a Life After I "Dew" and I'm linking up!

So WHAT! if...

• I am still not on a school "schedule" {It's too late now to get on one.}
• I don't have an internship yet. I'm working my ass off to contact people and they just Don't reply back! {This is frustrating!}
• I haven't gone to bed be for 3 am these last two nights. {If I really need to get up for something I will.}
• I haven't done my taxes yet. I have a few more weeks, right???
• even though I make To-Do lists and use my Life Planner constantly, I don't get HALF the stuff done that I need to. {Maybe I should write down ONLY the things I absolutely have to get done that day?}
• I'm excited for graduation but not excited to get back home or the stay in Oklahoma for that matter. Ugh!
• I have a phone interview coming up and I have NO clue what to expect! How does one of these things even work?

What are you saying So WHAT! to this week?

What's in my Makeup Bag

What's in my Makeup Bag{s}

Yes that's right. I have 2 makeup bags {and an area I keep recently used makeup/might use makeup.} Even though I have 2 makeup bags I hardly ever wear makeup. Right now I don't see it as feasible. I go to class 4 days a week, yes, but I'm only in class for 3 hours at the most {and that's only 2 days a week.} To me it's not justifiable.

This is what's in the green Lily Vernon bag.

 My more expensive makeup that I will say I hardly use. I just checked my foundation and I think it's time to toss it. {eek!} A case for foundation, eye shadows and my eyeliner, mascara, concealer, eyeliner brush and foundation brush.

This is what's in my pink makeup bag.

Plus earrings I have no idea where to store. I don't have a permanent home yet and I find this the most useful place {even though I don't wear half the earrings in it.}

This bag has my more "affordable" makeup. Most of this I was gifted, given or bought only one or two items. 

The smaller Stila lip glosses I was gifted plus the Stila cheek color. The bigger Stila lip gloss in bought. The bare minerals was given to me from my mom. The Balm eye shadows was gifted to me and I bought the Kat Von D palette and eyeshadow and Revlon lip butters.

This section of makeup is my "go to makeup" if you can say that. It's the stuff I've worn the most recent. I was gifted the Stila palette and lip gloss and I bought the Too Faced palette and E.L.F. Bronzer. The sample is of eye primer I am trying out to compare against my concealer to see which one I like better.

So that is what's in my makeup bag{s}. Maybe I'll start using all of these more this summer for my internship.

Social Media

{via google}

Wherever I go I see college aged {18-22} kids in grossed in their iPads, smartphones, iPods and whatever else network we have now. {I'm around this everyday!} I'm not saying I'm old {even though I didn't acknowledge my birthday this year.} But, the older I get, more "kids" are getting disconnected from reality/real life. Their "life" is behind a computer. Talking through a keyboard. Not interacting face to face with people. Yes, I know this is the way the future is going but it is INSANE! 

So, with that said, I am taking a break from social media. I'm not going to neglect my blog {even though I hardly post anything. I'm really trying to get better!} But I am going to quit Facebook and Twitter. I hardly tweet anything on twitter anyway. I usually read/see what everyone else is doing but rarely post unless the mood strikes me. {Maybe it's because Twitter isn't easily "accessible". I don't have an iPhone or an iPod where I can check these things every 5 minutes. I'm also not going to give up Pintrest. To me Pintrest is a place to put my ideas and designs. I've even deleted my Facebook and Twitter favorite buttons on my toolbar in Firefox. Out of sight out of mind, right?

So, hopefully I can keep from having the urge to check these things. I don't know how long I'll stay away {if I can} but I will let you know. A friend of mine said she deactivated her Facebook for a month and in all honesty, I didn't even know she had done that! So, even though I look at my News feed and Twitter Timeline everyday most of it doesn't even register.

See you all soon!

Celeb Gossip

What is it with celebrities, babies and cars? Recently Beyonce was seen in the back seat of a car holding her daughter, Blue Ivy!

This reminds me all too much of the Britney episode a few years ago with Sean Preston riding in the driver's seat with her.

Do they think they are actually keeping their babies safe? To me they just seem crazy! But it's whatever. They're the ones with all the money, right?

So WHAT! Wednesday

I'm linking up with Shannon again for So What! Wednesday.

So WHAT! if...

• I haven't blogged in a good while. I really don't think I have anything great to blog about. {I'm also thinking about deleting my blog but then I'd have to "favorite" all the blogs I read through Blogger.}
• I have 4 weeks until graduation and I haven't gotten my graduation announcements.
• I had a GREAT Spring Break but it wasn't long enough. {I wish we got 2 weeks for Spring Break.}
• I'm having a hard time getting an internship for the summer. People just DON'T get back to you like they should.

• I really want to see The Hunger Games but want to wait until I finish all of the books and until all of the movies are out. {I'm going to be waiting a while.} 

What are you saying So WHAT! to this week?

Silent Sunday

Birthday Girl!

Today I am the Big 2-7! This is freaking me out! I am 3 years to 30 and feel like I have accomplished NOTHING! This is my LAST semester of college and I am SO happy! Come May 7th I can finally "start" my life.

I have changed SO much in the past years and thought at 27 I would have 2 kids and be a Military Wife. Well, thankfully, {for the better} that has all changed! I'm excited, yet scared. for the future and always wonder if things will happen the way I'm wanting them to. But for now it's one day at a time and no more looking back.

To say I have crazy fun plans for tonight would be an overstatement. I have no plans for tonight {except homework and maybe dinner somewhere with the boy.} But, that is fine with me!

So WHAT! Wednesday

It's So WHAT! Wednesday over at Shannon's and I'm linking up!

So WHAT! if...

• I'm technically writing this on Thursday. {It's only 12:30. I can be 30 minutes late. No one will notice!}
• I don't want to turn 27 today! It just means I'm THAT MUCH closer to 30 and I have nothing figured out yet!
• I am dragging in school work. It's past the halfway point and I am ready for a break {even though it won't be a break. I have a paper due the Monday after Spring Break!}
• the first person to wish me Happy Birthday was one of my exes. We're still on good terms and talk as much as we can.
• I don't think the boy knows today's my birthday. That's okay with me considering I don't really want it to be my birthday. 
• I don't celebrate my birthday week. {But if my birthday lands on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday I celebrate ALL weekend!}
• Last week while at home I got absolutely NOTHING done school wise. {I can't help if that place makes me want to lay around and watch tv and cuddle with Buddy all day!}
