Life's Whirlwind Adventures

I'm again linking up with the girls in DC, Mar, Courtney and Cynthia for the Friday Five.  I've been waiting all week to write this post and I'm so glad I get to talk about my Favourite things!! I'm going to talk about my new favourite things, things I've recently discovered and now use on a daily basis!!! 1) I've discovered some new make up palettes.  Make up and I have gone through many phases and faces in my life. For a time all I bought were the cover girl eye shadows, blushes and mascara.  Then I grew up and started experimenting with other drug store make up. I was a bit of a hoarder.  Then in the past 5 years I've moved from palettes of Make up to single colours that I would blend. I've used Mary Kay, Benefit, Arbonne and I've enjoyed them all.  But recently I've been wanting to buy a New palette of colours so I could change up my look, and I found two that I love!! I got the Sephora IT Palette for smokey eyes and Benefit Bright...

It's another Friday Five!! You can learn more about the Friday Five from our lovely hosts, Mar , Cynthia or Courtney !! You can also read some other bloggers fun posts by reading the links at the end of our hosts post!! So I'm supposed to write five things about me, but I feel like I do that at least once a month... so I'm going to put my own little spin on it.  Here are Five Things about me from when I became a mom for the first time!! 1. I was 19 years old!! I was young, or at least I felt I was young. I was in my year off from school, I'd just graduated high school, and was thinking of going to University in the fall.  So I was young, I mean I wasn't 16 and pregnant, but I felt ready. I also did not believe at the time that I had other options besides having the baby.  I get that there are other options out there, but I didn't feel comfortable with those other decisions, I'd gotten myself into this mess I was going to clean it up! 2.

So they say having an About Me page is very important for bloggers.  It's the page people click on after they have clicked on your post and want to find out more about you.  To see if they can maybe connect with you and them maybe they want to return and read more of your posts, or something like that, at least theoretically. For the longest time I basically had a "under construction" sign on my about me page.  Bad Bad Now over the holidays I worked on my About me page.  I read some blogs on doing about me pages and how to make them interesting but the most important piece of advice was to be real in the About Me page. It's like an autobiography, or a resume for blog readers.  If they like your About me page they are going to come back  and find out what else you've been up too. Now I have to continue working on my blog, to make it a true reflection of who I am or a true reflection of my public self.  I don't need to share everything, there are c...

Find a recent photo of yourself and post it. So I have given you two photos.  One is of me a little Man after the first snow.  We had fun playing with Jett and Krista outside, even if Krista hates the cold.  The second one is after I had my hair done in Saskatoon and we played with a partial up do for my wedding.  I think I am going to be able to do my own hair and make up for my wedding and save me a couple hundred dollars. YEAH!!! Also my cousin used to be a hair dresser so she said she would help me with my hair!!
