Random Blogging..

So wow! the week has zipped by (thankfully!) because on May 23rd, we will start working on our new house! I'm so very excited! I think i should take some pictures of it some day huh? lol..

Anywho.. Sunday Hubby and I decided to be spontaneous and take the girls to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach.. the girls had a blast - we stayed there for a few hours since the weather wasn't all that great..

It was a bit chilly, but overall the girls had fun. The flowers in their hair that they are wearing, Hubby bought them.. he let the girls pick out the ones they wanted.. thought it was kinda sweet :) 

Monday came and went.. Hubby had another Game with AFGM (A Few Good Men - the name of their team).. and of course - they lost again LoL.. Here are some pix


(L-R) Ed, Jon, Hubby (in Grey shirt) and ME!

(My Hubby is #10 - HOTTIE! ;) )



Tuesday Came.. it was my half-day.. I had intended to go to Glendale Galleria to do my Back2Mac thingies.. but decided to finish depotting my Pre-Made Quads.. so It took me two hours to depot all my quads lol.. I'm going to update my post of my make-up collection since I no longer have any eyeshadow Pots and ALL my mac palettes are filled <3

Wednesday was a rough day at the office... Man was it SUPER busy.. got out late.. but luckily Hubby decided to take me and our girls out for dinner at Olive Garden.. was real delicious!

And Today - Had lunch with the Doctor I work with at Carrillo's near our work.. Had Carne Asada Burrito - had to take it home because that burrito was HUGE! I went home around 2PM.. because I had a serious migraine and thankfully let me go home.. 

Anywho.. i've got some errands to do here and there for our house.. (ughh gotta fax some papers over to DWP).. blah!

And Hello to my newest subbies! glad to have ya!

I've been kinda busy! catch-up post (long)

Sorry I've been MIA everyone! this is going to be a rather lengthy post as i'm going to be blogging from Mother's day (from my continuation from Saturday's Get up & Go Post)

So Sunday morning (Mother's day - Yay My 3rd one I believe!) Hubby & I decided to go to the new gym and work out Legs, Biceps and I did some extra cardio.. It was nice - NO one was there at 5:30AM.. real nice to get my workout outta the way so early - I was definitely pumped!

As I was looking around at the treadmills I noticed that they have TV's attached to them! You could plug your headphones into it and listen.. real cool and fancy.. lol



After the awesome gym session - we went home, showered.. had a nice breakfast (he cooked a yummy breakfast for me and the girls).. we then got ready and decided to go to IKEA to just look around at the furniture for possible ideas for our home :) yay! we were there jotting down prices etc.. and taking pictures of some of the items we liked



And on to the dining table (i liked the set up etc :) )



We did spend quite a bit of time there :) was real nice walking around and testing out the beds, furniture etc etc :) It was already time for lunch.. so of course I wanted to eat the meatballs from IKEA that we always get when we're here. 


This was our lunch :) (not just mine lol!)

Afterwards, hubby said we were going to go somewhere.. so i didn't think anything of it.. he took me to Glendale Mall! I was able to get my MAC Mineralize Creme foundation in NC25  & MAC MSFN in Medium


I was sooo Happy to get my stuff lol :) I was definitely so suprised that he took me to the mall! but yay I got my stuff.. I've been using it since I got it.. but the Mineralize Foundation did break my out with a huge cystic painful pimple so i stopped using it for a few days.. i'm debating about keeping it.. or returning it for some eyeshadows instead lol..

After the mall, we went to Living Spaces to check out their selection of furniture.. very pricey i must say! but out of everything, we liked the following:





afterwards we went home and let the girls take a nap.. and kinda just relaxed the rest of the day since we both had work the next day.. I honestly had the most perfect Mother's day ever! loved it!

Monday was just another day at the office.. our work was celebrating nurses week so every day of the week was something new.. i forgot what we did for Monday as it was real crazy busy and we were short 3 nurses to boot.. I did start my eyeshadow depotting project while hubby and his friends played some bball outside the house trying to get ready for Wednesday's bball game.


Tuesday, I requested the morning off (because I normally work half-days on tuesdays).. because it was the first day of registration at Tianna's Preschool.. so I wanted her to be the first one to be registered.. as they are only choosing i think the first 15-20 children for the class..  She came with me and was so excited at the thought of going to school.. that after we registered her and did the paperwork, she told me, "Mommy, now we have to go to the target and buy me a backpack".. lol ;)
Can't believe my baby is growing up so fast :(

After that, went to my appt to finally get my eyebrows waxed.. decided since it was in the area to head over to michael's to buy some magnets for my eyeshadow depotting project i was going to do..after that.. just sorta went home and cleaned like crazy.. was very nice :)

Wednesday after work, Hubby & I went to his basketball game.. he is in a basketball league with our friends.. so we all went to support them (my brother's on his team too)..

and here are some shots from the game :)
My hubby is wearing number 10 


Oh why of course I have my own Jersey!


The team they lost to, was SUPER taller than them.. and played with only 4 people on their team.. but we lost lol! crazy i know.. but the guys all had fun.. i did too! so that's all that matters next game is Monday! woo hoo!


Thursday was kind of a blur.. it was crazy busy.. we had some nursing students who i had a lot of fun showing around and teaching them stuff.. afterwards just went home and knocked out.. nothing too special to report on that day...

Friday.. same thing.. the week had been dragging because it's just been so busy crazy and exhausting and stressful at work.. i decided donate blood since we were having a blood drive at our work..



good thing i donated blood towards the end of the day, because I was seriously dead-tired! after work.. i really just knocked the heck out lol.. I was supposed to go to the movies with hubs but i was SO drained, lightheaded and dizzy.. i needed to rest lol..

Saturday after Tianna's Ballet class, we went home, had some lunch.. kinda just relaxed since i'm still kind of tired and exhausted from donating blood.. on a whim, i decided to do something different to my hair.. i still wanted to keep it long, but something different... well.. :) 

Before (sorry i look a hot mess AHAHA - it's real hot at home)



My hair has grown SO much, my layers are just crazy.. and so i just wanted a change.. 

lol me trying to be sexy.. guess it ain't really workin haha


But I really wanted something different.. well I've been really wanting bangs.. and decided to shoot for it! i think i like how it came out.. just have to get used to it.. don't know how i'll really style it yet as i've never really had bangs this short before...

well.. i guess i'll end this blog - since i'm gonna get up to go to the gym at 5AM! gonna do legs with hubs! <3

MAC Collection :: Superglass - Are you getting?

So I know it's just came out (not yet if you are international).. is anyone getting anything from this particular MAC Collection? I've been hearing reviews on different forums, websites about how glittery/gritty this is.. 





Top to Bottom:
Cherry Electric, Disco Blend, Fab Frenzy, Gift Wrap, Sugar Overload,
Superflash!, Sweet Tart, Totally Bang!, Tunnel of Love
Said to retail about: $18.00 each

I don't know if i want to spend that much per lipglass if the reviews i've been reading are just.. "meh".. lol the colors look amazing in the tube, but of course we know that looks can be deceiving. i think i'm going to actually skip this collection and wait for the next one! :) 

if you have any of these - what are your thoughts? love it? hate it? 
and if you are looking to get something from this collection - which ones?

Get up & Go Saturday!

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the little absence from blogger world!

I've  been extremely busy  with work (draamaa!), yes My husband and I are officially first time HOME OWNERS! woo hoo! so we've been real busy with all that jazz.. and then of course I just finally updated the software on my Mommy Forums (www.WorldForMoms.com) and barely getting used to it.. it accidentally deleted the old portal, so i have to configure everything on there lol.. in time :)

Anywho, Hubby asked if I wanted to go to the gym with him... I of course love going to the gym with my hubs because he's my trainer lol! well.. we woke up at 5:20AM and got ready.. and boy was I in for an real extreme butt-kicking workout!

We did Chest & Back and I added in some ab work... which Hubby taught me a new back exercise that is a complex movement type exercise and really worked me the heck out! lol.. how awesome though getting that out of the way!

So afterwards, we had to do some tax stuff for being first time homeowners so that took up a few hours doing the necessary errands for that.. Karen & Derick were so kind enough to pick up Tianna and take her to ballet class since Sabrina and Tianna are in the same ballet class... Thanks guys! and they treated her out to lunch as well afterwards..

Hubs and I are getting up at 5AM to go to the new gym to work out.. i'm real excited as we're doing legs today and I know he's going to kick my butt haha! love it! if you all didn't know - my Man is a BEAST! .. he'd kill me if i posted pictures of him but - i'll have to sneak them on here one day!

anywho.. we did some more errands after we picked up Tianna.. we went to our fave place for our Supplements - but i didn't get anything from there since i'm just gonna use his protein for now too lol.. and then we headed to MAC.. and of course everything that I really really wanted to get they were sold out.. I really cannot believe i'm NC25! no wonder in most of my pictures my face is splotchy dark LOL.. cause i was previously color-matched as NC35! it was dark, but the MAC girls insisted (even though you could obviosuly tell my neck was 10 times lighter lol).. but anywho i went away sad.. but i didn't want to leave empty handed.. so i did get some brush cleaner (LOL).. and wanted to try the MAC Select Cover concealer... maybe next time.. i have a lot of eyeshadows that i need to B2M.. so i think when i have the time to do it (since i have 2 empty palettes to work on) i'm going to make the trip over to the Glendale Galleria (which is only about 25 mins away - but traffic sucks!)..



but i'm really trying to look for foundation/powder or something that's medium to full coverage that will last all freakin day lol.. cause honestly i hate when my make up is gone by the end of the day.. still struggling on finding the right combo.. I was recommended to get the Oil Control lotion.. will have to inquire about it.. if any of you lovelies have any recommendations for me - i'd love to hear them!

i was asked to swatch my collection (eyeshadows/lipsticks).. i think i just might do that! I remember posting my small collection back in the beginning of April.. and will have to update it as i've been doing a lot of swapping etc.. so my collection is growing! :)

oh while we're still on the topic of concealers, has anyone tried the MUFE concealer palettes? and which ones do they recommend? i've been eyeing them everytime i go into sephora.. but the girls there are so busy i never get a chance to ask.. and plus - i like doing some research on some items before purchasing.. hence the reason i didn't walk away at MAC with the foundation that was recommended (Studio Tech) since the other 2 I wanted weren't available.. lol..

Anywho! today was an extremely productive day.. and i'm EXTREMELY pooped! i'm looking forward to my gym session tomorrow!

Quick Fit Tip For 05/01/2010

Weightloss is mainly about diet! so just a quick tip for those that don't know that smaller portions are better! try eating your food in a smaller dish OR even better - kids plates/bowls! they are small but yet enough to fill you up!






Plus if you have kids - it'll make for a fun time during breakfast/lunch/dinner! :) my kids get a kick out of me using their kiddie princess plates! lol :)


You really should not eat 'til your 100% full. In all honesty - what would be best is eat til your 80% full.. eating healthy foods, smaller portions and add in the exercise = weightloss! :) 


My Fitness Idol! Jennifer Nicole Lee
