Happy Valentine's Day to all! My Sunday :)

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone (I know i'm like late posting this) but i've been extremely busy today! I didn't get to go to the gym this morning, and I was so busy running errands, being with the kiddos and cleaning...ahh.. lol

It's okay i'm going to resume tomorrow! :) thinking about doings legs and somethin'.. not sure yet ;) but probably going to go at 1030pm.. since Hubby is off.

Since Hubby was working on Valentine's day - we're going to be spending it later today (since it's 1am and it's Monday already lol).. so YAY! He did surprise me and got me a dozen long stemmed roses this morning & got our daughters a balloon each :) what a sweetheart! (excuse the messy room






Anyway, I did go to target today to pick up a few things, and ended up buying a few Sterilite Drawers for my make-up. I'll take pictures of it and post them, i'm just not sure how i'm going to organize everything since I sorta just had it in my little train case that was broken lol.. and since my collection is growing, i needed a place to put all my stuff nicely so that i'm not digging everywhere in my "box" as i call it trying to get ready for work.

I FINALLY recorded my video review on the GEO Nudy grey circle lenses that I was sent to by DBeautyShop.com. I'll edit it later today, and perhaps do another tutorial on everyday brown/neutral eyeshadow look on Wednesday! I also picked up the Wet & Wild Mega Eyes Creme Eyeliner, since I was real disappointed with the Maybelline Eye Studio lasting drama one I had recently purchased. I must say, I've only tried the Wet n wile one just once (right before i did my video review, and i absolutely LOVE IT! it is SO dark/black, just how i like it. I didn't use the brush that it came with, it was way too stiff and too short for me lol.. I ended up using my Bent eyeliner brush from Sonia Kashuk.

The reason why I didn't like the Maybelline Gel Eyeliner that was supposedly comparable to MAC Fluidline Blacktrack.. was that it was NOT as dark as i'd hoped it was (and the picture on the box/packaging it came with - not the same).. It went on my skin like navy blue with a hint of shimmer/glitter which I did not like. It looked like i wasn't even wearing any eyeliner.. And that is my pet peeve, because I Look dead without eyeliner lol.. so that i did not like. Plus the color thing was not what i was expecting so yea lol.. So i'm probably going to sell it (if anyone is interested, please let me know).. it would definitely by suitable for those that like long lasting gel eyeliners that are not as bold/dark.. more natural looking.. (which in my post about the dang brown liner you know i do not look good with haha)..

Here's a picture of me and the eyeliner (sorry my eyeshadow is sort of fading - i did my recording of the video review real late) but i absolutely love it.. (yes this picture is a sneak peek from the video! :)



:) I love it so far! yay! ..

I did pick up a few other things, i'll leave that for another post.

I did enjoy Valentine's day with my little girls :) so overall it was a great day!

I'm super tired from cleaning/laundry and running around doing errands.. so.. i'm gonna hit the hay.. gotta get up early tomorrow for work ughh! lol..

Just a Heads up - I'm going to have a blog sale on a lot of things from make-up to purses, shoes and MORE so keep an eye out! i'm gathering pictures together at the moment as i have tons of unused/barely used etc stuff i'd rather have someone else put them to good use.

Anyway.. enough rambling.. good night!!!!!!

Saturday 02/13/2010 Gym Session

Hey Good Morning Everyone!

So I fell asleep at freakin 2AM watching "Dexter" with Hubby lol - we are barely done with Season 1.. OMG i'm hooked! So I freakin fell asleep wearing my damn make-up from yesterday..

And when I woke up - i was in a bit of a rush, trying to eat breakfast, take my pre-workout supplement, brush my teeth and wash my face - i didn't do my eyeshadow as it was gonna take me forever cause it's on there pretty good - so EXCUSE my video LOL I do not put make-up to go to the gym!

and if any of you are wondering.. NO i was not driving. I was just watching the neighbors pass by lol cause i was recording myself and they were staring at me so just to clear that up!



LOL don't mind the rattle of my keys.. i was SOOO cold i was trying to keep warm by moving LOL and so i kept jittering my legs around haha! gosh i'm such a nerd in the morning.. or in general hah! guess you can see how dorky I am! OH well!


this is my first day back at the gym from missing a freakin week from my stomach flu.. ughh! hate when i miss the gym.. but :) be back soon Beauties!

UPDATED
Shoulder exercises done today:

Seated Dumbbell Press (3 sets of 8 repetitions 12lbs each hand)
Side Raises (3 Sets of 8 repetitions 12lbs each hand)
Front Raises (3 Sets of 8 repetitions 12lbs each hand)

Biceps:
Seated Dumbbell Curls (3 sets of 8 repetitions 15lbs each hand)
Hammer Curls (3 sets of 8 repetitions 15lbs each hand)

Tip: When lifting the weights, make sure it's a weight that is challenging enough that you have to really work to finish those reps! ;)

Since it was my first day back at the gym, and Karen & D were going to Frisco for V-Day (Have fun guys!) I didn't want to over do it.

MY First Blog Award/TAG! YiPPie!

Okay - let's just say this is my first "blog award/tag" ever! SO woo hoo!

I was tagged by Gorgeous Princesa Livia

and the rules of this tag are:

"Post 10 things that make you happy, try to do at least one of them today, link back to the person who awarded you and pass along for up to ten people."




1. Family - They make me the most happiest. Whenever I am down, I look at my beautiful children and they ALWAYS brighten up my day! My Husband is the best ever! he knows exactly how to make me happy :) I LOVE Them!

2. GYM/Working Out - Working out/lifting weights, living a healthier lifestyle makes me happy! I know pumping some iron and hashin' all my issues out at the gym works for me - when I can't slap a b***~ lol.

3. My Car - Okay it sounds silly - but My Car is super important to me and makes me happy - because it's a means of transportation for me.. If I need to get away, visit my parents, GO SHOPPING! it makes me happy shifting the gears - steppin on the clutch and just zo0ming my way!

4. Make-Up - Make-up and beauty products definitely are on this list.. I mean I FEEL like crap if I don't wear make-up.. and I feel extremely happy when I get myself all prettied/dolled up.. even if it's for nothing - it just makes me feel good! AND I am always happy learning new tricks of the trade from other Guru's.. :)

5. Vlogging/Blogging - I actually LOVE to blog and video blog.. it gives me a sense of release, an outlet of some sort, where I can just relax.. I'm really shy in person, so I feel some sort of comfort when I blog, and also when i'm doing my video blogs - because I can be my absolute self without anyone really infront of me.. :)

6. FOOD - Yes I am a fitness junkie - but i LOVE food! not much I could add, but food makes me happy!

7. Reading - I actually do like to read, whether it be books to magazines, i just love reading and learning new words everyday! (lol no i don't read the dictionary hehe, but yea i like books - like twilight lol!)

8. Shopping - WHO doesn't love to shop? (well i'm sure there are those that hate it).. I do Like to shop on occasions.. I used to be an obsessive shopper.. but i've learned to control it, but still enjoy a little splurge here and there for myself.. i work pretty effin' hard to have the things I do.. I Love shopping for my little girls though! LOVE little girl clothes and stuff - absolutely adorable!

9. Girly-Stuff - I LOVE getting my hair done, nails did.. I don't get them done very often, although I do try to maintain.. but it's real hard when you work full-time, have 2 toddlers, try to study for school etc.. but when I do - It makes me feel "like a natural woman" HAHA ok i kid, but yes it makes me feel good about myself!

10. TV - I love watching The Office, Heroes, Dexter, True Blood.. those shows make me happy - keeps my mind off work stress lol..

Alright - so yes i have a weird list ;) but yes - these are the things in my life that make me the happiest!

Target Thursday.. upcoming Giveaway!!.. name change?! so muchh!

Yes! I did go to target after work, but I was sort of rushed since Hubby was really hungry while we went, and we decided to bring our youngest daughter Jasmyn with us.. So.. my time was cut short.. Not only that, but omg the place was flooded with people. I guess last minute shopping for V-Day! yikes! lol..

Anyway, the short time that I was there, i was able to quickly find these items because i've been desperately searching for a foundation that I like.. and heard all the rave about this on YouTube and Makeupalley so I decided to see for myself..

I didn't have much time to check the colors LOL (always sucks to be rushed).. so we'll see I got Medium Beige i think..

But here's picture of the stuff I got:

L-R -- Nude Attitude L/S, ColorStay Foundation, Mauve it Over L/S


This actually looked a lot better when I did a better job blending it in lol, sorry for the crappy application job LOL! but I like it!


I LOVE this one too! we'll see though, I Love it a little bit more than my NYX lipsticks that I have in this similar color because when I apply it, a little goes a long way.. not like the NYX ones, I have to put a lot on.. but that's just me.. still love all my lipsticks! Just need to actually use them! LOL

I'll give you all my thoughts and stuff on the other foundations/powders that i have.. when i get the chance.. i'm hoping i've found the one though! we'll see!

When I originally made my youtube channel - it was completely random and spontaneous.. and now i'm like hmm.. because I'm really not used to be called Khris lol.. it's either Khristine or Xtine (pronounced ex-TEEN).. so it kinda.. well not bothers me, just feels awkward for me LOL..

and was wanting to change my blogspot to randomnesswithXtine.. but it rolls off the tongue better as randomnesswithkhris.. *sigh* lol.. i'm SO indecisive with names LOL! Ask anyone that has known me - i am notorious for changing my online screen names a million times before it suites me.. What do yall think? Keep it? Change it? HALP! lol..

anyway - i think that's it for tonight! I'm pretty excited for this weekend - to be doing my DBeautyshop review on the circle lenses, and also my "neutral" look tutorial :) weee!

Any requests?

But on a brighter note, i posted on my twitter today (@RandomnesswithK) that As soon as I hit 100 Followers here on My Blog and a 50 subbies on my YouTube Channel.. I'm going to be doing 2 separate Giveaway products! :) I'm very much excited as i've reached 20 subbies so far on my Youtube page! :) So Please Spread the word! :)

alright Beauties! That's it for now!

Catching Up with stuff..

Sorry My posts haven't been all that interesting this past weekend - I've been pretty sick with Gastritis etc and so I haven't really been "all there" lol.

So let me just recap the weekend and everything a little bit more - and of course go over this week thus far.

Well I'll start over with Sunday - I forgot to mention that during the game, I went with my mom to this store in LA, i think it was called "Kim's Home Center" ... and i was just browsing around with her.. I love stores like this, they have all these neat and cute little gadgets for almost everything/anything you could think of!

Of course I didn't really see much I liked except these products. I don't remember where i heard of them, but the name sounded/looked familiar, and I was looking for a facial wash and decided to just try it out..

The brand is Kracie/Naive:


I got the peach and the aloe vera washes..


Had to get the matching Shampoo/Conditioner - just to try it out

They all smelled amazing! And I love that! lol.. But I did try out the peach facial wash, and i must say - it made my face feel super soft/silky afterwards.. As I was washing the soap off, i could feel my skin getting squeaky clean LOL.. it didn't burn my skin or anything - so I liked this one.. I am still going to get the Laneige facial wash though - because the samples that I had gotten, I finished and I absolutely loved how it removed my makeup completely! (which other soaps have a hard time doing)

Anyway - I forgot to mention about the time I went to Ulta.. I bought this facial cleansing sponge that I wanted to all share with you.. It's SOOO Soft! I love washing my face with this, it's not harsh and abrasive to my skin, and it gets in all the right spots (corners of the nose etc).. so this was awesome - luckily i bought 4 of them since they were like 1.50 each.. :) yay! this is what it looks like:



so yea, we just finished up sunday watching the rest of the game and hanging out with family.. lol that was that.. :) Here's a picture of my youngest daughter and I just chillin' - LOVE her "cheeeese" smiley face hehe


so next, I'll start with Tuesday..

I typically only work half-days on tuesdays, because I was hired for only 36 hours at my job.. i wish it was just the whole 40 hours sometimes, but I guess i'm really happy I do get that half-day to myself/kids/family etc.

My Package from DBeautyshop.com finally arrived! i'm so excited, but wasn't feeling well enough to do the review.. I'll save that for this weekend if possible.. but anyhow..

I wasn't feeling well so I just kinda slumped around at home.. But Towards the end of the night, the pain was just getting so severe that I couldn't take it anymore and I was actually in tears from it.. Sadly to say, I had no one to watch my girls so that I could go to Urgent care (since it was after 5 and the doctor's offices are usually closed).. and My hubby was working but wasn't answering the phone there.. so i was just writhing in pain at home.. while the girls were just going nuts LOL..

but Finally hubby called home and i was bawling cause the pain was just horrible.. and so they sent him home from work, so that he could take me to the hospital.. and glad he did.. they did some blood tests - which of course came back negative.. and diagnosed me with Severe Gastritis.. so i'm not supposed to eat anything greasy, spicy, no chocolate, caffeine.. basically anything good that i like haha.. ;)


And since they gave me Phenergan (for nausea) and Morphine (for the pain) injection.. i was knocked out most of today! so i slept all of today, and woke up only to eat crackers here and there, take some antibiotics from my last trip to the doctors lol.. but otherwise feeling better..

I'm going to be doing my video review on the circle lenses that I had got from DBeautyShop.com (they had asked me to do a video review if they sent me circle lenses).. I"m very much excited!

I also wanted to do another make-up tutorial.. so keep an eye out for that! ;)

Alright everyone.. till next time!

Just another Manic Monday...

Hello Everyone! Just as the title says.. it was just another Manic Monday.. I wish it was Saturday! LoL..

anyway - hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I sure did.. :)

Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday.. and we decided to spend the day at My parents' house because my brother and our friends we're going to be over to watch the game, cook some bbq and eaaat! LOL..

although there was a TON of yummy and delicious food, I was a good girl and ate small portions.. didn't overeat, and made sure what I ate wouldn't affect me haha :)

Karen, Derick and I did go to the gym in the morning - it was AWESOME lol.. not to mention the unsolicited advice someone had tried to give us at the gym.. (which is my pet peeve - just because we are women, please do not give advice if no one is asking you - please!)

Anyway - I don't have a "hello" video like I did on saturday's workout ;) but what we did yesterday:

Legs:
Good Mornings (3 sets of 8 repetitions at 40lbs)
Barbell Squats using olympic barbell (3 sets of 8 repetitions at 80lbs)
Bulgarian Lunges (I think that's what they're called lol - 3 sets of 8 repetitions)

Then we finished up with some Ab workouts.. (crunches, leg lifts etc).. I felt ggrreat! I'm rather sore (a good sore though!)

anywho, back on subject..

yesterday I wanted to post about the nails that i had gotten.. they are absolutely adorable! LOL.. they are the glue-on nails the brand is Broadway.. it's my first time ever using the glue-ons.. but i love them.. here are some pictures:



the box of the nails


the contents of the package - on the other side is more/extra nails, and a wooden nail pick i think it's called


Super easy instructions and visual on how to apply them and then instructions on how to remove them


What they look like on :)


This will be my Nails of this week!

And they are actually pretty sturdy.. because all day I was super busy doing procedures, giving injections, preparing medication, lifting, picking, pulling tabs off of medicine etc.. and none of them broke off! they are real sturdy and i like them.. they are real nice (and have many other designs) and they don't look thick like acrylic nails do (the ones i've seen at least).. so these are natural enough for me to wear to work, because they look like a manicure lol ;)

Anyway - so far i give these two thumbs up! :) I'm looking forward to getting more designs.. beats spending 30 bucks on a fullset! and end up ruining your nails!

I didn't really get anything else.. lol.. I have been trying out my circle lenses.. and i must say i've worn the hypersize gray one two days in a row, and they have not dried out my eyes! ;) I love them! i think tomorrow i'm going to wear the 4 tones blue pair..i think lol.. depends which scrubs i'm gonna wear :)

There is just SOO much stuff i want to purchase like Laneige products, I want to try out some BB Creams, some make-up, I really want those Muji Drawers I saw from Dainty*Dollymix' blog! love it!

I've been wanting a new webcam because i feel like when i do my tutorials, you can't see the colors.. and i've seen reviews/test videos on youtube of the webcams i've been considering (logitech quickcam pro 9000, quickcam orbit af) what do you all use?

I also want to get the Konad nail stamping system.. lol.. GAHHH! i don't know what to buy first.. because I am on a budget! right now i'm in such a "lipstick, eyeliner and nail craze".. don't know what it is.. today was the first day using the liquid eye liner.. and to tell you the truth, i seriously need practice haha! im SOOO used to using pencil, that liquid liner is such a challenge to me.. that and i have shakey hands!


Well that's my bloggedy blog for this Monday - i'm super tired from today's events at work.. and i'm just going to rest up.. because Karen, Derick and I are all heading to the gym!

i'll make a video blog soon (when i get the extra time - or get a new webcam ughh!) on my weightloss journey and any progress i've made (which i'll proudly say YES!).. ;)

I'm going to post a FOTD in a little while!
