OOTWW & TFF #17

4 Comments

ootww

I think I may have to make a trip to the eye doctor soon. My left eyeball has been giving me an issue that I apparently didn’t realize I had until I complained to the Boyf last night. He said it wasn’t the first time I complained about it. Which got me a little panicked because I have a short term memory and didn’t realize it had hurt earlier in the month.

It could also be due to strain on the eyes as I’m at a computer for a good 13 hours a day. Working 8 hours, then coming home and either blogging, or doing something on my iPad. So, I think next week I’ll pop into the eye doc and see what’s going on. It feels like I’m getting a sinus flu. That’s what the pressure on the eye feels like. Know that annoying feeling? Jeesh.

I’ve also been trying out new foundation samples at Sephora this entire week. From Make Up For Ever HD Foundation, Nars Sheer Glow, to Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H. Unfortunately I love all of them. Why did that happen? I’m usually unbelievably picky when it comes to picking out a foundation, and now I happen to love all three? Lame. That makes it difficult to choose.

Here are my fancy smanchy outfits from the week. I’m partially pleased with the colors this week. I have no idea if I changed anything or they are the exact same as last week. Let’s pretend it’s not the latter…

Onto Triple F Friday:

Charlotte from lipglossiping published a great blog post about earlier in the week: At what point do blogs become purely paid advertisers?

Onto the topic of blog posts. British Beauty Blogger writes: Whether We Like It Or Not: how bloggers become tiered.

beauty productsThis post features three different categories: skin, hair, and styling products that Ashley uses. For those looking for some great new products to try or who would like to recommend their favorites.

OOTWW & Triple F Friday #16

2 Comments

I’ve decided to do a little something new with my outfits of the work week. Let me know if you like this style better, or if you prefer that I go back to the other way. I think you can see more detail in my outfit from Wednesday-Friday.

ootwwI’m still working on trying to figure out the new camera that I got for Christmas from the Boyf. I had to photoshop every image this morning, to brighten it up. Especially the bathroom photos. It’s a lot of work! I don’t know if I should go back to my old camera for my OOTD posts or not…

Before I get into Triple F Friday I want to tell you about Vine app (more info) that I now use on my iPad. It’s the coolest thing ever and right now I can only find it in the apps under iPhone. So download it if you have it, and add me under spiffykerms! It’s a six second movie you can film, pause and it pastes it all together to make . For instance, I had no idea you weren’t supposed to stir Chobani greek yogurt. Just fold it over. Huh! I only have one video up right now since it’s difficult to film on the iPad as it is much more chunkier. Ah, just go download it :)

farapartfxCara shows us all how to get perfectly groomed eyebrows, no matter how messed up they may be! I need this. I keep taking chunks off the top of my eyebrows when I wax them at home. Oops.

megsphotoMeg did Thankful Thursday on her blog yesterday. Meg, oh boy — I am also thankful that this week we could get rid of our winter jackets for a day or two. It was soo nice!

panko chickenAly from The Newlywed Life cooks up a delicious supper the other night. Doesn’t this sound amazing? “Panko crusted, ricotta and spinach stuffed chicken” She also had mashed cauliflower with it. I’ve yet to try that – in fact I may end up mashing some of my cauliflower into the potatoes I plan on mashing up this weekend. Girl has also got some style too. Love her blog, give her a follow or comment!

I’ve always loved “A Day In The Life” blog posts, where a blogger documents basically everything s/he does throughout the run of a day. It was difficult to remember to document it all, and I felt like I was wasting time writing stuff down, especially in the morning. So here we go, a day in the life of me from last Tuesday January 22, 2013:

Gotta be honest you guys. I don’t eat this healthy all the time. In fact, I stocked up on some fresh fruits while I was out the other night so you wouldn’t know that I ate CANDY for snacks throughout my day. Oops. Though, I did feel awesome the next day. So maybe I should probably cut down on the candy consumption…

Hope you enjoyed the post!
