Let's Talk Lashes!

I love cosmetics.  I am a total product junky!  I am a lover of bright red lipstick, black mascara, and all things color.  Even on days when I know I am not going to see anyone, I will go and play with my look.  It's just fun for me to try new products!  This summer, I took the plunge and started my own Mary Kay business.  As an independent beauty consultant, I have been in the know for all of the latest and greatest products in Mary Kay.  I'll put it this way:  I. Am. In. Heaven.  :)

One of the products that came out this summer was the new Lash and Brow Building Serum.  This stuff is Mary Kay's response to prescription Lattise.  The greatest news ever: unlike Lattise, the lash and brow building serum does not have those icky side effects and it is WAY more affordable!  We're talking $38 + tax. . . . Not bad right!?  If you are like me, you are skeptical. . . .  Will this stuff really thicken my lashes?  Well I can say after 4 weeks: YES!

Swipe this stuff on at night like an eyeliner or a brow gel (whichever you want to thicken) and while you sleep you will be beautified!

Check out my results:

Sorry for the crappy pics (these were from my iPhone).  You get the picture!

Are you ready to try this stuff?  If you don't already have an independent beauty consultant, I would LOVE to supply you!  Just go to www.marykay.com/kellynrose to order.  The serum is $38 + tax and shipping.  US Shipping is just $5.

I love exposing people to the things I love and this serum is definitely a product I LOVE. 

Goodbye College Boy's Bathroom

Right now, the hubbs and I rent a townhome in Dallas.  Since our place is a rental, there is not a lot of remodeling we can do.  Our place is pretty blah . . . and being on a limited budget right now due to saving for a house, not a lot about that is going to change anytime soon!  However, one thing changed today: no more college boy bathroom!  Last weekend, I informed Henry that our bathroom is a bachelor pad bathroom and we need to change that!  He laughed and said ok, but didn't know how exactly it was "bachelor padish."

I present exhibit A:

Notice the beautiful shower curtain . . .  All we have had as a shower curtain for the two months we have been in this place is this clear shower liner . . .   It feels so revealing.  Privacy please!  When we first moved into our place, we needed a shower curtain.  I didn't want to decide on bathroom decor right then and there, so we decided to purchase a cheap liner and then buy a curtain once we decided colors.  Well, the liner became our curtain.  For a boy this is fine.  For a girl, this just does not feel homey!  Next take a look at the bright red mats . . . does this bathroom ensemble not just scream college boy bathroom?  These were Henry's at his last apartment.  So, it was time for a change!

I headed to Target today and found a really cute curtain, grabbed a white bath mat and a beige hand towel to make it a little more homey.  I also added some mirrors to the wall that I already had.  I'd say operation make the bathroom less of a bachelor pad worked and for only around $40 it was definitely a success!  :)

and so it begins . . .

I have debated with myself over writing this blog many many times.  Now, I'm in a new city, with a new life, and a LOT of free time on my hands.  I have decided that this is the perfect time to start keeping track of my days through blogging.  My name is Kellyn and I love Jesus, married life, cooking, trying my hand at DIYer projects, and like any girly girl, makeup.  I'm a wife to Henry and a puppy mommy to Winston. The three of us recently moved from small town Louisiana to Dallas, TX (BIG change!)  Now, we are adjusting to city life, the hubby's new job, and I am working part time and enjoying being a happy homemaker.  This blog will help me keep track of the days that seem to totally whiz by!  Hope you enjoy my journey!
