Show us your life - Beauty Secret

So over at Kelly's Korner, she's asking about beauty secrets. As you know, from the post below...I recently got my hair cut and colored. I thought it might be fun to see past hair.

I need change when it comes to hair. I get bored and change it practically every year.

Kindergarten - 1988 I don't have many pictures from High School on facebook (which is where I pulled all these off of)

College - Frehsman Year (with my roomie Sara...we were Sara squared) Spring 2003- very short and VERY blond... I remember the day I got this hair...I spent way too much on it but at the time, I felt sexy and fun. It didn't hurt that I went to this from my natural color in a pont tail all the time. It's a wonder I even had friends during my freshman year. :)

Same time period - Fall 2004 - Sig Ep formal in little Rock

College - Junior Year - Spring 2005 - I went darker and a little bit shorter - This was my favorite cut and color. It's also the hair I had when I met my dear husband. Summer 2007 - Bachelorette party in Hot Springs - i was growing it out for the wedding. It was blonder than it looks though... July 2007 - Wedding Hair - I loved it that day -

Fall 2007 - When I got home from Hawaii (honeymoon) I cut it and colored it - it was super easy to do - plus I'm a short hair girl!

Fall 2007 Fall 2009/ Winter 2010 - Pregnancy hair - this is pretty much as natural as it gets. I can do it curly or straight. I've got some natural curl so I can gel it and get some volume. It was so full and lush...I loved it.

Fall 2010 - I got in the habit of putting it up wet and using bobby pins to pin the "poof" up...

Since my new hair cut, (last week), I've started using more product than I have ever before. I use Paul Mitchell's Forming foam and spray wax now. I LOVE IT!!! The last couple of days, I've gelled it and scrunched it. I love this new hair. The color and the cut are so me. It's very easy to do and I love the fact that it doesn't have to be done "perfectly" to look good. Messy is way easier.
Make-up wise:

I am a simple kind of girl. I wear Almay concealer, loose powder and Mac blush. My eye make-up is what I change the most - mostly all Almay (I love the smoky eye shadows). I buy all my make-up and "face supplies" at the drug store or Target.

God Bless!

Show us your life Fridays - Living Rooms

Over at Kelly's Korner, she's hosting Show us your life Fridays and she's doing home tours...this week is living rooms...

At one point over the summer, we thought we might list our house..so, I began the process of decluttering. It didn't get very far b/c we decided to wait. So...I got the majority of my pics taken down. I've gotten a few put back up. Feel free to comment on how to make my living room better...

This is what you see when you walk in the front door.

The view from "the Hole"...(see picture below for explaination)...I love my glider...we need a new dining room table...tha's for another post though...This is what we call, "the Hole"...it's this odd sitting area beside the front door. We've finally gotten it decorated...but guess what...we never sit there...it's the chair we use to hold Molly's carseat and take her month pics... The view from the kirchen...I would really like to get rid of that tv and get a flat panel...but what would we do with that one...put it n the basement of our new home...if we get a new home with a basement... The view from the fireplace...I LOVE our big brown couch...it's so comfortable...it's where I spent the majority of my pregnancy...

Our fireplace and mantle... I usually decorate it for the season...it's currently decorated boringly (if that's a word) b/c of the idea of moving...(oh, and ignore Molly's toys on the bottom) In "the Hole"...I love this b/c Justin and worked really hard on these pieces...I usually change the flowers but I didn't get to that this summer, these will stay through the winter...

This is similar to the piece above...both were a part of my childhood bedroom suit...there's also a book shelf that goes on the piece above but we didn't paint it. The piece below is the nightstand. We primed them with Kilnz, painted them black and then gave them a coat of glaze and beating...the nightstand now serves as our table between the couches.

I thought I would include this (it's not in the living room but the guest bedroom)...but I wanted to show you guys what the pieces above looked like before we painted them. This has a mirror that sits on it but it's still at my parents house. When we get a bigger house, I will use these in the guest bedroom. There's a bed (full or queen), a desk with a bookshelf, and chair, and a lingerie chest.

I would love to have a couch table and new coffee table but I need space for those things...like I said above though...maybe when we get a basement!

God Bless!
