** updated** The great mascara search. Bobbi Brown smokey eye

I have the hardest time finding a great mascara. I have a million samples and I think it is time to put them to the test to see which one is the best. The will be graded on the following criteria; length, darkness, smudge ability, and duration. Major deductions if they flake.  Today I am going to use Bobbi Brown smokey eye mascara. http://m.sephora.com/product/P382581?skuId=1562024 There's the wand. Not too fancy.  Ok here it is. I took the picture with only one eye done so we can compare to naked lashes. I will update this afternoon to see if we have any flake off.  ** update** We have flaking and fall out. It's not quite noon Verdict- gave it a good try, but lots of smudging. Would wear to a luncheon or a baby shower or something. Not good for every day use. Pros: held up well. Lashes still nice and separate. No clumping. Cons: smudge; fall out.  Score: 6/10. 

Why Bath and Body Works?

I went shopping this weekend. Was just going to window shop; I'm in lockdown till after our DisneyWorld trip in a few weeks. Anyway, stopped into Bath and Body Works. They had the most fantastic scent in there. Smelled like a gigantic lemon sugar cookie. Smelled so crisp and fresh and lemony! I just loved it. Lemonchello is its name. Fabulous- and of course it comes in a candle, shower gel, lotion, body creme... yeah. I'm $50 lighter. Thanks BBW.

I have a hard time with scents. Allergies- thanks genetics. Anyway, I can't do florals. I can do citrus scents so I am super pumped about this one.

KJ likes!

Kj doesn't like much. Her had a few toys that he really enjoys. He's an old grouch.  So here's my review of the 5 sided activity cube. Link below for Amazon. .

First it has a shape sorter on one side. Pretty cool. Next it has a piano keyboard so you can play some cool tunes. On each key there's an animal face and it asks you some questions.  On the top is an arrow that can point to several animals. All in all it's pretty darn cute.

Favorite super bowl commercials!

While we waited for the Lady GaGa show- we had to watch some reality show; I don't know I didn't really follow. Anyway, there were several cute commercials, several lame commercials, and several wtf are the doing here commercials. I graded on three criteria; humour, audience appeal, and awww factor. Extra points if they were not political.

Lamest Commercial: H&R Block and Watson.  Some super it stuff to help you do taxes. Big wooo. Quote from my dad, "It's just taxes, come on!" 1/10.

Poorest use of a celebrity: Justin Bieber in the football dance. So lame, I don't even remember what They were selling and I took notes. They tried and failed miserably to be funny. 0/10

Now on to the best. They were three that really stood out for me. So I'll save the best for last.


Best Slapstick: Melissa McCarthy in Kia. She basically tried to save the world by fails miserably. 8/10

Best Hahaha and WTF moment: Skittles. Just watch it! Romance the Rainbow! 8/10

Best twist: Bai bai bai. Christopher Walken. Just watch it. I loved it. 10/10 watch it follow the YouTube link!

Honorable Mention for Human Intrest Factor:  Honda, chasing the dream.



There ya go! I didn't consider any Movie Trailers or TV shows on this list because that's too subjective. I do say that The Handmaidens Tale looks pretty interesting

Lady Gaga slays- as usual.

Like are you even surprised? That woman works. She absolutely gives her all to every performance. I was lucky enough to watch her in concert back in 2010 and I have to say that she gave it her all. That woman sang and dances and brought it the entire time.  She WORKS.  So you can imagine my eye roll when I saw this little post.  Boycott GaGa? As if. No, conservatives. Good try though.  GaGa   would never! She is giving her all to this performance in this moment. She's not going to let politics drag her down in this. She is art and music. so if you boycotted you missed an anwesome show and I suggest you watch it asap.

#makefacebookfunagain

Ok is anyone happy with the state of the union right now? Like seriously? I don't actually care about your opinions- this is NOT the forum for that. Wrong blog, peeps. What I want to bitch about is every one bitching about everything. Spoiler alert- it's not helping! It's making everything worse. Facebook is the worst. Everyone is a keyboard warrior! Look people- stfu for real! What happened to the overwhelming posts of your kids doing something dumb? How am I supposed to know what you're eating every second if your fighting with randoms on the news sites? Where are the pictures of you working out?!? I cannot cope. The hatred is unreal. I need fuzzy animals!! Let this be a public service announcement. Let's make Facebook fun again. Hell at this point I'd welcome random FarmVille requests. This is an SOS. Send memes stat!!!!

Omg!

So I seem to have forgotten about my little blog here- never fear! I'm back and better than ever. On another note- maternity leave should really last a year. He's still not sleeping through the night. My usual outfits consist of business casual with mysterious shoulder stains; one of the benefits of being a human handkerchief. For a while there my signature scent was eau du breast milk. And for any of you bitches that say "oh you shouldn't be complaining, babies are a blessing yadda yadda- you know what babies are hard. I don't care (see title Care c?) I haven't slept through the night in forever.  I've notticed a direct corroboration in my lack of Care and my lack of sleep.

Those of you who stay at home- how the hell do you do it? The lack of adult interaction is so hard! I started having conversations with myself so I can remember adult words.  Staying at home and taking care of small children is a full time job- without vacations and sick time! And when the SO gets home from work- you still don't get a break. It's dinner time and dishes and laundry and bath time and bed time.

Tribute to motherhood complete- Beyoncé is having twins!!!!! Name guesses y'all? Gender guesses? Ooooooo celebrity name game is so much fun!
