The biggest guy holding my baby girl- that's the baby in the previous post. Oh yeah- he is 6 years old now. The little guy to his left- he's so tall but he's just 3. My baby girl, well she is 11 months old but must have been 9 months in this picture. Again, so much has happened since my last post. It'd be impossible to let you in on my life entirely. However, one thing I will tell you is I plan to update this blog. I am obsessed with makeup as I've ever been and I feel like a little bit of life, a little bit of makeup, and a whole lot of love is what this blog was and can still be. I just haven't decided on whether I should mess with it, or make a new one and start fresh. It's been a very long time. I'll let you know in my next blog post....

Hello! I realize it has been 6 years since I last posted on my blog. I completely neglected it and for one reason or another, I decided to look at it and the memories flooded back. Once I had my first son, things went from busy and tired- to never having mommy time at all. So many things happened. Life happened. We've lost special people to us along the way too. Two months after my last post my father in law passed away. I had my second son 3 years later. Then, 6 months later my mom passes away. That happened the semester before I graduated from college with my bachelor's in Rehabilitation. I fell into a horrible depression for long time it seems but I forced myself back up. I enrolled back in school and had my third baby, my daughter, one month before I graduated with my Master's degree in Special Education in 2017. Yes- I've been one very busy mom. So- I have 3 kids now.

Meet Baby Junior! =-)
Sorry I haven't been online much lately- I usually get on Facebook or Twitter a little more because I have the apps on my phone but I haven't actually gotten online since I had my baby. I haven't worn makeup or gotten more than 3-4 hours of sleep a night either! So the only thing I can share are a few pics of the new man in my life- my son Junior!! =-D
I made a quick gif with a few pics- if you follow me on Facebook chances are you have already seen these and others. Hopefully once my baby starts getting more zzz's at night things will get a bit easier so that I can start up my makeup and blogging soon. Hopefully everyone has had a great month so far!! =-) Till next time!

A Quick Pregnancy Update
So, this is definitely not makeup- but I wanted to share since I haven't in a long time and it's something so big for me. On Monday I had my 33 week sonogram to see how my baby is doing- he's huge! He was 33 1/2 weeks and was measuring at 34 1/2 weeks which means this little man is a big guy! That honestly made me excited and nervous lol! Well, thing is my baby is facing down in the pic because he's breech. He's been breech since the last sonogram I had at 27 weeks. Heaven knows if he will be turning soon but One thing I am sure of- I will probably not be posting much next month since he's almost here. Today I turned 34 weeks and if he doesn't turn I have been told that I will be scheduled to have him 2 weeks early. I don't mind one bit as long as he is ok. I'm scared, nervous, excited, and anxious all at once not only about having him but about being a mom too. This is my first baby. I always wanted one and feel completely blessed about being given the opportunity to be someone's mom. Today after washing my hands in the restroom I looked up at myself and saw my belly bigger than ever. I put my hands on it and told him- "It's been a journey- a struggle and lots of tears-the last few months have been a life changing experience on its own. But now, I just can't imagine my life without you. I'm waiting for you with arms wide open." Yes, there goes a tear. Lol- I am hormonal and excessively sensitive lately so those come with no problem these days. Anyways, enough about me ranting off. I hope to be able to share more soon. Till next time! =-)

I DO NOT Understand Blogger Right Now...
Ok- This may sound a bit off topic (makeup) but I got on to see my timeline here on who's updated their blogs- so I can check them out. Instead there is some message saying it's going to change and I have no idea where to check out updated blogs right now. I don't understand it!!! I'll be updating my blog in a while but can anyone tell me in "simple" terms what's going on? Lol- I'm lost. =-/

My Defective Clarisonic Mia 2 in Peony
Hey you guys! It's been a while since I update this blog!! I haven't really been online much to let you know- Facebook is just an everyday thing because it's on my phone- otherwise- it wouldn't be. After school ended I just hadn't gotten on my laptop in days. But- I passed all my classes with A's- a total accomplishment that was tough to achieve! =-)
So- I got this because I totally felt like I deserved it- lol. I had been wanting one for so long and I cannot stress to you guys how many reviews I looked up before I plunged into this purchase. I got it at a 20% discount at skinstore.com and it's a pretty Limited Edition color in Peony. The Clarisonic promises a lot of things...
Out of hundreds of people who reviewed this online- I could only find two or three here and there that would say it wasn't all that- but never something bad. I actually have been using the Oil of Olay cleansing brush for a year now and just had to try this. Once I got my Clarisonic- I got to use it 3 times... very disappointed after a few hours when I realized it wasn't charging. As you can see- it was connected and the light was off. The gel cleanser above came with it but I have not tried it either since I had decided to use my Oil of Olay cleanser until I run out. I have a lot to go on that bottle too. Since this Mia wouldn't charge- I only got to use it three times with the only charge it came with... =-(
Yup- I took pics either way, regardless I loved what it did to my face those three times. I just so happen to have gotten a defective unit and have been waiting for my replacement for over a week. I am supposed to get it tomorrow and have been so impatient about it. It was amazing!! Soooo much better than the Olay brush- it left my face so much cleaner and smoother. I plan to use this for a while once I get my replacement and do a review- maybe even a video. It really was pretty awesome though and I am so looking forward to using it again. Hope everyone is having a good week!

Picture Craze!
If I have you on Facebook, you've already seen these. I wasn't going to post them- but I truly love this app. It makes pictures look so nice and I love the vintage-y look. I have it on my Iphone and it's called Pixlromatic but I'm sure you can get it on Android too. I love checking out Pinterest and Instagram once in a while too so if you have one- leave your info below and I will follow you! My Pinterest is http://pinterest.com/iridescentcolor/ and on Instagram I'm @iridescentcolors. I don't upload too much- I get on more to check out other people's pictures when I do. All these apps are pic crazy! They can be fun to use though, and although some people might think they ruin photos- I think they are fun to play with regardless. Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. God knows I needed the weekend to rest!! Till next time!

A Happy Pregnant Lady..
Spring Break was mostly posts I had put up from before that were scheduled to be posted so I am behind. For most of that week I spent it with my mom in the hospital so this week was insane! I had so much to catch up on for school and now- there's more. BUT- I am feeling very happy about my slowly growing belly. (Most days I just feel fat lol) I took this pic above to keep the memory of feeling pregnant and happy about it. Below is my latest sonogram. This boy is definitely getting huge. He's got a lot more meat on his bones now! Will definitely be updating the blog as usual. Hope everyone had a good weekend! =-)

My Baby- A Pregnancy Blog. =)
16 Weeks
This is a very non-makeup blog post. I wasn't sure about uploading this, but why not? I'm so proud of being pregnant and I'm excited about sharing this little guy with you all. As of yesterday I am 18 weeks and this was my sonogram pic which was two weeks ago. I found out that day that not only was my baby a boy, but I got to see how much he's grown and it's amazing!!
His legs in this pic were crossed/folded so you can't see how long they are- but I can promise they are huge. I haven't gone on a baby clothes shopping day yet- but I've been eyeing baby clothes for the last few months. My husband refuses to buy anything unless I've checked reviews/recall reports on things. So I've just postponed it until I'm sure what I'm going to get. I'm dying to buy his first onesies!!
My pregnancy hasn't been that horrible to me. I did have morning sickness a couple of weeks but never threw-up. My hubby did on the other hand. Actually, he's had more cravings and symptoms than me!! Up until recently I started getting a little bit of acne which I'm so sad about because it was something I had struggled for years and it's back!! I've slowly been developing lower back pain and have had massive headaches here and there that have kept me up at night. My hair has also been falling out like there's no tomorrow- but amazingly has grown out twice as much. I have so much new growth! I'm considering letting my hair grow out to it's natural color for once just because I'm enjoying seeing how healthy my roots are. There's other symptoms I have had but nothing to discourage me.
What's exciting about all this so far- quickening! Two weeks ago I started feeling the tiniest thumps in my lower tummy and since I've been waiting for them to get stronger so I can share the joy with the family. My husband's put his ear on my tummy when it feels like the baby is moving around and he says he can hear it, so- I'm excited about that too! I'm anxiously awaiting the big baby bump.
I'll be having another doctor's visit next week as I have every three weeks. It always feels like an eternity waiting to see the baby. At the visit before this last one I got to see him in action. He was kicking up a storm!! I'll be posting those pics below so you can see where he went from getting ready to kick to kicking with all his might! =-)
About to kick...
13 Weeks
Kicking with both legs!
As you can see the difference in these pics- you couldn't see his spinal cord as you can the very first pic above where's he's grown so much. I hope you guys enjoyed the pics. I'm super proud of them!! Till next time! =-)

What's Going On In My World Lately
Hey you guys! I'm really sorry my Detrivore review hasn't gone up. The last few days I've just been feeling super under the weather. Super! I have had the worst headaches ever and hardly any sleep which my doc says it's normal due to my hormones at this point in my pregnancy. Tylenol only goes so far... BUT! I'm excited about the baby regardless because I'm actually at a point where I've been feeling what they call "quickening" and OMG!!! I can't tell you how exciting it really is. Monday I went for a check up (a much needed doctor visit due to the headaches) and wow- forgot about the painful headaches when I saw my baby.
We found out we're having a baby boy!!! My husband is thrilled as you can imagine and the whole family is too. I was thrilled just to see my baby and know it's grown so much and that's so far he's healthy. I was willing to welcome boy or girl with open arms, but I can't say it doesn't make me happy that the hubby is thrilled. =-)
Either way, the plan is to catch up on my projects on this blog as soon as I'm feeling a bit better. I've still been getting on and checking out your blogs- I hate to miss them for anything! For now I will be posting up a look I did the day of my doctor's visit. I might even post up my sonogram pics and pregnancy updates soon. I'm so proud of them!!! But, we'll see...because this IS a makeup blog after all lol. Hope everyone has had a good week!!
