*Yawn* Last post of the night. Happy Birthday to the sweetest face...

It's my sweet angel baby, Weebit's birthday.

I love my Weebit!

Collective Photo Haul (Forever21, thrifting, Wet Seal)...

Forever 21..........

Wet Seal boots.........

Thrifting finds..........
Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga replica handbags.

 Black studded leggings & Leopard print metallic leggings
Both pair new with tags, $1.99 each.
Scored these soft flowy American Eagle tops for $4 each, new with tags.

I LOVE this white American Eagle dress and cannot wait to wear it next summer. $6, new still with tags also.

As I mentioned in my morning post... I discovered a new way of thrifting. Someone in my hometown made a Facebook group page called "my town's name.. Online Yard-Sale). Over the last month it has grown to almost 2,000 people and continues to grow every day. It's a brilliant idea for many reasons. One, a lot easier communication than something like Craigslist. Two, it's convenient, you can meet and swap close to home. Three, it's a really freaking awesome way to make a little extra cash. And forth, you can find such amazing deals! You post what you wanna sell and/or you can post what you're looking for... and nine out of ten times, you will find it. The only downside is it's addictive hehe. If you don't have one in your area, start one. Start adding your friends, those friends add their friends, and it will grow and grow. It's soooooo much fun!!!
I am so wanting to do some styled outfit photos, but the weather has been utter crap. I seriously hope for pretty weather (sunshine at least, have had to accept the colder weather boo) soon. 
I want to say a big big BIG thank you for all the comments you guys leave. It makes my day, truly does. I have wanted to start this blog for so long, but was so nervous and intimidated that I couldn't bring anything interesting to the table. But, I am who I am, and I think that's pretty damn good enough.

Rainy~Pajamas~Blog Posting(S) kind of day!

I have soooooo much to share with you all... lots of purchases recently (thrifting and Forever 21). I also got my booties from Wet Seal, that I have been waiting on FOREVER. I think it took three weeks to finally get them :/. But, well worth the wait, I love them (especially for the price).  I will be doing several random posts today, because it is just one of those dark, rainy stay in, in your pj's kind of days. Not too mention, I feel rather yucky today from being outside in the cool wind yesterday. Yesterday would have been my dad's 59th birthday, so my mom and I went to visit his grave. The wind was a tad too chilly for me. I woke up to a sore throat and a head full of snot :(. But gonna make the best of it and catch up on my blog, break out the canon rebel and get some shots of the lovely finds I discovered. Also, will be sharing with you all later of an AWESOME way of thrifting using facebook. It's my newest addiction! Will leave you for now with a couple of personal pics of my friends and I on Halloween. Would love to know if you guys dressed up and what as xoxo Jamie.

Jam of the day~ Because Drake is just that sexy!

Out of Shannon's Cookbook~ REESE'S Peanut Butter Pumpkin Spider

My bestie Shannon came across these yummy creepy crawlers that would be perfect for this Halloween weekend if you're having a party, or planning on taking treats to one. How cute are these, and so easy and fun!



Ingredients:

  • REESE'S Peanut Butter Pumpkins(1.2 oz. ea.)
  • Large pretzel twists(2-1/2 to 3 in.)
  • 1/4 cup HERSHEY'S Milk Chocolate Chips, HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips or HERSHEY'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips*
  • White YORK PIECES Candies


Directions:

1. Line tray or cookie sheet with waxed paper. Remove wrappers from desired number of peanut butter pumpkins. For each spider, cut 8 matching curved sections from pretzels which will form the legs. Set aside remaining pretzels pieces.

2. Place milk chocolate chips in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 30 seconds; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM an additional 10 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chips are melted and smooth when stirred. Transfer to small heavy duty plastic food storage bag. Cut off one corner of bag about 1/4 inch from the tip.

3. For each spider, place peanut butter pumpkin on prepared tray. Attach pretzel legs and white candy "eyes" to spider with melted chocolate; place dot of melted chocolate on each eye. Allow chocolate to set before moving spiders.

* This amount of chocolate will make about 8 spiders.

Urban Decay Sale and new brushes and stuff :p

Hello beautiful people, hope you all are well :). This post is mainly a collective haul of products, clothes, and jewelry, but I may do it in separate posts. Actually, I think I will. Those that know me, know that I really won't buy anything unless it's on sale. The only exceptions are the must haves that are never on sale like foundation and powders -things like that. But, I was feeling so ill a couple of weeks ago that I literally was in bed for a week and stumbled upon a great sale at Urban Decay.



The single green matte shade is called "Chronic".  The Vegan palatte, comes with six shades, a black 24/7 liner in "Zero" and primer potion in "Sin". I think this was marked down to $13. Oh, and the "Chronic" was marked down to $3! The swatch photo, starting from the left is- Chronic, then the colors in the Vegan palatte- Minx, Urb, Gunmetal, Twice Baked, Smog<3, Half Baked<3.


Photo above is the Summer of Love palatte (on sale for $10). It also came with the primer potion in "Sin" and the 24/7 liner in "Bourbon", a very pretty deep brown. Here is the swatch photo for these. I LOVE THE PURPLE!

From left- Flash, Maui Wowie, Chopper, and Smog<3

I've also been trying to find a really good bronzer without a lot of shimmer and more on the matte side. This one, to me, is a perfect combo


Urban Decay baked bronzer in "Toasted". I seriously love this bronzer. I think it was on sale for $9. *Thumbs up*!

The also had their cream tube shadows on sale for $3!!! I went a little batty and got all the colors but one. I will say, the quality and pigment of these are incredible. They will not budge or smear until you WASH THE FACE! Oh yeah, also in the photo is a lipgloss, the Pocket Rocket in Jesse. A gorgeous purple'ish plum color, not too gothy. To me, a perfect color for fall and winter that everyone is raging about. And, I love the packaging, it's so cool (it was marked down to $5 woo).



From left-  Whipped, Midnight Rodeo, Asphalt, Moonshine, Delinquent, Mushroom, Grass, and Radium. Then I swatched the "Jesse" lipgloss on top.


Liquid Liner ~ sale for $9.

I needed some new brushes so a while back, I stopped by Ulta and picked up some of the Real Techniques brushes by Samantha Chapman (which I'm sure you all know her as half of the pixiwoo sisters who do AMAZING makeup tutorials on youtube). Well, the verdict, they are FABULOUS, and affordable and so pretty haha.




Like I said, I can't rave about these brushes enough. The stippling brush is just AHHH, and the blush brush is the best blush brush I have EVER used.

I purchased this 2-in1 concealer & highlighter by Rimmel London. It was in my budget and thought why not. I was so surprised how well it works, I totally would recommend! I was worried it would look cakey and that other bad stuff we don't want, but it didn't cake at all. It's very creamy. It's definitely a new favorite. I have a few other things I forgot *face palm* to take photos of. First is a dupe of my favorite Mac lipstick "HoneyLove"... Airy Fairy by Rimmel London is seriously almost like it. I also got two NYX Liquid Crystal Liners in "Crystal Hip" which is a clear and "Crystal Pewter" which is a soft purple. I will post pics of them in my Forever 21 Haul that will be next. Oh, the Airy Fairy lipstick I purchased from Walgreens for $5 or so, and the NYX crystal liquid liners at Ulta (2 for $6 sale).

I'm so sorry this post was so long. I just wanted to share with you all, all of the products I've accumulated lately that I recommend and think are well worth the money. Loves and virtual hugs xoxo Jamie :).
