First, I watched the DVD, which gives step by step directions on the application process for the Lip Stamping. Once you have found the lip stamp that works best with your lips (or the look you're wanting to achieve), then you outline that stamp with the ink. "BLUSH" is the color they sent me (which is almost red and normally a color I would choose).
Match up the lip stamp with your lips and press firmly, rolling it back and forth to make sure it covers your lip line evenly.
Take the applicator in the ink bottle and line your bottom lip and then fill in the rest.
You can apply a top coat of their "Hint of Mint" gloss, which gives them a glamours glitz about them...or you can apply your favorite color lipstick on top. The awesome thing...the Stamp Me Fabulous Ink is semi-permanent, so it stays put, even when your lipstick withers away. This ideal for the working woman, who can't touch up her lipstick non-stop or someone attending a special event that wants to make sure they look fabulous for the entire day! 
I also received a sample of their product remover, which took the lip stain right off (in case you don't apply it perfectly the first time).
So, if you or someone you know, is wanting to achieve a better eyebrow application or have fuller looking lips, then look no further than Stamp Me Fabulous!
Thank you Stamp Me Fabulous for introducing me to such a great product. I hope that my blogging about it helps reach woman, who are really looking to improve their facial eyebrow and lip application.
To be completely honest, finding time to workout during my day is DIFFICULT, especially if my two babies don't cooperate with sleeping at the same time. Thankfully, I think I am getting the hang of getting them down together, which does free up a good section of time for "JUST ME" and I can't think of anything better to do (besides a LIST full of house chores) than spend an hour getting my work out on. 
So...since I've done it four times now, I think I can begin to give an honest evaluation of the program. Important things to keep in mind, it's all about posture, it's all about small precise movements, it's all about consistency with the workouts (making sure it's 3 to 4 times a week), and if you keep those things in mind...it will begin to really make a difference in your body shape. 
I've already noticed a difference in my behind (which means that things that were extremely wiggly are now tightening nicely), my inner thighs are start to change shape and the backs of my legs as well. I feel more confident about my lower half. Now...my abs, that's another story. I think this is really going to be a project for me. Having given birth four times and having a small body frame with LARGER sized babies, my stomach mucles are shot. It might just be me, but it seems that the abdominal muscles are causing my tummy to stick out more than before I started the program. Maybe that's what will happen before stuff starts laying flat again, but it is a little discouraging, because I have been really sore in that area since starting the workout. I'll give it a few more weeks and see what happens. Here's my video for the end of my first week of the Pure Barre workout! 
. Just a heads up, you might want to head to your local Target and have a look on their end caps. Today, I got 4 sets of 4 plate chargers in a box (normally $5.99) for $1.74 
and thanks to a questions being answered on TWITTER by http://twitter.com/EKBobal, I was able to make my own napkin rings by cutting up a paper towel roll, hot gluing ribbon them and then gluing acorns (that I collected from my yard) around them. What a great (AND TOTALLY COST EFFECTIVE) idea!
I think they turned out great...So, I am excited to host our Thanksgiving dinner with our cute PLACE settings thanks to the end caps at Target and the free napkin rings that I was able to make thanks to a suggestion on twitter. LOVE IT!! Bring on Thanksgiving dinner!
Today, however, it didn't go as planned. My one year old went down for an early morning nap, which pushed his afternoon nap back later. That did not coincide with my 3 year olds naptime either. UGHHH! My plans for working out today (during the daylights hours have diminished because my school aged kids will be home soon & it will be time for homework, dinner, baths and bed for them).
So wish me luck in getting my workout done tonight and on Friday, I will be re-capping my week in a "VLOG" and sharing with you more details of my weeks worth of workouts. I'd love some cheering on...if you so desire! Nothing like a little BOOST of encouragement to help me stay motivated...right? COME ON READERS...if this works great...you're really going to want to know about it! I just have to stay on top of it, so I can give a TRUE evaluation of the program. So comments are definitely welcome! Thanks!
Plaza Rugs has thousands upon thousands of amazing rugs for your home decor. Guaranteed, they have something that will match any bedroom or family room, kitchen or living area. I mean, they truthfully have so many rugs, it can be a little overwhelming trying to find the right one. But if you have a general idea of what you're looking for, their website is pretty user friendly and it shouldn't take you to long to narrow down your selection.
So when I got the chance to do a product review (a rug sent free of charge) for Plaza Rugs, I definitely jumped at the opportunity. I looked through their entire selection of children's rugs and found the perfect one for my girl's "HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL" themed bedroom. I loved the bright checkers of color and I knew that my girls would instantly love it when they saw it too!
The rug arrived yesterday, via UPS, and my three year old (because my other daughter was still at school when it came) was jumping up and down in excitement. She helped me take it up the stairs (my little helper) and we got it all unwrapped and checked it out. I LOVE IT EVEN MORE IN PERSON! The colors are vibrant and cheerful. The carpet is SOLID and heavy (not cheapy and lightweight). My opinion of the rug? ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Starting at $54.00 + free UPS shipping...this was a fabulous deal for the quality of this rug!
When my five year old got home from school, she immediately ran upstairs to her room to check out her new floor rug. Her opinion? She laid down on it, ran her fingers around on it and announced, "Mom, it's just like "REAL" carpet". "I LOVE IT"! Can you tell we miss having carpet a little bit? Case closed...we are sold on Plaza Rugs!
Here's the rug I am going to get for the boy's Ohio State Themed room, which I can purchase for $99 (4'11" x 7') + free UPS shipping:

Thank you Plaza Rugs for our girl's new floor rug! THEY LOVE IT and so do I!

Yes, I did it! My first PURE BARRE workout. Here is my before video:
I have to admit, it was a little discouraging to watch these amazing ladies, who are extremely flexible and in shape do the workouts, while I am at my house, in my sweats, huffing & puffing and trying to do what they do. I laughed a little inside, but I can honestly say, it motivates me more. I want to look like these girls. I want to be toned and flexible like them. I want to feel CONFIDENT in my skin and see the "problem" areas improve. So even though it's tough at first to watch, and could be an immediate discouragement, I let it be a motivation to keep going and transform myself into one of them. 
So...with workout #1 under my belt, my goal is to do this work out 3-4 times a week, if I can. It worked out perfectly today because my babies were both napping, so I could give 100% to the workout. Not everyday will be that perfect and I may have to move my workout time around to accomidate my schedule, but I will MAKE IT WORK!
Did I mention that, I am so excited?

This time, we received a package (free of charge) in the mail with a toy I think she likes even more than the others. Her new toy is called a "CHEWBIE" and not only does it squeak (what dog can resist a squeaky toy?), but it has a fluffy white tail that she's crazy about. 
If you have a pet that loves toys and you're looking for something to entertain them that is a little different than a traditional boring ball, I highly recommend you head over to PetProjekt and check out their amazing toys, feeding products, Dogleeshes and more.I was not paid to do this product review!
