BOOKS READ 'N' MAKEUP DONE

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry I have been so slow to post lately.  I've started something new and it's been quite time consuming.  I've started to write a book :D  I've been contemplating doing so for a while now I just didn't have the right idea to get my juices flowing. Then the other day I was chatting with my FB friend Kym and BOOM an idea began to take shape and Kym and I kinda ran with it throwing out ideas and next thing I knew we had a plot and a ladder to follow, I asked her if she wanted to co-write it with me but she declined saying she'd just like to read it and maybe throw ideas at me if I get stuck along the adventure and I thanked her sooo much because she really helped me get started. As of today I'm on Chapter 8 and not even half way through the book and the writing is going along quite smoothly.  I'm so excited! As you can guess this and being a mom and homemaker takes up alot of my time but I'm not giving up on my reading. I t

Here it is my new makeup look.  I did this look for a makeup challenge that is on www.makeupgeek.com I really hope to win this time:)  I used only 3 colors.  Purple, Pink and Turquoise.  Please drop me a line to let me know if you like it!

One minute I'm locked out of my hotel room, and the next... Dylan Hargreave thinks I'm an actress paid to pose as his girlfriend at a North Carolina society wedding. How did this happen to me, of all people? Kendall Clarke, award-winning actuary, the veritable shining star of number crunchers who, just hours ago, learned her responsible fiancé (sorry, ex-fiancé) called off our wedding because he'd gotten one of my colleagues pregnant. What are the odds? Don't tell me you've never heard of Dylan Hargreave. Celebrity NASCAR driver? People magazine's Sexiest Man of the Year? Those eyes. That smile... Forget sensible! I've assessed the risk...and I'm taking it! I usually keep the brakes on, but as of now I'm taking a vacation. From me. This book I enjoyed quite a bit, it was very funny and believable.  Kendall is what we call a "NERD"  and Dylan is certainly the "HUNK".  There's some controversy  throughout the sto

As promised I did 2 makeup looks.  The 1st is a soft pastel look, I wanted it to look wearable and romantic. The Second look I did is more of a Glamour or High Fashion type.  I was trying to make my eye look like an Easter Egg lol  Not sure if it does or not but I think the colours blend well together.

The wedding of the season! Events manager Sylvie Smith is organizing a glittering fund-raising event: a wedding show in a stately home. She has even been roped into pretending to be a bride... a bride who's five months pregnant! The bride everyone is talking about! It should be every girl's dream to design a wedding with no expense spared, but it's not Sylvie's. Longbourne Court was her ancestral home, and she's just discovered that the new owner is Tom McFarlane--her baby's secret father. Now Tom's standing in front of her, looking at her bump.... I loved this book so much that I had to do another post today, right away  before it faded in my memory. My memory seriously sucks lol So, here goes. The story begins with a Wedding planner who is organizing a Wedding that's worth thousands of dollars.  The Hero of the story is the Groom who she is organizing the wedding for.  Instant attraction! With many things getting mixed up and things not going qui

I received my Jimmy Thomas calendar today that I won from Delilah Devlin on Wild&Wicked Cowboys Blog.  I adore that blog not just because it's about cowboys but because it's full of amazing authors and they get great guests. I have been reading but mostly just short stories and since the titles have not stuck in my head or made me think, "oh wow I need to blog about that"  I figured they weren't worth the time. Today we went to get our kids their Easter gifts, I'd tell you what we got but I can't guarentee my daughter won't check out my blog lol I'm glad she can read but I miss the days hubby and I could exchange notes to keep things a secret.  Soon our son will be able to read just as well and we'll have to become really creative lol. Now since Easter is coming I was thinking that sometime this week or on the weekend I'm going to try an Easter makeup look... Not gonna draw an egg or bunny on my face but try to use pastel colors and

I also received a free ebook for signing up for the Virna DePaul/Larissa Ione video chat on April 28, 2011. Then on top of all that I won a $10 gift card for Amazon from ummmm  I know it's awful but I cannot remember which blog it was from.  I have been on sooo many of them this week heheh. Then to top everything off I got a wonderful compliment from the esteemed author Jules Bennett, she really made my day! :D She said, "Oh, BTW, your makeup pics are awesome! I'm always amazed when you post new ones how talented you are!" I just about died!!! I'm so humbled.  What a sweetheart! So, as you can see my week so

Hi, I just wanted to shout out to those new people who are stopping by my blog.  As you can see it's fairly new and I'm still trying to figure some things out lol.  I started it so I could share what I though about certain books that I read or series and to share my passion for makeup.  Weird combination I know :D  But see I'm equally passionate about both and I thought why not share :) So, thanks for stopping by and if you become a follower thanks so much for that also :D
