Starbucks Lipstick Legend

I love lipstick. I wear typically wear lipstick five out of seven days in the week. Lipstick is a great accessory to have in your make-up bag.

I have to start off with this some what of a funny, yet true story. Yes the main character is myself and this happened just this past week at our local Starbucks that I am a regular at.

I had a coffee date with my Mother at our local Starbucks this past week one evening. Not to mention during their busy "college study and free wifi homework time." Previously to walking out of my home, I had applied the finishing touches to my outfit...lipstick. If you know me I love lipstick, my daughters love lipstick and we love looking at lipstick in the stores. I love wearing the latest color trends and the more settle color tones as well.

The color I ended up wearing into Starbucks was a very bright pink.. Let me tell you I didn't realize this until I walked into Starbucks. I open the door, step inside and heads turn like always, then their paralyzed. At first I was confused why all the stares. Then I had that ah-ha moment. The dang lipstick! They must have all been prettified for me.

As what felt like a lifetime of me standing in the entrance, I continued to walk the red carpet over to the counter to order my usual: skinny vanilla latte. Again, the baristas stood there talking with their eyes while ever so glancing over at my; yes I already knew my bright as heck pink lipstick. I wanted to badly say something while ordering my latte, but I continued on pretending they knew nothing about fashion or trends.

if you don't know already, I am an extrovert, therefore when I stand out it does not bother me, I almost enjoy it. So when this went down in history my Mother and I had a huge laugh when she arrived after she ordered her coffee.

Lets just say they will probably remember me by the lipstick lady, ha ha! And lesson learned...be careful what lipstick advice you take from your 5 year old daughter. Even if it is just to please them. And the next time I go to that Starbucks I should walk in wearing this shirt. You can find this cute shirt HERE.

Life According To Us Lately

Can we say cabin fever here in the great state of Michigan? Although today is suppose to be almost fifty degrees and mostly sunny. Us Michiganders will be joking about hauling out the shorts. I kid you not. Maybe it will give these 4 feet snow mounds a chance to actually melt. We just might be swimming later today, ha ha.

We are over winter faces.
On the brighter side, literally today for once, while dealing with one sick child at the moment praying it doesn't spread to the rest of the house, we all have been doing wonderful.

It finally has warmed up enough for the girls to bundle up and play outdoors in the snow for more than 10 minutes and get all their wiggles out. I forgot what quiet sounded like in my home.

Evalyn is busy losing her baby teeth. We have realized without your two front teeth it's easier to eat an cut up apple rather than a whole apple. Some words are harder to pronounce in the time being. I now have a teething 2 year and 7 year old.

We have a new neighbor next door. God blessed the girls with another friend to play with. Another girl who is their age. Who even goes to my daughters school. Ev was excited since she does not go to the school in the district we live in. Our street is literally going to be ran by girls. Ha ha!

My husband and I have been creating a "home renovation" list. We finally are starting. I didn't realize how overwhelming it is. I will be sharing all that on my blog. Before and after pictures. We will be working on our bathroom, family room in the basement, living room, windows, outside porch, painting walls, replacing doors, fencing. Sounds like a lot huh? All in time.

Lastly, I have been working on some fun ideas for the blog. Currently I am writing and creating a fun series for the blog. Something I keep telling myself I need to start is a blog planner.
