Okay, I just had to throw that out there! I LOVE WORDPRESS! lol I’ve been thinking of redesigning (or should Isay ‘designing’ since I’ve never really designed it yet!) my blog a lot lately. Upon my internet travels, I came across a video on how to upgrade your wordpress blog to the newest version. Being a scardy cat about updating any of my programs, I was of course running an outdated version so I decided to take a peek at the video. OMG I had no idea how easy it was… I should have done it long ago! lol All I had to do was click on ONE button in the admin area, and it did it all for me!!! Woohoo I love w! he he The best part is, I didn’t have to worry about my customizations (plugins), or anything I changed on the program, because its all stored separately. With any of the other programs I’ve used, any changes I’ve made were made directly to the files, so I might loose everything if I updated them. Sorry, I should have saved the link to the video so I could share it… but didn’t even bother saving it for myself, because it was so simple!
Ahhh I can rest easier now; at least with my blog. ;0) What I love most about it is that I can change the way it looks as often as I want, and all my info and everything stays the same. I’ve been searching and searching and searching (yet again) for more free templates. The ONE pain in the ass about WordPress… is having to search and sift through 100000000’s of free themes to find just the right one! lol But I THINK I finally got it!!! Atahualpa. It’s a genious template that is so easy to customize I’m ready to faint of happiness! :0)
Soooo… I’m excited to start working on my topper. I have such a cute idea, I hope it comes out good. It involves drawing a cartoon of myself. LOL BUT, off to do my taxes first. BoooHoooo

Well, it was either get a job with crappy hours, or give AVON a try… so I went for it! I am now officially an AVON representative, and so far I’m loving it! Although, I do have to be real careful not to spend all my $$ on goodies for myself! LOL
They came out with a new minerals makeup line called Smooth Minerals, and I am totally hooked. When I saw the demos for these products, I just had to give them a try. I ordered the starter kit which is only $25 (it includes 2 foundations, 1 transparent glow, 1 blush, and a kabuki brush) and I also got a few other items. Let me tell you… I’ve never worn make up on my face – only on extra special occasions… but this stuff is so light and makes my skin look so beautiful, I have been wearing it everyday since I got it in the mail! lol I’ve gotten so many compliments already on how great my skin looks. I’ve never tried Bare Minerals before, but I’ve heard people complain that it doesn’t cover enough; I don’t find that true for the Smooth Minerals. You can layer it on to get the coverage you need, whether it be a light cover or full cover. The lipstick is great too… I usually cannot wear any type of lipstick or gloss because my lips just start peeling away and get all irritated; but I was so excited when that didn’t happen with the smooth minerals lipstick! I finally found a color that I can wear without my lips fighting it off! Yay! :0)
Anywho, I had a whole ton of new makeup and goodies to play with, so I decided to invite a few friends and family over to come play with me on Friday night. We had a blast! We were up until like 2am chatting and doing each other’s faces, it was so much fun! Mel decided to do one eye with a smokey look, and the other eye with an every day look. I couldn’t stop cracking up every time I looked at her! ;0) Thanks to all of you girlies for making it a fun night! xoxo
PS I tried out a new recipe for white chocolate raspberry slices for the party that were to die for! They all got eaten up! I’ll post the recipe soon.
