Let's Talk {hair & make up}

Happy Monday Friends,

I hope you guys had a great weekend! We sure did! 

I am recapping our weekend tomorrow:)

Today I am linking up with Andrea and Erika

Today we are talking Hair and Make up!!

First let me start with this crazy mane of mine!!

I have long, thick naturally curly hair!!

I always wear it up because it is long, thick, curly, and always in my face :/

#hairproblems

I swear this is what I look like in the morning!

#truestory

I only wash my hair maybe 2 times a week

I wet it and condition it everyday!

I use this shampoo and conditioner!

After I get out of the shower is the only time I brush my hair 

I use the AMAZING wet brush

I had to...

I have had dark curly hair my 36 years on this earth, so it is the only hair I know :)

But after having Ella and realizing that dark, naturally curly hair is not common

I felt like I was always saying this to strangers

HAHAHA...

I have always told Ella "You don't touch curly hair" 

if you do it will look like this

HAHA..this curly hair meme are cracking me up!

ok...back to my routine:)

After I use my wet brush

I then add gel to the craziness of my hair!

The only gel that I have found that can tame the beast is

Biloge Gelee'

I have used this gel for as long as I can remember! 

I use a lot- remember I have a lot of hair ;)

After I have applied my makeup and gotten dressed

I will then blow dry my hair just a little 

and  I always use a diffuser! 

I have not found any certain blow dryer that I just LOVE, 

so I use one until it dies and go to Target/Wal-mart and buy another one!

After it is dried a little bit, I pull back the sides and go!!

Not sure how well you can see my hair in the pictures above, but you get the idea! 

long, thick, curly, and always pulled back!

No onto to makeup!!

I can't wait to read everyones post about their makeup routines because mine is in desperate need of a "make over" :)

The few products I use daily and love are

I put this Moisture Surge on at night

And if you have been reading for a while now 

you know my favorite face sunscreen is this 

Super City Block

It also doubles as a primer!

AWESOMENESS 

I have been using this foundation for a while now!

My color is vanilla 

But I am thinking I need something with a little more coverage!

I have a few noticeable day spots right on my cheeks

I think I look like a clown but instead of the red spots,

I have dark spots...lol

So I can't wait to see what foundation you guys use!!

I do apply my sunscreen and foundation with this guy

Beauty Blender

I love this beauty blender!!

I use this loose powder over my foundation 

My color is Translucent Light

My FAVORITE mascara is L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in black

I use whatever eyeliner, blush, and eyeshadow!

I need a "summer" lipstick! 

I have recently discovered this for my eyebrows...

My color is brown

I use the brush part to shape them and the liner to "fill in"

I store all of my make up in an "up to date" Caboodle 

I used google images for all my "stuff"! 

I can't wait to read all of your hair and make up routines!!

Mondays, Mochas, Motivation, & {Mommas}

Oh Monday after Spring Break

you are ROUGH!

The kids and I are looking forward to Summer even more now!

Today's post is going to be about Mommas and Motivation!

I am linking up with Andrea and Erika

This Month's 'Let's Talk' is about Moms!!

Here is a "Pin" that I found and thought it would be great motivation when we think we are doing it all wrong!! 

Read the Blog Post here

Remember it's the little things that add up

like dancing in the car, racing down the grocery aisle, giving eskimo kisses, splashing in a puddle, 

The list I posted has great ideas!

Not to mention that when you actually do these "fun" things, the laughter is contagious!

Here is a glimpse into my journey as a Mother!

The day we told our family we were pregnant with Ian Michael!

My pregnant belly!

Oh I was HUGE!

Ian Michael was born December 5th, 2004

Ian was 4 days LATE! But he was so worth the pain! :)

He was always a happy baby!

Then Ella Marie came along!!

Ella Marie was born October 10th, 2007

She was a happy baby, as well!! 

Here is my blessings from this weekend!

Motherhood is a WILD ride but worth EVERY Moment!!

I think this tumbler is PERFECT!!

Mombie- an exhausted mother who feeds on coffee and survives on wine!

#amen

Here is My AWESOME Mom!

The best momma and Grandma Deb! 

I am so thankful for everything that she did for me growing up as a single mother!

The strength and selflessness that she had was AMAZING!

I am so thankful that my kids got her as "Grandma Deb"

She gives them her undivided attention and let's them get away with ANYTHING!

She loves them to pieces!

My Mother in Law!

So thankful that I could become a part of the Bramlett family!

Colleen is one of the kindest people I know!

She loves with her whole heart!

Ian and Ella are blessed to have her as their Grammy!

Happy Monday Friends!

For us it is

Let's Talk {Guys}

Today I am linking up with Andrea and Erika for...

Here is a list of other topics!

The #1 guy in my life is this hottie!

Ben Bramlett

I can honesty say without a doubt I would be LOST without this man! 

He completes me and he is my better half because I am a better person when I am with him! 

He is the rock that holds the kids and I together! 

He is my voice of reason!

This past Thursday I did a #tbt about Ben and I dating that you can read about!

I am so very thankful that God decided April 6th, 1979 this little guy would come into the world

Thank you for all you do for us Ben! 

We could never thank you enough!!

I love you!!

 I'm even more thankful that our paths crossed all through middle and high school and on into college!! 

This guy captured my heart December 5th, 2004 

The day I became a mother! 

Ian Michael 

This kid has been full of life since the moment he entered into this world!

He was the first grandchild on Ben's side and the first grandchild in 6 years on my side, so you can only imagine how rotten he became from the get go!!

He is so funny....like make your stomach hurt from laughing funny!

He is sarcastic and it gets it honestly....his daddy is the same way!

He has a heart of gold but would never admit it!

Most days he drives me to the brink of insanity but I would not change his personality for anything!

He is kind, smart, and loyal!! 

I call him bubs or bubbie and it drives him crazy! Apparently I say it so often that some of our friends call him that as well to be funny ;)

Thanks for making me a mom

I love you! 

This is his hospital picture!!

Let's not forget my fur guy!

Duke Bramlett

Duke weaseled his way into my heart September 2013!

He is so dang cute and full of personality! 

He loves when Ben walks in the door from work because he knows he is going to play with him!

Duke will start barking and run and get on our bed just waiting on Ben to play with him! It is pretty funny!!

When he is home with me all day, he looks like this...

Sleeping somewhere!

or you will find him here....

in carpool with me!!

These are the main guys in my life and I love them with my whole heart!!

I am so blessed to be able to do life with them!!

Happy Monday friends!

I'll see you back here tomorrow for March Goals! 

Make today count...because only every 4 years does February get an extra day!! 

xoxo, Heather 

Let's Talk.....

New Year Resolutions:

1. Eat better and get more active which will lead to me losing weight and feeling better about myself!! 

So far this year...I have not done that great at this resolution but I am trying to be stronger than my excuses!! #21dayfix #onedayatatime 

I'm loving the work outs. But I need to become one with the containers!! 

2. Start a Blog

Well if you are reading this, then you know I started a BLOG! My goal for my blog is to share my family-kinda of like an online scrapbook, fashion, DIY, crafts, recipes, goals, girl talk, really anything!! This blog has a long way to go, but one day at a time! I want it to be pretty and eye catching! I need to take a class! I'm clueless when it comes to setting up the blog!! 

3. Bible Journaling- I love seeing everyone's post on IG on how they decorated their journaling bibles.. Well a sweet friend commented on one of my Facebook post about starting a bible study! Well we did it!! We have meet two times already and are meeting again in the morning!! I am so excited! We picked Lisa Harpers book 'A Perfect Mess'

4. Continue to make goodies for 'Oh My Glitter'- I would love to create something that is uniquely  mine!!  I can create tons of tumblers, water bottles, earrings, wine glasses, etc! But everyone makes those! I would love to create something that is unique..... that is the forefront of my brain!!

One of my favorite goodies so far this year!!

5. I hate to admit it, but I am a yeller and I hate myself for it.....I am working very hard to change that bad habit!!

I mean look at those faces! How could I yell at them!! 

6. Ben and I are really good at alone time....dates, concerts, trips, etc. I really hope we can continue that this year~~  We have our first trip planned to see Tyler Farr and Lee Brice in February!
