Daily (Sunday) Routine

A few of my sisters-in-law are blogging about their daily beauty regime, so I thought I'd join in. On a normal day (ie mon-saturday) when I'm not going out to a church thing or on a date I get up and....that's it. Before bed I use some generic Equate brand "Deep Cleaning Astringent". Also when I shower I use Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Scrub...mostly for the exfoliating stuff as I've never had a black head...right out of the shower I use Clean & Clear Oil-Free Dual Action Moisturizer. I think it's funny that all of these people I know use fancy grown up moisturizers like Oil of Olay. I think of that as grown up lotion...since I'm still not an adult in my head I've never considered buying this. Of course now that all of these people I know are using it I'm thinking maybe I should too....aww peer pressure. ;)

So my Sunday/date night make up routine is as follows:

I apply a foundation to my eyes: "Almay Hypo-Allergenic 'Nearly Naked' Touch-Pad Liquid Makeup". I do this because when I got married my friend Margie demonstrated to me that if you don't put on foundation first, then color of your makeup doesn't stick/show up as well...so I put some on my eyelids.

Next I use either my "Almay Intense Color" eye shadow for brown eyes or some pink shadow from a ginormous thing of makeup my mom gave me for Christmas about six years ago...called "Markwins Presents". I think it was intended for prepubescent teenage girls rather than serious makeup appliers, but I use it anyway. Side note: although it seems I"m devoted to Almay products I think this is really just what my friend Margie told me to get for my wedding and I haven't bought anything new yet...yes my makeup is almost all at least four years old. Moving on.

Eyeliner: Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner "Black/brown" on the top and Covergirl Brow and Eye Markers Pencil on the bottom.

Mascara: Almay Intense i-Color in Brown Topaz....it came with the Brown Eye's make up stuff my eyeshadow is from.

Cover up: I spot cover two red spots I have on my cheek and any other 'problems' as needed with Lancome Paris coverup in Ivoire. I got this at the Lancome counter where I got a makeover before I got married to see what kind of makeup to use for the wedding...if I spent $25 I got a free gift, so Margie and the counter girl said the coverup was the best buy.

Powder: L'Oreal Translucide Loose Powder in "Translucent" I use this more to cover the cover up then anything else...

Blush: Revlon Smooth-On Blush

Lipstick: Lancome Rouge Sensation in Henne...this was part of the free gift with purchase I mentioned.

So there you have my makeup routine...I'm sure I should probably replace all of my way old makeup and that I maybe do stuff in the wrong order or something, but that's what I learned and I haven't updated. I tried the L'Oreal Bare Naturale Foundation stuff, but it felt too thick and I had to use soap to get it off. This makeup all comes off with a damp cloth, except for the eyeliner which I actually have to use makeup remover for.

Oh and my hair product of the moment is Garnier Fructis Style "Curl Shaping Spray Gel". I put it on after a shower and scrunch my hair then let it air-dry. Sometimes I spritz a little extra on after it's dry to tame frizzy's but that's it. I used to use a really nice conditoner spray type stuff from...some company that starts with a P...it's in a white bottle...I can't remember...oh wait! Pantene Pro-V, that was it...anyway but then they stopped making it...jerks. So I've been exploring other avenues. The Garnier Fructis stuff has been working so far, but I'm open to change.

60 Things You May Not Know About Me

I stole this from a girls blog that I read. Sorry if you were hoping for baby-related updates, my brain is too frazzled to type coherently without a format. ;)



1. What is in the back seat of your car right now?
The base for the baby's carseat, Isabelle's toddler seat, some random metal/armour bits that Patrick hasn't cleaned out and Patricks work jacket.

2. When was the last time you threw up?
About six weeks ago when I got a 12 hour stomach bug. I was 38 weeks pregnant....when I was 38 weeks pregnant with Isabelle I got a really nasty bug and threw up 10 times in as many hours. It sucked. I'm hoping this trend doesn't continue with my subsequent pregnancies.

3. What's your favorite curse word?
Freak'n A...I know it's stupid, I don't know why I say it. One of my roommates my freshman year of college said it alot so I guess that's where I get it.

4. Name 3 people who made you smile today?
Patrick, Isabelle, and James...I don't really see anyone else.

5. What were you doing at 8 am this morning?
Sleeping...like any sane person that doesn't have a job was...or any lazy person that doesn't have a job.

Water

Maternity jeans (still don't fit into my regular ones) and grey maternity shirt...*sigh*

Cold Peach Crisp last night before bed.

Nope...I dont' want to buy fat clothes.

I don't recall.

I think I watched some ice skating on tv a few months ago...but not the whole 'event'

This question seems to have dissappeared.

18. Who is the last person you emailed?
Probably my dad. He emails everyday.

19. Ever go camping?
Sometimes...I think the last time was over New Years break four years ago.

20. Do you have a tan?
No...I don't tan, I burn and freckle.

21-23 are missing too...

24. Do you drink your soda from a straw?
Yes...otherwise there are too many bubbles for me to handle.

25. What did your last IM say?
I don't remember...Margie do you?

26. Are you someone's best friend?
I think so...

Nothing....feeding the babies...watching tv...same thing I do everyday.

28. Where is your mom right now?
In Cedar City, UT probably getting ready to go home for lunch.

29. Look to your left, what do you see?
A window looking out on our front yard and busy street....and a very very messy desk that I clean occassionally and Patrick manages to clutter back up within hours of cleaning...thus the only occassional cleaning...whats the point really?

Black

31. What do you think of when you think of Australia?
Kangaroos...Steve Irwin..Bonfires with Fosters beer on the beach...really tan guys with leather hats and cool accents.

32. Would you consider plastic surgery?
Probably not it's too expensive and people would probably make fun of me...although I wouldn't mind straightening my nose.

33. What is your birthstone?
Aquamarine...it's ugly.

34. Do you go in at a fast food place or just hit the drive thru?
Usually drive through.

35.How many kids do you want?
Four or Five. Here's why: You can't have just one, they'd be lonely. You can't have just two 'cuz they may hate each other, you can't have just three because you know the two would gang up on the one...so you have to have at least four. There's five in my family, so that's kind of what I was thinking.

36. Do you have a dog?
No. Dogs are of the devil. ;) They're nasty and I don't understand why people have them in their house. Of course I'm very very allergic, so this may color my opinion.

37. Last person you talked to on the phone?
My visiting teaching partner. She called me yesterday and asked me to go to Enrichment with her. I didn't want to , but I did anyway 'cuz I'm nice like that.

38. Have you met anyone famous?
I met Billy Idol once...it was awesome.

39. Any plans today?
I was thinking of going to get an allergy shot since they'll be closed Monday, but I decided against it. That was pretty much the extent of my plans...oh and to update my blog...and maybe email my sister-in-law to see if she will let Isabelle come and play with her kids. That's it.

40. How many states have you lived in?
Two. Utah and Texas. Patrick finds this amusing.

In my living room at the computer desk.

My two babies...they need so much attention...'mommy feed me! I need to be burped! Change my diaper! I'm crying for no discernable reason...fix it!'

44. Last song listened to?
Theme song to Jay Jay the Jet Plane. It's sad, but I have these songs in my head most of the time. I think by the fifth baby I will have gone completely insane.

No 45 either...

46. Are you allergic to anything?
Yes. All grass except Bermuda, cottonwood trees, cedar trees, hackberry trees, ragweed, pollen, all animals with hair, fur or feathers, HAY (which is a grass), mold, dust mites...

47. Favorite pair of shoes you wear all the time?
My old ratty fake-o motorcycle boots. They are falling apart and I really need some new ones...maybe some that are actually made of leather this time?

48. Are you jealous of anyone?
Sometimes I'm jealous of single people with no family obligations, but not usually.

No 49...

50. Is anyone jealous of you?
Who ISN"T jealous of me!? ;)

51. What time is it? 2:02 pm...I started this at around 12:15, but had to go feed the babies.

52. Do any of your friends have children?
Most of them...all of my 'church' friends....come to think of it I only have two or three friends that don't have kids...but I don't really socialize with them that much anymore...not because of the kid thing though. At least I don't think that's why...

53. Do you eat healthy?
Not really. Maybe that's why I'm still in my maternity clothes..

Check email/blogs, watch PBS shows with Isabelle, feed her and the baby...read...nap. That's about it.

55. Do you hate anyone right now? .
No...I don't think I have really hated anyone...hate is a very strong word. I've disliked several people though.

56. Do you use the word 'hello' daily?
No. I say Hi to Isabelle alot though, does that count?

57. What are your feelings on chocolate?
Chocolate is very, very good...and probably pure evil. ;)

58. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
Well, I just had a birthday, so almost an entire year from now I will be 28. I'm getting old.

59. Have you ever been to Six Flags?
No...but I live real close to one. Everytime an opportunity to go has come up I've either been pregnant or saddled with a very young infant and thus either not able to go on the rides or forced to trade off with Patrick or whoever... Plus it's way expensive.

60. How did you get one of your scars?
Biopsy on my stomach. The stupid dermatologist did three different biopsies to identify Excema...you'd think that was common enough she could ID it right off....now I have a huge circular scar on my stomach...not that I'd be showing anyone my stomach anyway with all of my baby stretch marks, but it's still annoying.


So there you have it. 60 (54) things you may not have known about me. :)
