Can you hold your breath under water for two minutes? How about one minute? I know I can't hold my breath for too long. I could probably hold my breath for 30 seconds, maybe.17 minutes, 4.4 seconds is the new world record for a person to hold their breath under water. It was done by the infamous David Blaine on the Oprah show today. Can you believe it? While I was watching the show, I got chills and there was a point where I couldn't even look at TV. I even … [Read more...]

Works for me Wednesday – Beauty Tips
April 30, 2008 by
This is the information I received in an email from E.L.F. cosmetics. I decided to post it on Works For Me Wednesday because it makes perfect sense.Did you know that old makeup can have contaminants? That means you can keep lipsticks for no more than a year, eye make-up for up to 3 months, blush for 6 months and nail polish for 2 years. I had makeup that was well over their due date so I threw out a lot. Although I threw out a bunch of stuff before taking this picture, you can still see I had … [Read more...]
Rules for Women – My Opinion, My way of Life

A few weeks ago, I saw an episode of Jerry Springer. Yes, I know that show is psychotic, crazy and down-right dysfunctional, but I watch it occasionally. If it wasn't for my husband recording it daily on our DVR (he likes to laugh at them, don't ask me why), I would never watch the show. This particular show was a bit disturbing to me. It was about a young Hispanic girl (18 years old) that had two kids from an ex-con that is now dating a cousin of hers. Even though she knew that her cousin … [Read more...]

The day I wrote this, I mentioned I would write a review on how well my eye shadow lasted. Well, I just have to say, I now give the E.L.F. eyeshadow a 10!!! It never creased, rubbed off and it made my eye liner last all day until I took it off right before I went to bed. I absolutely love it! I love it so much that I looked thru all of my "old" make up in my room and threw away alot. Lipsticks, eye shadows, liners and much more. I will post the picture … [Read more...]

CVS…………last minut

This week I didn't really think about going to CVS because I basically have all that I need and I truly don't need anymore stuff.As I was looking through my coupons and the CVS flyer this morning, I noticed I could get some really good deals. For some strange reason, I didn't see those deals before. So I printed out my CVS coupon: a $4 off a $20 any beauty purchase that was emailed to me by CVS a few days ago, organized my coupons and made a list. This is what I … [Read more...]
Beauty Review

Since I heard about E.L.F. cosmetics from my sister-in-law during Easter, I decided to give it a try. When I found out Big Lots carried the make-up, I was really happy. First of all they are pretty cheap. Costs means a lot to a SAHM like myself. Second of all, they have a pretty good reputation of being great make-up. I need to have make-up that will last through out the day. Lastly, the colors are awesome. My favorite colors are neutrals … [Read more...]
Last Day
April 24, 2008 by 2 Comments
Earth day was celebrated just a few days ago. So by helping the environment, I made a vow to change all of the (regular) incandescent light bulbs in my house for Energy Smart bulbs. If you have a Stop and Shop nearby, today is the last day to buy GE Energy Smart bulbs. When you use your Stop and Shop card, you get 2 Energy Smart light bulbs for free when you buy one for $4.99. That's like $1.66 for each bulb. Did you know that Energy Smart bulbs use 75% less energy than incandescent … [Read more...]

I have 3 kids--an 11 year old son, a 9 year old daughter and a 3 year old daughter. By the time the first two turned three, they were potty trained. Even though I started at age 2 for the first two, they weren't ready (I didn't know; I thought all 2 year olds were "supposed" to be potty trained at 2). I'm very nonchalant with my third when it comes to alot of things. I guess it's because she is the baby of the house, she's my last baby (I got my tubes tied … [Read more...]
Disgusted

Do you know the price of crude oil is at $117.48 per barrel right now? This time last year the price was at around $65.oo per barrel. The gas prices are getting so ridiculous in the U.S., it's disgusting. I live in the Hudson Valley in NYS and the cheapest so far is:$3.55 a gallon. That is just crazy! Some places around my area are already $3.65 a gallon. $4.00 a gallon is just around the corner. I guess I'll be staying home more often because at … [Read more...]
