Randoms on a Thursday

Hi Folks! I know its been bare around here so I thought I'd do this little "currently" questionnaire! Borrowed from Allie :)

 

 

 

Making: an effort to eat healthier & get serious about my work outs again. No, I did not make a "new years resolution" to do this. But I am trying.... also making beauty YouTube videos now if you haven't noticed in my previous posts. :)

Cooking: BLAH! Thats how I feel about cooking lately. I have no motivation. I made homemade pizza last night. Little tip: add red pepper & oregano to your sauce. It will do amazing things to your pizza.

Drinking: water. & of course had a delicious Coca Cola earlier today. Referencing back to that whole eating healthier thing. Its a work in progress.

Reading: a book Santa (aka my hubs) gave me for Christmas. Rhythms of Grace. Check it out.

Wanting: ALL THE MAKEUP! All the new makeup coming out really. Like I need more. I know. Its a problem.

Looking: forward to things to come. finishing school (a long way off), singing at our new church, buying a house at some point.

Wishing: I was on vacation right now. I could use a tropical vaca. Getting a massage at a resort on the beach somewhere. My dream vaca.

Waiting: for 5 o'clock. duh.

Liking: my praise & worship music lately. well I always like it, but I've been mostly listening to just p&w lately.

Wondering: what mine & my husbands future holds.

Loving: our new church we have been attending the past few months.

Needing: some delicious coffee. & a piece of pumpkin bread from Sbucks. #allthecalories

Smelling: my Pacifica Island Vanilla Hand Cream. Try it out!

Wearing: my little moccasin shoes, that I think are really meant to be house slippers, but I wear them to work anyways. #idowhatiwant  & jeans/shirt of course.

Feeling: excited tomorrows FRIDAYYYYYY

Opening: my water bottle, spilling water down my shirt. #thestruggle

 

 

Sad excuse for a post but hey! It is what it is!

#1 Riding Boots

Specifically, these riding boots! Preferably in black or brown will work fine too. I wanted these last year too but they were sold out like everywhere! Hopefully Santa will be bringing me these this year :)

#2 Massage!

Oh the glory's of a massage! Deep tissue and/or hot stones! My neck and shoulders are hard as rocks ALL THE TIME. I sit at a desk all day and I am an inside stress-er. Therefore tight shoulders and neck. My dream would be able to get a massage like every other week. How amazing would that be?

#3 Lorac Unzipped Palette and/or Stila Eyes Are The Window Palette in color Soul

#5 Rhythms of Grace

I text Santa a link to order this book (a.k.a my hubs) for me. I saw a friend of mine on instagram post this book & how much she loved it. So I had to check it out! I am almost done with my other devotional book Whispers of Hope by Beth Moore. So gotta have something new to read! :)

What is on your wish list this year?

CVS Winter 2014 Beauty Clearance Sale - 50%-75% off!

I don't know if you guys have heard but CVS is having a big beauty sale!!!!
I first heard about it from my cousin Tiffany (thanks Tiff!). So I've been checking all the CVS stores near me to find the goods!

Here are some pics I took in my local CVS closest to my house.

NYC bronzer

NYC Applelicious Glossy Lip Balms

Rimmel BB creams

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

Rimmel Lip Lacquers

One of my purchases, $1.32 y'all!

I have to say I am not totally impressed with the selection in my CVS. I have checked 2 other CVS stores near my work and they didn't have much either. I did manage to get a handful of products. I will be posting a mini haul on my Youtube Channel this weekend.

I searched the sale on Google the other day just to see what I could find. Here is a post I found with a list of the items that are on sale.'

On a side note, check the expiration dates on the Rimmel foundations. I wasn't really aware of foundations having an expiration dates? But the Rimmel ones did & I picked up one that was out of date. So look close for that.

Although I am a little disappointed in the selection at my local CVS, I am excited to try the few products out that I did get!  Check out your CVS to see what goodies you can find!
