Short Hair, Don't Care!!

So, I cut my hair! I went from mid-back length to short, short, short! Here are some pictures that I have taken. My good friend Candace did it about a month ago. I already need a hair cut! I am absolutely loving having short hair, though. This is the first time that I have had short hair since I was about 7, & it is a much different experience.


 You have to love the editing apps on the iPhone... they make your skin look as smooth as butter! I used "moreBeaute2" for the images above & below. :)



 This is the first pic that I took of my new do! I was so excited that I took it in my kitchen.

I think for my next cut, I am going to go even shorter. That way I don't have to get it cut in a month again...

What's been going on

 So my punk dog, Diesel, got into trouble. Haha He has a bit of a problem being nosy. I recently got a 25lb bag of flour at costco, and had it in my pantry closet. The door is off of the closet, since we have been doing our floors.
Diesel decided to stick his big nose into it! He got it all over the floor, and obviously his face!! It was a pretty funny thing to see. He wouldn't stop moving for me to get a good picture. ;(

So we took out our carpets a few weeks ago. Last weekend, my parents came out to help us lay the wood laminate flooring. We did a drift wood oak style. It is amazing!! It makes our dingy little apartment seem so much more welcoming, nicer & clean. I love it. We aren't completely done- still have to do the bedrooms, bathroom & baseboards. That will come soon!

Some food pics...


Last weekend, we wanted something hearty. And hearty this was! I made whole wheat pumpkin pancakes with peanut butter & cocoa sauce. It was delicious! Not the healthiest, but yummy.



There was a work event on Monday, & it was catered with yummy breakfast burritos. So I cheated. Ha. This was an egg, cheese, potato & sausage burrito. I also had a few cheese danishes. oops! haha


I made whole wheat quick buns with mushroom gravy. I also sauteed some kale with coconut oil & seasonings. It looks pretty gross, but it tasted amazing!


I have been eating this awesome salad at work the last few days. I did spinach with cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes, avocado & candied walnuts. On this day, I had some coconut milk with protein powder & chia seeds. It wasn't my favorite. :( I had to choke it down. 


I made crockpot tortilla soup the other night. It had beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, corn & peas. I also added onion, cilantro, avocado, tomatoes & tortilla strips. It tasted so good, I even had it for lunch the next day!

What Do I Wear!?

What do I wear?? 
I try to mix it up... since I have an online shopping addiction, I have a pretty decent wardrobe. I like things that are cute, semi form fitting & COMFY!







New UGG boots!!




Makeup, Makeup, Makeup

How do I do my makeup??

I generally do it roughly the same. Clean looking skin, soft blush, a little bit of contour & highlight. I switch up my eye & lip looks... Take a look!










What's Cookin?

What have I been eating lately??




Whole wheat thin spaghetti with a homemade vegan basil pesto with broccoli and cherry tomatoes.


This lunch day was left over basil pesto pasta, a salad with tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts, bell pepper and onion, with an apple and a clementine.

My usual breakfast: coffee with coconut milk, and our awesome cereal: shredded wheat, bran flakes, rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flax seed topped with nuts, strawberries & banana.

AMAZING cookies I made! Vegan with peanut butter, rolled oats & carob chips.


Stir-fry veggies with wheat noodles. :)

We eat pretty boring most days. I also forget to take pictures a lot of the time. We eat leftovers for lunch with some fruit most days. I will do a full post of what dinners we do normally, maybe even a meal plan list each week. 



About Me...

Here is a quick little intro about me.

I am 22 years old. I am married, have been for 3 1/2 years. I work in Real Estate. I used to be a makeup artist, now I just play with makeup. I am not very self-motivated... hence the blog! My nationality is mostly German, with a little English. I grew up riding horses, & I wish I still did that more often. I have two gorgeous blue pitbulls- Diesel & Daisy. I sometimes wish I could just shave my head- I get a little obsessive about my hair sometimes. My favorite movies are Pride & Prejudice, Mulan & Star Wars. I used to work at a coffee shop, so if I go on a tangent about coffee, tea, or coffee shops, I blame that. haha
I am doing this blog so I have a sort of accountability to eat well, exercise & look nice for work. :) Hopefully it helps!
