{B}abble questions and answers

I keep getting questions about the {B} babble so I will start answering a few here

- No I dont have fake lashes on in my after pictures

-my skin ..lol well I feel a little gross with how shiny I am in the pics!!!! but I only have left over blush and bronzer on from the day. I shot this before I jumped into bed so Im not all put together. hairs a mess....make up less....pjs...but the products I use is macs blot powder ,bronzer and nars blush! other than that I can thank my mother for clear skin.

- Lip tint: another thing to thank mother for. I dont have any lip gloss , color  or stain on my lips. 

-paintpot: was mac painterly 

{B}eauty babble

......I do beauty babble cause I get asked questions about products and techniques I use. I DONT CLAIM TO BE A PRO.....Im sure I break rules and what works for my coloring and face shape wont work for everyone. I have a few softer eyes I do ....less liner but I got asked how I do this copper eye. enjoy

The photo in my header is the one people were asking about. I get nervous in the spotlight so I babble.....As you will see in my video. Hopefully you can still make sense of it all.

To some of you this may seem silly, but its fun so dont be a hater

The bright side

I got a email today that about made me cry. I have gotten letters and emails from women saying I somehow help them.....I love to hear it but don't quite understand it. Either way I wanted to say thanks and touch base on the subject. You are helping me be a better person by sending them. Also If I haven't replied to your email I promise promise it wasn't to be rude. The mid west woman who's daughter said I look like belle .....your email made my day.(beauty ad the beast is my fav) I would love to hear how your doing.

Being positive is the only way to get through life, there will always be a bright side to any situation, it is your job to you to find it. Believe me I have my days where I want to scream! That day were everything falls apart and you have demands and the weight of the world on your shoulders. You see tomorrow as a chore and wish you could sleep for a year to skip all the crap. Yes I have been there and I still have my moments, although they are lighter and less frequent just know EVERYONE has them. Even that lady down the street who seems to have it all together and runs around like superwomen. That's my downfall ...I want to be on top of it all. I want something that CANT  happen.  I want that hour spent reading and talking with my kids while dinner cooks, the house clean,  my edits done and  my clients happy , all those emails I get are replied to, print orders in, a walk alone somewhere secluded,  a little me time at nordstrom, and a hot date planned.  Is that to much to ask? :) .....well it is for a single mom or anyone. So the house might not be perfect so I can get those print orders in and my clients will not get a email until the next night. Dinner might have to be take out and the walk will have to wait unless I bring the kidlets to Chase. 

But when I do get that walk its perfect.... everything is absorbed and valued. So maybe I'm lucky....cause to many people walk around without noticing true beauty. Stay out of tunnel vision, someone has had it worse or been there too. Its easier said than done I know but I think one of my greatest blessing I have EVER gotten is being blessed with PERSPECTIVE. Time always goes on and things change. If you focus on being the best person you can be and depend on the lord for the rest happiness will find you. Its something we are all entitled to and our heavenly father wants nothing more than for us to be blissful and at peace. Its strange for me to be so open. I hate nothing more than feeling exposed, very few people truly know me. I have been told I have the great wall of china wrapped around me and .....they might be right. I feel very Passionate about the things I love and choose carefully who can know my heart. But If being more open on my blog can help those of you out there maybe I will give it a go. 

Write your story with a bright perspective, have your happy ending in mind and let the middle fall into place.

I am blessed with such great family and friends! keep positive people around you it makes all the difference

me and Megan (who I love) had some photo fun and I have been busy dating..... and fyi: dating is a pain...boys are work!haha ;)   

and I love her baby jace! hes my boyfriend ;)

 

a go cart date with charlie..fun fun

update overload!

( some of the pics are stolen off of friends sites, so sorry about the colors...)

 I have been insanely busy! Blush is doing wonderful ...But {B} is running ragged! I cant complain cause I love the clients I have gotten and I love my camera! I'm trying my hardest to be superwomen  and I decided somethings gotta give :) I will be booking less so I can focus more time on my little family! I'm missing out on the things that make me happy like sitting on the front porch and watching my babies play...walks...and fun nights out with just the three of us! Plus I still love my girls nights which there is a lot of those pictures on this post!

my current favorite place to run or take long walks? great salt lake! As long as there isnt wind its perfect


 

Important side note: I'm not focusing on posting my kids BECAUSE I have a lot of Internet friends. I have no problem with people feeling like they get to know me via my blog but my kids are another story! The play by play of my little family will be just for me. Sure I will throw in bits of us but its my job to protect them and keep them safe. I was private but wanted a public blog so my clients could get a feel for me and it has been a great tool. But so many blogs I get on I go WOW  I feel like I know every move these peoples children make! I get a lot of traffic on this blog due to Blush so I hope you are understanding. This is MY blog so most the pictures will have something to do with me. wither its things I LOVE, people I LOVE or just ME.

anyways here's my girls nights update ... so enjoy!

Joni and me had a few sleep overs and enjoyed that teaser spring with a run and a few days later a hike...followed by movies and chit chat over sushi of course!
