Birthday Celebrations

This past weekend was full of celebration!

Saturday we celebrated my “22nd” Birthday.

Then Sunday we celebrated my sister’s “24th”.

We had a blast!

I have always loved our two days of celebrations.

Happy Monday!

Sisterhood Of The World Bloggers Award

The rules of the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award are to:

1) Thank the person who nominated you.

Thanks Military Wife and Pug Life. You are the best. Always giving me good stuff to blog about and all these fancy awards.

2) Answer 10 getting to know me questions asked by the person who nominated you.

Here are my 10 questions I have to answer or ELSE

1) What is one trend, beauty or fashion, you cannot stand?

Beauty: Matte lipstick and gloss. I like to shine and sparkle.  I have no room for matte in my life unless it’s foundation to contain my greasiness!!!

Fashion: Tight leggings worn as pants with a shirt that is not covering your booty! Works my nerves. Unless your going the gym or you’re a child just don’t.

2)If you could remove all the fat and calories from any food, what would it be and why?

Definitely donuts cause they are my favorite guilty pleasure and maybe cheesecake I love that too. Okay that was two I cheated!

3) What famous person makes you want to puke?

Not sure they make me want to puke but the Kardashians cause I am sick of seeing their face plastered on everything. I do like Khloe though.

4) What song do you sing (loudly) and dance (obnoxiously) to when you are by yourself?

I do this to a lot of songs so pretty much any song on the 80’s or 90’s iTunes station but I have had Rachel Platten’s Fight Song on constant rotation in my brain so that would probably be it at the moment.

5) What was your favorite Halloween costume you ever wore?

When me and my friend dressed as babies for a Halloween party. It was comfy and we had baby bottles for our drinks so no spilling. Plus we could go right to bed after the party without having to change. SCORE

 

When I was real little it was ballerina 24/7!

6) If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do?

Walk around and see who is really talkin trash about me behind my back & scare the bejesus out of them. Muhahahahaha

Or go to Dunkin Donuts and take all the donuts!

7) What is the stupidest excuse you’ve ever used to get out of doing something? And did it work?

Hmm I am not sure but I don’t know if I would give it away cause it might be really good and I might need it in the future.

8) What is something that truly grosses you out?

Chewing with your mouth open. I don’t want to see your food!!!

9) Have you ever re-gifted a gift? What was it and who did you give it to?

I actually don’t think I have. I may have given it to someone but fully disclosed it wasn’t for me and I thought they might like it. But actually wrapping it and passing it off as if I bought it don’t think I ever have.

10) If you could go back in time and tell your teenage self anything what would it be and why?

Spend more time having fun and with your friends then with your boyfriend!

3) Nominate 10 more bloggers by asking your own 10 questions:

You know the drill I lost all my blog buddies during the big Instagram boom….Damn you Instagram!!!!

 

**Sorry the wording is all jacked but live writer would not let me fix it and it was ticking me off so I quit messing with it.**

Back Update

I went to the doctor Monday and now I am going to another doctor to get trigger point injections and possibly a epidural to see if that helps.

He wants to try not to do surgery for as long as possible since I am “Young” ← his words not mine. So we will try this and I report back to him in early October.

Finger and Toes crossed this helps cause I need my life back so mama can go shopping!!

Small Sephora Haul & August Ipsy Bag

I placed a small order to Sephora the other day. I only bought two items and the rest were freebies. I bought a small Smashbox primer water since that seems to be what everyone is talking about and raving over so I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I was almost out of my Dr. Brandt pores no more sample I got from ipsy so I ordered that as well. 

The Nars lippies was the birthday gift this year and the small makeup forever HD foundation was one of their mobile offers and the rest are samples.

I almost thought I had a mail catastrophe on my hands when I tracked my Ipsy package and it said it had been delivered but I never received it.  Thankfully it had just been put in the wrong box and I got it the next day. 

This months bag theme was prep school (ie: back to school). 

The bag is so stinkin cute this month!!

I received:

A pretty Fall nail polish from Aila in the color Mister Pookies which retails for $17.00

Batiste dry shampoo in the original scent which is a very clean scent. Full size retails for $7.99 at Ulta.

Juara Tumeric Antioxident Radiance Mask. Full size retails for $35.00 and it has really good reviews on their site so we will see.

A lip liner from Lord & Berry in the shade #3035 Nude. Full size retails for $18.00.

and lastly

A Skinn luxe waterproof eyeliner in Navy Seal. I could not find it on their site but most of their eyeliners range from $12.50-$18.00.

Hope you have a wonderful Monday!

How did I become the parent of a High Schooler!!

Him: “Mom I am not going to Smile!!!”

Me: “Oh yes you are!!!!”

Happy Back To School Monday!

I have so many quotes that I love but these are just a few!! I did not go into movie quotes cause we would be here all day LOL!

 

Most any quote of Marilyn Monroe I love but this one is so me. Most days I would rather be around my animals then most humans:

 

We are going to pretend the above quote and this one counts as one mmkay. This one is on my wall above my makeup vanity:

The next quote is kind of a no brainer because of my blog title. I may or may not be a hoarder of butterfly referenced quotes LOL!

I feel like people always get so uncomfortable when someone “changes” gains self esteem or has inner peace about their life and they want them to go back to their usual/comfortable I feel fat, I feel ugly, I hate my hair, I hate my job blah blah blah instead of just being happy they finally have “wings” and are ready to take on the next chapter of their life. Ya feel what I am saying??? Stepping off my soap box

Because I love photography I absolutely love this quote and I need to remind myself of this daily:

And this is just one that was on my phone that I think is hilarious and so true:

I don't have three!

 

The handful of people that still read my blog are family and don't have a blog or are people who used to blog but now have jumped to other social media instead of blogging.

 

I need to find more blog peeps since everyone bailed on me.  Any suggestions?
