I thought I would share it with you!</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Securely bobby pin the hair half up. </b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b> Step 2: roll the remaining hair up towards the pinned section and pin the roll in place.</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b> Step 3: pull hair from both sides and bring it around to the top and secure with bobby pins.</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> When you are finished you can play with it a little to get it how you like. I like it a tad messy, so I pulled at it in parts and left some hair down in the front. Have fun!</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Sorry it has been so long since I blogged. I got lost in mommy hood, the gym, my husband and all things "housewife". Summer is finally here and let me just give it a big loud "WELCOME!!!!" I'll keep this short, sweet and to the point. Here are a few of my new favorite things...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_UhjpsgRwtI/Tf-M3iLQsKI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/Z1OWsOcR7cw/s1600/loreal_mousse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_UhjpsgRwtI/Tf-M3iLQsKI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/Z1OWsOcR7cw/s1600/loreal_mousse.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> L'oreal Paris Magic Smooth Souffle. I am IN LOVE with this foundation. I was a tad skeptical at first, I thought I would go through it in a few days because it doesn't look like you get that much. I was completely proven wrong...a little goes a long way with this stuff and the foundation goes on so smoothly. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BKeb3HyhflE/Tf-OoeF-KvI/AAAAAAAAAJU/AxklPe18eek/s1600/MAC-Mineralize-Sheersheen-Loose-Powder-Lucent-3-4g-0-12oz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BKeb3HyhflE/Tf-OoeF-KvI/AAAAAAAAAJU/AxklPe18eek/s320/MAC-Mineralize-Sheersheen-Loose-Powder-Lucent-3-4g-0-12oz.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Mac Lucent Mineralize Sheersheen Powder. This is one of the best highlighting powders I have ever used. It works perfectly for the "fresh dewy" look. It is beautiful...seriously!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1M_zc9obZPA/Tf-P3AWAkqI/AAAAAAAAAJY/fINed7BjO10/s1600/f4c5fc3329c5f020_Bobbi-Brown-Long-Wear-Gel-Eyeliner-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1M_zc9obZPA/Tf-P3AWAkqI/AAAAAAAAAJY/fINed7BjO10/s1600/f4c5fc3329c5f020_Bobbi-Brown-Long-Wear-Gel-Eyeliner-2.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner in "Thunder Storm". I always used pencil eyeliners before, but I am a huge fan of gel eyeliners now. For me, the application is easier (as long as you have a stiff angled brush) and it really does last all day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X96cqsOBMQA/Tf-RCoN6fPI/AAAAAAAAAJc/6afTG6OCjfE/s1600/esteelauder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-X96cqsOBMQA/Tf-RCoN6fPI/AAAAAAAAAJc/6afTG6OCjfE/s1600/esteelauder.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Estee Lauder Double Wear Mineral Rich Loose Powder Makeup in "Intensity 2.0". On days I feel like wearing a mineral makeup, I usually reach for this one. The coverage is amazing and it never feels caked on or clumpy like some powders can. Love it...just love it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tnIfE_LyM0Q/Tf-S1yz4wpI/AAAAAAAAAJg/fla8Fqi0BQw/s1600/elflipstick.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tnIfE_LyM0Q/Tf-S1yz4wpI/AAAAAAAAAJg/fla8Fqi0BQw/s320/elflipstick.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Elf Mineral Lipsticks! They are so lovely on and super cheap so you can get every color without guilt :)<br />
<br />
Well those are my favorites for June! Enjoy :)<br />

I did 3 bridesmaids, the bride, mother of the bride, and mother of the groom. It was a great experience and I had so much fun doing it! Sorry if I have been a tad M.I.A. lately, just been busy with Zumba, my baby girl, and makeup. Very good things to be busy doing, but I promise more posts are to come in the future :) That's all for now, have a great day!<br />

My friends are so helpful and willing to let me play and practice on them. Brandie and I decided to try a darker smokey look, and boy oh boy...the girl is a fox. Even though we did her makeup at 2 in the afternoon, she looks like she is ready for a hot date with her hubby! lol Thanks again Brandie :)<br />

I wanted to try something fun. I've seen a lot of people doing one nail of glitter or something as a fun accent to ordinary nails. I decided to take that up a notch and bedazzle mine. I have been obsessed with purple lately and found a really pretty color called "Let's Talk" from Sinful Colors. You can get Sinful Colors nail polish at almost any drugstore and they are only $1.99. I actually prefer them over O.P.I. and Essie. I bought rhinestone stickers from Michaels, but you can get them at any craft store in any variation of colors you want. The stickers I bought were around $3. Lastly, I bought Kiss Everlasting French press on nails for $6. In all, this nail project cost around $11. Not bad for adorable nails that last almost 2 weeks! Kiss press on nails always stay on my nails pretty well, but you will just have to see for yourself :) Enjoy my beauties!<br />

I love their makeup soooo much. Their makeup comes in smaller quantities, but is dirt cheap, so you can't really be mad. They had a sale where if you spent at least $20 you got 10 mineral eye shadows for free! you heard me right...FREE! I jumped on that deal the first chance I got. So far I really like how they look, and they blend extremely well!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So here are the things I got, and a small description...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iskxLVbSAGI/TWchBUwQwYI/AAAAAAAAAFE/z7o-ZSk_Zfs/s1600/11187R.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iskxLVbSAGI/TWchBUwQwYI/AAAAAAAAAFE/z7o-ZSk_Zfs/s1600/11187R.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I bought 3 eyeshadow brushes from E.L.F. I got the contour brush, small precision brush and eyeshadow brush. They are extremely soft and apply makeup fabulously. The contour brush blends wonderfully and I am in love with it....in.love.with.it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sRFltM7ycMs/TWchBkxeAOI/AAAAAAAAAFI/Lq0eW_s5_pk/s1600/6501_mineral-eye-shadow_prodpage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sRFltM7ycMs/TWchBkxeAOI/AAAAAAAAAFI/Lq0eW_s5_pk/s1600/6501_mineral-eye-shadow_prodpage.jpg" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The mineral eye shadows are gorgeous! They come in a pretty small container but with mineral shadows, they tend to last a lot longer. I got ten different shades, all of which are shimmery and fabulous! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VEuGUivm_hg/TWchB_bHVtI/AAAAAAAAAFM/raTBtw4YEZk/s1600/85008_makeup-remover-cleansing-cloth_prodpage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VEuGUivm_hg/TWchB_bHVtI/AAAAAAAAAFM/raTBtw4YEZk/s1600/85008_makeup-remover-cleansing-cloth_prodpage.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> When it comes time to "take off your face", these wipes work really well. Added bonus, they smell pretty good too!</div><br />

It's a spray that you put on your face after your makeup is applied that keeps your skin moisturized so your makeup looks better and your face never looks dry.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MPCeg0bM7pk/TWchCMTgusI/AAAAAAAAAFU/RWdeCQH3jBw/s1600/83139_blush_prodpage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MPCeg0bM7pk/TWchCMTgusI/AAAAAAAAAFU/RWdeCQH3jBw/s1600/83139_blush_prodpage.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I bought the blush in this white/pearly shade and I use it as a highlighter. I love the way it looks, makes your face look luminous. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dg7mG1r9BPY/TWchCbZ1QOI/AAAAAAAAAFY/pEPIx_NZLjI/s1600/83131_studioblush_prodpage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dg7mG1r9BPY/TWchCbZ1QOI/AAAAAAAAAFY/pEPIx_NZLjI/s1600/83131_studioblush_prodpage.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> This is the same blush, in a peachy coral shade.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> For the past few months I have been back and forth, back and forth, back and forth about what I want to "do with my life". I know I want to something that makes people feel better about themselves. I have always done my friends' hair and makeup for them for fun. I love making them look their best and helping give them confidence. I have thought about cosmetology school for a loooooong time, but my interest is more in make up artistry than hair. Recently I was just browsing the internet and I stumbled across make up artist trainings. Of course, there were ZERO in Idaho. Sad sad sad. But then....I found a few online programs that sound awesome! I am enrolling in a 4 week online program that is to die for. I will be learning from DVD's, a workbook, power point presentations and practicing on volunteers. The school will send me a professional travel carry case, a crap ton of makeup, and all the instructional materials I will need. I am beyond excited for all the possibilities this will bring for me. Being a stay at home mom, I have been feeling a void. I love spending every day with Lola, but I need to feel useful and productive at the same time. Once I get my makeup career going, I will be able to book and schedule appointments based on my schedule and still be able to spend lots of time with my baby girl. I cannot wait to start this new chapter in my life, and be doing something I absolutely love! </span>Mrs. DeBiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00601490080179390563noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79913046370049251.post-84221846607035361492011-02-01T20:31:00.002-07:002011-02-01T20:34:59.356-07:00Makeup I'm In Love With<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Alright ladies...I have been blessed to have an awesome makeup hookup! A friend of mine gets TONS of free makeup samples from her Aunt, and the sweetie that she is, she always gives me a bunch of fun stuff! She recently gave me a huge bag of makeup, mostly consisting of Smashbox products (which are my favorite anyway). I have to say that I am obsessed with their Burlesque line.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6QS5_PdeG0g/TUjKmjusbBI/AAAAAAAAAEA/Yin267siMHs/s1600/burlesque.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="194" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6QS5_PdeG0g/TUjKmjusbBI/AAAAAAAAAEA/Yin267siMHs/s320/burlesque.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">The colors go great for a colorful smoky eye. The shimmer powder that comes with it is gorgeous, very light and pearly. You will love it! I got it for $FREE.99 but the price is awesome for all that you get. The eye shadows last a really long time and are so fun! </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

I absolutely love them to death. They add a pretty color without being too thick and sticky like some lip glosses can be. $18</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">A friend of mine recently got me hooked on E.L.F. products.

It's really more of a healthy lifestyle change, but I'm calling it our diet anyway. I want to get back to the weight I was when we met. I gained 20 pounds after we got married and then 30 with my pregnancy. I am determined to reach my weight goal and have more drive than I ever have in any other diet. So far I have lost 15 pounds since Lola was born and I want to lose more more more. We are trying to eat 5 small meals a day (which is hard for me, I forget to eat a lot because I'm busy with the baby). Teaching Zumba is helping a lot in my goal. As of right now I am teaching 4 classes a week, plus one Saturday a month and Club Zumba on Friday nights. Those of you that know me well, know that I LOVE to shop. So my big reward for losing all the weight is going to be an extravagant shopping trip to Boise! I'll post every few weeks to update how I'm doing with my goal. Ideally I will be where I want to be by July...I can do this!Mrs. DeBiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00601490080179390563noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79913046370049251.post-16915715632012454532011-01-16T12:08:00.000-07:002011-01-16T12:08:21.145-07:00Bed time blues<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6QS5_PdeG0g/TTNB6BX0gRI/AAAAAAAAADY/n0kJV642duA/s1600/beautifulbaby3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6QS5_PdeG0g/TTNB6BX0gRI/AAAAAAAAADY/n0kJV642duA/s320/beautifulbaby3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Lola is just barely 6 months old now. Time has flown by so fast and she is growing and learning new things every day! We've just begun bed time rituals with her so that she can soothe herself to sleep. Up until now we have been rocking and singing her to sleep, then placing her in her crib. This week we have started changing that up so that we can have a smoother bed time for both Lola and us. Our routine begins with bath time, followed by a bottle, then a few books and off to the crib. We are weaning Lola off of pacifiers as well as establishing a bed time routine. Lola won't take a pacifier unless she's going to bed, so hopefully it won't be too difficult. We're on day 3 of this new bed time routine and so far so good. The hardest part is hearing her cry until she falls asleep. Since we're putting her in her crib awake so that she can help herself fall asleep, she gets angry and cries for about 10-20 minutes before calming down and allowing herself to fall asleep. I know what we're doing is good for her (and us) in the long run, but it's just hard to listen to your baby cry. My only hope is that at some point she will get used to this routine and go in her crib without crying. Since we've started this new plan, Lola has slept so much better and her naps have been longer. </b></span><br />

</b></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> I am so glad that Troy and I are on the same page when it comes to parenting. We are only in the beginning of our parenting adventure together, but so far we have agreed on almost everything, and negotiated everything else. It really makes a difference to work together as opposed to each of us trying our own techniques and undermining the other. </b></span>Mrs. DeBiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00601490080179390563noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79913046370049251.post-42710786519526733062010-12-05T19:49:00.000-07:002010-12-05T19:49:18.658-07:00Family photos 2010<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6QS5_PdeG0g/TPxOuXX_TFI/AAAAAAAAACI/rxXwfLzKA_M/s1600/72218_176178632397139_170240029657666_637344_4276081_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6QS5_PdeG0g/TPxOuXX_TFI/AAAAAAAAACI/rxXwfLzKA_M/s320/72218_176178632397139_170240029657666_637344_4276081_n.jpg" width="206" /></a></div><br />

It's been crazy how everything changes when you get the news you're going to be parents. My pregnancy was extremely rough for the first trimester, and didn't ease up until well into the second trimester. I'm 33 weeks now and am trying to treasure all the joys of pregnancy before they are gone! I love feeling Lola move around and kick inside of me. It's a very cool feeling but I can't wait to actually hold her and see her.<br /> Troy has been amazing throughout the pregnancy. I am so lucky to have such an understanding husband. Sure, he has his moments, but overall he has been wonderful! We can't wait to meet our little baby girl, only 7 more weeks to go :)Mrs. DeBiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00601490080179390563noreply@blogger.com0
