If you have read my blog at any point in time, for any length of time - or even if you are just passing through- I am sure you probably get a vibe from me that I am a full on girly-girl type of girl! I can remember always being this way when I was a little girl, even though I can also remember playing with my tonka dump truck (it was metal) but I can also remember my pretend make up sets and even those lip glosses from avon back in the day called kool kisses or something like that. I even wanted my hair in curlers - and I have naturally curly hair :) So when something girly-girl like hair goodies or make up come up for me to be able to review , it doesn't take very much arm pulling for me to be like sure send them right over! I recently got lucky and got in touch with Christie Brinkley Authentic Beauty Cosmetics and I was really excited when they sent over a package of goodies for me to feature here on the blog! I was lucky enough to receive 6 different … [Read more...]
Review: RescueHer Kit #review #sponsored #rescueher
I haven't reviewed since Christmas Ya'll! Can you believe it? I was so wore out after doing the first part of my gift guide, all the sponsored myrtle beach posts, my mattress review and then the gift guide- that all happened in about a 3 month or so span so I guess a rest was appropriate! I just didn't plan to take so long to get back into things- but here I am and I hope I can keep up the spirit :) Sometimes I get something that is seemingly so simple that just really rocks my world, and that is the case with this review! I was lucky enough to find out about RescueHer and then when they offered to send me one I was beyond excited- even though due to our address situation I had it sent to my moms since it traveled via USPS but that wasn't a big deal- I just had to wait until my mom was coming over to get it -which I got lucky it came early one morning and she was coming over anyways :) The Rescueher kit is this super amazing concept - A kit with … [Read more...]
I’ll whine until Fall at this rate
Hey Everyone OH MY GOD THE HEAT IS HERE FOR REAL YA'LL!! IT is MUGGY and HOT and EW :( *cries* I swear every year that I dont remember it being this hot in the summer when I was a child- and I used to play outside when I was a child- in the summer! I think it is because I was either used to it, or maybe it is because I didn't spend a lot of my summer here in n.c but in the hills of VA! Between the muggy heat and the crap rain.. it isn't any wonder I am already like screw this crap! I wanted to get out and go tanning this evening but it is like bathwater outside so with my asthma I am not thinking that this would be the best idea! I am going to have to see if David might want to start doing the tanning thing more late in the evening ( they are open till 10 for god sakes) he's just usually wanting to get it done when he gets home which is cool because by the time he eats and showers and relaxes a bit he wants to go to bed and I understand that for sure- he doesn't want to go … [Read more...]
Tuesday 10- Summer Goals (blog & general)
Here are the 10 things I am hoping to implement here on the blog /do in general this summer start doing book posts! I don't know if you saw my announcement but I am open to tours, blitzes, cover reveals, etc I am not so much for reviews , unless it is a select few authors but -if you are interested in any of these things feel free to check out my goodreads for more on the books i've been reading and email nichole@autumn-rain.net for more information! I am hoping to post a feature (my first ) This week if all goes well! READ MYSELF INSANE :) I've read 25 books in the last month- with a lot of days reading 3 books (around 1000 pages) a day- and a lot of days I didn't even read. Me and Kindle Unlimited are going to be getting quite chummy! Finish up ALL outstanding reviews. There are 5. I would LOVE to essentially have 3-4 of them done by This Friday June 01 but.. I'm not sure if that will happen or not. My end game goal is by Mid June so we'll see! IN my mind these are the … [Read more...]
i’ll try again next weekend :)
Hey Everyone Well.. My weekend wasn't what I expected- then again when is it ever? lol I have had plans for 2 weeks straight now to get a big spring cleaning done in the house while David is around so it doesn't seem so boring and mundane- plus I have someone to help and keep the fur babies in line you know? Well.. After Davids brother got in the wreck (Hydroplaned and hit a tree) it all kind of went out the window. Thankfully his brother was o.k and everything of course but it kind of ate up the whole day there after the fact on our end! We had been talking about getting steaks and such to make that day- so I kept holding out and hoping David would let me know about eating and such. Well.. of course he didn't..and by the time he came back he had alex with him (GRRR there went any hopes for getting anything done) and I was hungry to the point of being sick :( Anyways eating was kind of a mistake at this point (it was like 5 or so by this point) Anyways, I ended up being sick to … [Read more...]
Well I didn’t plan to blog this weekend, but….
Hey Everyone Well.. Phew! I got up pretty early this morning- I mean I am generally 9 a/m but I think it was around 8 anyways.. David and I changed sheets on the bed and started washing the comforter to the bed and we had plans to like clean the heck out of this house today ... We were trying to figure out what we were going to eat today and all of that. I mean we were really just getting started when David found out his brother had been in a wreck! He Didn't have any details except that he was in the hospital and he had to go. Oh, and that my bro in laws car is totaled. Turns out he hydroplaned and then hit a tree. I don't know ANYTHING else other than that just yet! I mean at least he isn't hurt badly, no one else is either and all that kind of thing you know?I have tried to do a few things around the house- straightened the couch, took Marley out, got the dishes going .. my biggest thing is trying to get the comforter for the bed dry. I keep accidentally hitting Sensor dry … [Read more...]
