Say it don't Spray it!

Hey All!  So I wanted to do a quick post night...sharing something that I totally LOVE!

So most of you that know me know I'm kind of obsessed with make-up.  I love make-up....BIG TIME!  But one of the biggest disappointments with make-up is that you can take so much time doing your make-up just to have a big majority of it "washed off" by the early afternoon/evening.  This isn't the end of the of the world I suppose, but if I have to run errands after work I certainly do not wait to look like I'm melting...anyway...

So years ago I started buying a setting spray from a fabulous company that I get a good majority of my make-up from(elf cosmetics)...their price is good as it's only $6.00..but when that is the only thing that I have run out of I definitely cannot justify spending a whack load on shipping and handling so I decided to find my own recipe.  MAC is known for their MAC fix and spray.  I again cannot justify buying it because it's CRAZY expensive....but I found a recipe that supposedly is similar to theirs.

*Keep in mind I am not saying this recipe is 100% the same because I honestly have no clue.  I have never used the MAC fix and spray.  I'm sure the products is great, but the price tag in my opinion isn't.

Anyway...I wanted to share this homemade recipe with you all.  I have used and I seriously LOVE it.

So here is what you will need:

Glycerine (got from Wal-Mart for $4.99)
Distilled Water (got from Wal-Mart for $2.00)
Small spray bottle (already had but can buy at the Dollar Store )
Rubbing Alcohol (super cheap at Wal-Mart for like $2.00-3.00-most of us already have this laying around our house which I had.)

Basically you want to sterilize your spray bottle before using it with the rubbing alcohol.  Then to make the spray you will take 1 part Glycerine to 3 parts Distilled Water.

I spent in total $7.00 and I have plenty of materials left, enough to make at least 3-4 more batches.  Once you've measured, and poured the 2 ingredients into your spray bottle close the bottle up and then shake it really well.  Voila...you've got your own setting spray.

After you've completed your make-up for the day, simply spray a light mist all over your face and you'll be styling for the entire day.

Have fun with it....:)

Night all

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta

Six Months...

I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that on the
