April favourites

Here are a few things I have been loving over the past month

First off American horror story - I don't know what took me so long to get to this party but I'm addicted! I'm already on season 4 and I started the series the beging of the month.

The second book in miss peregrine's peculiar children series hollow city - I love anything strange, weird or creepy so this is right up my ally. With the old style photos and the peculiars in the book.

Equate invigorating facial cleanser - So I really haven't done anything with my face my whole life. No skin care not even really washed it besides in the shower.  But now that I'm to a certain age I feel like I should be doing something. So I started with this my skin broke out in a few places the first week and now it's fine and it's way smoother looking. Not so many bumps or redness.

Mary Kay's botanical moisturizer - same idea as the cleanser I decided in the winter I should fight the dry skin so I bought this. It makes my skin feel soft and not greasy

Hard Candy's Hey Mr Mister - I have had this for ages and it smells sooo goods! It's black orchids and vanilla and I just love the smell.

Hard Candy's Moonstone Blush - this is the first blush I have ever owned. For some reason I was always scared of blush I think it's from my years of dance when we had it on so think we looked like clowns. But that's stage make up and this is perfect for my fair complexion. And it give me a sort of  glow that I love.

Annabelle Grapefruit Lip Balm -  as someone with chronic illnesses. I still like to no look dead even if it's just me and hubby lazing around the house. I find this great as it give a little color but it takes no effort. And again if people stop on by I don't feel as completely trash bag looking even if I'm in lounging clothes with that tiny pop of color.

My new phone - I got a new iPhone 6. My 4s was so slow and half not working. So hubby decided since he was getting a new phone we should get me one as well. It was a great choice and I love it.

And lastly Asapoth.com lip balm #7 - Katie sent this to me from the UK and I have it sitting here with me books. I have been using while I have been reading and doing paper work today and it goes on so smooth and my lips feel so soft. I have never had a lip balm that is this smooth it's amazing.

So that it for today monkey butts! See you on the flip side

Mail day! MUA and Mandara and sooo much more!

sent to get the mail today and I had a lovely letter from a spoonie friend and an amazing package from an amazing spoonie sister from the UK!
She was right on with everything she picked for me😊 I am especially loving the MUA lip boom. It looks amazing and smells divine! I think I'm gonna have to get my hands on some more of their products. Specialy if they all smell so good! Haha
Also she sent a few Mandara Spa items and once again they smelled soooo good! I opened the box and this is the first thing I smelled. The lotion doesn't just smell amazing but left my hands so soft. And the smell lingers with you which is nice. You can definitely feel the quality of these products.
Once again I'm gonna need to look into getting my hands on more of these products when I use them up. They are in the sent amber heaven and I just can't get over how good it smells!
I could go on and on about everything in this package. Like I said it feels like she knows me so well with what she picked! She also makes jewelry and made me the most precious bracelet which is perfect for me!

I'm feeling pretty crummy today so all I did was water the garden, washed the sliding doors, check the mail, vacuums both cars and washed mine.
I hope to get some reading done and maybe finish waxing my legs. I have had laser hair removal so I just wax the blond  hairs 2-3 times a year cause I'm crazy and don't like hair on arms, legs etc
I did a lot around the house and yard the past few days. So I feel kinda lazy today.
Tomorrow night is my nephews 2nd ball game. It's just down the street from me so I wanna  go and have some energy.
I'm excited for my color pop order the colors are so beautiful and it's all really good  prices!
Might need to find someone to go in on an order together. Cause there are so many items I wanna try.

My garden...

Well I started planting my garden this week. It's nice to get it in a few weeks early! So far I planted spinach, kale, lettuce, turnip, carrots, green beans, yellow beans, purple beans, peas, cucumbers, patty pan squash, butternut squash,  acorn squash, spaghetti squash, radishes, honeydew and cantaloupe.
Today I hope to plant the white pumpkins and 2 types of potatoes. My rhubarb is finally doing good. Kirk usually mows it over. I think it's cause he hates it! Haha my hunky berry bush is doing amazing for a sale item that looked half dead last year. My blueberry bush is just starting and I think my pink lemonade blue berries as well. I have 30 strawberry plants some are up. Others I moved so I hope they took well and didn't die from winter. And my 2 raspberry bushes are still tiny. But they were like dead  twigs when they hit planted 3 years ago.
My garden is all fenced in so the bunnies don't eat it. And I used chicken wire as well to make trellis got the beans and peas etc to climb so I can have more space. I really want more permanent vertical gardening system some day.

I can't wait to have fresh veggies every day again 😊

Why do I

why do I keep buying make up when I'm so horrible at putting it on?! Someone wanna come and do my make up every day?  Or teach me? I have slowly been doing more. I bought a brow pencil and my first blush and have been using those. So yeah I'm slowly branching out. I just can't do eyes  they always look horrific! I don't know what it is 😕 muffin doesn't like me in make up any ways. Which I know everyone says  oh guys just say that. But no anytime I wear makeup he's like " urg why you don't need yo you look better with out!"which is nice of him to think haha I asked my mother in law about this. She sells Avon and every year my stocking is full of make up I have so many eye liners and mascara's. She said his dad is the same way and always has been. He would always tell her she didn't need make up and was better with out. So I guess it's in his blood haha
But I like to wear alittle to make my self feel better about my self. Specially with my weight being  an issue right now it really makes me feel a little less grotesque.
Now to just learn to use it and I guess practise!

Mr sun

I have spent so much time in the yard this week and I got heat stroke and sun burnt to prove it!
I rakes up some leaves, pulled out some small trees, picked up branches, pulled grass, watered my gardens and planted some of my garden.
I love being in the yard and surprisingly I worked 2 full days 10am to7 pm. I did have to take it easy on day 3.  But it was mostly so to the sun stroke and burn surprisingly.  My medical team has been amazing at getting me to this point. So I can at least sometimes help my hubby in the yard.
I'm hoping while he's gone I can take down a trellis and rip out the vines, plant the rest of my garden and plant some more wild flowers etc. I also have some plans to clean in the house.
I'm hoping my body holds up. I always pace my self and sometimes it seems like months tell I am well enough to help out. But summer is always better cause it's warm as long as I pace my self.
Remembering to do my exercises is also so important. I think the fatigue is the worst. Still haven't found a way to deal with that. But maybe in time.

And he's off again!

Hubby worked at 4 am and is home now 930am to do some yard work and get garbage to the dump as he's off to Calgary for work again. He's been requested to go out there a lot to help set up some stuff. It's been great for him. It really looks good that they want him specially while he's applying for jobs to move with in the company.
I'm hoping to get some yard and house work done while he's gone since he's been so amazing and even took time to replace the 4 out side lights for me before he left.
He's just the bestest
