As I stated I'm updating. There has been alot going on here and I kind of took a subbatical from work. I couldn't focus on my career and family when they were pulling me in different directions, my family came first. Our 16 year old let his grades slip so I've had to be on top of him more then I probably should. I say "let" because he knows the work and can do it, his test scores are good, as he put it "I got lazy". The 12 year olds grades are good but he has been fosusing alot on sports and what season it is, keeping me running. The 10 year old is a Star student, perfect grades, in leadership at her school and still doing Cheerleading so really busy. The 5yo is about to start kindergarden, and as much as I want him to grow up, I get scared because he is the "baby" and I want to keep him little. He has started playing football this year and his first practice is tonight. My Husband has been kicked down with illness the last few years, between the seizures and migraines, the COPD and the essintial tremors, We recently found out that he has AVN and had a fractured femur. The femur has healed and he is going in for a total hip replacement on the 24th of August for the AVN. He will be 40 on the 14th of August, so really young for a replacement. I am hoping that him being young will help with the bounceback from surgery. Will update again later on how the surgery goes and his recovery.

Now things are more normal here I plan on working again. There have been some changes with Affordable Mineral Makeup™. Starting with a new owner. Arlene Sherman now owns AMM and is doing a great job of keeping things going and working well with all her consultants. I spoke with her on the phone yesterday and she is an insperational lady. I have ordered since she took over and am happy to say I recieved my order in the same short 3 days as I had before. Same great service is being offered just by a new person. She has a Professional Makeup Artist joining our team very shortly, and he will be available to help all of us (consultants and customers). There will be a few more changes along the way, I will post as they begin to happen.

As always there are alot of new colors that have been added www.mineralsbycherl.com and they are all beautiful. Some colors have been taken down, but you can also mix your own colors, or if you are looking for something specific ask me and I will see if we can get it.

Anyways, I am back to work now, so if you need any colors, or want to try Affordable Mineral Makeup and you are close to me let me know. I would love to meet with you and do a color match. If you use a different brand of Mineral Makeup compare the ingredients I know you will be suprised, we are all natural with the least amount of ingredients and NO fillers!!! Nothing that will harm your skin will ever be in AMM.

Till later....

Puffy eyes? hide them with makeup

2009-02-12T16:11:00.000-08:00

1. Use a highlighter shade in the inner corners of the eyes.

2. Use a dark matte shadow in the crease of the eye (wherever it is bulging or puffy).

3. Extend eyeliner along the lashes going from the inner corner to the outer corner. If you prefer use a dark eye pencil in the inner lid rim. Never use the pencil under lower lashes. It will accentuate the bulging of the eye.

4. Emphasize upper lashes with mascara especially the outer lashes. Use very little or no mascara on lower lashes.

Applying eyeshadow

2009-02-08T16:00:00.000-08:00

Once your foundation is on, gradually apply lighter shades first, slowly working up to your final color. An important fact to remember is, use colors that blend together naturally. It's not where you place the colors: it's that they work together and blend together invisibly. •

The first step of applying eyeshadow is to apply a light color over your entire eye lid from lash line to brow. Use a large flat eyeshadow brush. Always use good quality brushes.

The second step is to apply a medium shadow color on your lower lid from lash line to the crease of your eye. I like a blending brush or small concealer brush.

The third step is to use your darkest color as a liner and apply along your lash line. To insure shadow will not flake, dampen your eyeliner brush before applying shadow. This will make it last longer.

TIP: You do not want this to look like three separate colors.

Today, I read Vicki’s blog (http://lunawolfs.blogspot.com/) and found that she had been given The Honest Scrap Award, shared some honest things about herself and in return gave the award to others she deemed fit, I was one of those people.

So, without further ado, here are the details and me giving The Honest Scrap Award to other great women, moms and wives.

The rules are as follows:
a) List 10 honest things about yourself.
b) Pass the award on to seven bloggers whom you feel embody the spirit of the Honest Scrap.

1. I am defiantly addicted to my computer, even my cell phone is hooked up to the internet so I don’t miss much.

2. I'm a coffee junkie, I drink it from the time I get up till the time I go to bed. Generally 4-5 pots a day by myself.

3. I cannot stand liars or thieves. No explanation needed

4. I love being a mom and a wife

5. I love making lists, even if I don’t do what is on them just the accomplishment of making the list

6. I love cheerleading, to watch my DD start from the beginning and all she learns and the since of accomplishment she gets from it is terrific.

7. I push my kids to be the best they can be, in school and in life, I also expect respect from them.

8. I go out of my way to help others when I can.

9. I am my worst critic and very hard on myself.

10. Really do not like people that don’t follow through with what they say. If you say you will do something do it promptly. Don’t leave other waiting without acknowledgement.

My 7 Honest Scrappers that I'm passing The Honest Scrap Award to are:

I know it is supposed to be 7, but I can only come up with 5 besides Vicki and I’m not going to make her do it again.

Crockpot Lasagna

2009-01-07T08:21:00.000-08:00

Here is the actual recipe, For my family I doubled it. I made my homemade spaghetti sauce as normal, then followed the directions on layerering it. I did cook it for 6 hours on low and one side did start to burn, I will remember not to cook so long the next time. Everyone enjoyed it so all is well.

1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (12 ounce) package lasagna noodles
12 ounces cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

In a large skillet over medium heat cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until brown. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt, and oregano and stir until well incorporated. Cook until heated through.
In a large bowl mix together the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Spoon a layer of the meat mixture onto the bottom of the slow cooker. Add a double layer of the uncooked lasagna noodles. Break to fit noodles into slow cooker. Top noodles with a portion of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layering of sauce, noodles, and cheese until all the ingredients are used.
Cover, and cook on LOW setting for 4 to 6 hours.

FEEDING THE WOLF:

2009-01-02T19:22:00.000-08:00

Shadow Wisdom From Apache Indian Lore

As legend goes, an Elder of the Apache Indian tribe was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A terrible fight is going on inside of me, and it is a struggle between two wolves.

One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, hatred, intolerance, self-pity, false pride, regret and resentment.

The other wolf symbolizes peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, tolerance, courage, empathy, generosity, truth, forgiveness and compassion.

The same fight is going on inside you, my children, and inside every other person, too."The grandchildren thought about the story for a while.

Finally, one child asked, "Which wolf will win, Grandfather?"

The old man simply replied, "The one you feed."

Happy New Year's

I quit my "real" job today. Telemarketing just wasn't for me, I did try for 3 months and just couldn't do it. I'm not pushy and I'm not going to try to be. I did do alot of thinking about this and did discuss it with my husband. We decided that I can focus 100% on my home business Affordable Mineral Makeup™ and on Avon, an that he is even willing to help me where he can.

I am looking to do alot of parties and consultations. I have a few things in mind to start with and I need to get on the phone and making them happen.

We are working on decluttering the house, and when we get rid of enough stuff we are seriously considering moving. We have the game plan and we are working on figuring out just how to get it done.

there is a basic update. going to call it a night soon and get started early tomorrow.

Burrito Casserole

2008-12-26T19:18:00.000-08:00

Serves 6 to 8
8 small (fajita-size) flour tortillas
2 cups refried beans
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 small red onion, diced
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 1/2 cups store bought salsa (medium for a spicier taste)
Optional: 1 minced fresh jalapeno pepper
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut 5 of the flour tortillas into strips, about 1/2 inches in width and set aside. Line the bottom of a 9 by 13 casserole dish with the remaining flour tortillas. Spread an even layer of refried beans over the tortillas.

2. In a large skillet heat the canola oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and beef to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes; breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is no longer pink. Pour off and discard any excess liquid, stir in the salsa.

3. Spread meat mixture over the refried beans, sprinkle on optional jalapeno peppers. Top with tortilla strips and sprinkle on cheddar cheese. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven until cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Serve with sour cream, chopped tomatoes, and chopped avocado on the side.

We left and met the bus on Wednesday, it was a good trip, a little snow over Donner pass but we had a good bus driver and made it safely there about 10:30pm. We beat all the moms that were driving down (because it would be faster in there cars). All the girls on the bus were great, we had 42 girls ages 8 to 14, and they were quiet and respectful. (only 2 Ravens and myself, the rest were Patriots, our sister team) we watched movies, and it was nice. Got to the hotel after waiting for parents the girls got to bed about midnight. On Thanksgiving the girls were allowed to sleep in, (my 3 were up at 8am) so we met the team for breakfast and then went to practice. None of the girls wanted to practice and emotions were flying high. We have 10 girls ages 8-11 so you can imagine. Got back to the hotel, and the girls all went swimming. they were having so much fun, it was good to see them play and enjoy themselves. We got ready for dinner, and had Thanksgiving in San Jose. It was okay. I've had better food(and less expensive, but I'm used to casino buffets) and they did run out of food which disapointed alot of people. $30 buffet you wold think you would be full when you left.

Went back to the hotel and all the girls were in there PJ's and running around, we put hair up in curlers and then found one of our girls had lice. Not fun all the bedding and towels in all 3 rooms had to be changed, She went to stay in her mom's room to protect the girl from it spreading. (No one else has it, so I think we are good). Got the girls in bed abot 10:30pm, busyFriday ahead.

The alarm went off at 6 am, we were meeting at 6:30 for breakfast and hair to be finished. Needed to get on the bus at 8 am, that means being checked out of the hotel. Got it all done, barely, lol Got to competition and had a little bit of time to practice after check in. The girlsdid good at practice, all focased and smiling. Once they hit the mat, they did okay, didn't get one star up and dropped a stunt. I felt so bad for them. They handled it okay and did keep there sprit up. When awards were called, they weren't suprised they took second cuz they knew what they did wrong.

The other girls left after that, to go home with there parents, Chey and I stayed and watched the afternoon preformances. Chey was crying with the Patriot girls when they came out and didn't hit there routine. They don't get to go to FL.

We then boarded the bus and came home, It was a sad bus ride home, no on was happy execpt Chey and she was trying to not be excited cuz she was the only one going to FL.

We got in about 9:30 last night and by the time we got home I was too tired to be on the computer. wil try to get the pics off my phone and posted soon.

looking for sponsors

*Posting my daughters letter for her.

Hi my name is Cheyenne and I am an 8 year old cheerleader. I am a part of the Jr. Pee Wee Ravens Cheer squad. We have 11 girls on our team ages 8-11. Recently we took 1st place at our local competition, and we are excited to say that we are going to Regional competition in Santa Clara, Ca. and then to National Competition in Orlando, FL.

The reason I am writing is because these trips are expensive and without your generous support, myself and the team will not be able to go. I am currently seeking individual or corporate sponsors to help me continue on. Please take a moment of your time to consider contributing to this extremely worthy cause and something that I hold very true and dear.

Any charitable donation you personally or your esteemed organization can provide would mean the world to me! Any donations I receive will help me with the long distance trips to competitions required for this season’s success. I certainly hope you find it in your heart to help me with whatever monetary donation you can provide. Without your support and good wishes in our continued struggle for success, we the youth of today would not be able to dream of competing.

Thank you for your time and all that you already do for our community. Your continued support and dedication to the youth of today is much appreciated and always welcomed.

Sincerely,

Cheyenne

Thank you in advance for your interest and support. Your donation is tax deductible.

Can accept paypal or checks.

update

2008-11-02T16:38:00.001-08:00

So An update...been busy with football and Cheer. I'm working outside of the home for a telemarketing company. Not the greatest job but I can work the hours I want and still be home with the kids when they need me. I am still selling Avon and Affordable Mineral Makeup but the call center is definate income coming in weekly which is needed. I will be going with Chey on her trip and leaving the boys home. :)

Joseph is okay, still don't know why he is having the sesures but the meds have been helping and they are getting to be fewer. He is still working full time but they cut off his overtime so that is why I'm working. On a good note we just celebrated his 4th birthday on Oct. 20th.

Ashton had his last game Friday (halloween) I felt bad that the boys missing trick or treating but he signed the comitment so he held to it, the parents did buy bags of candy and we put them together on the sidelines so the boys did get a huge bag of mixed candy. Over all for the season we had 1 win 7 losses. not a good season but he had fun and wants to do it again next year. He is doing well in school nothing lower then a B.

Steffan has 1 more game of high school football. (1 week and he is done) there standing is 0 win 9 losses. His overall behavior is little better but still has a mouth. He is starting to get lower grades and things aren't so easy (Probably due to them being some college credits) I'm hoping with football done the graes will come up.

Chey is still my little princess, She has regionals for Cheer Thanksgiving weekend (in Santa Clara CA) and possibly nationals the first week in Decmber (at Disney in FL) . Her grades are great and she made the honor role again.
As for Morgan, he is a little ham. He is going to head start and loves it. He is 3 1/2 now and growing so quick, he weighs about 35 pounds. He loves his kittys still and can make just about any of my bad days better.

well I guess that is about it for now, at least now I fel like you know what is gong on and why I've been gone so much. Hugs and prayers and love to you all.

It has been awhile since I have posted. I have been busy, between, home, family, football and cheer, and working my DS business's, I took on an office job. It is only part time and so far I like it, but I haven't had alot of time to post. I am still trying to book parties and do consultations for Affordable Mineral Makeup™ . Family has ben fairly healthy, and I'm decluttering the house as time permits. Football is going well, a little over a onth left and it will be done with. My 14yo's team still hasn't won a game, but they are getting stronger an holding the other team back more. We have homecoming this week with the game for him on Thursday and Varsity and the dance on Saturday. He is looking forward to it.

The littles are doing well. We won our game last Friday, and we had the happiest boys around. Our girls looked really good too. They have 2 games left before playoffs. If we win both they have good chance of going to the Snow bowl.

Our girls are great!! We found out that they have no compitition at locals, so they are going to regionals!!!!!!!! This is held in Santa Clara Ca. and should be a wonderful experience for them. We are doing all kinds of fundraisers to be able to send them. Right now it is a raffle and we have great prizes, if interested let me know.

Till later have a great night....

this past week

2008-09-21T17:54:00.000-07:00

Well our game was good, the 14yo had his bye week so they didn't win or loose. :) Our littles scored 3 TD!!!!!!!!! we were so happy, by score we lost but the pride the boys had from scoring was a win in my book! The girls got in on it to the more the boys score the louder and more proud they were.

This coming week the littles have there bye week and the 14yo is at an away game. THere is a chance they can win, we will see.

We will be doing another 2 fundraisers for the girls this week, we are trying really hard to get them in the gym and out of the cold for practices. I have a car wash planned for this coming weekend and "pads and poms". Hopefully between the 2 we will be inside coming Oct. 1st.

That is it for now....till later....

Friday games

2008-09-13T10:09:00.001-07:00

Friday was busy, running all over and trying to get out of town to make the littles game. They were 1 1/2 hours out of town so not really far but when you have to be there by 5 and they get out of school at 3 there is not alot of room to do anything else.

The 14 yo game started at 3 and was done by 5:30, he finally called and they lost. 40-17. a little better then last week but not alot. I still think the coaches and the players who do not show up for practice are to blame. But I was't able to be there to see what they did or didn't do.

The littles lost also, 25 -0. Not sure what went wrong or why. The team they played are always good so maybe we were just unprepared. Our girls weren't as loud as they could have been, and they did alot of talking that they shouldn't have been doing. They will be doing extra conditioning this week at practice for punishment.

And to end this blog here are a couple of pics of the littles.

Games this last week

2008-09-06T13:32:00.001-07:00

Freshman played Thursday 9-4-08 we lost 40-8 All the boys seemed defeated at half time. I felt really bad for them. I blame the coaches more then the boys. They were running plays the other team knew and would not go to a passing game until the last 8 minutes (which is where are 8 points came from. 1 TD and a 2 point conversion) By that time it was to late.
The littles game.... It as last night, And although we lost 26-0, the boys were trying. They were holding the line really well. (My son, nose guard, did not let any one he was against get through) They were playing an undeafeated team 2 years running. The team they were plying were also older/lighter kids that had more experence. They did do the best they could and they had fun even though they lost and that is what is important!!
The girls, Our cheer squad looked great!!! The were loud and knew what they were doing. The cheers matched up great to what the boys were trying to do one the field and everyone knew they were there. The other team had cheerleaders, I couldn't hear them until second half. Thet weren't as loud but they did good.
It was a good night of family fun and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Three Ways to STOP WORRYING about the "Recession"

2008-07-15T11:24:00.000-07:00

We are all hearing about it... everywhere we look. The news is posting scary thoughts about the impending recession.... gas prices seem to be the topic of the day... every day, no matter WHO you are talking to or listening to. Rest assured, I am feeling the "pain at the pump" just like everyone else in our country, but I think a bit of perspective will help us better navigate our new economy.
My marketing mentor, www.DanKennedy.com, is a man of pure genius. I mean, there is nothing commerce - related that this man doesn't study, learn and master. He is often referred to as the "Professor of Harsh Reality", but has directly influenced MORE first generation (i.e. no family inheritance) entrepreneur millionaires than anyone else in the world and I am thrilled to study under him. In his latest newsletter, he gave the following advice: "they've (most entrepreneurs) turned their thoughts to getting by with LESS until 'this recession blows over' as if it is a summer thunderstorm. It is not. it is a TRANSITION to a NEW economy, where there is MORE opportunity than ever. Different, but more." In my own business, I can see that he is absolutely right. Things are DIFFERENT. But as business owners, aren't we constantly changing, constantly adapting and being flexible? During this "economic transition", our success (YOURS and MINE) will be fully dependent on our taking BOLD action and being flexible with our attitudes, our beliefs and our actions. We can make this transition and profit in the process, OR we can stand still and be "gobbled up" by it. "Worrying" will keep you in STAND STILL and WAIT mode. So, here are some ways to stop worrying and start profiting!!

1) Stop watching the doom and gloom paraded on TV. Just because the news portrays something as fact, doesn't make it so. Sure, we are in a tough economy. But, this "doom and gloom" sells. I refuse to "buy it" because I KNOW that my mindset is equally as important as my marketing, or my strategic business plan, or even my products and services. So, I choose to look at the facts.
For some reason, the news is not reporting the FACT that there are MORE people with MORE discretionary income and affluence in our country than any other time in history. Why haven't they let us know that with the boomer generation's parents transfer (by inheritance) TRILLIONS of dollars that MORE wealth will be re-circulated than ever before. (Talk about one HECK of an economic stimulus package.) The AVERAGE American household's extra cash (discretionary income) is $24,335.00 for the year. There are many MORE facts that you will find if you turn off the "DOOM" and begin looking for facts. These facts were taken from "A Marketer's Guide to Discretionary Income" which is put out by the Consumer Research Center.
2) Look for good news! Last week, I featured one of my personal clients... running a luxury business and profiting GREATLY. Here is some more good news: Albeit the economy is "tough", we (the middle class) are still spending money on discretionary items or services. People are still sending their kids to private schools. Kids are still taking karate, piano, violin, ballet, and gymnastics lessons. The number of plastic surgery procedures continue to rise. People are still getting massages, having their nails done and spending small fortunes on their hair. We haven't disconnected our hot tubs to shave a few dollars off of our electric bill. Look around you. While we are complaining to one another about the cost of milk, we will (in the same breath) discuss a sale at Macy's or plan a night out.
There is MORE good news: Many entrepreneurs will FREEZE in this economy. Fear will overwhelm them and they will SAVE their way out of business. They will believe that they CAN NOT prosper and, while taking NO bold action, they will blame the economy. They will close their doors, thinking there was "nothing" they could do about it. They will go out of business REACTING to all they hear about the economy instead of CREATING solutions to profit NOW. Either option is open to all of us. If we DECIDE to profit NOW, we are in even better shape. Because the "herd" of entrepreneurs will be thinned as those hoping for easy answers and "don't make me think too hard" solutions are eliminated. The "Woman who WOWS" (and her male counterparts) will be poised to benefit greatly from this "thinning" of the competition. I am determined to help you navigate this transition... but you must keep thinking creatively, continue to be flexible, and be willing to invest in some BOLD action and serious thought! How will YOU reinvent your business so that you are HELPING the economy by making MORE money than ever?
3) Follow the piles of money! Matt Bacak is a public speaker who coaches others to speaking success. One rule he has always followed is to FOLLOW THE PILES OF MONEY. In other words, when determining a course of action, he would never look to someone in the SAME financial situation as him for advice. He will go where the MONEY is and ask THEM for advice. One of my own "sayings" is that BEHAVIORAL congruency will always equal RESULTS congruency. But only every time. In other words, if you want the RESULTS someone else is getting, DO what they DO. Follow the piles of money! Right now, the biggest PILES of money are being spent by the affluent. Instead of lowering your prices (again), how can you reach out to them?
You will see MANY changes in Women Who WOW over the next few weeks as I remain agile and committed to greater profit and success in ANY economy. First, I will be reaching out to the beginning (but committed) female entrepreneur - with a $37 per month option - because THIS under-served market is where I can make the MOST impact in the "masses" of women entrepreneurs. I am also beginning again to offer LIFE coaching services for the ultra-affluent mother. While my private coaching fees for women entrepreneurs continue to climb, I will incorporate affordable (and on-going) GROUP coaching options that are guaranteed to show results.

Something different

2008-06-27T17:29:00.000-07:00

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good,politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer.. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time..

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

If you agree, pass it on.
If you can read this - Thank a teacher!

Time again

2008-06-22T11:05:00.000-07:00

So we are gearing up for another football/cheer season. This year is a little different as we have our 14 year old getting ready for high school ball. There practices have already started and they are now 3 weeks into summer. (he has been doing it for a week now so he got a 14day summer) The littles just signed up a well and when we weighed them my 10yo was 7 pounds heavier then the 14yo. by the end of this season I hope the little one will loose a few pounds and the older one will put on weight. Not sure what fundraisers we will be doing or carwashes or other things that go along with high school ball. The littles will have some too I'm sure. This year I'm just going to be a mom and enjoy it. I will not be coaching and having the headaches. I'll post new pics when I can. I'm wanting to get some of first practices and such for the older one and w have until August for the little ones to start. Buteveryone is signed up and excited.

till later......

Long Time

2008-05-31T14:02:00.000-07:00

Hello, I have been so neglectful of this page. Everytime I think I'm about caught up something else happens and I forget. We are ending another school year and with that goes paperwork for the new year. This wouldn't be that bad but my 14yo is heading to high school, so there are freshman starter dates, and open houses and football tryouts and weight classes and.....I could go on and on. I think I have been to the high school more in the last 2 weeks then when I was going to high school. :)

The little ones have the concerts, and field days and field trips. The baby starts preschool in August also so I will have a couple of hours a day to myself and all of them in school. But with that there is more paperwork. :)

Along with high school come the new cell phone, and having many kids they all want one. So we have 3 new ones. (the baby doesn't get one) :) This I do think will be a blessing when football/cheer starts up again.

Yep the kids are all playing again. The one good this is the 14yo will be playing HS ball, and the 8 and 10 yo will be in the same division so I will make it to all there games.
As far as work goes I'm still doing it. I am cutting back on some of my companies as I'm not giving them the time they deserve. I will continue with Affordable Mineral Makeup™ and Avon, but I'm not sure of the others yet.

I am going to try to be around here more often, but I make no promises. School is out in 3 1/2 days. That should explain it. :)

I will try to get some new pics up and some new specials too.

Have a great day!

An Angel's look

2008-04-24T12:04:00.001-07:00

This spring-ready look is low on the makeup, but high on the radar. It's all about playing up the natural beauty of your face with touches of pearly shimmer.

Start with freshly washed and moisturized skin. Apply a neutral-colored shimmer eyeshadowin cream or beige. (such as Lust, wish, or shimmering Lilic) Sweep fingertips across the shadow in the pot, and pat it along cheekbones, up to temples and along browbones,sweepingfingertips in a "U" from inner cheeks to above the eyes.

Play up lashes with one coat ofmascara, and keep lips natural with a sheer gloss or lip balm.

Choosing foundation and consealer

2008-04-17T09:40:00.001-07:00

Foundation should only be applied to healthy, clean skin. Never test a color on the back of your hand to determine the right tone, a hand is typically a few shades darker than a jaw line. The perfect foundation shade will disappear when applied, and shouldn't be used to conceal blemishes. Instead, find a concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone and apply it in a blotting motion with a small make up brush. This technique ensures the concealer covers all three dimensions of a blemish, and doesn't just skim the surface like a sponge would.
