Caster Oil For Eyelash & Eyebrow Growth

Hey dears. I recently started following on Youtube, if you haven't seen her videos she has amazing beauty hacks. One of her videos she talked about putting castor oil on you eyelashes & eyebrows. You have to make sure its Pure Cold Pressed too. So I found this one on trusty Amazon. This was almost half off for a price of $12.50. 

It comes with a 30ml bottle with dropper, 5 eye liner brushes, & 5 wands. After you've cleaned off all make up you dip a liner brush into the oil & apply along y our lash line, then you apply some onto a wand and run through you lashes & eye brows. Make sure you don't have to much of you want to where the oil is running into your eyes. Leave on over night & wash off the excess oil in the morning.

I've been using for about 4 days now & I won't lie and say they grew over night, however I do see a difference in them. I can tell they look healthier & my mascara goes on so much more smoothly. I find they fan out even more than normal & keep a natural curl that I did not have. I will do a post once I complete a whole month so we can get a true review!

6 Months | Bub

Hey dears. So it's been another 2 months & little man had his 6 month check up today! Everything is going well & let me tell you time is flying.

So just a little update on him in general... he eats baby food like it's going out of style, has rolled over a hand full of times, talks like there's no tomorrow, loves to watch TV in his walker,  has 2 teeth, & started sleeping in his own room.

The transition from a bassinet in our room to his crib in his room was fairly easy. After eating some baby food, having a bath, then usually drinking around 4 oz. of formula, he usually crashes fairly easy. He also took to baby food fairly quickly, it's like once the teeth came out the reflex to eat came with it & that baby can put away some baby food, along with mash potatoes. He also hates tummy time & his rolling over is in spite of him hating being on his stomach not that he really wanted to roll over, but they still count. The talking/squealing/screaming has increased quite a bit & it usually takes place at 1 am before he crashes again. Lastly he loves some TV, especially is it's while he's in his walker watching a old classic Disney movie.

Today at his pediatricians he got the necessary shots, weighs 14lbs 3oz, & is 24.25 inches long. He has a check up to repeat his hearing test coming up & that's just done because he was preemie. So fingers crossed that all goes well with that.  Other then that things are progressing well & he's doing well at keeping up with the other children his age considering he was early. To say they are quite please with how advanced he is being he was a preemie would be an understatement. So now we get to try to think is formula out some with less oatmeal, start with some table foods, & we will see them back at 9 months!

Threading

Hey dears. So I know this isn't something new & it's been around for a few years now, but I've recently decided to try threading, I'm sure most of you know what this is but if not its basically two cotton strings that the person moves a certain way to get rid of the hair. Many of my friends & co-workers thread their eye brows, so after a bit of chit chatting & asking a few questions, I was ready to give it a go. I mean I've pushed out a baby & do Brazilian waxing so I figured it couldn't be that bad.

My overall experience was pretty good. I basically just wanted to shape up & even my eyebrows. It literally took 5 minutes, didn't really hurt, & so much more convenient than plucking. Definitely will continue on with threading & will never pluck again.

Karma Bubble | Lush Review

Hey dears. It's not often that I use Lush's bubble bar but this is something I had decided to pick up. They describe it as "Good Karma is difficult to come by these days, so we created a bubble bar with a pine and patchouli fragrance so you can bathe in Karma whenever you need it. This sudser's heady scent comes from refreshing sweet orange, lemongrass and lavandin oils, as well as pine oil, which helps to clear the mind while also adding a fresh, green note. Buy two and you can share your good Karma with a friend."

Naughty Dog Love | Review

Hey dears. So a bit of a different post today, going to talk a little about my favorite video games. I have two favorite games Uncharted Series & The Last of Us, both are made my Naughty Dog. What I think draws me in is these games are not made like most games. They are captured by whats called Motion Capture or MoCap (pics below from both games). Basically the people portraying the characters put on this suits & act out the scenes while doing the voice recordings. All actions & reactions are genuine. To me it just makes the game seem more natural & realistic. Not to mention their graphics & scenery are just phenomenal, the story lines can take you on an emotional roller coaster, & you start to love the characters. 

Uncharted you follow a character of Nathan Drake through these insane adventures. It's kind of a mix between Indiana Jones & National Treasure.  They currently have 4 games out with a 5th coming out in August, a novel (Uncharted: The Fourth Labyrinth), Drakes Journal created by Drake himself Nolan North, a motion comic (Uncharted: Eye of Indra) & 6 comic books.

The Last of Us you follow Joel & Ellie through the trials & survival in a post apocalyptic world where you not only have to worry about runners, clickers, & bloaters but the crazy people who try to kill you. Currently there is 1 game out with a extra mini series called Left Behind that you can download and they recently announced a part II that will be coming out soon along with 4 comic books (The Last of Us: American Dreams). 

Both games have some of the same people who play different characters like Nolan North & Troy Baker, who each play amazing vital roles. Their natural humor can crack anyone up. If you a nerd like I am look up a few videos and watch them interact, the comedy & the chemistry between the cast is phenomenal. I have collected quite a few items from their collections & display them to the fullest.

Do you like to play videos games? What are some of your favorite games?

Happy 4th of July
