Yesterday was that day. It was the first day of my weekend, so I didn't have to be up by 6:30. I was actually awake and didn't need to lay in bed forever before getting up. I cleaned my apartment first thing in the morning, along with Mr. Timber's home. (Yes, we got the kids a new pet. A super hairy and super sweet little guinea pig. We decided to name him Timber because he likes to jump/fall off of things, like his little table home at his old house and our ottoman. He is very friendly and very good with the kids so far - as long as they're not too noisy or jumping around).
I've been wanting to cut Ari's hair for about a month now. I was hesitant about doing it myself, or taking her to get it done by a professional. After watching a few YouTube videos I figured it looked easy enough for me to do. Guess what, it was! And on the plus side, it took me less than 20 minutes to do. So, I am pretty proud of myself!
I love that I am going back to school. I also love that I was eligible for grants, so I don't have to pay for it, and I got a small amount back.
So, I have been using and love E.L.F. Cosmetic's line of the mineral makeup. No, of course the quality is not as good as Bare Minerals. The price is not nearly as high either. The foundation and concealer are both only $5 each. The only downside is that it can only be ordered online and it comes all the way from New York. Usually shipping takes only about a week. It took nearly 2 weeks to get here this time, due to high orders and bad weather. I'm just glad that it finally came in when it did because I am completely out of what I had. Getting packages in the mail is always fun!
And, since I've been keeping track of what I eat...
