My Beauty Routine

I think everyone's beauty routine is different. We all cater to our specific needs, and pay attention to areas that need a little extra TLC. I'd like to think my beauty routine is not very complicated, but I do love playing around with makeup...even though I get stuck in a rut sometimes and use the same eyeshadow nearly every day! My routine changes from work to weekend, so I will tell you about my "weekend" look. I will try to keep this post as brief as possible.

After my shower, I usually dry my hair and then get to work on my makeup. I always start by defining my eyebrows. I use Jordana's brow pencil FabUBrow. My shade is dark brown. Next, I will apply my Coastal Scents Step One eyeshadow primer. I place that from my lid to browbone. Next, a product I can NEVER be without is Jordana's 12 hour Made to last eyeshadow pencil. I use the shade continuous almond, and it is matte flesh tone color. It is tacky and makes shadow stick to it. (I just learned that they are discontinuing this product, so I ordered 4 as backups. One pencil usually lasts me over a year, so I should be good to go!) I just draw all over my lid and blend the eyeshadow pencil

Then, depending on what I am wearing I choose my eyeshadow! Sometimes, I will go with a matte shadow using my Meet Matt(e) Nude palette, or I will choose to use my Naked 2 palette. Oftentimes, I will use Wet N Wild Brulee eyeshadow all over my lid and browbone, then use a matte brown in my crease.

To line my lids I use Jordana's eyeshadow pencil in brown, and then use Chella's highlighter pencil on the corners of my lids to give them an extra pop! I curl my lashes, and apply CoverGirl's Lash Blast volume on my lashes. I also love Mally's Volumizing mascara!! On my lower lashes I use Clinique Bottom Lash mascara.

If I am going somewhere that requires foundation, I will use Mary Kay mineral makeup. If not, I just leave my face breathe!

To complete my beauty routine, I decide on what I am going to do with my hair, finish off my hair, and I am out the door!

I hope that this wasn't too long!! I am constantly adding items to my "must try and buy" list, so I can't wait to see the products that you all use!! Leave me a comment and tell me one product you can't live without!

Thanks, Andrea for the fun link up today!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness! In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

It's Been Awhile...

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough. I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here! I...

YouTube-a-palooza

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!* :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show! You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6, parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!" He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...
