Makeup, Food, and Babies

I realize I haven't written on here in a long time.  So here goes nothing.... I moved from Portage to Griffith (about a 35 minute drive) to temporarily live with my dad while I wait for the apartment I want the next town over.  It brings me closer to my support system... since that is exactly what you need when you are

PREGNANT!! Yes, I am pregnant.  I am about 14 weeks along now, My due date has been pushed back to June 2nd.  I couldn't be more excited to embark on this path.  Now, I realize it won't be easy but it will be so worth it!  I'm trading in my baby (my eclipse) for a better suitable car for a child.  Probably a Toyota Corolla since they get great test crash ratings and great gas mileage.  Still driving about a half hour to 45 minutes to work for now but hopefully after baby is here I can switch jobs to something closer to home.

So big changes coming my way haha
-new car
-new place to live
-new ob/gyn

Obviously there is more but that is all I can think of now.  My brain has been running on hyper speed ever since I found out I was pregnant.  But! I have found a few things that I wanted to share with y'all!

I went out and bought the Naked pallet and absolutely love it! Since my old go to pallet had similar shades in it, I already have a go to way to do my make up.  But while perusing for a new way with my new pallet I found this gem and wanted to share it with you!  I tried it out today and just can't get over how much I love it!


I also will be making stuffed mushrooms just because I want to.  I found an awesome recipe, and can't wait to try it out.  Most people use cream cheese and onions and some even use bread crumbs.  However this recipe uses breakfast sausage and it just sounds delectable! You can find the recipe right here and trust me it is worth it!


Tell me these aren't just little gems! And since I love giving my readers little gifts, I have one more thing for y'all!  I have been having serious problems with my boobs since I got pregnant.  However I have found this little mixture that has been just wonderful to them (and helps with stretch marks too!). Since it is all natural, you can use it while breastfeeding.  It is very easy to make and is also cheap! How great is that, easy and cheap! 

It is made out of 2 parts coconut oil, 2 parts shea butter, and 1 part shredded beeswax.  You want to melt the coconut oil over medium heat in a sauce pan.  Then you add the shea butter until that melts completely, stir to mix it together.  Then add the beeswax until this melts.  The beeswax takes the longest to melt so have some patience.  Stir it very well and pour into your jar of choice to keep it in. Allow it to set for about 24 hours.  Then presto! Breastfeeding Boobie Balm cheaper than you can buy in the store! 

Alright, much love y'all and I will let you know how the mushrooms turn out and hopefully have more baby things for you too!
