Transformers 2 Review and Other Stuff

I'm not going to tell you the whole entire story, but just parts of the movie that I enjoyed most.

In T2, they do swear a bit more than the first part. That's one of the first things i've noticed.

---------------------------

Megan Fox is still hot and Shia definitely grew up, body wise haha. The movie itself was probably 95% action. It was like they barely had any breaks inbetween to get any stories down, but I liked it that way because it kept me at the edge of my seat.

---------------------------

Decepticons, geez. There were so many of them, I kept on wondering why they're so much bigger and more in numbers. I wanted to see more Autobots! The only way I could tell the difference between the bots was if they were not colorful, they weren't good guys. LOL

----------------------------

My favorite parts? I guess I find sexual humor funny, :P Anyways I thought it was funny when the small decepticon started humping Megan's leg. haha... at first he was like ooh you're hot but you're not so smart. The other part was when the Sector 7 dude (forgot his name already) was reporting to the naval base and they asked where he was, and he looks at the huge bot that was destroying the pyramid, and you see two big dangling metal balls. LOL

---------------------------

Overall: If you like the first Transformers, you'll most likely enjoy this. The critics on Yahoo are harsh!

My favorite character in the movie. Just because he's good looking. Bumblebee is my other fave.
-------------------------

I grabbed these cuties at Claires today! I don't care if I look like a kid wearing these, HK forever! The little girl in me will always shine.
-----------------------

Anyways, if you don't hear from me anytime soon, it's because my little man will be here the lastest on Wednesday! At this rate i'm going to have to get induced. It's okay though, I want him here and i've had it with these shooting pains. <3<3<3

Bored? Check these out!

You might have seen these already, but they always give me a good laugh!

One of the main reasons why I will probably never live in Minnesota ever again! LOL




My all time favorite youtube video! *LOL*

Having A Bad Day?

Sometimes, you just have to make time for YOURSELF. Take a break from the world after a shitty day. The best way to stay young is to be cool and free.

-------------------------

Here's what I normally do to de-stressifffyyy myself.

-------------------------

-------------------------

I turn on Bob Marley because his music is CHILL. It's not too upbeat to where my blood pressure races up. His music makes me feel as if i'm in paradise. I love bob marley! (plus i can always sense a smell of coconut when i listen to his music haha)

-------------------------

After I get the music goin', I fill up the tub and use this luxury bubble bath from Bath and Body Works. Sensual Luxury Bath in Black Currant Vanilla. It has a sexy smell to it, not everyone likes the same fragrances, but this one relaxes me. I believe it's $16.50 for the jar but a bit of this goes a ways. You'll prob. get a better deal when they have their sales.

I definitely make sure to give my feet some treatment also! This is the only foot scrub that I have tried and you can find it at wal-mart. I should take better care of my feet but this does a good job and it's cheap.

-------------------------------

I put this on after the bath because it relaxes my face. The minty feeling in this cools down my face and I feel as if it is sucking out all of the stress from my face! haha

-------------------------

Then I slip into a very comfy nightie. Or I go naked, since I can anyways :P I get my nighties from everywhere, as long as they are comfy.

If my husband is around, I will usually have him rub this body cream on my feet. It works great! It's not greasy but feels buttery smooth. My favorite scent of this is obviously the mango mandarin.

You can't forget the lip treatment also!

----------------------------

Overall: Give yourself an hour at least. You deserve it! It will preserve your youth and spirit.

------------------------------

what do you do to de-stressifffyyyy yourself?

------------------------------

oh yeah, if you guys have any questions, always feel free to ask me! i'll try my best to answer them and get back to ya. <3 leslie

I Just Had to Post this Up

if you know any crazy gamers, you would understand why i find this so hilarious.

A Year Ago..

..i would have never guessed!

(this photo was taken in my studio when i had it with my beautiful guitar that i sold)

=========================

my life is changing, and will always keep changing. the most ironic thing about this all is, my husband and i tried to get me pregnant last year around this time but it didn't work, so we just thought that it wouldn't happen. shortly after he left to africa, i found out maybe a week later that i was pregnant. both of my sisters have a hard time conceiving, so i figured i might fit into that factor as well but boy was i wrong. ..but hey i'm the black sheep in the family anyways :P

=========================

what gave me a hint of thinking i was pregnant in the first place? i was eating pho that was pretty good and all of a sudden i had the urge to puke it all out. sad i know.
============================

i mean i'm sitting there on the toilet with the pregnancy stick in my hand and one bold stripe comes up and another stripe comes up that is half fainted. my eyes open up huge and i'm like WHAT THE?? for those of you who haven't had the pregnancy scare or test, 2 stripes equals pregnant lol. i call my sister in law and she tells me to get a digital one, so i run to wal-mart and get a pack of 2 in case. ..and before you know it, it's confirmed and i snap a picture of it and send it to the hubs. he definitely was shocked, he actually didn't believe i was pregnant until we were at the clinic and the nurse confirmed it. haha..he's silly i know (that gaytard!)

===============================

i just wanted to blog about this. i can't sleep and i need to find things to get my mind off of this baby! he doesn't seem to want to come out, but..i will let nature take it's course until the 30th which is my induction date.

==================================

oh yes, i just wanted to thank all the lovely ladies who always leave me sweet comments!

The Wonder Hanger

You've most likely seen this on the As Seen On Tv ads. ..and it's wonderful!

=============================

I bought this from an As Seen On Tv store in my mall for $12. It comes with a pack of 8 which you might find it as a good amount. Plus this is prob. the only a.s.o.t. product that has worked ever! haha

Just some of my dresses on the wonder hangers.

========================================

This is great if you share a closet or have just a butt-load of clothes!

========================================

What do I love about this? It definitely makes my closet look more clean instead of a bunch of squished outfits. You can also take one of the ends of the wonder hanger and hang it down to give yourself more space in your closet. I didn't do that because I have plastic drawers underneath my hanging clothes. I did hang down the clothes that I don't wear as much and put them off to the side. My husband walks into the closet and says, "did you do laundry or something?" lol ..no silly it's the wonder hanger!

Cheap Duo/Skunk brush find! checckkk it.

*this photo is not mine but i wanted to post this because i love duo fibre brushes!

REVIEW HERE!

I love fibre brushes because every since I discovered applying foundation with them makes it so much easier, i've started searching for a bunch of them. I love them for all purposes really. You can find this brush at Target, you know those studio tool brushes that are usually near the beauty tools section. I have yet to get one myself, I saw it but then I didn't know how it would work, but then I saw the review on makeupalley and now i've gotta go! It's $6 which is cheaper than the sonia kashuk one!

How I "do" my BROWS =)

My cousin once said to me that she believes the key to a woman's beauty are her eyebrows.

I used to never pluck/fill in my brows and man were they bushy and very fobby looking. But now I pluck them and clean them up whenever it gets messy because it can really give make a difference. When I don't clean up my brows, my eyes start to look tired and small, but I noticed that when I tweeze and shape them, they definitely bring life to my face.
////////////////////////////////////////////

1. naked brow, i just tweezed them and there's still some thin hairs around! i've been looking for a good home wax kit. we'll see.

2. i start by filling in the ends of my brows because usally that lets me test to see if my powder is too dark or not :P but filling in at the ends is usually a start for most girls too.

3. with my eyebrow brush outline my brows from the beginning and to where it meets up with the ends.

4. lastly, i fill in the rest and blend it in to make sure the lines don't look too harsh.
////////////////////////////////////////////

I use the Ardell powder. You can find this at walgreens or cvs, this one came in an kit with arch stencils. Usually I dip my eyebrow brush into the second and third color. i usually use the first color underneath my brows to neutralize it, that's why there's so much of it gone! :)

///////////////////////////////////////////

A few tips when tweezing:
///////////////////////////////////////////

1. Sanitize your tweezer. Oils from before can cause breakouts! (i've learned plenty of times)

2. After you are done tweezing, put toner onto a cotton ball to wipe up the mess and close up some pores :) Or simply cold water on a cotton ball if you don't want to use toner.

3. Let your brows rest and get the redness out before applying moisturizer or anything.

Do you have FRUIT FLIES in your house?

I know a lot of people hate fruit flies, who doesn't right?

///////////////////

Our place has fruit flies and it's annoying!

///////////////////

Anyways here is a quick and effective way to kill them.

///////////////////

What you will need:

///////////////////

**Rice wine vinegar

**Water

**A small drop of dish soap

**Bowl you don't use often

///////////////////

In the bowl, pour a good amount of any kind of rice wine vinegar, add a small drop of dish soap, and mix in a small amount of water to dissolve the dish soap. Leave the bowl where you see the flies most, and within time you will see a bunch of them in the bowl that drowned themselves in there!

///////////////////

I have tried it and I LOVE counting how many have drowned in there. MUAHAHHA evil i don't care!

Not just "any" cupcake!

German chocolate super moist cupcake with whipped milk chocolate frosting and decorative snowflakes...

////////////////////////////

...with NUTELLA filling!!!!!!

//////////////////////////////

lol. most of the lovely ladies said they love to eat nutella with their crepes/waffles/pancakes..but Lulu mentioned something about dropping some nutella inside the middle of the cupcakes and having it taste like hot lava cake! OOOH yes it does, even better. thanks again ladies!

///////////////////////////////

i can assure you that these cupcakes will be done soon. i've had a few of them already, i'm indulging as much as i can before i give birth because i'm so going back to my health nut ways afterwards. i had my cervix checked this morning and they said that i am 3cm dilate on the outside but they couldn't reach it any further. i am so anxious/nervous. we'll see what will happen. bye for now! <3

Sonia Kashuk Dual Coverage Powder + Nutella

My first SK product letdown. BOOHOO.

//////////////////////////////

I really wanted to just look for something quick to swipe on my face for my lazy-ass days esp. being pregnant and soon to be mom, babies will get to you. I remember when I took care of my nephew when he was 1 years old running around, waking up super early in the morning. He'd come knock on my door and want me to feed him or play with him, so i'd have to quickly put my face on for the day. (i mean quickly, my nephew is a hyped up little kid that causes trouble every second)

/////////////////////////////

Anyways, I found this at target and since it said "Dual Coverage", I was like hrmm okay. I have been happy with the products that I have tried from her, esp. her brushes too. I didn't think..this would let me down.

See that slightly lighter shade on my backhand? That's the powder.

/////////////////////////////

Okay honestly, this is more of a setting powder, not a foundation! It really doesn't even stick onto your face unless you have a good oily moisturizer on. I tried this using a buffer brush, fluffy brush, applying it wet (which looked super cakey), and no good results.

/////////////////////////////

However, I did try it on top of my revlon/mac sff today and it definitely did set the foundation well!

/////////////////////////////

So SK, you should probably change this products title having something with Setting Powder in the name.
/////////////////////////////

Nutella, has anyone else tried this? I like it, not love it. I know in other countries they eat this with a lot of stuff. It reminds me of peanut butter chocolate, but I know this has hazelnuts in it.
/////////////////////////////

I have yet to try it on other things, i've only tried it on toast and it was pretty good, but I think I need something more solid to eat with this stuff.
/////////////////////////////

If you are a chocolate lover, you'll most likely love this stuff. :)

/////////////////////////////

If you guys have any recipe suggestions, holla! lol

Current "Nails" Look and Revlon Colorstay review

Went to the BX today and grabbed these two. I guess i've got PURPLE fever! :P

(Vicks in the background because my nose has been stuffy lately)

My attempt for gradient nails.

I really could have done a better job but I am impatient when it comes to nails!

///////////////////////////////////////////

Lately I have been super lazy to put on makeup because I am huge and ready for my baby to come out! I've been trying to do as much walking as I can so he can drop and make his way into this world, but I know that he will come out when he wants to. The doctors are going to talk about inducing me next week if things are moving too slow. Maybe baby wants to come out on daddy's birthday which is on the 15th!

Revlon Colorstay for oily/combo skin review!

///////////////////////////

i'm reviewing this because i did have a few girls ask me about this and i personally think this is a great product for the summer!

//////////////////////////

Pros: can withstand heat

long wearing

it really does stay on for hours!

great coverage

affordable

//////////////////////////

Cons: hard to take remove

smell can be annoying

bottle does not come with a pump

/////////////////////////

My experience: I use this whenever I know i'm going out for a long time. I live in sunny florida and the weather here in the summer time can seriously melt all of my makeup off lol. BUT with this foundation, I have found it to stay even after jogging in the humid! I mean I was sweating like crazy, and after I got into the car I checked the mirror and was like WHAT? IT'S STILL ON MY FACE! I even patted my nose and nothing came off. I tell my friends that this stuff is sorta like paint lol.

/////////////////////////

I suggest: to always wear a primer when wearing this. This stuff is oil-free but it is hard to remove. I'll most likely break out if I do not wear a primer when wearing this. Also, I use a stippling brush when applying this. It makes it look airbrushed and makes me feel like i'm not pounding on a ton of liquid paint onto my face! The best stuff I have found to remove this off my face is Philosphy's Purity cleanser. You can prob. use other makeup removers, but I use the purity cleanser specifically to remove this off my face.

///////////////////////////

P.S. THANK YOU ALL WHO COMMENTED ME ABOUT MY WEBSITE! it's so sweet to have such lovely supporters out there. love ya!

HG Foundation TAG!

I was tagged by Chomfifi to tell about my HG foundation.

\\\\\\\\\\

I use Mac's Studio Fix fluid in NC42 and mix it with a bit of Revlon Colorstay for oily/combo skin in Golden beige. One is too dark and one is too light so both of them put together makes my skin color! :P

\\\\\\\\\\

I'm going to finish up my NC42 bottle and just stick with colorstay. I find them both really similar except colorstay is cheaper! I use my ulta highlighter brush to apply it because it gives me an airbrushed look and I don't have to use much of the foundation either. When I used my blending sponge, it felt really heavy on my face but the highlighter brush takes half the time and less heavy.

\\\\\\\\\\\

btw chom, i got a zit on my face yesterday already. :( it's going away though.

I also have created a bunch of comments/graphics signs and icons.

You can check it out here at: http://www.happyprofile.com/

Just a few samples! :P

Twilight Photoshopped + hair care worth trying!!

I was inpsired to do this after DSK's version! I have read all 4 books and I plan on collecting the t-shirts eventually. I know it's teen-ish but like I care. I once got into an argument with someone because they said I was too old for Hello Kitty! grr. *whatever*

My favorite character from Twilight? ALICE!! she's the biggest sweetheart ever and in the end she proves to be the smartest in my opinion.

You can find these babies at Sally's. The shampoo if $5/conditioner $6 with the Sally's card. Each bottle lasts me about a month and a half or so. My real hair stops right at my collarbones.

Product Description:
Gently cleanse & clears away residue
Fortified with ceramide, silicone and UVA/UVB filters
Helps prolong color-retention and emphasize the vibrancy of your color
Seals the cuticle, locking the color deep inside and creating shine

Overall rating: 5 *'s out of 5

Price: 5 out of 5

Product deliver: 5 out of 5

Pros: Affordable

Makes color last longer

Adds moisture to hair

Feels good when you lather

Gives excellent shine to hair

Cons: smell might be a bit strong for some

they need to sell bigger bottles!

My experience: I am in looove with these. I have had some pretty bad experiences with hair products not delivering what they're supposed to. I used to use Suave professionals but I found that they wore out my color fast.

I remember the first time I tried the shampoo I was like WOW! It feels great on my head. LOL. After I rinsed out the shampoo my hair did not feel squeaky dry clean, which is a good thing because I could tell it was holding my natural moisture in it. The conditioner works as well as the shampoo, it doesn't make my hair greasy and when my hair dries, it's super soft.

I have gone through 3 bottles of the shampoo already! Definitely worth a try!

OOOH YEAHHH i forgot. I want to thank all you super cute gals that gave me awards. I definitely appreciate all of them and don't get offended if I don't repost the awards. It's more out of laziness really. (lol) I would nominate everyone on my list if I could too. and welcome new followers/readers!

What made my Day. Love.

Not that many people know the story of how my husband and I. It's a long story but I can sum it up by saying we were long distance AND my family did not approve of him. He lived in florida at the time and I lived in minnesota. I remember the first time I ever came to visit him I seriously fell in love with florida and HIM.

Today we went to eat at the Asian King Buffet and we had not been there for a super long time. Then I said to my husband while we were eating, "hey, you took me here that night i ranaway to be with you", and he says, "no, you didn't runaway, you were just coming home." My heart melted. <3>

..and to satisfy your curious minds, yes i left everything behind to follow my hhhh-eart. :) i don't regret a single day. it's just hard doing long distance when your heart is half way across the world or 2000 miles away from you.

Yes To Carrots LIP TINTS! and chapsticks..

I picked this 3-pack up at Target for $4.99 :) One of these alone usually costs that much but they were givin' me a good deal so I wanted to try it out.

They remind of of Burt's Bees shimmer lip balms BUT I think I prefer these more. It claims to be 95% organic, but what do I care? lol..just being honest.

They have a subtle shimmer, not overly done. The flash just exaggerated the shimmers but there is just a tiny hint of color in each lip balm.

Texture you wonder? The reason why I prefer these more over the burt's bees is because these glide on smooth and I don't feel like i'm applying a bunch of glitter on my lips.

There is a subtle mint smell and feel to these. I don't like feeling as if my lips are always numb or have that tingling feeling to it. To my surprise, I wore the cotton candy one before I went to bed and woke up with non-chapped lips!

Would I buy this again? Yes I would. BUT because I love trying new balms/chapsticks all the time I think these are gonna hve to wait a while before I come back to them again (hey i have 3 of them as of now anyways!)

My other chapsticks I have lying around. Strawberry Carmex with SPF 15 in it and Nivea's Kiss of Moisture with SPF 4.

I'm not one to care much about having SPF on my lips (i know i know) but for some reason these 2 just have em'.

Nivea's Kiss of moisture..sucks. haha, I say that because I find that I have to reapply within a short amount of time and it really does nothing to my lips except make it feel moisturized for like 10 minutes.

Carmex in Strawberry does an awesome job at keeping my lips moisturized, esp. when i'm sleeping. (this is great for those of you who like to breathe through your mouth when you sleep). The only thing I don't like about this is the numbing feeling it gives me.

Update: Walgreen's Alpha Hydroxy Face Cream

I posted a pre-review on this earlier about a month ago or so and here are the results so far.

I have definitely noticed lightening in my scars. It's not dramatic but it is noticeable! My acne scars were very dark and pigmented, but after being faithful to this cream, it's showing better result.

This does not leave my face shiny or an oil slick, my skin just absorbs it all right in. If you plan on wearing this under your makeup, you should wear moisturizer with SPF or some sort of sunblock protection, since alpha hydrox is known to make skin more sensitive to the sun.

Another thing I have noticed is that the fine lines on my forehead have reduced and smoothed out. For $6 this will definitely last a long time and it works for me!

How do I use this?

Well I want the full effect on this so after cleansing my face, I make sure to exfoliate with my St.Ive's apricot scrub, tone, then massage this cream onto my face with both hands. I also apply this onto my neck and I have definitely noticed the lines on my neck smooth out.

What are the cons to this?

You might feel tingling or stinging but it says it on the label that it's going to happen. (i personally don't mind it)

The smell - it smells a bit like vinegar

Another cool thing about this?

I've read reviews where women say they put this on their feet and areas where they feel needs exfoliation or smoothness. I have not tried it anywhere else but on my face and neck, and i've seen some improvement on my neck.
