It is Almost That Time

Start saving your money because it is almost that time! My grandma always had the big Sears catalog book for all of us grandkids. I loved looking through each page skipping over the ugly boy toys. Usually whatever was pink I wanted. I was and still am a girly girl. Now I shop for boy toys and here are what my boys are wanting.

Logan is easy because he is still my little boy. He just wants toys! Army toys are his favorite.

Blaine is more grown up. Here are a couple things he wants

DIY Donuts

Super easy donuts.

Ingredients

2 cans Pillsbury canned biscuits.

Vegetable oil

Powdered sugar

Milk

I dont really measure anything. Just put some oil in a med size sauce pan. Heat the oil until it looks hot. Make a hole in your biscuit and drop into oil. You want it to look a golden brown color on both sides. Once browned put donut on paper towels. To make icing use about a cup of powdered sugar with about a tablespoon of milk. You can make it how you want really. Dip your donuts in the icing and your done.

Foundation Review

My poor face has pregnancy mask. I hate it and feel so ugly with it. The problem is with breastfeeding I can not use any skin care products. So the next best thing is to cover it up with makeup. I was determined to find a foundation that would cover but not look thick. Mac foundation that I tried did not cover the brown spots any better then my Covergirl foundation. I tried a lot on that day and the only one that covered was Kat Von D Lockit Tattoo Foundation. I have been using it for a couple of weeks now. My opinion is it is perfect. It doesn't feel "tacky" or "cakey" it just looks flawless. A little goes a long way so my bottle should last a long time. I got mine at Sephora for $34.
