New Born Photos

There is something about photos that tell a story to me and tell me so much. I love everything about photos.

At one point in my life I actually wanted to do photography because I am so in love with photos. I decided not to continue down that path because I really hate how tedious editing is!

One of the families that I nanny for just had a baby. And they asked me to come up to their house and take some photos of their newest addition to their family, I was completely honored!! BUT MOST OF ALL, quite nervous. I had thoughts like " I am no professional." "Why would they ask me?" "Im sure the pictures I take wont turn out, they are just wasting their time by asking me."

So like any normal girl in this world, I got on Pinterest and started researching new born photos to get ideas. And we all know that Pinterest is a LIFE SAVER!

So I got great ideas from Pinterest and here is one of the ideas that I decided to do, make a crown.



Go to Walmart and buy any kind of lace ribbon. Make sure that one side has points and the other side is flat.

Since the crown is for a new born, it of course needs to be small. Cut a piece of ribbon to 10.5 inches.

Next I bought a small bottle of "gold" spray paint and sprayed the front side of the crown. I waited for the crown to dry and spray painted the back side of the crown.

After both sides of the crown dried I sprayed stuff called "Stiffen Quick". This makes the crown stand without it being flimsy. I think it is pretty much glue and water.

I then got a Solo cup and put the crown around it so that it would be round when it hardened. After the crown hardened, I applied a small dab of glue to the crown to  hold it together.

I let the crown sit around the Solo cup over night, and the next day took this picture!!!

P.S. Everything can be found at Walmart!! Goodluck, Happy picture taking!!

How To Get Rid Of Dark Circles Under Your Eyes

I'm all about trying new beauty products. I don't know what it is about make up but I'm a complete sucker for new makeup and trying out new brands. I came across this brand from a makeup artist on Instagram who does Chalene Johnsons makeup. I saw picture of Chalene and she looked FLAWLESS but figured, Chalene is a celebrity, I'm sure she spent a ton of money on her makeup to have it look that great. I found out the makeup was called "It Cosmetics".

I tried to forget about the "It Cosmetics" makeup that Chalene used until my boyfriends sister went out and bought "It Cosmetics" makeup and told me that I needed to try this "It Cosmetics" makeup called "Bye Bye Undereye" from Ulta. I almost popped my pants when I found out the same makeup that celebrities wear was right at Ulta!! I was using a "Nars" concealer and a "Smashbox" concealer, both from Sephora and neither were doing the trick. When I first applied both the Nars and Smashbox concealer, my makeup looked great but as the day went on my makeup wore away! And for the dark cycles I have, I can't have my makeup wearing away-- I would look like a zombie! 

Zombie face in full effect! 

So I bought this: Bye Bye Undereye that looks like this. I wanted to try it out for myself.

Pretty much amazingness in a tube!!! 

It's actually pretty big and a little bit goes a long ways

The consistency is kinda sticky. So I apply the "Bye Bye Undereye" first and then apply the rest of my makeup and seal my makeup with a powder. After you apply the powder you undereyes aren't sticky anymore!

I also decided that if it worked for my dark circles, it must work for zits and blemishes-- sure enough it does!
I swear this stuff has a secret ingredient





I know I look gross in these photos, I was in a hurry this morning when I was doing my "makeup". When I actually do my make up completely, it looks way better. Here is what I look like when Im fully ready and dont look like a wet dog!

Dreamers & Doers

For anyone that has looked at my blog before now, you can see that my blog got a little makeover recently!!! Wooohooo because I love its new makeover!!! My blog has also gotten a new name. The reason for both of these changes is 1. I wanted a blog that was more professional. I felt like my blog before wasn't up to par, it wasn't representing ME. And 2. The reason for the name change... I have always been a dreamer, I still am, but the difference between how I used to dream was that I thought those dreams would never come true. Now when I dream, I know that I will eventually turn that DREAM into a reality. I will do what I set out to DO.

So with that being said... I have been given an amazing opportunity Beachbody to be a Beachbody Coach. I get to help other people reach their health and fitness goals, while also reaching mine. I get to make amazing life long friends with like minded people. I get paid to help other people, while I work from home.

I have talked to quite a few people lately that tell me, I make enough money and I like my job, so I have a dream job. WRONG!!! Do you really think you have a DREAM JOB? Do you get to take off whenever you want for however long you want? Do you answer to you boss everyday? If you just answered that you have to check in with your boss everyday, you don't have the dream job! You don't have the freedom to do what you want. How can you enjoy life and experience new things with one weeks worth of vacation a year?

This past week I did a lot of thinking... Long story short about my job, I love the families I work for but working for them isn't my dream job. I love making connections with the families and how well they treat and take care of me but I want to help more people, and reach more people. I know what I want in my DREAM JOB, I want to control how much money I make, I want to choose when I can take off, I want to know that what I am doing is helping other people and that I am making an impact on their life, I want to be my own boss and NOT have to listen to someone else telling me what to do. 

So my point of changing up my blog and making my new blog name Dreamers & Doers is because I've decided to change my life and not just Dream of my DREAM JOB, but to DREAM and DO my DREAM JOB. 

Happy Labor Day!
