Product Review: Bright Spring Time Lips

As a member of Influenster I recently was able to review the new Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick. 

I was sent As You Want Victoria. 

Let me start off by saying that I have never been big into wearing bright colored lipstick because I have such huge lips. I was blessed in that department but I have yet to learn how to be confident with color on them. 

As bright and vivid as As You Want Victoria is - it didn't scare me too much. 

Thoughts??

I love how moisturizing and creamy this lipstick was. Unfortunately, though I probably wouldn't wear it too often because it comes off on everything. CT's lips, the straw, my teeth . . . everything. It sure looks pretty - but I feel like I would have to continuously keep having to reapply it because it won't stay on long. 

What are your favorite drugstore lipstick brands? 

Looking at these photos - I may start experimenting with colors more! 

My Life in Lists: If I had one MILLION dollars

This week I'm linking up with Marci - If These Walls Could Speak and Kelli - Team Gilbert for their new weekly link up - My Life in Lists. 

I dream about this daily - what would I do with a million dollars? 

How amazing would it be to come into a million dollars one day?  

I guess it would only be amazing if I came into it anonymously. 

With my million dollars this is how I would spend it: 

1. Pay off our STUDENT LOANS. 

We literally could afford a nice house in what we pay monthly for our student loans. 

The worst part about it all - I'm not even using my degree. 

 2. Build our dream home.

3. Be able to be a stay at home mom - Michelle Duggar style.

AKA have lots of babies and be able to afford them!

I would also want to be able to adopt 2 little mixed babies from the US too. 

  

4. Travel: 

Fiji

Hawaii 

Castles

5. Invest it so I can make millions more!! 

Week 25

How far along: 25 Weeks 

Food Comparison: Zucchini

Gender: Boy!! 

Weight gain: +14 lbs 

Maternity clothes: Some. I hate spending money on them so I've been on the lookout for stretchy dresses/skirts at places like Ross, Gordmans, TJMAXX, Forever21 - the discount stores! 

Stretch marks: Not yet. Praying they don't ever come.

Belly button in or out: Half in - half out. 

Sleep: So, so. I'm starting to get hot all the time (expect at work in my freezing cold building) but I'm mostly sleeping out of the covers. I wake up for the occasional potty break or if I'm hot. 

Best moment last week: Making more progress in the nursery. We officially have things hung on the wall (more to come) and I completed Kingston's crib sheet and skirt! 

CT wasn't really feeling the crib skirt because it 'clashes'.

What does he know?! The whole nursery has so many patterns which was what I was going for. I love it! 

Worst moment last week: TMI: My tummy gets upset way easy these days. And when it's upset there's no stopping it. Let me tell you - it's so sexy having to rush to the bathroom when I start to get the gurgles. Just keepin' it real. :)

Miss anything: Margarita's and being non-itchy. My skin was never sensitive until pregnancy. 

Movement: Yes. I love it! 

Cravings: Sour cream & wheat thins dipped in cinnamon applesauce! :)

Queasy or sick: No. 

Looking forward to: Only having a 3 day work week this week!

Prayer Request: This week Kingston really starts adding some fat to his little body. I pray that he looks just like his daddy in this department. 

Look at home sweet CT was as a babe. So brown and so chunky! 

Week 24

How far along: 24 Weeks 

Food Comparison: Corn

Gender: Boy!! 

Weight gain: +13 lbs 

Maternity clothes: Some. Thankfully most of my pre pregnancy clothes were the flow-y type tops that I can still pull off. I've also found tons of cheap maxi dresses at Forever21 ($10) that I'm belting and wearing the crap out of.

Stretch marks: No - not yet. Fingers crossed they stay away.

Belly button in or out: It's making it's way to an outie.  

Sleep: I sleep good until my 230a potty break and then I toss and turn the rest of the night. I then wake up with sore sides of my hips. It's getting brutal.

Best moment last week: Christian taking second in two of his NCAA brackets and third in one. $$ Cha-Ching $$  Money in the bank! 

Worst moment last week: realizing that EVERYTHING in pregnancy grows. Not just your belly and bobbies ... but everything. 

Miss anything: My pants buttoning.

Movement: Yes. I love it! 

Cravings: Sour cream. 

Queasy or sick: No. 

Looking forward to: Upcoming showers. We have quite a few on the calendar but I just got my first official invitation today. 

Prayer Request: This week I pray that Kingston continues to grow inside me until I'm well into my 3rd trimester. It's crazy to think that I've made it to the point in this pregnancy where I could have him and he could survive (with a lot of help). We have 16 more weeks little man - lets make the best of it!
