My Guilty Pleasures in Life

HA! as my husband thinks I watch TV all day. LOL...yea he's nuts. But I do have my guilty pleasures of VH1 reality, and a few shows in general.

• Rock of Love Bus - ok, i'm sad to admit I watch this religiously and watched it for the last three seasons. It's funny, b/c somehow you can get the skankiest girls around and put them ALL on a reality show. My favorite has got to be this season, b/c you got a girl who is SOOOOO freaking proud of being the Penthouse Pet of the Year. one long word....EWWWWWWWWWWWWW! that's just not something to be proud of. I'm sorry. Playboy..YES..Penthouse NO! It's like the white trash version of Playhouse. Get this, the girl is NOT pretty either. I'm not gorgeous, I'll be the first to say it, but she ain't cute. I'm rooting for crap..forgot her name. the really cute one! The southern cute girl! yea her! but do I think she can handle his lifestyle..not so much. AND...I cringe everytime he kisses a girl. I mean he's been around the block or 5, so who knows where his mouth has been. Literally.

• Tough Love - the newest reality show from Vh1 so far. It's about a matchmaker giving tough love to women who is desperate for love. Pretty much saying what guys want to say to their face, but he does the job for you. They have this one girl named Taylor (forgive me if i'm wrong), who is that "over dressed man eater kinda girl...also a gold digger". Everyone in their life knows that girl, if you don't know that girl, your probably that girl. I didn't watch it this past week, so don't spoil the fun for me. I don't think she'll be on the show much longer.

• Jon and Kate Plus 8 - I'm addicted.....for a long time. Love them! Kate is kinda bitchy, but man who wouldn't be if you are taking care of 8 kids. C'mon. Jon has got to be the sweetest person in the world. Ok..if you look at them two..that's me and my husband. yes i'm the bitchy wife, and he's the laid back dad. the kids are soo damn cute, but I love my two kids I have and not ready for another one anytime soon. I'm kinda sad to see this show go to an end, but I think right now for them it is. I love watching the kids grow up, but their marriage comes first. The season finale put that all into perspective.

• Grey's Anatomy - I've been addicted since episode 1. Can I say something, I love this show. I put my kids schedule on Thursday for this show. How sad am I? I'm finally happy to say Meredith and Derek are finally engaged. I'm pissed about the whole Alex and (damn forgot her name) story with the cancer. the ONE time they give it a chance, something like this happens. give that couple a break!!!!
• Private Practice - LOVE LOVE LOVE! I love Addison. Need to watch the rest of the show from Thursday night hello..you have Taye Diggs in this show. OMG he's soo nice to look at.
• Sober House - yet it's over, but loved it!
• I can't get into Love for Ray J (ewww he peed on Kim K.....why would you want to date someone like that....not my cup of tea there), and I love Money (NO...but HELL NO), also American Idol and America's First Top Model (tyra annoys the #*(& out of me!)
• Anything on the Food Network - I can talk about every single chef..maybe I should do that one blog also. :D
• I had more, but they were all done before I wrote this blog. Tool Academy..HA!, Sober House

alright, I've pretty much talked your head off. Alright.......next blog will be about a video..I promise!

just a little update!

I don't know if anyone reads this just to read this. I hope ya'll do, and ya'll should. I will definately update this more often. :D

First of all, I want to apologize about not doing the weekly series video. I did it on Friday, and I lost it when I was trying to edit it!!!!! So I did it, but lost it. I will do one this week, well tomorrow actually. so look forward to it.

I want to say I have a new love. Lush cosmetics products. http://www.lush.com I found out we had one in the mall yesterday while Mason and I had our mommy-daughter day. Let me say, that was fun all together but yet frustrating. I have to find silver shoes for my cousin's wedding. Yet I haven't seen the dress, so I can't exactly buy the shoes yet. They had a pair of shoes I fell for, but guess what, they had a 3 inch heel. I never wear heels, so I would die standing during the wedding.

I am making a Mark order within the next week. I should be doing a video on that when the box comes in. I love doing those, it's fun. We have a bunch of cool new products coming out next month, but I'm only buying a few so show ya'll. and crap I need to update that website as well. I have too much on my plate I think.

I should do a guilty pleasure blog post now. like TV shows I'm afraid to admit I watch and do reviews on the show. just keep ya'll reading. yea good plan! yet forgot to set my DVR to a few of them.

You people should also follow me on twitter!!!!! I keep everyone updated on that. so if I can't make a video or if I made a post on here, you would be the 2nd person to know. the 1st person to know would be myself. ok that was stupid.......

alright, I hope ya'll have a good day!

Interactive Stuttering Series #1

You are probably watching the video right now, or just reading this.

So the question is....

Do you remember what age/grade you were in when you noticed that you stuttered or didn't talk like everyone else? Do you remember what situation it was?


My answer is...

I think every stutterer can answer this question. I was in 2nd grade (so maybe 7 years old). Remember in elementary school, where the teacher would have the students read a paragraph each of a story, or of a page. Well I was reading, and realized some of the other students was helping me. That's when I realized "hey, I don't talk like everyone else". But I never got picked on, well to my face at least. I had a lot of friends until I switched schools to a private school. I think that's when I started isolating myself and being shy. I wasn't shy until I was accepted as the normal rich kid private school student. It was never because of my stuttering. I don't kjnow what the other kids were doing behind my back, and guess what I don't care. :D

I think my stutter is now a blessing. I get to do youtube videos and let other stutterers realize they are not alone. I was alone for the longest time b/c I knew of no one that stuttered, until I met Mitch. and no he isn't my husband. He was my college professor that stuttered. I got the courage to make videos on YouTube, and to me that's the best decision I have made. Well, I would write more, but I have a screaming kid in my ear.

I want to hear other experiences and stories from my viewers. GIMME!!! :D

Interactive Video Intro

Hi everyone! I just thought of this idea, and I hope ya'll will too.

I will start a video series that I ask and answer a question, and you (the viewers) answer the question. You can answer the question via video response on youtube, comments via youtube or on this blog itself. I want to be more interactive with my viewers.

so to go with this video, you can post some questions that we can do this series with. No comments will be moderated, so if anyone decides to be mean (i will stand up for myself and the stuttering community)

I will post the video between Wednesday - Friday of each week. If I don't post it by Friday, it will be posted on Saturday. I will try my best to get this done each week.


I want to thank everyone who told me this was a good idea, and thank the viewers in advance for doing this.

Mark Haul and Reviews

wow I have a lot to talk about in 10 minutes, but I'll elaborate on some things that I couldn't put in a video on here.


Yes, I did edit some stutter parts out for the fact of TIME!!!! I'm not cool enough to go over 10 minutes yet.....

You can check the New items on my Mark page :

So here are some swatches of Rebel Rose Quad:






top to bottom: Rebel, Saucy, Corset, and Luvstruck (jj was sleeping on my arm before I took that picture)

The Bag: kinda big, but I like it!!! cute cute!! my laptop and lime lavender make an appearancethe inside of the bag and my foot

my reviews now:

Rebel Rose Quad

• Luvstruck - a very pigmented bright pink. (a permanent color of Mark)
• Saucy - a dark deep purple with a little shimmer...would be a beautiful crease color
• Corset - (a permanent color of Mark) I love a sparkly black. so I can't wait to use this
• Rebel - perfect highlight color

wait for tutorials :D

I did lime lavender review in the blog before....

Slouchy Satchel - LOVE this. it's huge, perfect for a mommy if you don't want to use your diaper bag. If you carry a lot of crap, also perfect for you too. I can also carry my netbook in this purse.

Get Bright Hook up Highlighter - I'm a sucker for highlighters for some reason. I like this, b/c it gives you a natural shimmer w/o looking like you are wearing a highlighter. that kinda bugs me. sometimes it looks good, but not on a natural look. I love this. I would try the darker one for a contour, but it has shimmer. that's bad!!!

Good Riddance Concealer Hook-up - looove this product. it's more of a concealer than the regular one Mark already carries. this one is lighter than your skin tone, which it should be to cover up dark circles and redness. The regular one is my skintone itself. I like!!

On the Edge Hook up Liquid Eyeliner - I got cleo and lilith (which lilith we don't carry anymore, but it should be on the last chance anyday now). I'm not a liquid eyeliner fan, but I loooove this. The brush is tiny, so you can do tiny lines and do dramatic if you need to. Just push more and it will make the brush flat. It also stays on. I wore it on my hands for an entire day, even thru a few hand washes. good deal! (i can't wait til the waterproof liquid eyeliners and mascara). I will do a video on how to do liquid eyeliner.

I will try out the eyeliners I got today! I will write a review as soon as I do!

Mason posing with the bag...saying "cheese"

First Blog

Wow, it's my first blog for my YouTube since before Gustav. I had a journal on my website, but I just never remember to update that website, and it's too much work to begin with. With everything on plate lately, I think it would be easier to update just a plain journal than a whole webpage.

My stutter: it seems like it's getting better. I have my days where its worse than other days, but that's every stutterer. That's about it. nothing to bitch and complain about.

My kids: are well...

My next video should be done tomorrow. I'm getting a Mark package in tomorrow, and I bought a purse, some eyeliners I need, and an eyeshadow quad. Last week I got a package of some of the new hook ups coming up next month, the lime lavender lotion, and some stuff for customers.

My reviews on the lime lavender. When you smell it straight out of the bottle, you'll go WOW that's something. you'll think that not in a good way. But put it on your skin, and wear it around. it will grow on you. I'm picky about smells, and I looove this smell. It smells so clean and summery.

so I should have a video for tomorrow....if not, it will be up on Wednesday.
