Just a little More Mascara Madness...

Well, when my girls read my last blog about the mascara choice of our family, they said I need to also share the other mascaras they love!  

My girls have a simple process when it comes to mascara.  They apply...dry... apply another coat.  Sometimes they use the "blue tube".  Other times they use a coat from blue tube, a coat from green tube..

Their other mascara favorites are Scandal Eyes by Rimmel and the 'ole fav of many, 
Great Lash!  
They will often use a safety pin to help separate their lashes.  I
 don't have the patience for that!  
 

Another little eyelash secret is they wash out an old mascara wand and use to to get the clumps gone or to separate the lashes.  
Simple and FREE tip!  
Happy Monday!

Let's Talk Lashes...

My girls and I get asked weekly what kind of mascara we use...
Saturday my sweet nail lady asked me what type of glue and lashes I use...
I broke it to her that they were "natural!"  
She was shocked!  
God blessed us with some great lashes and I don't take it for granted.  

I always hesitate to break the news to everyone that we use Rocket Volume Express by Maybelline. 

YES! You can buy it at your local DG or WM!  
And, its cheap!  


Emiley probably has the longest lashes of the 4 our us.  They are simply gorgeous.  Since she is just 14, she is just learning to apply mascara and really just beginning to love make-up.  

Lainey has long lashes and they curt naturally.  She is "doubly" blessed!  

Abbey, now 17, has her lash skills down to an art!  They are beautiful and she spend the time on them to make them look fabulous everyday!   

Yep, that's me as a lumberjack on Halloween.  :)  
Maybe I need to take more close-ups to "prove" I'm lash worthy...
But for today, this is the best you get!  
 Let me know your favorite "cheap" mascara.  
We may have to try a new kind!  
Happy Tuesday folks... Here's to great lashes!

This Has Gotten Ridiculous...

Hello Blogging World... 
Remember me?  Shelley, momma of three. 
Yes, well I hardly remember myself some days.  
I do remember I loved blogging and miss it terribly, but the hustle and bustle of following three teenagers around has taken over! 

 To add to the crazy, I am teaching JH Science this year.  It's so much fun, and I feel like I am working hard just to stay ahead.  
Last week we "played" with internal organs of a cow and pig.  
See, My life is glamorous.  

These three beauties make me proud every single day and keep me hopping.  
We rarely spend one evening a week at home due to their sporting events. 
I wouldn't trade it for anything but also need to get back to blogging to document the craziness of what it is having three teenage daughters.  

 Like many people, I choose a word of the year.  
For me, my word this year is "courageous!"  
I want to be courageous in my life.  I want to pursue the things I love courageously.  I want to be courageous and stand up for the things that aren't positive in my life.  
I love all things simple and having one simple word to focus on is so much more relative then a list of resolutions.  
Do you have a word of the year?  Do you hope to make small, simple changes as this new year is quickly underway?  

I'm so thankful for this new sign that sits in my living room.  It reminds me to be courageous, to keep my life simple and do all things with great love!  
Happy New Year, blog world. 
I've missed you!
