Fail.

I went shopping.

I avoided clothing impulse buys though, and I'm proud of myself for that.

Plus, I get paid tomorrow... and I like to think that I deserve a treat every payday. ;)

Terrible quality pic, my apologies.
Pretty little bikini for this weekend.

Okay, can you tell that I'm excited for Saturday!?

What could possibly be better than floating with your best girl friends, drinking tasty beverages, and prowling for guys.

Well, that's a typical weekend for us, minus the water.

I will be making my signature drink, Panty Droppers! =O

I also bought a waterproof disposable camera to capture the exciting moments.

I couldn't find a floating radio though...

Also purchased at Target...

a mini e.l.f. haul!

essential beauty school 32-piece eyeshadow palette $5

I repeat, 32 eyeshadows for $5!  Very good pigmentation and looovely colors.

(I purchased Vol.2)

I hadn't been wearing eyeshadow lately, just thick teal liner... this purchase will change that.

studio waterproof lengthening & volumizing mascara $3

I didn't have any waterproof mascara, so I'll test this out this weekend.

studio contour brush $3

I have heard SO many great things about the studio line of brushes, so I picked this up to apply my new eyeshadows.  I LOVE IT.  It's perfect.

July Love List.

I thoroughly enjoy reading about what other bloggers love,

SHORTS

This is the first summer that I've worn shorts in probably 4 years. 

I was never comfortable in shorts before, but now I just don't care! :)

Starbucks Double Shot in Vanilla

These things allow me to survive through long days at work or I'll drink one before a night on the town for an extra boost

Weed & Water

MUFE's HD Microfinish Powder

This powder is my savior in this ridiculous humidity. 

I just brush a little on my t-zone, end of nose & chin to prevent my skin from getting oily.

What are you currently in lovee with?

Weekend update

I hope you all had a fabulous holiday weekend like I did!

I headed to Des Moines on Thursday so that I could assist Jessica with some last minute touches for the wedding.

The rehearsal dinner on Friday was the definition of perfection.

Seriously, if your in Des Moines needing makeup, he's amazing & the makeup is beyond wonderful.

I cannot wait to see the photographer's pictures of the wedding.

The reception was a blast.
I spent 99% of the time on the dance floor.

I got back to Sioux City on Sunday and spent the rest of my weekend riding my motorcycle!

I struggled a bit on Sunday, but practice makes perfect.
