Entry Way Makeover

I found this wall accent at Target the other day and it inspired me to makeover my entry way. Plus you all know I cant pass up some more cute little birds for my house. However, the space is only three feet by three feet so I really couldn't do a whole lot with it. But I found using some new paint, hooks and wall art can make a big impact.

Before.

After!

I painted it a gray'ish blue'ish color to give it some interest.

The Hubs installed some hooks (also from Target)  for backpacks, scarves, purses, etc.....very functional when you are living in a small space. 

I could have attempted to paint this mural myself but, I really like the ease of pealing off stickers. Plus I can change the decor very easily when I get tired of it (which I often do!).

Feasting with friends and family and my new baby!

My in-law's threw an amazing dinner party last weekend. Pots full of steaming seafood, wine for at least 50 (and there were 12 of us), My Hubbie's creme brulee, friends, family.......  needless to say it was a yummy evening!

Do you see anything different about my pictures? 

Look what I got!!!!!

My new baby!!!

Deacon's 6th Birthday!

I cant believe my baby is 6 years old! Deacon's name means helper and he truly has a willingness to help. I treasure the memories of him helping me in the kitchen cooking or cleaning. He has always had a wonderful smile that could light up a room. I love you Deacon!

Happy Birthday To You!

Creating Perfect Eyebrows

Use a small comb and brush eyebrow hair upwards.

Trim any long pieces with mustache scissors. Any small sharp scissors will do.

Pluck strays one at a time. DONT OVER PLUCK!

I have very thin and light eyebrows. Here they are totally nude.

Fill in brows with a brow pencil that matches your natural brow color. I use one from Mac. Use light short strokes. This creates a natural looking brow. We have all seen drawn on brows that look almost clownish. That is not the look we are going for at all!

Next, fill in with a brow powder. Use a flat soft brush. I use Maybelline brow powder and my brush is from Bare Essentuals. This really makes your brows look finished.

Your brow should end diagonal with your eye. Like this.

Your arch should start in the center of your iris. Like this.

All done.
 Natural and lovely and not a bit clownish!

My visit with family in Idaho
