Happy Birthday, Lili!!!

(My sister sent me this picture as Lili was opening the gift we sent her!)

My oldest niece, Liliana, turned 6 today!  SIX?!?!  Where did those 6 years go????  It seems like it was just a couple mornings ago when I got that 4 am phone call from my mom telling me she was on the way!  I went right to the hospital and took off work that day.  It seems like we waited FOREVER for Lili to make her way into the world!  Her stubborness started out early! :)  She is such an awesome little girl and I miss her like crazy!!  They recently moved to Alabama because of the military and I don't get to see them as much as I'd like!  A couple months after being born, my brother-in-law was deployed for a year.  So, my mom and I were at my sister's house pretty much every single day to help my sis out with Lili.  So, in honor of her 6th birthday, I wanted to share 6 memories/facts about becoming an aunt for the first time!

1.  Lili - I had never changed a diaper until you!  You were my first diaper change!!  I never knew so much grossness could come out of such a small cute bundle of joy!!  

2.  When we used to watch you while your mommy was in school, you had separation issues...MAJOR issues.  You would scream cry your little heart out when you realized your mommy wasn't there.  I would cry with you because I felt soooo bad for you!

3.  I was always so nervous when I would give you a bath.  Once, I was trying to get the shampoo out of your hair and the water got in your mouth.  You choked.  I panicked.  But everything worked out just fine.

4.  One of my favorite memories I have is one time me and ma-ma were watching you.  You and I sit in the rocking chair and watched tv for hours.  We shared TWO bowls of Cheerios...I'm pretty sure you had more than me!  You loved those Cheerios!!

5.  You used to come over to my house and play in my basket of scrapbook flowers.  You had your own little basket of scrapbook stuff that I gave you.  You had stickers, flowers, and paper.  I still have that basket and can't bring myself to get rid of it!  

6.  The first time you met Uncle David (or Uncle Batman as you call him), you wanted HIM to hold your hand to walk to the car!  HIM and not ME?!?!  You instantly loved him and I loved that!   

We've made so many memories together and I can't wait to make more!  You're my little Silly Lili.  Before you were born, I decided that is what I would call you.  Little did I know you would actually be so humorous! 





Happy 6th Birthday, Lili :)

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC.  Yes, it's true.  I have apparently been living under a rock.  In a bubble.  Something!!  I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try.  And O.M.G. I am so glad I did.  Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh!  4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29???  It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!!  I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty!  They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection  and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers.  I guess I should've gotten a picture bu...

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people....
