Mom's Out There

I have been writing on this site for almost two years now..but now it's time to move on and get my own .com so now I have...I encourage you to visit me at my new site. (My daughter is even helping me write here!)

I hope to see you there!

I have to admit that I haven't always been into makeup. But lately I have been. I have been visiting Sephora more times lately then I ever thought I would. But my favorite eyeliner actually came to me by accident. I had entered a contest at Sofachip.com and for the prize I got some makeup too. This Revlon Beyond Natural eyeliner came with it. I was really not into trying it out. I have always been so sensitive to eyeliner and actually stopped buying or wearing makeup all together because I couldn't find an eyeliner that I liked.

So the first couple of times that I used Beyond Natural I was impressed. I liked how it applied like it was liquid. And it was so easy to work with. I actually could apply it fast and it looked great. Now I have been on the hunt to find it here but I can't find it anywhere. I hope that it's just not available in the States.

What's your favorite eyeliner??

So yes, it's Christmas Eve Eve and my house is going crazy. I am no where done getting ready for it. I have presents to wrap. I can't send the kids outside because it's -30C every day. I can't even handle going outside and with the wind it's so much colder.

And the presents...they are just sitting waiting for me to wrap them. I just never get an ounce of peace in the house to sneak off and wrap them. And in this small apartment where am I going to really sneak off to? May be the bathroom would be the only place that I could actually get away with it, to bad it's so tiny.. :)

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and gets to where they need to be safe and sound. And if you are having a delay at the airport you can write me a letter in the comments. Ha ha...

Besides the celebrity gossip writing gig I do, I also do surveys. In the last couple of ones I've had to do I have had to sign a confidentially agreement before I could do it. So, I know about new products others don't know about. I think it's so freaky! But I have seen before with a movie, I had to watch two trailers and tell them which one I liked better. I have seen the trailer in the public now and can't remember if they chose the one I liked or not.

Don't ask me to tell you about the new products...don't they know I can't keep secrets? I gossip for a living...I have to tell everyone everything! Okay, I am pushing publish now before I give away the secrets of everything I know!

Do you need to keep secrets too?

This week is going to be so busy for me. I don't have my shopping done and I haven't wrapped not even one present yet. The kids are off on Friday for two weeks so I have to get going QUICK!

When I was growing up my mom and I were really into music. And our favourite song to sing? The 12 Days Of Christmas...Canadian style...so here is my most favourite Christmas song of all.

The last couple of weeks have been rough for me. It was the anniversary of my Grandfather's death and I don't feel I'm any closer to being over it than when I found out. He was more like my dad than my grandfather. I miss him a lot.

And last week I stopped writing for the blog Go Smell The Flowers, they were really my first blogging friends here so I'll miss them. I was going to leave at the end of the month but I was getting sick and tired of getting beat up by the trolls so I left. But, because if it I can spend more time here.

I really want to get this site going and even switch over to a .com for it soon. I would love to have a place where mom's can feel like they are understood. I hope I can do that.

I am horrible at trying to eat cheaply...I always think that good food has to cost a fortune. But here as some hints to help me and other's to save money and eat healthy.

Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!


Keeping with the Twilight theme I got this quiz sent to me...And I found out I was Bella. Take the quiz and tell me who you are!

I am a little obsessed with Twilight. I'm in the process of reading the third book now. I have to say it's a great get away for me at the night. I'm just sad that someday I won't have anymore to read. I would be content to just read their story for the rest of my life.

See more on Twilight at my celebrity gossip site TEN Gossip.
