Hey That's Pintastic!

Yes, I'm back with the Project Pinterest this week! Since it is almost Halloween I decided to make my project pumpkins! I do pumpkins every year like most people and for me I make my pumpkin carvings as simple as I can because I don't find I'm all that good at it! I can clean a pumpkin perfectly but when it comes to carving it up I often think it is better to just make easy then maybe ruin it! This year I decided I would try something new and just go for it! If I messed it up I messed it up! I looked over Pinterest and got some ideas! Even got a little kit from Wal mart to help me out! Here are my results!

All our pumpkins! Mine and Erica's

I'm very proud of our efforts this year! I think they turned out great :) Thanks for stopping by I hope you have a great Halloween and Happy Pinning!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I'm loving that it is my birthday weekend this weekend!! 29th birthday so I feel like I should be celebrating all week right :)

I'm loving that I get to see my Halifax girls in a couple of weeks! I wish Deena could be with us!

I'm loving that I get to go to Hebel's on Thursday for a pre-birthday dinner

I'm loving that I'm going to see my cousins play hockey this weekend! But I have taken to other hockey since I can't watch my NHL yet!

I'm loving too much stuff on Pinterest

I'm especially loving this pin because it basically sums me up in a  nutshell

Oh course I'm always loving my family, doggies and friends :)

Have a wonderful Wednesday Everyone!

Tunes Tuesday

I wasn't sure if I was going to post today but I remembered I didn't make sure you all knew about Serena Ryder's new song! If you don't know who Serena Ryder is please go and check her out more because she is amazing! Her new album is coming out on November 27th....You can visit her website here Her new song is called Stompa and it is another great song by her. I honestly can't think of any song of Serena's that I don't like and I'm super excited for her new album because it has been awhile. Her live shows are amazing she knows how perform and give her audience a great show. Hope you all like her as much as I do :)

Weekend Update!

Since I didn't have any time to get something together for Project Pinterest I'm going to link up with the ladies for Weekend Update!

This weekend the family packed up and headed to Halifax for my cousin Lisa's wedding! The wedding was beautiful and the ceremony was delightfully short and sweet! Even Lisa said it was great since she thought it was going to be like 20 minutes and it ended up being like 10 minutes. It was also nice because it was a night wedding and nothing started until 7pm. I love a wedding that just flows from one event to another. Ceremony to cocktails to dance! Since it was a rainy day it was also awesome that everything was in one spot! We had a great time and always great to spend time with the family! The hotel did a great job setting up everything and making sure Lisa and Nic had a wonderful wedding. I'm really glad we got to be there with Lisa and Nic for their special day!

Lovely set up for the cermony

Here comes the bride

Sunday, well lets just say Sunday was super lazy! Went to breakfast, Costo and Starbucks before heading home and then I napped for the rest of the day!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I will have something for Project Pinterest next week for sure! I already have the plans in my head for it! Happy Monday Everyone!

Guest Blog Featuring the Lovely Katie!

Hi blog dolls!  My name is Katie and I blog over at Lady Million.
You're reading this, so I already like you.  But I also like mimosas, makeup, and coffee in case you were wondering.  

First, you should know extreme organization makes me weirdly happy.
"A place for everything, and everything in it's place" :)
One of my many motto's.
Hence why I HAD to have this thing.  My hands were tied.  I had no choice.
Reason #2 is that I secretly want to be a Kardashian and they use this type of storage. 
Google it for proof.

What:  Muji Acrylic Cases... found here.
Price:  $27.95 + s/h for the 5 drawers

You literally cannot get this quality for a better price.  Trust me, I tried.  After some intense research I found that to get this type of system anywhere else, you will most likely be paying in the $100's....
Sorry.  Not happenin'.
Read the reviews at the bottom of the Muji website and most of them say something like this:

"I couldn't ask for a better makeup storage system!.... they are so pretty and all my friends LOVE them..."

Needless to say, I'm pretty happy I found these badboys.
I did the 5-7 business day shipping, so my total order was arounnndd... $35.00
It did take the full 7 days which I was not uber excited about.  I got so impatient that I hunted down random FedEx trucks driving around town looking for my package.  FedEx is not on my good side, but that I'll leave that story for another day.  

All of you fabulous readers.... you need these.  Good makeup is an investment.  With these you can properly display your hard-earned collection, and keep it a heck-of-a-lot cleaner.
I dressed mine up a little bit with the greenery and stones to match the rest of my bathroom.  I also display a couple of my perfumes and some Clinique/Aveda products that I use daily on top.  
Perfection.
To top it off, it saves me at least 5 minutes of prep time in the morning since I don't have to dig for makeup at the bottom of a bin.  
#winning
To wrap things up... a big ol' thank you to Shang for letting me chime in on her blog :)  She. Is. Fab.

Does anyone else have anything like these?

What are you using for makeup organization?
