If you don't do much make-up or do a huge make-up look everyday I am confident in saying mascara is a staple! I am a pretty picky person when it comes to mascara because my eyelids are oily (so all the mascara's I use are waterproof fyi) and I have super straight lashes. That being said I find it hard to spend extra money on mascara because of it's 3 moth self life. So I am all about department store brands.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been trying every new formula to hit the selves this spring make-up season and I have been less then impressed. From covergirl to rimmel nothing has been doing much for me and my lashes! </div>

Except for one brand! Plushie last year and now rocket and cat eye this year... wow wow wow!</div>
<div>

<div>
Everything worked perfectly and my lashes loved every coat of mascara. I was stunned and skeptical. Would this love keep going? Should I revisit old flops to remind myself why I was weary?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yep!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everyone loves the falsies mascara... me not so much! It flaked and irritated my eyes really badly. I couldn't handle having it one my eyes at all and I tried so hard to like it too. BUT! this was before I discovered that my oily eyelids needed a waterproof formula to not fall out of their curl and jab me in the eye. So I went and bought me some falsies in blackest black WATERPROOF... </div>

Have I said WOW?!??!?!? yet? because that is my reaction to this mascara. I am a fan and cannot recommend maybelline's mascaras enough! (at least the waterproof ones) They just know how to make a formula with staying power! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sorry other make-up brands but I think I am committed to these mascaras for life!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now... I know some friends that do not share my love for maybelline's formulas at all... It dries out their lashes and irritates their eyes. So if you have dry eyes you might run into irritation. Avoiding waterproof formulas will help. Look for mascara's that are described of having a wetter formula will work better for you.</div>

So I went back into my archives and picked a make-up look from when I first started blogging.<br />
<br />
The make-up look I decided to do for my first ever throwback thursday is this one <a href="http://lilchicmama.blogspot.ca/2012/01/simple-pale-pink-lips-and-fab-black.html" target="_blank">"Simple pale pink lips and Fab black liner"</a> This is one of my first practise make-up looks with liquid/gel liner. It turned out pretty good and I was really proud!<br />
<br />
I thought this was a good choice because it would be a good example of how my practise with make-up has improved my skill. I wanted to display my growth! It also is really pretty and I love pretty girly make-up looks in the spring!<br />
<br />

I made this look softer and paler but kept the pink shimmery undertone throughout. This look is also more of a wear everyday kind of look so instead of using white in the water line I went for a skin colour instead. This softened the look up even more! Nude is such a classic way to do you lips so I opted for nude over pale pink this time just because I felt like it really. Mind you the nude lip did let me go a little brighter with the blush which ads a pretty balance to the face.<br />

I again am proud of this look. It has a soft famine touch and really highlights all my brown features.<br />

If you have brown eyes, brown eyes or both I totally recommend soft pinks/burgundies it is a great way to showcase you god-give features!<br />

It is a lot purer and better for your hair than anything you buy. Add into that the cheaper price tag and I am all for making my own beauty treatments.<br>
<br>
I tried out velcro rollers and man did they do a number on my fine brittle hair. I don't have strong hair to begin with, but my ends have been repeatedly colour treated so they are really fried. The rollers totally destroyed my ends so I went to my kitchen and started to whip together my favourite hair mask!<br>

<li>1 egg white</li>
<li>1 tbls of cocunut oil</li>
<li>1 tbls of honey</li>
<li>1 tbls of coffee grounds</li>
</ul>

*I also added in the unused oil from my oil treatment but you don't have to do that. The above ingredients are just fine.</div>

When I mix mine all together I don't worry too much about chunks because when I put it all over my hair I use my hands and I do a final mix with my fingers then. I really don't do anything scientific when applying I start at my tips and work up to the roots of my hair. Once you hair is well covered wrap it in a towel to keep the drippings at bay and then throw a shower cap on for added protection! </div>

After a half an hour (or longer it really doesn't matter) I hopped into the shower and washed my hair like normal. I let it air dry because I was feeling bad for it. I love this treatment and I do it only once a month because it takes up alot of time and effort! It is best if you can do it once a week, but try to do it as often as you can like I do.</div>

There are a few trends out there that I just don't get OR that should have died off already! They got their moment now go away!!<br>
<br>
Today I am talking about a trend that should of died off but is still around and more powerful then ever. WHAT?!?!?!?<br>
<br>
The peplum top is the trend with whom I am directing my rage at today!<br>
<br>
At first I totally got this trend, on certain body types it is very flattering. It is a cool famine detail you can add to any outfit. You can wear it with almost any bottom which just added to it's versatility. So like I said at first I got this trend....<br>
<br>
BUT! there are some major flaws to this trend that make it hard to pull off.<br>
<br>
First... finding the perfect fit right off the rack is almost impossible. You need to have it tailored or you are not wearing this top right! The flattering parts of this top is the tailored top part to your waist and then the flair out emphasizing the slimness of your waist. If it is too lose or doesn't hit you on your waist it won't give you the slim look. A belt works for this with no tailor's fee ;)<br>
<br>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyW1QVXt259E-t8BiX72H5m2ItUogYj9DRMfvNMD5uVUKbJ1n0eFCniZoGByzSLwFtkyPDaxODCeLXIRPgDym5GJTEOr_2v4IDYX-PCNP1XefW_Ye-dQyP2iUUHJRX2Qyq7Weu2Y4hf6-i/s1600/toobigpeplum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyW1QVXt259E-t8BiX72H5m2ItUogYj9DRMfvNMD5uVUKbJ1n0eFCniZoGByzSLwFtkyPDaxODCeLXIRPgDym5GJTEOr_2v4IDYX-PCNP1XefW_Ye-dQyP2iUUHJRX2Qyq7Weu2Y4hf6-i/s320/toobigpeplum.jpg" width="320"></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This top isn't fitted properly so it looses it's peplumness (made up a word whoop!) IT makes her look like a rectangle here instead of flattering her skinny waist.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br>
Second... If you are pear shaped, sporty, busty with slender hips or have a natural waist line higher or lower than average this look will not work for you. Even though it is one of those trends that claims to look good on anyone (remember skinny jeans claimed the samething ya right!) I call BULLSHIT!<br>
<br>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0dm5NimYokdjPLkjmmLWWmJpCnL-k_BxbSerPp6tlJ-jtLBnABwah4PDTSiu5GMHF3yrlijWIMSbwmw8gZEWId-XVMumhAspfAjTzobQkvoIXdcPAsKPAjj-oVH19t-38Qw9ACUxR81O_/s1600/whypeplum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0dm5NimYokdjPLkjmmLWWmJpCnL-k_BxbSerPp6tlJ-jtLBnABwah4PDTSiu5GMHF3yrlijWIMSbwmw8gZEWId-XVMumhAspfAjTzobQkvoIXdcPAsKPAjj-oVH19t-38Qw9ACUxR81O_/s320/whypeplum.jpg" width="213"></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">sporty figure, instead of accenting curves it just makes her look more square.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
Third... When has having two sets of wide hips been attractive? Yes if done right you have a skinny waist but then it looks like your hips come right out of your waist. BUT wait... You already have hips and most peplum tops come to right above your hips bringing attention to them. WHY? WHY?! do you want to have two widest parts of your body?<br>
<br>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAslHKqQ2ETAxOuhPB3492syHD9HpgLyr7QfbNbBQOFcVuFXWwj1FHT8S4ZfiDbCSusOnVTB6ZJ9jmGISKEKAPQDcpLEtOttLsU8ZrBmB6r0FZHfYcSaOTCR5fwkZSjPvNoVQ_Rg1TWmPn/s1600/tooshortpeplum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAslHKqQ2ETAxOuhPB3492syHD9HpgLyr7QfbNbBQOFcVuFXWwj1FHT8S4ZfiDbCSusOnVTB6ZJ9jmGISKEKAPQDcpLEtOttLsU8ZrBmB6r0FZHfYcSaOTCR5fwkZSjPvNoVQ_Rg1TWmPn/s320/tooshortpeplum.jpg" width="247"></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Do you see the two hips? Or am I just crazy? She looks so much wider then she is!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
So in conclusion I think we need to band together and kick this trend to the curb! Also if you couldn't pull it off don't feel bad neither could I and technically Im the "body type" that this trend was made for o.O explain that one to me please!! Though I didn't really wanna pull this look off I never really liked it.... So maybe my personal opinion is driving this a teeny tiny little bit.<br>
<br>
If you AGREE band with me and share this post! Spread the word and maybe someone important will listen!! (haha not likely but it will eventually go away right?)<br>
<br>
Lots of love<br>

I am always searching for the next miracle accessorized with a mascara wand. Cover Girl has NOT wowed me lately in any of the many make up categories. Which is sad because it used to be a go to for me. So when one of my favourite artists became a cover girl (p!nk) I had to give them another chance. <br />

Unfortunately clump crusher crushed my enthusiasm. It went on nice. I liked the wand, and it held my curl beautifully. (Waterproof of course) It was true to its name there were no clumps....flakes though, well as the day wore on they made their first appearance. Come lunch time I felt like my under eyes were wearing more mascara than my eyelashes!! It flaked so badly I had to go take it off because it was driving me crazy!!<br />

<br />
Taking away one problem (clumps) and replacing it with a new one (flakes) is not a solution Cover Girl! <br />
<br />
I do not recommend this product. There are better non-clumping mascaras out there that don't flake out as the day goes by!<br />

Hope this was helpful<br />

Also was kinda having an awesome hair day today too! My hair just air dried into that gorgeousness!! YES! lol So this look is a little vampy feeling so I kept the checks bright and the lips nude (well my lips are naturally pretty pink so my nude isn't very pale if you nude is pale I'd go brighter) Please excuse the crazy skin colour thing going on my web cam is not very flattering haha!</div>

Eye Shadow PrimerSo here I am again sorry about the long hiatus! Today we are putting eye shadow primer under a microscope! Is it worth it? Even on the cheaper scale? Do you really need it or is it just another step.<br />
<br />
Those were just a few of the questions I asked about this product when I was first looking into buying some for myself. I decided to get some of the cheapest stuff out on the market because it seemed ridiculously expensive for such a simple product. I started out with the brand GOSH's primer and was not impressed. It was nice and it did make my eye shadow go on smoother, but the colour didn't last longer. I still had some streaks in my crease come the end of the day, and the promise of brighter bolder colours were not as amazing as advertised!<br />
<br />
I was about to toss this product to the curb, but then I came into a couple free samples from some higher end brands. The much raved about Urban Decay primer in both Greed and The Original. Now I was skeptical about the original colour because it just looked like watered down concealer how was that going to help? So I didn't start my test with it, I went for greed because I liked the idea of a golden base. Man were my thoughts of it being a watered down concealer off! It was much smoother and softer and felt luscious when I put it on my eyes. Now I only used taupes, browns, and golds with "Greed" but they were much brighter! They lasted all day and didn't crease or run and become raccoony. I loved it and decided that maybe the original colour was worth my attention.<br />
<br />
I didn't try it though, I came into another free sample of benefit's Primer and decided to try it out first. It seemed very similar to urban Decay's primer but was a couple dollars cheaper in its full size version. (at least in Canada, in the states UD primer is on sale and is cheaper) Now I liked this product and it did it's job. My eye shadow stayed put, the colours were brighter, and it didn't crease come the end of the day.<br />
<br />
My only problem with the Benefit's primer is that I used Urban Decay's primer in original after it. They are really very close as far as products go. Even their price point is only off by a couple dollars. I still like Urban Decay's product better. It just seemed to work a smidgen harder for me. The colours seem slightly brighter, and last a little bit later into the night. Either product is really nice, and I can't bring myself to recommend either over the other. I think I just like Urban Decay's product better due to personal preference and not based on the product.<br />
<br />
So if I have a favourite does that mean I think it is worth it?<br />
<br />
Well....<br />
<br />
Not exactly. For everyday light "I'm running out for groceries" make-up it is just an extra step that seems unnecessary. I don't use it everyday and sometimes I do forget about it entirely. Do I notice when I don't wear it? Yes almost right away I notice, because blending is quiet a bit harder without this product on as a base. When I am going out or I am doing a more daring make-up look it is a must have.<br />
<br />
So my final thoughts on this product are, if you wear bright colours, go out with more daring make-up, or just like to do make-up this product is a must have! If your make-up is more on the side of a simple everyday to get you by then you don't need this product. It is just an extra step. Quality does make a difference with this product. I would definitely invest in the higher price point brand's primer over the drugstore brands. You use so little at a time and they give you a fair amount it isn't a product you will be running to the store to buy very often. Which makes it a good value in my books.<br />
<br />
Hope this was helpful!<br />

I remember the days where everything needed to be pink. Every accessory, every shoe, every lipstick, and every eyeshadow. It also needed to be covered in glitter ;) but that is a whole other obsession!<br />
<br />

A light baby pink is for baby girls, a hot bright pink is for the punk in us all, and a soft brownish rose pink is for the sophisticated lady. I wanted to break that mold. Hot neon pink is a huge colour right now and I wanted to have a make-up look I could go to if I was having a pink kind of day. This is the result of that desire!<br />

<br />
It is bold, bright and just the right amount of punch to catch your attention. I think this look would look great on darker skin tones, brown eyes, or green eyes. I think this look accomplished my goal quite nicely. What do you guys think? wearable mature neon pink or does it still need some tweaking?<br />

Now if you have read any of my other posts about mascara you'll know I have a love hate relationship with the sexy black goop. I found the best way to keep my long STRAIGHT lashes curled was to use a waterproof mascara, but using waterproof mascara everyday can be pretty rough on your lashes. Plus with a new baby sometimes I just don't have time to do the elaborate clean up waterproof mascara needs! Which means I sleep with it on my lashes yuck! A friend recommended this mascara for me to try. Here is how it went! <br />

Love the colours they used! The wand has a weird flex part to it which is neat in theroy but I found it didnt really do anything when applying the mascara. That being said it didn't make it harder to apply either. It really didnt do anything negative or positive. I could see it being handy if you have a hard time working product right at the root of your lashes, but I don't so I can say that for sure. The brush is big and full of bristles and I really enjoyed how it grabbed my lashes. It didn't clump them together or space them out too much. I felt like it provided the perfect amount of volume.<br />

How did the formula do?<br />
<br />
It is lightweight like advertised, but not super lightweight. I'd say it is a middle-weight contender. The formula left my lashes really soft to touch which was really neat and comfortable. I couldn't get over the flexibility of this formula! In the heat (crazy hot heat to boot!) it held up beautifully. No flaking. No smearing. No smudging. <br />
<br />
Did it hold my lashes curled all day? <br />
<br />
Almost. I'll give it an almost. It didn't make it all day but it did better then most. Around late afternoon my lashes would start to droop, but I am usually done my day by then so it held up for the whole length of "MY" day. Plus, being such a flexible formula I could do a touch up curl without damaging my lashes if need be and it would make it until I removed my make-up.<br />

Final verdict<br />
<br />
As a daily mascara this one is a winner! It lasts through my errands in blistering heat. Held my curl well enough to not bother my eyes, and even if I did need to do some eye rubbing it wouldn't go anywhere anyways! I think it could be used in a night out look as well but like I said earlier it is more middle ground drama. So if you want super intense it might not be quite enough for you. It is pretty build-able though. I could totally see myself repurchasing this product! If your thinking about checking it out I suggest you do!<br />
<br />
Lots of love<br />

Retailed at sephora for 36$ alternatives range from $7-$20 so if you can find an alternative do it.<br />
<br />
But! Alot of the drugstore bronzers are too orange for me personally, so because of that this product is worth it! If you have a bronzer you love already then stick with that. No need to spend more money just to smell like chocolate. If your feeling orange like me then most definitely try this product! It is the perfect shade for either a subtle contour or an all over sun kissed look!<br />
<br />
Lots of love<br />

I am showing some love to the sunny shade of coral today! This beautiful colour has a shade for everyone and every shade is just as gorgeous as the last. I chose a golden coral infusion shadow for my eyes, urban decay "x". After an all over dose of that gorgeous colour, I used some "naked" shadow for a little bit of definition in my crease and on my lower lash line. With "x" being so shimmery I decided to make it pull double duty as my highlight as well. <br />
<br />
Cheeks and lips I kept with the golden coral but went for colours that were more coral then golden. Nars "orgasm" for my cheeks, which has become my new multipurpose blush! Lips I used Maybeline "coral luster" lipstick and smashbox "boundless" longwear lipgloss. <br />

Today's make-up look was all about my drugstore collection! I wanted something simple and sleek, that would travel well. By travel well I mean have as few items as possible. I have an upcoming road trip and need to start deciding what make-up needs to come with me!! Harder to do then I originally thought. <br />

I only used one trio to get the desired look. I figured the fewer eyeshadow palettes I use the better. I just stuck with the suggested application for this trio. You know what I mean if it has crease pressed into the powder I did what it told me too. Applying some K.I.S.S. to this look. Here are the main items of this look ( I didn't include everything in this list because the other items I used are my few staple higher end products) <br />

Love this look. It is super bright and playful. (please ignore my hair it was having a rough day haha) Brighting up a classic neutral look of basic shadow and liner by switching it up to bright contrasting colours is the idea behind this look!<br />

I chose a nude lavender lip to play up the purple on my eyes. I wish I had a violet toned blush to really vamp it up but alas I didn't so I stuck to a simple natural cheeks. I love this look and plan on trying different contrasting colour combos when I get a chance! Hope you like it as much as I did :D<br />

I wanted something bold, simple, and defining. Purple really should be my go to colour! Don't ask me why I don't wear it more, I could not tell you. This look is so amazing, and easy to tone down slightly for a more everyday look as well. If I used brown liner and mascara instead of black the whole look wouldn't be so crisp and seem more natural. Yes, even with the purple :D </div>

I wanted to use my 24hr tattoo shadow in pomegranate punk within this look but it isn't the most blend-able product so it ended up turning into a base instead of a colour contributor. Which I loved! It was too late to make it the entire looks base but where I put it the purple has more staying power and a better pow! I will definitely be trying this look with my pomegranate punk as the eyeshadow base in the very near future! </div>

I loved how the liner came under the eye a little bit. It is smokey and sultry but still very girly and pretty thanks to the pink lip! I want to try this look with brown liner as well to just soften it up a little bit more :D<br />

So my birth story starts out like my other two, heading to the hospital to get induced. I did want to go into labor naturally, but the stress of that happening well Jordan was at work and labor going really fast was enough to push me into accepting the induction. (haha push more like leapt at the idea!) SO... I get to the hospital and they ask me to do the routine pee in a cup, so I do. The nurse comes back shortly after exclaiming, “I’ve never seen this before so I have to show you!” I don’t think anybody wants to hear that when being admitted in the hospital. Now I can't remember exactly what specifically they test for but if positive you have an infection. A positive, appears as a very very very pale (very pale!!) peach, my positive was HOT pink! Eeeck! With that result not only are they positive I have a UTI but they are concerned it is in my kidney’s as well.
<br />
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
Now this wasn’t too surprising to me seeing as I have had a bladder infection for the better part of this pregnancy and after 4 rounds of antibiotics apparently still hadn’t beaten it! So this is where even though I really didn’t want an IV I needed one for the antibiotics. Though I didn’t need to have one the whole time just during antibiotics, as long as I was staying hydrated. So after that shock and some antibiotics, the induction process began. I started at a 0% effaced and 1 cm dilated so I knew this labor was probably going to be a little bit of a slow starter. I got into a groove and wasn’t too uncomfortable. They were just lightly causing discomfort so I could easily manage them. After I went into the shower they picked up and slowly started to increase in strength which was more exciting then painful. After the 6 hour mark the doctor wanted to check me to make sure I was actually in labor because if I wasn’t they would do another round of prostaglandin gel. At this point if I was anything 5cm plus I felt like I could keep pushing through without being disappointed.
<br />
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
I was exactly 5cm and 100% effaced. At this time the nurse also needed to do a shift change and wanted to have me monitored for about 15min so she could get a vibe for the baby for the intermitted heart rate checks. Those 15min were awful, because after the check my contractions picked up in strength again. I wish I had refused but I made it through and was desperate to get unhooked when the 15min were up. I went into the shower again with Jordan’s help and tried my best to get into my zone, but something was feeling off about the contractions. My baby wasn’t back to back and I was emptying my bladder regularly so why was I getting this ache that wouldn’t subside between contractions? I started to hit my wall at this point. My body was entering transition and the contractions I could manage it was this other pain. After I got out of the shower the contractions started to piggy back each other and this all over ache that wasn’t from or connected to my contractions was unbearable. If I drank water it got worse but without water the contractions would come non-stop. I was starting to lose my strength.
At the 7hr mark of labor, I started to make my decision.<br />
<br />
I was praying to god about the pain, confused why it felt so different, and looking for wisdom on what to do to get past it. I decided to get checked again because after these kind of contractions I thought maybe I was close and that’s what the extra pain was. The nurse check me and I was for the most part the same. Maybe a little closer to a 6 but still 5cm dilated and baby’s head was still pretty high. As soon as she said that it hit me, my bladder and kidneys! After all the contractions and the infection they were inflamed or irritated and the baby couldn’t move past my bladder! The reason you want to keep emptying your bladder is because it can slow labor down and get in the way, but with me even when empty my bladder was still screaming something’s wrong and was getting in the way. I was in transition I knew these contractions from Ellie’s birth but if I couldn’t find a way to relax my bladder I was going to be fighting an uphill battle. I just knew it. <br />
<br />
SO... Here is where I made a decision that I had never even consider during my last labors. With Samuel my labor was 7hrs long and at about 5hrs into it I asked for something to help me relax a little. I was absolutely horrified of the epidural and even though I couldn’t manage the pain anymore it wasn’t even on my radar. After my body relaxed during sam’s labor a couple hours later I had him. Now here I was 7hrs in with this labor only half way and my body was fighting an uphill battle that only took an hour last labor. I was done. With the meds that I got with Samuel’s labor they were burned off before I was even pushing, but I still felt the effects and it was like being on a cloud. I knew I didn’t want to go through that again. Plus I knew that if I could relax my bladder and corresponding muscles I was gunna have this baby quick. So after thinking and praying about all this in super speed in my head all my fear of the epidural was wiped away and I asked for an epidural. The minutes waiting for the epidural my contractions stepped it up a notch again and I was barely holding it together. <br />
<br />
My mom who has had 5 spinals for 5 c-sections was the one whom I got to lean on and she couched me through it. Within minutes I felt relieve. I could eat and drink again without being in fear of aggravating my bladder even more. I relaxed ate some salad my step-dad brought for us and started to get settled. After about an hour I started to feel the contractions again. With the accompanying ache of my bladder. The nurse came and said usually at this point that’s normal because it’s time to turn the pump on. If they persist in 5mins to give her a call again she might need to turn it up for me. Well in 5mins they weren’t getting better but worse, so we called her. She suggested that she check me again because sometimes increased pain well on an epidural can mean progress. Okay let’s see if my instinct about needing to relax were right. pfft... was I right? Well with about 4 mins of pushing Jericho Colin Munro was born weighing in at 8lbs 12oz and measuring at 21.2inches. I don’t know if something else could of been done, but I do know that what I did choose to do worked for me. I didn’t tear, still got to hold my baby right away and was probably the most present during birth then either of my two previous labors. I got discharged from the hospital after my second round of antibiotics the next day after lunch.<br />
<br />
I think if I didn’t have that bladder infection I probably would’ve been able to push through, but labor is painful enough, when my bladder and kidneys started to add to the pain I just couldn’t cope anymore.
<br />
<br />
Im proud that I made it through 8 and a half hours of labor (longest labor so far haha) Almost all of it still pain med free. I wouldn’t change anything (except maybe the bladder infection) about this birth, and am very glad that the last hour of my last pregnancy was soooo enjoyable well on the epidural.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02371712090938259684noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5833208788764718505.post-18611798183315831852012-05-02T09:54:00.000-07:002012-05-02T09:54:39.221-07:00Simple doesn't mean Boring!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I extended the green along my lash line and up into my crease to really shape my eye. This shade of green is a personal favourite of mine. I will most definitely be wearing this make-up look again! It is soo gorgeous! I am really proud of it. I went peachy on my cheeks to keep a warm complexion against the cool green. Then I went will a pale pink lip to sandwich in the warmth on my cheeks. I love how the pink on my lips makes the green pop and vice versa. </div>

Today's make-up look is a bold colour pop! You can do this with any colour you heart desires. Keeping everything else about the make-up low key splash a bold colour all over your lid keeping your crease nice and clean. I added some brown under my eye to give a little more definition to my eyes because the colour I choose washed me out. Depending on skin tone and colour used this step is optional. </div>

I really love this look, even if orange is a little bright for me I still think I will do this look again. Actually with my colouring a really bright green of any shade would be a great way to do this look as well. This is a little bolder than just a simple colour pop but not too over the top that you couldn't wear it for an everyday look.<br />

The trend this spring is all about those neon colours. If doing it in accessories or colour blocking isn't your style try playing with the trend within your make-up!<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed this make-up look!<br />

Lots of Love<br />

Pink is a fabulous colour and alot of us of the female gender love the colour, but we shy away from it when it comes to eyeshadow. why? We fear looking like little girls! Pink is something that epitomizes sweet and innocent. Usually... anyways! Today I went for an edgy pink makeup look that screams anything but little girl. I used the sexiness of a smokey eye and a bold hot pink shade to grow up my love of pink.<br />

This look isn't for everyone, but almost everyone can wear it. Pink is very similar to red as is there is very likely to be a shade out there for you. Even if it isn't the perfect shade just even it out with it's opposing colour family. If it's cool go warm everywhere else, if it's neutral avoid neutrals, and if it's warm go cool. Even though there are colours that will be the best for you that doesn't mean you should limit yourself just to those colours!<br />

I started out with a blog post of my first impression which you can find<a href="http://lilchicmama.blogspot.ca/2012/01/maybellines-baby-lips.html" target="_blank"> -> Here <-</a> and today I finally am releasing my long term thoughts of the product! :D<br />
<br />
I talked about their advertising and how the product lived up to it. I also talked about my favourite feature of the product and how that alone is why I will be buying more of this product! Check it out and share your thoughts on the product!<br />
<br />
Do you agree with me? Disagree?<br />
<br />
Loved to read your comments! :D<br />
