Bringing Sexy Back - GIVEAWAY

Big, full sexy lips. Pouty. Angelina lips.

I do not have these.

Help, I have no lips...

And let's be totally honest, if you've seen my mother, you know that it's really only going to get worse... Sorry Mom, but I didn't win that genetic lottery.

The most depressing thing is whatever fullness I've ever had (read:not much) has started to dissipate as I get older. Having just turned 32 I can attest that getting older (at least physically) sucks. Hard.

A month ago though I had a turn of good fortune in the shape of a dear friend... A dear friend who happens to be a rep for Rodan and Fields. She graciously and without (too much) judgement offered me some help.

The Rodan and Fields Anti Age Lip Renewing Serum with the Amp MD roller.

The Amp MD Roller is a "non-abrasive, instrument with embedded surgical grade, acupunture-type, stainless steel microneedles which painlessly create micro-channels in the uppermost skin layer", while the lip serum is a blend of peptide technology and antioxidants. When used together, these two are a super power in the fight against flat, colorless, totally un-sexy lips.

Now - I'll be honest. I was nervous about the roller. But being a person who is deathly afraid of needles, I can swear to you I felt no more than a tingle when I rolled that baby over my lips, and once I applied a half amp of the serum I was good to GO! Twice a day I did this and said a little prayer to the lip plumping gods that something would happen, that I would wake up one morning looking... well, a little pouty-er at the least.

And holy crap, I saw it. I saw a difference. My lips got fuller and softer, the color came back into them, they became less scaly... (scaly? Good lord, it's a miracle my husband ever kissed me) but it worked! They looked sexier, pouty-er and even my lipgloss and stain went on smoother.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised though. Rodan and Fields are the docs behind Proactiv and everyone has been talking about them lately. Places like, The Today Show, Harpers Bazaar and even the Little Henhouse! I mean, honestly, can't go wrong there.

But the best part of all this? I get to share it with you! Because of my amazing friend I get to give you some sexy full lips! You know you want them... And you know whoever you are smooching on New Years Eve wants them too.

One lucky reader will get a 60 day supply of the anti Age Renewing Lip Serum (a $53 value!!) and entering the giveaway is easy cheesy.

All you need to do to enter is let me know if you want some new, sexy lips... and if you're feeling really feisty, who you're going to kiss with them on NYE.

Wordless Wednesday : Shameless Halloween Cuteness

This is why I freaking HEART Halloween these days. They are so cute dressed up that I can forget about him being a demon hellspawn %75 of the time.

And speaking of pictures... did you hear on Facebook/Twitter/That Billboard I bought on the Sunset Strip, that I was having a giveaway?? Check it out!!

Halloween - aka OMFG CANDY???

It's over. Another year, another Halloween, another chance to dress up and act like an idiot. The best part about this year's is how freaking FUN it was! It's totally different now. We don't go to parties, I don't get dressed as some skanky, sexy, Nurse/Beer Wench/Flight Attendant. I wore a big bulky airplane (there should be pictures somewhere, I'll find them for you), because my son and my husband were fighter pilots.

And it was totally awesome.

It's so much more fun now that I get to experience Halloween through my toddlers eyes. A child who is old enough to marvel and be amazed at the costumes and the spooky houses and is still a little bit shy at walking up to everyone's house and ringing the door, and isn't totally jaded by the idea that this night is JUST about the candy. Although trust me, he got the hang of the candy thing pretty quickly... tootsie rolls and Kit Kats are apparently very motivating.

We met up with friends, we enjoyed the downtown trick-or-treating, we came home, enjoyed the neighborhood trick-or-treating, and my child decided that food was simply NOT an option ever again. Not when there is CANDY in the world. Like OMFG CANDY???

He told me at one point, "Mama, I need something."
" What do you need baby?"
" Mama, I need chocolate."

Right... you're never going to get that shit ever, ever again.

Because Daddy is going to eat your stash. Sorry kid.

PS, is this not the CUTEST?

I must be honest btw, after deciding to take the camera manual, I was struck with the realization (as I was chasing a toddler in the waning light) that it isn't going to be easy. At All. But, that's why we love Clickin Moms!

Clickin Moms - How I Got into Manual - GIVEAWAY

If you've been around the blog for a little while, you've discovered that I really like to take pictures. If you've been around the blog for a long while, you've discovered that my pictures have gotten a LOT better in the past year. Like, leaps and bounds better. I've learned to use my camera, I've learned a little bit about composition, and as of this weekend, I've gone into full manual mode.

For any professional photographer, this is not an astounding event. It's something that they all do. But seeing as how I'm not a professional and I'm still learning, this is HUGE. Its kind of challenging and some of them suck and some are great but I'm doing pretty well so far... see below for an example. They don't totally suck! YAY me. I feel like I'm back in photography class in high school.

One of the things that I credit with my ability to go manual is Clickin Moms. Have you heard of them? Do you know them? Have you checked out their super amazing website?? Clickin Moms is a community of over 8000 professional and amateur photographers who want to network, hone their craft, showcase some killer pictures or learn, like me. Their forums are amazing and I've heard their classes are awesome (They must be since they are ALWAYS sold out). Running the gamut from getting past the basics of photography, to intermediate/advanced Photoshop, they really have it all. And because of them I found the courage to throw the switch into manual and there's no going back.

I still have a lot to learn, but I know that if I have questions, or want to take classes, they can totally help me. AND, because they are so super amazing, they have given me a year-long membership to share with YOU!

It's pretty damn easy to enter...
