mondays with mark: Halloween treat!

(image by mint.com) Here is a treat for all of you candy lovers! I came across a yahoo article (no link sry!). The candy you like can tell a lot about your personality. Now this was done by scientists, you measure the accuracy. 1- Reese's cup and other chocolate peanut combos= you are creative, private, and misunderstood. 2- Granola= you are caring 3- Candy bars= throw a mean party and makes friends in every situation 4- Gummy bears= creative, artistic, impulsive I tried this test on some of my co-workers and they did not agree with their results. I love snickers (candy bars). This seems accurate haha! What about you? Is this accurate? Let me know below in the comments! For Halloween this year I dressed up was a witch. My makeup for this witch look was inspired by Hocus Pocus and the stereotypical witch. Instead of a green face and crooked teeth I went for more of a cute look. With it being Halloween I went bolder on my lips and eyes! Eyes: wet n wild #886 ey...

fall harvest family fun day

This past weekend we gathered with my co-workers and family for a BBQ. It was a great afternoon for hotdogs and burgers. The kids got to decorate pumpkins and the grown ups played relay games. Brought back field day memories! Only WAY more hilarious with us at our age playing them. Brooke and I had fun. She is just precious! I think she likes my hair! My boss aka the chef  I believe he is the most handsome boy ever. He may be our next president guys, remember this face! Ha!  "I'm done with the pumpkin. I think I'll decorate mommy" LOL Too cute! In Dizzy Bat race you may be prone to falling

It's really big and comfy! I have been searching for a good one. And I found it at Target. Lucky for me my birthday gift card covered it. It was at target for $18. I chose red, because the way Selena Gomez paired hers in different outfits. The scarf seem so versatile and won me over.

fall favorite

Fall is here on the East coast. You can feel the cold weather. Boots and coats are all out. I. Love. Fall!! ONLY the East coast can have the perfect fall for me. I love the colorful leaves most. The boys and I ventured out to Old Salem. Doesn't the town name make you want to curl up and watch Hocus Pocus! My fave Halloween movie. If you have not seen this movie, shame on you. Old salem was a new place for me. We walked around the town. The leaves were just starting to change, but it was such a nice Sunday afternoon. Ok here is a personal shout out. Today is one of my best frannnns birthday. I cannot be with her on this day because she is serving our country. And yes i'm mentioning this again on my blog. I cannot thank her and our soldiers enough! Happy Birthday dearest friend of mine!! Oh the hat i'm wearing is the boyfriend's gift to Dina for her birthday haha. We could not wait to show you (Dina) and sorry I could not ship it off to you.

little white dress and red pumps

Dress: Marshalls Clutch: Thrift Jewlery: Belks Shoes: Gift -Target I broke the rules! No white after labor day. Watch out im trouble lol. Just kidding. I'm seriously far from that. This white dress is one of my favorites! I think white should be the new black. I'm loving the little white dress instead of little black dress. Wearing white can also be risky. I went out to lunch with my friend and this gentleman was surprised I left without stains. Would you wear all white?

5 years.

My little cousin turned 5 years old. He is so precious!! Just seeing his face puts a huge smile on my face. This kid is the coolest. He likes playing with leggos and ninjas. And his brother stole my heart. He and I played basketball and soccer. OMG these boys are such happy kids. Their laughter is just contagious. I had so much fun with them for the entire day. I spent lunch and dinner with them. Some of the older folks made pizza. Home made pizza made me nervous, but the result was delicious. Dough does not seem easy to work with. You guys did good. After the party I was sooo full and exhausted. I had a very fun time in Cary with the family!

mondays with mark: something borrowed

Over the weekend I bought a couple of movies. I'm a movie addict. I love staying curled up in a blanket watching movies on a weekend. It has been a couple of busy weekends,this was a restful one. I watched the Royal Wedding on dvd (yes you can buy that on dvd lol) and Something Borrowed. I adored Something Borrowed starring Ginnifer Goodwin and Kate Hudson. Ginnifer is such a cutie! In this movie Rachel (Goodwin) falls in love with Dex, but has not told him. When she finds the courage to, Dex is already engaged to her best friend Darcy(Hudson)! Will she keep her love hidden to keep her childhood friend or will she go after her love?! What to do?!! Today I was inspired by Rachel's makeup in this one scene. Take a look.
