If you would have told me two years ago I’d be meeting the CEO of my company AT HER HOUSE I would have laughed my ass off at you. My how things change.

31 days of live videos!
So friends…tomorrow I will be attempting to GO LIVE for 30 DAYS talking about all sorts of BEAUTY-FUL THINGS.
My goal for these videos is:
- to be super short and sweet
- to keep my hot-mess-ness to a minimum 😂
- to bring some extra joy or laughter into your day!
Most of these will happen in my group, so if you’d like to join, now is the time!! You never know what will happen during my lives…and as a bonus there may even be some prizes at the end of the month!!
Surprise Google search result!
Ha. I googled H2OJ this morning looking for a cool picture/logo and look what came up. 😂 You really don’t expect to see yourself in a Google search result. (There are also more pictures of me down the page.)
Next up, drinks and Cards Against Humanity!
After dinner we went back to their house for some more fun…
Two personalized drinks from our lovely bartender.
One of my best wins of the night. 😂
Snow on April 27 is just stupid.
Here’s what I think about it (as we were leaving the restaurant after dinner with friends).
How long would you last?
So I finally just decided to get these photos up on the wall after two years. They were on the floor of our bedroom leaning against a wall for about a year…and then they got moved to the MBR closet…and then the hallway and then another hallway. 😂 I finally had enough…and I didn’t really plan or measure. 🤦🏻♀️ I’m not sure I’ll be able to stand it for the next two years…
These are on the menu for tomorrow night.
I finally found them! Adult ice pops! The only thing I don’t think I’ll like is that they’re “skinny” and those usually have a weird fake sugar chemical taste to them. But I’ll try them for science.
Illinois, I am DONE with you.
It was gorgeous today. But look at the forecast for tomorrow.
SERIOUSLY?!
A friend said she saw it as thought her app was wonky.
How could I NOT get this Easter basket?
I mean, with the post-Easter 70% discount it was $3.
The boy options weren’t nearly as cute but I got Owen a new one, too.
Just look at Owen’s lunch today.
So Owen is really great getting ready in the morning. He gets up on his own, showers, eats breakfast, and packs his lunch. I always have lunch stuff available like fruit, cheese, lunchmeat, and there’s always PB&J. They also have access to candy and know they can or a piece or two in their lunch every day.
Well this morning Katie discovered that Owen forgot his lunch. Out of curiosity I opened it.
ARE YOU F’ING KIDDING ME?! A handful of grapes and half a lunchbox of Easter candy?!
Yes he’s just being a kid, but now it makes me wonder what all his other lunches have been like and if I can trust him going forward.
Kids.
So here’s one thing I love about our makeup.
If you’re not sure what colors to wear together, you can actually use the same color on lips, cheeks, and eyes!! This keeps everything in the same color family!!
💜 I did it here with Purple Reign! Wear it by itself on your lips, and then mix it with Pearlizer for cheeks and lids! I did less purple for the blush and more purple for my eyes.
(Yes, Purple Reign isn’t very aptly named. It’s way more pink on most people. But the real life swatch is more purple. Go figure.)
Prepping my arm for wowing!
I had an event at a ladies day at a local car dealership so I prepped my arm with shadows (and my hand with lipstick) to WOW people. Aren’t they pretty?!
When your non-techy friend teaches you something!
I didn’t know I could use my Apple watch as a remote to take a photo with my iPhone. What?! So this was our test shot while we were talking shop.
Just not duplicatable.
When you try to duplicate a friend’s signature selfie smirk and you fail miserably but it’s still kinda cute. 😂
FAIL:

She shows you how it’s done!
The struggle is real, y’all.
They’re learning how to clean the sink tonight. This is what I found after moving cereal bowls this morning. GRRR.
It’s one of the best times of year!!
Easter candy is half off at Target! I texted Tom and he said when it gets to 70% I need to go back for more!
Kids and pets. Why?!
Owen came home, found a piece of garbage on the ground, played with it for a few seconds, then flipped it away and it landed here…and then he was off.
I’ve been outside mere minutes and Maggie is begging at the door to come out, even though she’s been in and out and in and out all day.
But at least it’s gorgeous out and there are no bugs.
Me and my boy.
We know a 2020 presidential candidate!
Tom texted me this morning to tell me that an old Marine buddy of his—Seth Moulton—is running for president! You might remember we ran into him a few years ago at a birthday ball… Just…wow!
Five years ago and today!
I saw the left pic in my Facebook memories (5 years ago!) and then Katie came down wearing the right so of course I had to recreate it!
She loves her bike basket!
She always has to take a doll to the playground. And you’ll notice we had to rig up a seatbelt for her. 😄
A good morning to relax in my egg!
And get caught up on some work and blog posts since the weather was so nice!
The Easter Bunny was here!
This year he left the eggs outside!!
Meat, meat, and more meat!
We may have had just a bit of smoked pork butt and chicken last night. I think we could have fed the neighborhood instead of just eight of us. 😂
And we let Maggie lick the platter at the end of the night and she REALLY got into it.
Pre-dinner party selfies!
We found Katie’s hidey hole.
This is where she sits with her laptop and the couch cushions have obviously pulled apart a bit.
Someone watched Leap this morning.
I finished the sushi!
I don’t have much time to spend on puzzles but I do enjoy them. Of course Katie wanted to help me but only did about 8 pieces overall.
This furry face.
When did he turn 16?
Owen loved his new sunglasses I got him for baseball. But why does he have to look so old?!
