What's in the Maskcara Beauty Pro Kit?

Okay, so after so many months of going back and forth on being an Artist for Maskcara, I decided to do it. I promise I won't be spamming you with things, but I will try to just link the colors that I use on me or others in blog posts or the occasional deal on my Instagram Stories! I say occasional, because I am not a huge fan of selling things. I like to just do my thing and not be tied down to one product, but since I've been using this for so long and talk about it anyway, I figured it wasn't a crazy idea! If you are wondering what is in the "Pro-Kit," here we are! I go through it in the video below, and the items are listed below the video in this post. I filmed it a couple of days before Christmas, so it was kind of like an early Christmas since who doesn't like getting new makeup!? Haha! Hope you had a great Christmas with Family and Friends!<3

Ship Shirt

Today on my Instagram stories, Tom was saying that my shirt looked like I belong on a ship! Haha. He was cracking me up. I can't even do it justice here, but I decided I liked the shirt, so it stayed on. Haaha! A few of you were asking about it, so HERE is the link. I would size UP. The bust runs a little tight. I'm in a medium and it fits well in the sleeves and lengthwise, but I would have gone to a large if I knew! Haha. I went straight from being outside in the SNOW to taking some pics! There is snow for Christmas in the Beehive State! Happy Christmas Eve Eve!

Magic

Today, my sweet 19 month old was sad in her crib. Sometimes when I know she’ll go back to sleep, I’ll let her stay in and wait it out. But today, I decided to get her out and snuggle. I sat her on the couch, felt her soft face, swept her sticky hair over her ear, told her stories, and talked to her about things that matter to her.

Then I realized: When is the last time we looked our children in the face? Not just saw, but presently looked. No distractions, nothing except gentle whispers, smiles, and studying the curves of their cheeks, the pout of their lips, and the magic in their eyes? Remembering special moments you’ve had. Remembering the pregnancy or the process it took for them to be sitting in front of you.

How easy is it to get SO busy, SO caught up in things that need to be “done” that we forget how rejuvenating it is to reconnect with our special and most important connections in Motherhood. Or even further—become frustrated and fall out of love with something we had wanted for so long. Or just become tired. Aren't all moms at least a little bit tired?

As kids grow and begin to walk, run, and play, it takes more thought to stop them, scoop them up in our arms, and sit in stillness. It fills your soul, and it infuses gratitude and a sacred feeling of love and stewardship over these tiny humans.

I hesitate to ever sounding “preachy,” but want to say: If you haven’t done this recently, do. I promise you’ll fall in love all over again.<3

I wrote a little blog post today, but wanted to share a little bit here, because it was one of those moments in Motherhood that are my favorite.💕 "I sat her on the couch, felt her soft face, swept her sticky hair over her ear, told her stories, and talked to her about things that matter to her.

Full Coverage with Maskcara Makeup + Link to Site

I don't usually love using a lot of full coverage makeup, because it feels like a lot, can be a lot of work, and covers many of the natural features of your face. BUT, this month, I've been ALL about it, because: POSTPARTUM ACNE. {Insert wide eyed emoji.}
I had one of you sweet Mamas ask if it was a good makeup for full coverage, and I hadn't tried it up to that point. Now, I think I've figured out how to do it in a way that works for me!:) I hope this helps if you feel like you could use a little bit of extra coverage!

Gifts for Men!

Okay, here we go! A shmorgusboard {<---is there even a way to spell that!? Haha!} of manly gifts. Currently hoping my hubby does not read this, since it shows pretty much has everything that he will find in his stocking or wrapped up with his name on it! Hahaha! {The suitcases are for both of us!} Anyway, I know sometimes men can be tricky to shop for, so if you're still looking for some last minute gifts ideas, here we go! Our Anniversary and Christmas are the same week, so I kind of do all of it together, if we even do Anniversary Gifts! Haha. I have been so pregnant and presents were way far in the back of my one-track nauseous mind!;)

Also, the pictures should be clickable and take you right to the product! Also, I got him a custom tie from 21 Rhinos with a picture of us on the back! You can use the code TheDaintyPear for a discount! They ship super quickly, but if you're planning on one of those for Christmas, I would do it now ASAP!:)
