Dear...

Dear Sunday,
     Where are you?! I am ready to head out of town to see the Falcons play in the Georgia Dome. Eeeeek, so excited!

Dear Weather,
     80's all week, I love you!

Dear Life,
     Stop throwing so many curve balls. I don't know how many more I can overcome. I'm trying to stay positive. I want things to work out.

Love,
    Tiare

I'm ready, are you?

I have it. 

A severe case of FALL FEVER.

Such a fabulous time of the year.

Football (Go FALCONS)

(All the fab drinks)

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha

Hot Chocolate

(The weather)

Leaves changing colors

Crisp, clear, COOL air

(A few more reasons why I love it)

Holiday season

Wearing boots/fall fashion

It's like 79 degrees outside right now and it feels so good. I'm loving the cool weather, I was so done with the hot, humid, 100+ degrees. I'm definitely excited for fall.

Love,

Tiare

These Are My Confessions

I Confess: I can't stand ghetto females.

I Confess: I am scared of snakes. I never used to be until we moved to Alabama and I saw one outside of our house.

I Confess: I always use my straightener to curl my hair. It is so simple and takes just a few minutes! Love it!

I Confess: I miss my long hair. Cutting it is always a huge deal for me -- I love long hair. I wish it would grow back quicker.

I Confess: I need a vacation. The beach sounds fabulous!

I Confess: I can't stand skinny bitches who think they're fat.

Love,

Tiare

What's in my (Makeup Bag)

I decided to share what is in my makeup bag. Well, there's a lot more stuff I have, these are just the mains at the moment.

My (Main) Makeup Bag

The Sonia Kashuk brushes I use!

(The Specifics)

1.

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse in "Honey Beige-Medium 4"

(I will probably never wear this foundation again. It makes my skin feel more oily by the end of the day!!)

2.

L'oreal True Match Concealer in "Medium/Deep-W6-7-8"

(This has fabulous coverage)

3. 

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder in "101-Invisible Matte" 

(I prefer pressed powder over loose. That way I can always have it with me if I need a quick touch up)

4.

L'oreal True Match Blush in "Subtle Sable-W5-6"

(I love this color!)

5. 

N.Y.C. Sun 2 Sun Bronzing Powder in "Bronze Gold"

(I don't really use bronzer, but I use the lighter side as a highlighter)

6.

Sephora Makeup Palette

(I don't really keep this in my little bag, obviously, but I use it from time to time. I adored this palette at first, but I find myself not even using all of the colors! I want the Naked 2 Palette, but I feel like if I bought that without even finishing this, I'd be wasting money)

7.

Covergirl Liquiline Blast

(I don't remember the color, and it doesn't say it on the pencil! It's a dark brown though. Does smudge, but lasts long. I don't usually get pencil, I'm more of a liquid liner gal, but wanted to try something new)

8.

Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes in "Very Black"

(Mascara is one product I will try different kinds. I happen to like this one, but I always get a different kind when I purchase a new one)

9.

Wet N Wild Lipstick in "Just Peachy"

(For a natural looking lip)

10.

Maybelline Superstay Color

(I don't really use the color part, I bought it for Halloween one year. I just use the conditioning balm side for a glossy effect after I put on my lipstick)

BONUS.

L'oreal HIP Bright Shadow Duo in "Roaring"

(Not pictured, forgot. I don't use the blue side, but I use the brown side as a brow powder to fill in my brows)

Love,

Tiare

Who I Am...

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Who I Am...

I am...24 years old.

I want...a job! :)

I have...so much to be thankful for.

I wish...to find a job.

I hate...the way new parents post tons and tons of pictures of their newborn baby, as if he/she somehow looks so much different after a few hours have passed.

I fear...the dark!

I hear...the people on the TV (Man vs. Food)

I search...for diy ideas for our house :)

I wonder...what the future brings.

I regret...nothing because your past makes you who you are today.

I love...my husband more than anything.

I ache...being away from Micheal Jr.

I always...try to be better today than yesterday.

I usually...keep my feelings to myself.

I am not...a runner.

I dance...when no one is watching.

I sing...everyday.

I never...go to bed with makeup on.

I sometimes...want to start a fun new hobby.

I cry...every time I remember a lost loved one :(

I am not always...right.

I am confused...by the minds of some people in the world.

I need...to feel more confident.

I should...never stop trying.

Who are you?

Love,

Tiare

Oh My Boobs!

Shhhhh! Yes, I said boobs alright!

I notice in all my pictures that I take, my "new" cleavage is showing!

One bonus of being pregnant: your new "preggo boobs" are like getting fake boobs, but they are yours! With this new added "boob-age",  having to deal with the weight of pregnant boobs, I realized how much I need a good bra! Yes, when you're pregnant, boobs can weigh in at 2-5 pounds a piece...you need some major boob support. I need to find a comfy bra that doesn't squeeze out any back-fat, but still affordable.

From me and my new boobs,

Tiare

Our Pea in the POD!

Here is my first belly picture...

When: 18 weeks

We are so excited about this baby!!! 

Huge love,

Tiare & the little one

I've got BIG, BIG NEWS

I've got exciting and humbling news to share!

I had to wait and I'm writing this in my blog, because I didn't want to mention it on Facebook or something (I deactivated my Facebook account yesterday anyway, so now no one will probably even read this).

So for my news...

We are expecting a precious little baby!

This was not something we planned, (nor prevented either) but we are very excited about this new little baby on the way. I know that God knew this little one would be here long before I did, and that He already has wonderful plans for this precious little life with dreams, hopes, and a little personality all their own.

Our families are all so excited! Now Micheal Jr. will have a little sibling to watch over from Heaven. Every life is a blessing and I can't wait to show you this little precious when he or she (we already know the gender, but I'll keep that a surprise) arrives in February!

Huge love,

Tiare

Hubs in the Hot Seat

A little game that involves asking my husband some fun questions!

Here we go!

Tiare: If I had to pick one food to live on for a month, what would it be?

Mike: I dunno. Lol. (Dugh! Lol. Smh)

Tiare: What would you choose for yourself?

Mike: Pizza! I could fuck that shit up for a whole month. Lol.

Tiare: What is your favorite childhood memory?

Mike: I don't have any. Lol. Part of it cuz I don't remember any naturally. The other part cuz of being blown the fuck up. Lol. And part because I never had a real childhood memory. No friends, hardly any family, so no real memories. 

Tiare: What is your favorite physical feature of mine?

Mike: Your eyes. And you're short. Lol.

Tiare: What is your favorite personality trait of mine?

Mike: You're kind hearted.

Tiare: If you had to pick a cartoon character that reminded you of me, which one would it be?

Mike: The little cute girl duck in Duck Tales! Lol. (Now I have to watch Duck Tales to see who he's talking about! Haha. I never liked that show as a child)

Tiare: What movie has made you laugh like no other?

Mike: Omg that's a hard one. I HONESTLY can't narrow it down to one. I love all comedy movies. And shows. 

Tiare: Awh. Well what about just this year then?

Mike: Wth I've seen hella funny shit this year. Lol.

Tiare: Lol, fine. Describe me in one word.

Mike: Emotional. 

Tiare: If I found you procrastinating, what would I probably find you doing?

Mike: Thinking into the abyss. Thinking about everything and nothing. If I could I would sit there in silence but I hate absolute silence.

Love,

Tiare
