Husband and Wife SUPERBOWL TRIVIA!

Ok, here goes!

SHE SAID - So...This Whole Blogging Thing

Derek and I hopped on this blogging-train not knowing what to expect.  We honestly had't even read many other blogs in general to know what 'type' of blog we wanted to be.  We just knew we felt compelled to start one to tell our family, friends, and basically anyone willing to read it about the good work of Dave Ramsey. 

Exactly 1 video and 3 posts later the DR-train got derailed, hah.  We weren't sure how best to get people excited about DR through our posts without sounding robotic about the 'Baby Steps' of DR, so we felt a bit discouraged and decided to let the blog 'rest' for a bit while we gathered our thoughts. (Honestly DR's books are written so well, the main point we can make is just READ THEM and let him get you excited!)

We had mentioned that the blog was going to branch off into our own personal interests in time in the 'Intro!' video...little did we know it'd branch off muuuuchhh sooner than planned, hah. As I've said multiple times, DR posts will.come.again.  

I promise.

But for now, let me tell you what I've learned this far this this whole blogging thing process...

SHE SAID - Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation Review

I spotted this stuff in a sale basket at KMart.  Yes, KMart.  Mine actually has a great selection of makeup!  I hadn't heard ANYTHING about this product before buying it...

watch the video to see if it's one of the best kept secrets in drugstore foundation...or not worth talking about.

SHE SAID - MAC Lipsticks First Impressions

All I can say is......why did I wait so long on these?!

Oh, right, I know, the crazy PRICE.  It's ridiculous. 

But is it worth it?...watch to see!

SHE SAID - Random Rambles (No. 2)

Alright fraannds,  right after I filmed this I thought of SO many other things that I wished I had shared with you, so I've started keeping an official RANDOM RAMBLES LIST (oooooh I's fancy!). What's on the list? You'll have to wait until next time to know...but for now, enjoy this little blurb of brain fodder in my current video.

(that sounded fancy too didn't it?)

SHE SAID - Bloopers No. 3

The screw-ups just keep a'comin.  And I wouldn't have it any other way...otherwise I wouldn't be able to deliver such gems as this!

SHE SAID - INGLOT Lipsticks Review!

So I'm reasonably well 'versed' in INGLOT eyeshadows...but it wasn't until our last trip to NYC that I decided to try their lipsticks.  Here's what I've got to say:

SHE SAID - Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Review

So I bashed a bit on the L'Oreal Butterfly...hear what I think about this one!

SHE SAID - A Book Review (whaaattt?!)

SO I’m changing the pace up today and doing something a liiiittle different. Ok, a lot different – but with a new year comes new goals, new ideas, and sometimes a new ‘you’ – and this book would be a GREAT one to start the year out with to set you on the right path.

Ok, for starters, let me tell you how I was introduced to this book. One of my coworkers felt led to do something “uncomfortable” for God this Fall. She felt challenged to step out of her comfort zone, so she led a Bible Study group at our work.  I, along with a few other women jumped at the chance and thus were introduced to “Unglued” by Lysa TerKeurst.

I could sum up “Unglued” by saying it’s a ‘good self-reflecting book’…but that wouldn’t be doing it justice. It’s SUCH a ‘good self-reflecting book’ that it deserves its own blog post.  “Unglued” is a compilation of stories of where Lysa had come ‘unglued’ (aka frazzled, angry, bitter, loud, nasty, manipulative…etc., etc. you get the point) – and how she’s taken time during the moment/after the moment to reflect on WHY she became that way and her ongoing struggle of becoming a better person.

Let’s face it, we all react and think negatively ALL THE TIME. Wouldn’t you like to change that? With reading this book I’ve found myself digging deeper within to figure out why I think this, why I dislike that, why that person annoys me, why I’d like to create a voodoo doll of this person (ok, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea).

Lysa’s writing style has a friendly-feel and is super easy to read. While reading the book for my Bible Study I only read the assigned chapters for each session as opposed to reading the book all the way through at once. If you do pick this book up, I recommend doing a slower-pace reading (even if you’re reading by yourself) so you can take a few days to reflect on what you’ve read/make notes/let it sink in before moving on to the next chapters.

While I don’t think you need to be in a group setting to gain a plethora of self-reflecting-goodness from this book, I do think it was beneficial to hear other people’s reactions to the chapters…so if you ever need a second persons perspective – I’m here! Seriously, I’m here.
