The last touch is the hair tied in a high pony and a bobby pinned bouffant, finished by the red bandanna
used to keep her hair back during makeup application!

I hope everyone enjoyed the makeup tutorial!
It was very much Impromptu!
This is my little cousin Taran, she is an aspiring makeup artist who is going to have a beauty channel
on YouTube soon! I'll keep you posted!
She has been staying with me for the past few days and I thought this would be a fun little blog to do!
  
Sorry for the inconsistent lighting, the clouds couldn't make up their minds today!
Over all I thought it went well and she is so pretty without makeup she doesn't have to do much!
I can't take credit for any of the hair and makeup! She did all of it herself, I just took the pictures and wrote the blog!
;) But I make guest appearances in her eyes if you look close enough!

Here's to trying new things and having fun while you do it!

Aw, shucks! For me?!

 Corn, it's what's for dinner! 

I was the 1999 Jr. Corn shucking champion...

 not really but I bet if I had competed the title would have been mine!

Here's a weird fact about me, I used to only eat corn if it was on the cob! 

Preferably right out of my grandfather's corn patch.

I turned my nose up at any corn that came in a can, not because I was a snob,

I just didn't like the taste!

 If you have never had fresh corn I HIGHLY recommend it! 

You can taste the freshness and shucking it is half of the fun! 

Not to mention how pretty the husks are!

And maybe I just always loved Pocahontas to the point of only eating corn the way she gathered it in the Disney movie!

I know, it's ridiculous but I think I thought I was every Disney princess at one point or another! 

Except maybe.... Nope, every single one of them!

Either way it's still my favorite way to eat corn and I've matured, I can eat corn from a can now

...sometimes! ;)

Sorry if you read this and thought "why is she talking about corn?"! 

I just think it's pretty and delicious! 

In a round about way it was an Outfit of the day since you got to see my outfit I wore shopping!

I bought a new skirt today so I'll do a post about it as soon as I wear it! 

It's pretty fierce!

Creek Life

My outfit of the day! 

Just a few essentials for a day kayaking and canoeing on the creek with the family!

Sunscreen and a hat are a MUST!!! 

Protect your skin and stay hydrated, you only get one body so you should take care of it.

I have to admit that I ended up going with a different hat! 

My cousin french braided my hair for me which made the hat too snug for comfort!

But I took the picture before so sorry about that! ^_^

Today was spent on a beautiful spring fed creek with crystal blue water.

Most of my family went along and we had a blast! 

Sorry for the lack of pictures,

 I was too afraid to bring my camera without a waterproof housing!

We picnicked on a shady white sandbar 

while watching the children practice their swimming and canoeing techniques in the secluded bend of the creek we occupied. 

Of course I rolled down a small hill and assumed the position of a turtle on it's back,

giving everyone a good giggle and the wish that a video camera were present.

We made memories like we always do 

and like we will continue to do! 

Thank you to all of the soldiers who have ever served in the military and will serve in the future.

We are forever grateful to you.

Thrown Together

Do you like my necklace?! 

So this morning was one of those "I have nothing to wear" mornings. 

I'm pretty sure most females have experienced what I'm talking about! 

You start with, "what am I going to wear today?"

That turns into, "No, not that, ew, why do I even own this?"

Then the panic sets in... I'm not going to find anything and I'm going to be late

and I'm going to be uncomfortable about my outfit decision all day! 

....Maybe that's just me???

But luckily I didn't progress that far today! 

 I have had both items for years now but I never wore them together.

**Fun Fact**

 I was actually wearing this shirt when I got my first kiss! 

I know, TMI, boys have cooties and all of that jazz!

It's a classic shirt and unless it gets ruined or something I plan on having it for many more years! 

The necklace is a recent purchase that I'm having a ball with! 

(I got it on sale at Dillard's) 

It gives this thrown together look a nice touch!

If you don't like wrinkles linen is not for you! 

I personally don't mind them but wrinkles are inevitable when wearing linen! 

Unless maybe you carry around a wrinkle re leaser or an Iron! 

Good Luck!!!
