A.D.D., Packages, Instagram OH MY!!

First of all, I want to stop and send my prayers out to all those in Boston who were involved or knew someone in the bombings yesterday. There were a couple people from my work there supporting a family member who was running but word is they were unharmed, just shaken up. I just cannot imagine how scary it must have been.


Today's post is going to be a bit A.D.D. with a little overflow from Makeup Monday. Work was a bit crazy yesterday and I have a feeling today will be too. So here we go...I seriously love getting mail! Well, as long as it's good mail, not bills or junk, duh! :) Yesterday I received another package from e.l.f. and even thought I already knew what was in it, I felt like a kid at Christmas!! It's just so rewarding to get amazing products for so little $$$. Eek! I just want to wear it all!!

Have I ever mentioned that I love nail polish, too?! The four that I received in my package yesterday are all glitter polishes that I can't wait to use on accent nails! You know, like, you paint four fingers one color and one finger with a pattern or glitter, etc...making it the accent nail. I'm sure you've seen it on Pinterest or Instagram. Speaking of, I'm officially on Instagram now! (You can follow me: @jenstecker) I tried hard to stay away but it seems like fun so I'm giving it a try!

Thanks for baring with my A.D.D. today!~Jen

Makeup Monday: Essential 12-piece Eyeshadow Beauty Book

Happy Monday! I know, I know...it's the beginning of a work week for some of us, but I'm happy because it's a Zumba day! I love Zumba! It's the only workout that I've actually stuck to for longer than a week, and that is saying a lot! But that topic is for another day :)

Anyways, I've decided to dedicate a few Mondays here and there to my new obsession: makeup. I especially love e.l.f.'s line because it is very affordable and great quality! I should also be getting another package from e.l.f. in the mail today with some new items, I'm so excited!!

So this week I'm going to talk about my eyes. I have really defined eyes and I always get compliments on them (my family likes to tell me their just really big, ha!), so I'm loving the Essential 12-piece Eyeshadow Beauty Book in "Classic" that I bought for just $5.00. It has 12 different colors lined up in 3 rows that go from light to dark of a certain color palette. This morning I used the second row, light pink to a plum-ish color. Some days I will mix and match the rows depending on how I feel or what I'm wearing that day.

I will try to get a picture up of how it looks on my eyes, but for now it's off to work for me! Hope everyone has a great day and remember...

Stay sassy but classy! ~ Jen

UPDATE: See picture below of my eye makeup today. It's not great but until I figure out a better way, this is it :)
