Prelude: I know a lot of you used to read my twin sister Bonnie’s blog years ago.  She’s not quite ready to start a blog herself, so we are going to start doing “Twinkie Tuesdays” so she can update all our friends on her life.  She’s actually the one that got ME blogging!  I hope you enjoy the update and feel free to leave a comment and tell her HELLO! 🙂

Wowzers…it’s been a LONG time since I’ve Blogged! I miss it, & then sometimes I feel like I already have so much on my plate, that I can’t muster up the energy to start again. BUT, a lot of exciting things have happened in the past few years!

 

 

Let’s try to sum everything up the best I can… I moved back to Arkansas from Las Vegas, Nevada in November of 2012 to be closer to family. Going through a divorce after 7 years of marriage & moving home with an infant was so hard looking back, but God sure has blessed me since. I haven’t heard from Jarrett’s father (& that has been extremely hard, but I know is a blessing in disguise in the long run).

I met an AMAZING man named Vincent, whom I met through a mutual college friend. My friend gave Vincent my phone # & he didn’t text first – NOTHING. Just called! I was at the point in my life where I thought, “I don’t need a maannnnn!!!” But, finally after 2 weeks of talking over the phone & countless times of him saying “We really seem to have a lot in common, we should go out” & I kept turning him down (HA!), we finally went on our first date in July 2012. After that first date, I think the rest is HISTORY!

He is my King & I love him SO SO SO much. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me & Jarrett. He is a WONDERFUL father to Jarrett & we are already in the process of making Vincent, Jarrett’s “Legal” Daddy. J.

Vincent is a HUGE Football fan, so that is definitely something I have had to get used to. Go STEELERS!!! Go HOGS!!! But, I have even decorated our living/dining room in sports theme, so I don’t think I’m doing too bad!!!We just recently got married on June 14, 2014, after almost 2 years of dating. I feel like I had my the “Dream” wedding I have always wanted.

We had it at Pavilion in the Park in Little Rock, Arkansas. It all went by so quickly, but it was a wonderful, joyous time to spend with our friends & family. Hopefully I can post more pics of the wedding maybe next week?

(Sorry for the blurry pic…it was dark)

This weekend we took Connor to see How to Train Your Dragon 2.  It was SOOOOOOO cute!  I think I liked it better than the first one 🙂

Studio Movie Grill just beautifully remodeled the theater in Colleyville.  The theaters are spotless and the menu is SO good!  My favorite is the duo dip:  spinach dip, salsa, and queso.  It is enough to share with a couple friends too.

If you are looking for something fun to do with the kids this summer they have lots of fun things going on!

Today I’m going to share some favorite makeup STUFF I use. And by stuff I mean the freakish hoarding of makeup I’ve been collecting over the past year.

One recent favorite is this LAQA & Co. lip pen I got in my Birchbox this month.  I never in a million years thought I would like a purple lip color…but I’m absolutely loving this bold punch of color for summer.

I’m often switching up foundations. Right now I really like this product called “The Big Easy” by Benefit.  It goes on smooth like a liquid foundation, but also gives you the finish of a powder. 

I own at least 4 of these LipSurgence pens from Tarte. They are super hydrating and the color pigment is fab!

This Batiste dry shampoo for blondes is great for days when I don’t want to wash my hair….we all have those!

I’ve been using this concealer by MakeupForever for forever. It’s the best under-eye coverage I’ve found and I’m sticking with what works!

The best makeup brush I’ve bought by far is this tapered eye shadow blending brush from Chanel.  I’ve had it for at least 8 years and it’s still going strong.  It’s perfect for blending shadow in the corners of your eyes.

I can’t live without my Teez w Eez. This is the best tool for getting the perfect poof!

Loreal “Butterfly Effects” mascara works WONDERS! It works better than some mascaras I’ve spent $30+ for….

And last but not least is my favorite poofing powder.  Got2B Powder’ful is amazing!  It holds your hair and lifts it up!  Beware…once it’s in your hair it’s cement.  You have to wash to get it out.  I sprinkle a tiny bit on the back of my hair and that’s it!

OMG y’all thanks for letting me share a bit of my makeup routine with you!  I’m no expert but I love to play beauty school like a 7-year-old!  ha ha!

My favorite tune for this weekend is Sara Barealles “I Choose You”.  If you haven’t heard this song yet Spotify it RIGHT NOW!

HAVE A FAB WEEKEND LOVELIES….XO BECKY

This past week has been non-stop!  Connor and I left early last week for my sister and Vinny’s wedding in Arkansas.  It was a beautiful wedding, I have some pictures…but I wasn’t the photographer and I didn’t pull out my camera much so I could enjoy the experience more.  I’m so happy Bonnie has found happiness and Jarrett has a great father figure in Vinny.

The wedding was beautiful and full of all things pink, which if you know my sister PINK is right up her alley.  We had a nice visit home and got to see relatives we haven’t seen in a good while.  That’s always nice!

Bridesmaids:

It’s almost like I need a vacation from vacation you know? Coming back from a hectic week (even though you “were” on vacation) it feels like you weren’t.  My Mom and Dad helped so much with the boys.  Connor thought we were going to a ball and he and Jarrett had a lot of fun dancing on the dance floor.

I’ll recap more soon with some official pictures…in the mean time it’s back to the daily grind!

…YAWN……
