Freelance Housewife
VS. 
I'm taking a quick break from cleaning to write down some quick thoughts. Last night, while laying in bed, thinking too much per usual, I contemplated the two dynamics of the life I wanted, one being free and young, with as little responsibility and commitment as possible, the other a domestic family life of kids, marriage, cooking, stability, and routine. These two dynamics have been fighting each other in my head for pretty much my entire adult life (all 6 years of it) , and usually ends up making me all Sylvia Plath -Like, and I just watch depressing movies in a stupor.
Then last night, it dawned on me. Why can't I have both? I mean, can't I travel the world, but still be happy to come home to my own home and family? Can't I cook, clean, craft, and be a good 'housewife' while never needing to get married or needing to 'settle down' and buy mom jeans? I think so.
I just need to rationalize having a balanced life, which is something my brain has never accepted. I love extreme comfort, or extreme challenge. The in-between of both worlds is foreign to me, but I will learn the language.
That being said... Look at this kick ass lunch I made....
Taco Cupcakes!
YUM!!!

Queen of Hearts!
So, my work was holding a costume competition, which was my ultimate excuse for going all out for my costume!
I was running around like crazy last night trying to get a costume together, and I think it turned out ok... I better win this damn competition!
My Makeup
I started with a moisturizer, a good primer, my foundation, and then used Ben Nye Cream Color in White to pale out my face, and white out my eyes.
Then, I did my eyeliner. I used a waterproof pencil to do my top and bottom water lines, then liquid on top. I did a dramatic brow with setting gel, and a dark shadow ( Dark Horse by Urban Decay)
Then the finishing touches!
I used a Ben Nye blush for a dramatic cheek. Then, I glued on strip lashes, and went over it again with liquid liner. I used NARS lipstick in Red Lizard to draw on my heart lips, and last but not least, used pencil liner to add my heart!!
(I just realized I'm looking up and away in all these pics. Whatever. Must have been something interesting over there)
The Hair
I styled this wig a few weeks ago, and just added the ribbons to the ponytail.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
I made this hair piece last night to snazz things up : )
I also added pearls to the wig after it was on my head!
I made these cuffs to match!
I also made these earrings. I couldn't find any big enough for my liking, so I found crystal buttons, and made it work!
Finished and working!
Then, My Mom decided to borrow my costume, so I got to do her makeup!
She's so beautiful!
Happy Halloween!!!

some people.
so it's finally halloween weekend! yippee! i've been waiting for this weekend for...well... 364 days! the general feeling towards halloween is pretty low-key around here (I got 1 response to my halloween party invitation) which left me feeling pretty sad. but i've got a super awesome boyfriend who knows when something is important to me and his fun, creative self is dressing up right along with me. Halloween sticks-in-the-mud go elsewhere! (and lighten up! jeesh)

i heart pumpkins.
tonight zach had guy time and i did some supremely fall things. i ran home from work so z and i could have a quick dinner of chicken corn chowder over biscuits (YUM) and then he headed out for the night. i took one look at the giant pumpkin on my desk and thought: tonight, you're mine pumpkin!
i wanted to do something different than the typical jack-o-lantern so i pulled out my yarn and started wrapping the pumpkin. i then cut some blocks and triangles out of the top to let the light shine out. i used a vanilla pumpkin candle on the inside to get the pumpkin smell in the house too! But the best part? THE ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS! this is my dream snack.
(i like how it kind of looks like a cheeseburger!)
i have a special method for quick pumpkin seeds:
rinse the seeds in cold water
add seeds to a pot and bring to a boil
**important: add a good amount of salt to the water before boiling
let simmer for 5 minutes
drain seeds
lay out on a roasting pan that has been drizzled with olive oil
roast for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
PERFECTION.
magic hat brewery and artifactory.
my parents visited last weekend and i like having at least a loose itinerary so they can see lots of things on their overnight stay. this most recent visit had us visiting the Magic Hat Brewery in Burlington. it was so stinkin cool. while i don't love Magic Hat beer, the brewery and sampling room was totally awesome. it was packed and we had a fabulous time.

BOO!
Halloween is approaching quickly. Our plans involve:
Horror Movie Trivia at the Savoy. Super spooky movie clips guaranteed to make your jump. It's at 9pm instead of 5 so it's extra witchy. We're dressing up in these Mamelok paper masks. They look so creepy on. Which ones do you think we chose?
Saturday we're dressing up too! Having people over then heading to the diviest bar in town. I'm bringing back the peacock because the tutu is just so badass. I got some killer blue feather eyelashes. I'm ready.

Makeup of the Day!
Todays Makeup inspiration:
Fresh, awake, and clean
Random adjectives, yes, but they work.
My take is a little different, but the same idea.
(LOOK! My hair is just long enough for pigtails! Yay long hair!)
What I used:
I started with a good moisturizer, like always.
right now, I'm using:
Dr. Brandt Pores no more anti-aging mattifying lotion.
*Good daily moisturizer, light, REALLY good for makeup prep.
Next, the primer:
Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Face Primer
*Not my favorite texture, but definitely does the job of keeping makeup in place!
Cargo Tinted Moisturizer
*Light, oil-free, very moisturizing, light coverage. I will be restocking in this soon.
Cargo Blu_Ray Powder
**I just need to express my LOVE and OBSESSION for this product. I am NOT a powder person. With dry skin and all, I tend to stay away from it, but this powder amazing. It literally makes your skin look airbrushed, and it is no heavier that any other powder. You can buff it on heavy for more coverage or you can apply it lightly for finishing ( or anything in between) and it is flawless.
It was the first line of makeup created for HD television (according to our training, they use it on Dancing With the Stars) and boy, I can see why!
Most makeup artists I work with use hundreds of different products from all over the world, from dozens of brands, and I am eager to get their opinion on this one.
Blush:
Coco Rose by Too Faced
*I LOVE this blush. Natural, brown/pink undertones. Almost like a pink bronzer. I wear a lot... I love my cheeks!
Eyes:
Brow-Zing brow kit in light by Benefit
Benefit Eye Bright Pencil
*A GREAT little tool to keep on you. Apply it on the inside and outside corners of the eye, the arch of the brow, and blend out. Instant awake eyes!
Mascara:
Loreal Double Extend Mascara
* My classic go-to cheap mascara. Never fails me.
Lips:
Philosophy Kiss Me Tonight Lip Treatment
* Though it's a little pricier ($20!) I love that my lips soak up this treatment, and it doesn't taste like Carmex (yuck!) or feel like petroleum jelly (double yuck!). I wear morning and night and notice a definite difference. A winter must-have.
XOXO,
