I haven't blogged in forever. I'm not sure why but I think it stems from drama in the makeup world. I know, it's sparkly pretties, how can there be drama? But believe me, there always is room for it. That being said, I feel like I need to go back to my blogging roots. I started this page with the intent to share my beliefs, encourage others or maybe even rant now and again. But my insane love of all things pretty kind of took over.
My posts became more about beauty than I meant for them too. I abandoned my muse and I have to find her again. I'm not saying reviews and makeup looks will disappear. I'm just saying there's more to me than glitter...

I'd like to thank all the little people...
So the lovely Magdalene at I'm Not Skinny, So What? hooked me up with some awards, big thanks to her!!! I needed something to kill time on while I wait for the laundry to buzz :D
Look at my shiny trophies!
Here goes... 21 things about myself
1. First and foremost, I am a Christ follower.
2. I have the best husband ever. No really, you make think your husband is, but it's okay to be wrong sometimes, hehe
3. My daughter is like a mini me, in looks, personality and her dry sense of humor. I love her!
4. I love playing with makeup, and have lately been getting really into Indie companies like
Shiro and Riche, and I'm expecting my first shipment from Madd Style Cosmetix and Moi Minerals very soon :)
5. I am terrified of clowns. No one should smile like that all the time...
6. My favorite color is purple, in any incarnation. Deep, pale, pinky or blueish, I love them all!
7. I lost my mom almost seven years ago, and some days it feels like it was just yesterday.
8. I love my brother and sister in law and can't wait to see them when I go on vacay :)
9. I really don't like cleaning, but am learning to fill the role of a stay at home mom.
10. I play World of Warcraft, probably more than I should. It has caused me to lose more than a few hours of sleep because I stay up too late *yawn*
11. I get to babysit one of the most adorable one year olds ever, Reagan. I love her like she was my own. Now that it's summer, I get to watch her big brother too, they are so cute together.
12. My favorite scripture is 1 Corinthians 1:18 "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God"
13. I have a new found freedom in Christ and am free of task based relationships.
14. I drive a toaster. Well at least that's what I call it, it's really a Scion xB.
15. I'm a little worried about going on vacation and coming home to a dead garden. We have tomatoes, bell peppers, squash, zucchini, green beans and tons of herbs :/
16. The font keeps changing as I type this and it's getting on my nerves, grrr.
17. I love me some coupons. Grocery shopping will never be the same again!
18. I have three tattoos and can't wait to get more.
19. I could eat Mexican food every day. No joke, I'm always up for some burritos :)
20. There are a lot of home improvements I would like to make, starting with painting the rest of my living room and redoing the guest bath.
21. I actually like doing these types of things and now the laundry has buzzed

Confessions of a closet girly girl
Stands in front of crowd and admits "Hi, my name is Melissa and I like pretty things."
I like playing with makeup, painting my nails and horror of horrors, I even like sappy chick flicks! I'm not your typical girly girl though. My idea of a great night could include running some dungeons with my husband in WoW or watching a scary movie, hanging with my family or on rare occasions going out with my friends, or trying a new hair color!
Speaking of hair color, it is currently blonde, with some red and pink (see my profile pic). I usually do my own hair, but this time decided to go to an actual salon! And I am so glad I did. The blonde and intense red has such dimension that I don't think I could have achieved on my own, and I love it! I've done several different color combos in the past. But by far my favorite is blonde and red.
I also got to break out my Urban Decay eyeshadow "Gash" which is an awesome brickish red which looks supa fly with my hair LOL! Okay, enough random rambling for now, have a great weekend my friends!!!
