How I do my own eyelash extentions

I don't know why I never thought of doing a tutorial before on how I do my own eyelash extensions because I gets asked who does them ALL THE TIME!!
but here it is.
First off do not think about using strips of eyelashes!!!!
You will literally rip your eyelashes right out!

I consider myself somewhat of an expert only because I've tried it ALL!!!
I know at many salons they use single eyelashes where there is literally only one single lash
but for me that was WAY to time consuming and silly 
So I ended up using the clumps of lashes pictured above
Plus they are WAY cheaper than the singles and you can get them anywhere like Walmart, Walgreens, Shopko etc.
They only cost about 3.00
I use a combination of medium length (which I can only find at Walgreen's)
and short length.
I use mostly short length with some med length sprigs on the outside of my eyes.

I order my eyelash glue online at Discount eyelashes
Believe me when I say it's permanent so be careful.
Depending on how sensitive you eyes are you will need to choose accordingly
I personally use the sensitive eyelash glue found here

I maintain about every few days and just fill in if I need it.

Please let me know if you have any questions!!!
Sorry if this was a bit short but...
I have to run
I'm headed to some fun in the sun with my man!
GOOD LUCK BEAUTIES!
muah!

I'm baaaaaack!



Wow talk about a crazy phase
the last few months have been 
bananas!!
in every sense of the word

I just sent my cute lil' cuzzie pooh back to her home in Nevada
I miss her already

We did a saucy little photo shoot while she was here
and the pictures turned out absolutely beautiful
I could be happier or more jealous of her and her rockin bod!
Pics that are approved will be posted in the near future.

Back to real life
which means back to my blog
which means back to my obsession with design 
here is a room I'm drooling over right now
complete room makeover found here


my new thrift shop mission is a liquor stand like this:

Is the end near?

I have been thinking a lot lately about my blog
and if I want to continue
I enjoy blogging so much 
sooo....
I'm sure you're thinking, "then why would you stop?"
The answer quite simply is the lack of regularity

As wonderful as it is to send my thoughts and inspirations into cyber space
I feel like there are those of you who actually follow my crazy journey through this thing called life
I feel like I let you down because of lack of regular posts :(

I think my best blogging is about my life
I know I enjoy sneak peaks into other's lives 
I like to see how they live, dress, and etc, etc, etc.
It's just SO hard to keep current pics on my blog!
Maybe I'm super slow-mo but it sometimes can take hours to edit and 
design material for the ol' blog!!!

You can't tell me you've never secretly stalked (good stalked of course) a friend on facebook or insta
hmmmm???
I only point fingers because I'm guilty myself
confession: it's one of my fav things to do!!
AHHH there I said it!
believe it or not I get so many ideas from others!

The jury is still out
sometimes I just enjoy getting my thoughts into words
thanks for the listen

I will keep you posted!!
