Image result for summer to fall transition memes
Hey, All I hope that your transition from Summer to Fall Has been less stress than Mine.


Is my Favorite Time of the year.
It also is a bit easier on my Lupus Flares and I can go outside more.

 I am now a mother of a college student.
 I am beyond Stressed, frustrated and a little sad.
Due to My Lupus, I was Unable to make the trip to drop him off. I hugged him outside and then he was gone. I guess my head is expecting him to walk through the door. 
This is my Kid that Isn't big on Social Media Or Texting or  Calling. 
So needless to say I don't know anything really.
 I only have a photo of his Bed. lol
Needless to say, I am Going Crazy!!
First Kid Out the Door Since Graduating.

 He does now have a Snapchat so I guess I should be Happy, But Now he just Needs to post on it...
 I should add also, I am very Happy and Proud of the Kiddo. 
(I don't know why we were standing right in front of the sun. lol)

 He's a LumberJack Now.






Anyway, Back to the Topic....
Let's review this month's Ipsy Bag 
The theme was Good Vibes Only 
All about the universe, peace and love and Magic 
The Bag was pretty awesome and definitely something I  would reuse.
Peace,Love and Lipstick
*1st product I received was a Color Corrector in the shade pistachio
  from the brand- Aurora 
this is a green shade which is good for helping  conceal any ruddiness or in my case my Lupus Rash 
The only problem I had was it caked up on me one day but other than that I think it works great. 
*2nd product is a coconut Blush Duo from the brand -Pacifica
 this has two beautiful shades of Blush 
Beaming- is a Muted Terra Cotta Shade
  Tenderheart- is a Soft Subtle Mauve
These blushes are coconut infused, anti-aging and they blend like a dream, you can build them up for a more intense color payoff. They are Beautiful giving you a look like a glow from within.
*3rd product is a sample size mascara The Excessive Lash
from -Make Up Forever
This is a dark black shade the formula is supposed to give you a fanned-out look with a wide -eyed effect. This formula has soft and hard fibers to layer and builds up lashes w/out clumping them.
-I am not a huge fan of this mascara.
 I have thinning Eyelashes Due to medications I take for Lupus.  I tried this formula with a primer and it looked okay it did give a bit of volume but not enough to make me run out and repurchase it.
*4th product is an Eyeshadow in the shade 
Taj Mahal
 
from the brand -Be A Bombshell Cosmetics
This is a gorgeous metallic shade with subtle gold shimmer.
The formula is buttery soft and blends like a dream. 
I wear this by itself with a light Brownish crease shade and it is amazing,
 Does not crease on my eyes no matter how long I am wearing it. 
I would love to try out more shades from this line.
*5th product is a Skin-Clarifying Mud Mask
from the brand -Formula 10.0.6 
I haven't used this as of yet so I can't give you my thoughts. 
It is supposed to be a tingly mask that gets to the clogged pores and removes them. It does have an amazing Strawberry smell with a hint of rosemary. I will let you know how I like it when I try it.

That is everything in my Bag So now let's see what Jayedybug Got.

*1st product is a sample size of Eyeshadow in the shade Willkommen
 
  From the brand -The Balm
This brand is awesome and the packaging is adorable.
 This eyeshadow is a gorgeous, almost Deep Caramel shade it is soft and easy to blend due to triple-milled pigments and it's cruelty-free and anti-aging.
*2nd product is a Heart of Gold Elixir
from the brand- GAV'EE Gold 
This will help fight environmental stressors while hydrating your skin super-fruits Mangosteen, Noni, Goji, and Acai help in reducing the appearance of wrinkles. 
Inside the formula is Purified 24k Liquid Gold
 ..WTHeck ..
The package is too cute nice and sparkly the formula smells amazzzing and makes your skin feel super soft.
*3rd product is a shimmer bronzer in the shade Flush
 
from the brand- Hikari Cosmetics
This is a 4 in one product you can use each shade separately or swirl them all together for one look. 
This can be used as a highlight, eyeshadow, blush contour whatever you choose 
 High pigmented colors that blend easily and stay put.
*4th product is a mini Universal Brow Pencil in Taupe
 from the brand- Paula Dorf Cosmetics
This is a universal shade it's blendable and makes your brows look filled in and natural.
*5th product is a Precision tip liner in black
  from the brand- Steve Laurant
This is an in a rose gold tube, it has a fine tipped waterproof liner, which really is water resistant, sweat proof and will stay put.
This is all the products that we received. 
Any catch your eyes? 
Another great bag for the month. Excited for Next months.

Lupus thoughts and Ramblings June 25th

Hey there.  I hope you are staying safe and sane in this crazy world.  It's a lot to stomach for anyone. I can't go crazy.  I already am!        Serious question? When do you tell your family that their joking around has become hurtful?  It's to the point where I feel like I am in high school again, trying to compete for their love and attention. I am 45 yrs old and feel like I am treated like a child at times. I am told that I am too sensitive and that I take things out of context, that I should just take it, and know they are playing.  Every night it's a roast the hell outta mom till she cries or locks herself in the bathroom so no one would see.  it's not like anyone would care to be honest.  I could cry for hours and no one would even flinch.  When did I become invisible, and so small that it doesn't matter if I am even around?  I am ignored when I am trying to be a mother, I am ignored when I try to let people know ho...

Let's talk showers

  Let's talk showers  No, not the kind that falls from the sky when it rains. No, not meteors, but regular showers people take to keep clean. A regular person is in the shower up to 5-10 mins maybe 15 at the most. Well for someone with Lupus, MS and Fibromyalgia it's so much longer. For instance, it took me almost an hour to shower the other day. Why is this you ask? Well, I can barely stand on my own, and do things like lift my hands to shampoo my hair without being so exhausted I have to sit down.  So it begins, the clock ticking away. *10 mins gone * sitting down. Once I finally can I stand back up and commence the ritual of the shower  but wait, after *10 more mins* I need to take a breath before I pass out (literally) it takes sitting down and breathing slowly to make it not feel like my heart is going to leap out of my chest.  I look at my handy dandy Fossil smartwatch and it says my BPM is 140 which I believe.  I try to slow down my breathing, a...

Lupus thoughts and Ramblings

I found this from April25th 2019 and somehow it never posted so I thought I would just add it here because I know that a lot of you are struggling this way also. You are not alone at all. I am starting to realize that sometimes even the sweetest kind of person can belittle you and hurt you with their words.  I recently had a day where I was told "Try to Keep Up" on the day I was struggling to walk, and in the most pain due to lack of pain medication s. It cut me to my core.  I would like to think that I am a good person and kind to everyone I meet. But recently it's been pointed out that people feel like I make whatever is being talked about and turn it back to ME. I don't feel like the world is about me by far, I try to make everything about other people and leave me out of it all.  I am not the kind of person that I want to have the spotlight on myself, it makes me uncomfortable because I want to do things right. I know it's crazy being a "Leo" it...
