BEAUTYful Tricks...

Recently Ive been OBSESSED. Its nothing harmful or any sort of thing, I'm just really getting more into beauty and fashion than ever before. I keep reading blogs, watching tutorials, reading magazines,watching television shows,and buying new products. I just love it. Its simple things that make you feel good about yourself.Plus its fun and helps others feel good too! One big inspiration to me right now is Kandee Johnson. I keep watching her YouTube videos and reading her blogs. I would love to do the things she gets to do. It seems like a wonderful, fulfilling, ever changing kind of life, and I would like one similar. It would also be wonderful to be able to afford the kind of makeup she uses. I don't see how people can afford to spend $30 on foundation,$20 on concealer,about another $40 or so on eyeshadow,mascara,eyeliner,bronzer or powder and lip gloss!!! If you have the money more power to ya!! I WOULD LOVE THAT!!! lol But shes just amazing. She has a great personality, very strong willed, crazy happy,and makes things happen for herself. lol I mean of course i don't want to BE her or anything like that. That's just absolutely CRAZY.. but were so similar it isn't even funny. . lol ANYWhoo.. So last night I did my nails, and my sister comes up and is like "Do mine, I like that" lol so I did them for her. I just did different colors ya know. Here are mine, and here are hers. They're the same design but different colors like I stated previously.
Heres mine:



what i used:

and my sisters:
what i used for hers:



Now let me tell you about this AmAzZzZzInG face mask i've recently been doing to clear my skin. Its an asprin face mack. Yes asprin, like the fever reducing,headache medicine,asprin. lol Its a very simple at home, cheap mask to do! The easiest steps also!

Heres what you do: (and what i did)



1. Get a little plastic bowl (like when you buy prepackaged applesauce)



2. Get 3-5 asprin (UNCOATED works the best)



3. Put some water in the bowl (Not too much)



4. Drop in tablets of asprin



5. Let completely dissolve



6. Put on your troubled spots first



7. Continue to put all over face



8. Let set for 10 minutes



9. Rinse with warm water



10.Dry your face!! (AND SEE THE AMAZING RESULTS)



Im telling you the first time I did this, I had broken out on the side of my face and the next morning I could see a difference in the area. Its gentle enough on my face that I can do it every other night or everynight even if I need to. And i have really sensitive skin. So you should really TRY this! It also makes your skin so soft, and makes your makeup look so smooth on your face.


Remember to be your own cheerleader, and bring more positivity into your life. Nurture your own sense of self. Have a great day!!!
Much Love <3

Wonderful Wednesday




This is how I did my eyes for the day. I took just a lite icy white all over the lid into the center of the brow line,then icy baby blue from the corner up to the middle and lined till the end, and for the center its a mocha brown. Blended a little and added eye liner to the lash lines, rimmed the bottom eyes, and applied mascara!! Sorry no outfit for the day. changed too many times lol




This is absolutely random but its a bowl of giant jelly beans! The best ever! Well honestly I'm not too big a fan of jelly beans but this little store in Wakarusa (the Wakarusa Dime Store) had these when my folks went the other day. I still haven't been there. I'm DYING to go though. They don't just have jelly beans, i guess they have all sorts of goodies!! But these just looked so cool together i just had to take a pic and show ya!!!

I went tanning, and walked a mile i feel better when i walk. I just wish the weather would stay nice so i could walk more often. I know this was a very short blog today but i really dont have too much to talk about at the moment. Well i do theyre just things im not at liberty to discuss.

Have a Happy day!!! Much love Kristy <3

Typical Tuesday...

So todays your ordinary Tuesday. The only difference for me is I have a different schedule at work than I usually do. lol Normally im 12-6 but today I had to close. Dont get me wrong i like closing but its just not the norm. haha Anywhoo.. heres my outfit for the day.





I couldnt decide what to wear today so I just threw this together. Plain Jane if ya ask me, I just added a little jewelry so it wouldnt be too plain. And my hair actually went the way i wanted it to!! I was EXTREMELY excited!! : ) Totally love how you can see my messy room in the background. haha



This is just a picture of my heart pillow. I love it! Its totally soft, and its cute because I love hearts!! Anything with a heart on it i have to have! lol i even have two tattoos that consist of hearts.




Cutest couple ever right??? hahaha I think Robert Pattinson and I would be the cutest couple!haha MOVE OVER KRISTEN! Just kidding (not). But on a serious note, I just got this shirt two days ago, I absolutely LOVE IT! Havent worn it yet. Im not exactly sure Iwill as of yet either. lol Just had to put this grand picture up just because. : )

Now these follwing pictures are pictures of lamps. Boring you may think, BUT you are WRONG!!! lol These are just ordinary lamps that i turned into EXTRAordinary. Its my thing. I love doing it. Heres my sample pix below------->





The first one here i just took the regular black lamp and put two separate necklaces along the top. (purchased the dangly one at Maurice's, and the diamond one at JcPenney), then at the bottom that is actually a compact travel mirror(bought it at Claires). Never woulda guessed would ya?? I just straddled it along the body of the lamp, and WALLAH!! Its the best one i think I've made so far. Now to the second one!



This is a black lamp with the zebra print shade. I love Kokopelli. He is an Indian God. I actually have a little bit of Indian in my blood, but i first learned about him through Alex Band formally of the band The Calling. This was a tad bit silly of me but he has a tattoo of Kokopelli on his left wrist and so do I. lol Its a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG story. Maybe ill write about it some other time. But anyways back to the lamp, I found this statue at a flea market, and HAD to get it! All i did was set it up against the body of the lamp and its been there ever since holding strong. You could also do this with any other statue. And the last lamp I did.




This ones a tad bit complicated. Its a zebra shaded lamp like the previous one, but i have a dangly necklace(also from Maurices), another Karma necklace(which i won at a go cart place in Ft.Wayne when we took my sis there for her birthday) and then a little yarn made bracelet. On top of that is the Victoria's Secret Pink tag that i got on one of the little doggies they had. Now on the body of the lamp you see multiple colors. That was also a bracelet and i just wound it all the way down, and taped it. lol Since i love fairies, my mom got me this statue so i set her there, and my name is Kristy so that's what the K statue is there for. you cant really see the other little thing on it, but its a little rock with a tiny statue of Kokopelli on it! And if your wondering if thats a person in the background?? Well its just my stand up of Edward Cullen from Twilight. hahaha I love making these ordinary lamps into EXTRAordinary! Its so fun. I would actually like to start selling some of them. If anyone is interested and has any ideas of ones they would like email me and ill see what i can do!! Well this is all for my blog today. Keep pushing on. You'll make it through one way or another. Much Love, Kristy <3

Monday Cruse





This is my outfit for the day!!! Today is Monday and since I'm off i decided to take a little Monday Cruse. Just around the country to show you some of the pretty sights you can see in my part of Indiana. lol Here goes!





This is just a cool little green house and gazebo that i thought looked fun. I would love to go up to it, but i was just wondering around and didn't stop. I totally should have though. One day.. Oh one day.





This here is the landfill. Where every ones trash goes! Nasty i know, but its actually a really cool thing to look at. Its so huge! When i first moved here dummy me thought it was a mountain when we passed it. But no its a stinky landfill. next comes the really pretty stuff!





Okay, okay, so I'm not a tree hugger or anything, its just when i see a really cool tree i have to take a picture of it! There just something relaxing about them. Its like art work to me. I definitely had to take a picture of this one because it looked so lonely out there all by its self. It's so wild to me that there ia one tree all by its self when there is all kinds of forest not far behind it. Makes you think doesn't it? Its just like our lives, when were alone but there are so many people out there who could be with you by your side, but they aren't. They're just in the background.






This isn't the best picture, but i just loved how the tree looks. It reminds me of one of those trees in scary movies when its raining and you see it rocking back and fourth in the shadows. ha ha The best is coming up... i promise!! lol







These are goats just doing what they do best. I love animals like this.





This is a beautiful horse i seen along the way. I would love to own a horse someday, but better yet what I'm gonna show you next i would also love to have even more.




This is a pony. Ive always loved pony's. The awesome thing about this guy here, is that i get to see him and a few others (including baby's!!!) everyday when i go to work. Well almost everyday. Sometimes they're not out, which i guess it just depends on the weather really. But they are so adorable it isn't even funny. Its wonderful when i pass by and i see the mama and her little one all nestled up to one another. I just love it. It makes my heart warm!! : ) After my Monday cruse i took, i picked up my sister from school, then we came home and later we shot a video for our YouTube channel. Haven't finished editing it yet, but it should be up tomorrow or Wednesday the latest so make sure you check it out! www.youtube.com/user/richgigirlz Theres ALWAYS something new and exciting on there. Keep your spirits up even when you know they're down. Things are hard for a reason, and if you can stick it out, you'll always come out on top. Have a Happy day!! You all deserve it!

Much Love Kristy <3>

Sunday Best!






So its Sunday! What a relaxing day. Yeah right i gotta work 10:45-4:45 today, like almost every Sunday. Not complaining but still. So to start my day off i had this delicious breakfast consisting of biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, and sausage. Oh and i had chocolate milk..(didn't get that in the pic lol) Makes my day better eating a lovely breakfast to fill my tummy!! After breakfast i had to get ready for work. So I took a shower, did the hair, and makeup and found my outfit for the day. Nothing too special though, being Sunday and all i figured just go pretty simple.




After my pretty boring day of work, i came home to a house with family members over for a payperview event of wrestling. Now i like wrestling, don't get me wrong, but i had to get some shopping done which Ive needed to do all week but hadn't gotten the chance. WALMART was my mission. Since no one wanted to go with me but my cousin Janie, we decided to make the best of it! Which totally rocked! It was a blast. I love that girl to death!!



We recorded a youtube video which you can watch on my youtube channel at www.youtube.com/user/richgigirlz Its mine and my sisters channel. We just started it so its not completely out there or professional yet. If you watch it it'll help!! : ) Well I hope you had as good a Sunday as i did. Always count your blessings!! Have a Wonderful day!! Much love - Kristy

What A Day.

So today is my first blog on here. I love to write, I like talking and can talk about anything under the moon, so I thought, why not give this blog thing a try. When i woke up this morning it was FreeZZZZing! Woke up early to take the mom to work and sister to school, then off to work it was my self. Ah! I sell shoes at a department store. Let me tell you a little bit of how my day went today. First off i got to wear jeans to work. That's always a plus! But all in all it started off good, I had a customer right when they opened the doors! Got swamped right away though, especially being by myself for a while.Then seeing as i take care of the athletics i had to stock out more shoes,and make sure they all have the right display tickets, yada..yada.. lol when you work in customer service theres always ups and downs as I'm sure anyone knows. but ya take the good with the bad i guess. so even though people think you have to wait on them hand and foot, and you don't think that, its hard because you need a job and you do all you can to make sure your keeping that job. I like the line of work im in right now, i just want something more professional. you could say im complaining thats fine but who doesnt? So i guess I'm just trying to say that even though your day can be busy,rushed,tormented,long,hurtful, any sort of disaster, always remember to keep your head up and remember to stay positive because it always gets worse before it gets better. And also tomorrows another day and another chance to make a difference in your own life or someone elses.
Have a Happy Day!
