Christmas Goody

This is a bit of a re-promote but it's a really good one. I have a youtube video about the Victoria's Secret Ultimate makeup kit (link at the bottom). I just learned it is back out again for this year. I am going to search for a coupon code if I can find one. If I can't find it now i'll keep looking and get it on here asap. This kit is totally awesome. It has a ton of great eyeshadows, lipsticks, lip gloss, blushes, bronzer and a translucent powder. It also comes with some not so great brushes, a red lip liner (BAD), and a black eyeliner. I'm not really sure how great the eyeliner is because I don't really use pencil eyeliners. The idea of splinters sorta terrifies me. Once I got this kit I used it religiously for a long time. I was amazed at the quality of the eyeshadows and the blushes are super pigmented. The only negative is that I don't own this kit anymore. I gave it to a girl in my nursing class who is a makeup junkie. It was certainly not because I disliked it but more that I knew I had plenty of other things to play with. I hope you check this one out for a great kit. It is wonderful as an all inclusive kit for travel just be sure it is protected in your bag due to the mirror. They have also released a mega makeup kit that has more options. I assume the quality is the same but I have not personally ever seen it. I was also told it would be just $25 for black friday in the comments under my video so that is totally awesome :)

Keep in mind that coupon codes expire often so this one may or may not work for you. I will try my best to keep it updated with the newest and most dependable codes. For the record most of my codes come from Retail Me Not It is a fabulous site that I use all the time. You can also google Store Name + coupons code/promotional code/offer code (best bet is to look at the site and see what jargon they use for their codes) If I do not have a code on here and you are going to purchase from any site please @reply me on twitter and ask first. I am all about deals.  - Callisonannee

First code is FA1023785 - this is for $15 off of $100 or more. Expires 12/15 - this would be great if you are purchasing for multiple people

Also checkout the sites for Black Friday. Free shipping is very likely and % off is common too. Enjoy :)




     

Update and New Obsession

Yes, I am still alive. School has been crazy busy lately. We have a test pretty much every two weeks and we have to make at least an 80 in the class to pass. Luckily i'm doing really well on my tests. We also have 12 hour clinicals each week and that has been insane. I'm in a group of 5 and I was the first to have two patients. (eeekk). So for the last 3 out of 4 weeks I've had two patients. One week both of my patients went home the night before. The weird thing is these patients are on a progressive care unit with tele so they all have heart conditions. Meaning each one gets around 15 medications at 10 am alone. So for two patients both with >10 meds at 10 am I have 1 hour to report to my instructor and physically give the medications. At the same time it is really awesome. I feel honored that my instructor chose me plus I actually had an instructors family member as a patient. <--totally honored to be trusted that much. I am just counting down until May and graduation. Then i'll be all worried about the NCLEX-RN which I have to pass to be a nurse. So back to fun stuff.

My newest obsession has been nails. I have been a nail biter all my life which is the worst habit ever. I quit when I got married for a few months but started again with nursing school. Then I quit after I got a horrible cold but school started it again. Well recently I have stopped again. The key to stopping is to have a reason. My reason is always my health. I get horrible colds and I know that is why. My immune system isn't great but biting my nails makes it 100000x worst. So anyways the way I stop is to ALWAYS paint my nails. Even if it is only clear nail polish it makes a huge difference. But painting my nails is also a stress relieving type of thing which has lead to LOTS of painting. I wanted to post some pictures of recent favorites and i'll be sure to take pictures as I do more designs. (Some of these are from sites I have seen so don't go crazy that i'm copying everyone because well....I am) First two are feet so let all the creepy feet people flock here haha

Vampire Toes 

Frankenstein Toes 

Both 

Packman ghosts. They are the appropriate colors

and their eyes are going the correct direction 

Packman. I figured it would stand out better on a

black nail. 

Mario mushrooms

Halloween nails right hand

Halloween nails left hand

So basically I've been painting my nails a lot. I'll make a conscious effort to take pictures of each design I do. They generally only last a day or two with work. Plus I can't have them for clinicals so they get clear polish on Tuesday and Wednesday. Hope you all like the designs :)

Hello

My absolute newest obsession is the bluish pink blush in the coastal scents 10 color blush palette. Seriously it is amazing! It looks scary and is even more terrifying when you see how much goes onto your brush but it is beautiful. I got the idea for it once TiffanyD did her perfect blush application video. I think that was it at least. But she suggested using a bluish tone which I am shocked at how pretty it is. I have a very pinky skin tone when i'm warm so this bluish tint goes on so pretty. I'll post a picture to show exactly which one I love.

(Top Center) It is much more vivid in person

In other news Sex and the City 2 comes out next week. I'm super excited about it. I got hooked on SATC many years ago when it would come on tbs at 11 and 11:30 each night. Then one Christmas my mom bought me all the dvds and I watched them all the way through in like 2 days and it was ridiculous. I had watched them all on tv so the HBO version...umm not the same at all.  I just really really love the show. I know some people say it's silly and stupid and whorish or whatever but I just feel like it's a great plot line and the characters are so likeable. Needless to say my butt will be watching it as soon as I can and then i'll add the dvd to my collection as soon as it's out.  Now I feel like I need to re watch it from the very beginning. Are there any other SATCaholics out there???

My other love is the To The Beach collection. I plan on getting the pink blush which I believe is hipness. I also plan on getting the marine life powder which is just amazing by itself. I might also get the golden lipgloss which looks perfect for summer. These are my anniversary gifts so I get so much money to spend on whatever. I have to balance that amount between make up and new pants. As you all know if you watched my OOTD none of my pants fit me at all. I was wearing a size 12 and now i'm in a size 8 so my 12's make me look like a fool. I really want the powder, blush and also mac's creme blush in lady blush. Then I have to decide where I can maximize my money on pants. Even though most of you probably don't like it I'll definitely be at walmart where the jeans are are super cheap and awesome :) Just like your mom ;)

Time for Some Bitching

Ugh these are driving me crazy. It sucks because some of my favorite people are doing them but I refuse to get on twitter and be forced to buy shit for a dog I don't even have. I totally understand making money on youtube and even on blogs. Those are tailored towards the topic I'm watching. I'd expect to watch a big guru do a video on CoverGirl and then see a CoverGirl ad by their video. Hello...that makes sense. But no I don't want to create movies, buy dog food, buy sunglasses or any of the above stupid stuff. It seems really desperate to me and disrespectful. I completely agree that it is your twitter and you can post whatever you want but there is a difference between writing about a topic people don't like and greedily posting ridiculous ads to make a few bucks. Hate me if you want to but don't get pissed when you try to DM me and it says "i'm sorry but Callisonannee isn't following you". Thanks but if I wanted to be apart of your money scam then I'd jump on that bandwagon too.

This reminds me of another thing I hate..."Please RT I'm trying to get to 1 million subscribers and i'm only 999,999 away!!!". Dear person, I'm already following you...meaning I already am subscribed to you. I don't want to be constantly spammed with you begging me to beg other people to subscribe. Honestly I don't want people just to subscribe to me because Jimmy John asks them to. Before I get hated on, yes i've had shoutouts before but I didn't ask for them. I may have said on twitter "wow i'm only 5 away from 100" but I have NEVER posted my own link and or begged for a retweet. Y'all will realize this when I get to hold my first contest (once I get some money). Once I post the video I will mark in my email the last subscriber and only those previously subscribed may enter the contest. I feel like contests are for people who actually watch my videos and not people who subscribe, enter the contest, bitch about losing and then unsubscribe. No thanks!

Shew...I feel better now :)

Operation Move

Ahhh I am officially moved :) I am so excited to be in a new place (parents house) and out of that apartment. Don't get me wrong though, I loved our apartment but the location was horrible. We were across a drawbridge which was under construction and we were sorta kinda trapped during the weeknights. Sunday-Thurs from like 11-4 AM the bridge was closed to all traffic except for emergency personnel. Meaning the only way to get to the mainland was to drive 40 minutes out of the way rather than literally cross the damn bridge. It was a total pain also because when they aren't doing construction it is a working bridge on a very busy channel of water. It can open every 30 min. and let me just tell you sailboats take a long ass time to get through. All in all I will miss our first apartment as a married couple just not the location it was in.

The cats LOVE my parents house. They have never been anywhere this big and I think they are still a little awestruck by it. They explore each room and constantly head up and down the stairs. As I sit and watch tv I hear them running the length of the house and then sliding on the wood floor after hauling ass down the staircase. It's so funny. Plus Brewer, our less talkative male cat, has been meowing non-stop. I swear he just likes the sound of his voice in a big open space. That or he is yelling to his sister "omg look what else I found in here". It's too cute and we both totally love it.

Most of my stuff has been moved and Clay is staying here with me until he moves in at school in July. I'm so happy he is staying here and that I even got him to stay here tonight :). We are heading back to the apartment tomorrow to pack up some more stuff and then soon we will be canceling our cable which will be awesome. Totally excited for a cheaper cable bill....digital cable is WAY too expensive. We still have my love seat to bring to my parents house and then our big sofa to take to the storage unit. Our washer and dryer also have to go and that will be a pain as well. It's good though because we don't technically have to be out until the end of the month so we will have lots of time to clean and get everything done before the final carpet clean and move out day. We are praying we get our deposit back as long as they don't notice the cats...well....love on the carpet :). Luckily they don't do that anymore but as kittens they just thought it was a fun scratching toy. Clay is going to try to trim the frayed edges and camouflage it as best as we can.

All in all it was a successful day and hopefully with a yucky rainy week ahead we can get a lot done. I start school on the 25th :( booo

Callie = Not Fashionable

As I look through many of the fashion blogs and fashion websites I come to a sad reality - I am NOT fashionable. At least not to anyone who matters. I am one of those people that finds something that works for me and I stick with it forever. I try new things but I don't look to Cosmo or Elle or any of the 1000's of fashion magazines to pick my next outfit. I figured I'd do a quick post on some of my biggest fashion pet peeves because obviously I am someone to look to for fashion *eye roll*

1) Booties - These drive me crazy. If you are going to wear a boot then wear a boot...don't wear a half-assed boot. It's just bad. Wearing them at all bothers me, wearing them WITH shorts or a short skirt physically pains me. It's just a fashion trend that I hope moves on quickly

2) Skinny Jeans - Now before I get attacked let me explain. Yes, they do look good on ultra skinny girls with minimal curves. However, there are only about 4 of those girls in existence at any one time. They are typically worn by girls with larger feet and larger hips and they end up making the girls look MUCH larger than they really are. Maybe it's just because I was brought up when flared jeans were coming back but I will always be a boot cut type of girl.

3) Military style boots - I think those speak for themselves really.

4) Crocs (crock of shit??) - No...please God no. If you are wearing them to garden or possibly to work that's fine. But if you aren't an adorable 4 year child then you shouldn't be wearing them.

5) Uggs - the issue with Uggs is that people don't generally wear them when it's cold. They are worn with denim skirts (vomit) and jean shorts (double vomit). If it is warm enough to wear those outfits then fur boots aren't necessary. However, if you are from the Artic then please by all means wear your Ugg boots with pride! I must also point out... uggs...ugly...really it's just too easy.

6) Denim button up shirts - I can't help but remember 2nd grade when I see these. I think mine had Mickey Mouse on it.

7) Toms - Maybe I just don't get it or something??

8) Shoulder pads - I only like these in Peacoats or certain business suits. Most of the time they just make things look too masculine.

Obviously I'm not a fashion guru and I don't ever want to be. I prefer to be comfortable over fashionable and I'm ok blending into a crowd. I just like clothes that look good on me and are my style. I will never wear something because someone else does or because I feel like I'm supposed to. Hate it if you want to but at least it's my opinion :)
