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 :)

Never Have I Ever - Extended Version

I was trying to think of a fun tag to do on here and I tweeted it and lovesparksxo.blogspot.com or
on twitter prettyinpink006 tagged me to do her Never Have I Ever TAG - Beauty Edition. I posted a video yesterday on my youtube channel about it but this way I can do an extended edition and I can do some additional things that aren't only beauty. :)

1) Never have I ever bought an OPI nail polish
- I'm not sure why but I think it's because I've just never had the opportunity to buy them

2) Never have I ever gotten a perm
Um....I have enough frizz but thanks anyways

3) Never have I ever bought a clothing item that cost more than $200 (or so) dollars.
Yes...that includes my wedding dress. It retailed for over $1,200 but we got the last one in DB and it was my size

4) Never have I ever had anything waxed
Not my face or body. I'm not against it at all but I've just never really done it

5) Never have I ever worn a bright lipstick excluding my cheerleading years
I am still traumatized by the bright red lipstick in elementary school...ahh the horror!!!

6) Never have I ever worn my hair down an entire day.
As soon as I don't have to be pretty anymore or I get home my hair goes up. I do not understand how people wear their hair down all the time...or without putting it behind their ears...ahhh it's just bad

7) Never have I ever been able to stick to a skin care regimen
I change mine all the time and I'm horrible at staying on schedule

8) Never have I ever worn braids in public after 4th grade
It's just not a good look on me...at all

9) Never have I ever worn black nail polish.
Not a fan at all

10) Never have I ever worn volumized hair.
I don't like a lot of volume in my hair. It looks horrible!!!

11) Never have I ever worn a french braid.
My mom couldn't french braid and by the time my friends were old enough to do it I looked silly with one.

Top 15 Childhood Memories Good and Bad

My sister suggested I do my top 15 childhood memories as a type of TAG :) These are in no particular order. Just a small glimpe into my life as a kid.


  1. Throwing up in Disney World in front of the Tower of Terror. Did I ride it? Um no. My sister just scared me so much about the actual ride plus shear exhaustion of being young and dragged all over disneyworld. It was just not a good day for Callie at all (I also threw up at a Braves game...all down my dads back as he carried me out of the stands)
  2. Trips at the beach to what we like to call the "Pantry" with my Papaw (grandfather) We would ride down together on his bicycle with me sitting in his lap.  Every time we went inside he'd joke that I had to pay for my own candy or I didn't get any. Every time he bought me more than I ever needed and told me not to tell Mom and Dad :)
  3. Along the same lines - Trips to McDonald's with my Papaw. Growing up, there was only one thing I ate at McDonalds that would be a "Kids-meal-cheeseburger-with-a-dr-pepper" <-- I could say this in about 2 seconds. Even if we had gone 7 kajillion times EVERY time we pulled up to order he would be like "what is it that you want again?" I'll never know if he as just joking but it cracked me up every time
  4. Watching Nascar with my dad on sunday mornings. I remember getting up and laying on the couch with him watching the races. Great sundays :)
  5. Anytime my parents went out and left my sister as my babysitter. The nights always went like this Sister - leave me alone and go do something else.  Me - fine see if I care. Then I would put on an old cheerleading uniform and eat chips and salsa until my stomach hurt so bad. I swear this was the same thing every single time
  6. Going to the beach with my mom. Growing up my mom was a stay at home mom so in the summer she would take me to the beach with her when she went. We would spend 2-3 weeks at my grandparents beach house. It was some of my favorite times :)
  7. Thinking that I could honestly marry my dog. We had a Lhasa Apso from when I was 5 until I was 20. We cut his hair short so he had this adorable scruffy look which suited him well because his name was Snuffie. He was as much a family member as anyone else and I couldn't understand as a kid why I couldn't marry him. He was the perfect man :)
  8. Playing kick the can with my sister and all the neighborhood kids. It's a game where you hide and the "it' person tries to find you. The only way to prevent being tagged was to run out to where the "it" person couldn't see you and kick a 2 liter bottle stuffed with sticks and rocks. Then you were safe and couldn't be tagged. We would play until our parents deemed it too late and pulled us in. 
  9. Staying up until 5 am with my best friend and laying in the road in our neighborhood during the hot summer nights. Then running like little girls when a strange creepy truck drove up the road. Then feeling like morons when we realized it was the newspaper man and not the creepy rapist that we thought 
  10. My awesome/fantastic/massive sleepovers. Do I have a lot of friends now? Nope. Did I have a lot of friends in elementary school? You bet your ass I did. I would have sleepovers with 10-15 girls and we'd stay up in our basement dancing, playing, eating candy, and causing all sorts of mayhem. It was so much fun and I was always the last person awake. No surprise for most of you though.
  11. My infamous stand out of the crowd moment. In kindergarten I decided that taking swish (literally swishing a fluoride mixture in your mouth for a minute in school) was disgusting and I wouldn't do it. My teacher then put me in the back room to prevent the rest of the class from rebelling. I remember her trying to make me open my mouth to take the swish to which I did the ever obnoxious purse lips together and smile while shaking my head. Later that afternoon my mom picked me up to go to the dentist where I also refused to bite onto the mouth tray with fluoride foam on it. Needless to say when my already irate mother got home to listen to the message from my kindergarten teacher about my day at school.....it was not a fun time for me. However I never had to do swish again :) We call this my Norma Rae moment
  12. Waking up in my parents bed between them with no knowledge of walking in there. I had a horrible time as a kid sleeping in my room so i'd go to my sisters first only to be kicked out of her bed (literally) then i'd go to my parents and be promptly sent back to my room. Somewhere in there I developed an ability to sleep walk into there room without waking them at all or me. It was pretty awesome.
  13. Escaping my parents baby safe room. One day my parents had to take my sister to school (about 1 mile away (but didn't want to take me with them) Since I was a baby they tied my room door shut (it opened into the room so they tied it to the door across the hallway). Somehow when they got home I was out of the room. They still to this day have no idea how I did it. Ninja Callie
  14. My grandparents beach house had a downstairs outside shower. As a kid I hated it and never wanted to use it. I remember running up the back steps and knocking on the back door. I was then met by my Nanny (grandmother) who picked me up and put me into the bathtub. She always says she will never forget seeing me as a kid at the backdoor asking to be put into the bath.
  15. The HOURS I spent in the tub as a kid. I loved taking baths. I don't mean like "oh i kinda liked them" I mean that I could spend literally hours in a tub until the water went cold and I had to drain and refill the tub. I also used to take the small bathroom dixie cups, tear them into to shapes and glue them onto the doors of the shower. By glue I mean I used bar soap and stuck them onto the door. I was quite proud of this and always made my parents look at my creation. I'm sure that is how Picasso started :)
