Day three of my mission

Well today was interesting and busy to say the least. You would think being a housewife is easy breesy but trust me it is not. I had to wake up early and shower, shave and makeup for a early Dr's appt. During my primping my son just freshly awake decides he wants a tub. So in the tub he goes and I go on doing my makeup and talking to him.

I exfoliated my face and used my normal cleaner. Then applied that fun acne solution followed by the all natural emollient. Let that soak in and then I have to find the concealer brush dab and tap and hide the bags under my eyes, Then I apply the all over mineral foundation followed by bronzer. Then had to fill in the eyebrows and set them. Eye shadow came next, three shades to be exact and I had to hold tissue under my eye so that none of the eyeshadow spilt onto my face (it was mineral eyeshadow so it can drip) I did the top eye in gold eyeliner, then applied mascara, followed by a darker gold on the bottom.

I am looking at my bikini wax and my preggo belly and wondering how in the world I am going to manage to wax myself with such short arms. This should be interesting, After that I am planning on a mani/pedi. I really need one and deserve it. Well tomorrow should be interesting since i get more of a break

I have decided to go on a mission

I have decided to go down the road and see how much work it takes to become a trophy wife......This should be interesting no remember I am 6 months pregnant so there is only so much I can do

Last night I went ahead and washed my face with St Ives make up remover/face wash and then patted dry of course then I followed with Got to Be cucumber face peel. I felt like I had that mask on forever but once I took it off my skin did feel softer. I went online to my favorite store (eBay) and got some great deals on Bare Mineral foundation and Mineral Veil (which I have used and loved), Elf concealer (which I have never used but am willing to try based on reviews) and then I went on a search of skin products wow there were so many on there. I found a great deal on a face mask with Caviar in it....seem so luxurious but frivolous (I may break down and try it in the future) I cannot wait for my make up to get here I am really looking forward to the mineral veil and the concealer as this pregnancy is wrecking havoc on my skin.

Today I exfoliated with St Ives Invigorating scrub and then washed with my St Ives facial cleaner. I put on my acne medicine followed by some natural emollient. My skin still feels soft today. Now for makeup...sometimes I wonder why I even bother since I wear glasses most of the time. I have to get my contacts in the middle of the month. Then I have to do my hair and keep myself looking fresh all day as I take care of my kids.....this should be fun like I said

almost 13 years ago

at 15 years ago I became a teen mom to my beautiful daughter Jaszmien. Not a day has gone by that I have regretted that day or the decision to keep her. My mom kicked me out but I was lucky enough to get into a teen parent home and then into a teen parent apartment complex where I had my own apartment. I worked full time and then went to school and graduated on time with my class. I even had six scholarships to use for college which I did. I became a Medical Assistant and I am now in college working on my Bachelors degree in Accounting. My daughter is going through the teen years for sure and I really am trying to be there for her but she sure makes that hard. I wish more than anything that I could take her in my arms and just overwhelm her with loves and kisses but she would totally freak out. I can only hope she truly knows how much love I have for her and feel the bond I have with her seeing as we have been through so much together. I hope when she has children she will look up to me as a positive influence and someone to model after. I miss her now as she is on vacation with her grandpa and can't wait for her to get back even though I know there will be some silly argument about something. All I can hope is that I have set a good example for other teen parents and have put a good name for teen parents since most only think of the bad stigma associated with them.

It is time to stand up for teen parents

Yesterday I read an article that devastated me.

Less than half of teen parents graduate from high school.
Less than 2% earn a college degree before the age of 30

I got pregnant at the age of 14 and gave birth at the age of 15. I graduated on time with my class with 6 scholarships that I worked my butt off for. Shortly after I turn 30 I will have three college degrees. I want to bring these statistics up and be a role model for those who think they cannot do it. I am starting from scratch but mark my words I will make a difference in someones life.
