Lularoe, LipSense, & Libations


Just wanted to start this post with a recent pic of my fur baby :)
We like to lay down in bed before I head to the gym after work.

Anyways...

My mom & I headed to Coralville to see my sister and the boos (the boys) Saturday for a while. 
I threw on one of my Lularoe tops I had yet to wear and let me tell ya...it was SO comfy! I would recommend this style to anyone (Perfect T).

On top of that, I did my makeup in all Senegence products. Senegence is the parent company that creates LipSense, if you didn't know. The make up is SO awesome. Oil free, smudge free, water proof, and just overall better for your skin. (No harmful ingredients, SPF, SenePlex Complex, etc.) SenePlex mainly means cell renewal of the skin. If you'd like to read more about how awesome this stuff is...here's a great explanation.

A little while later, we had a Lularoe, LipSense & Libations party!



We all 3 sported some Lula. Andrea is wearing an Irma Tunic top & leggings, and I have on a Cassie skirt (super comfy)!


I did a SeneGence makeup tutorial on my sister (practiced on my mom first, but somehow never got a pic of my work!) and I was super happy with the results--they both looked great! I have played with this makeup on my self plenty of times, but actually getting to do it on someone else was a little scary at first, but it turned out to be super fun for me! 

I am going to start doing more 'Get Ready With Me' videos on my LipSense Facebook page, which you can join here:

...and I am SUPER excited about it. I didn't realize how much I actually do LOVE makeup until this weekend after practicing on my mom and doing my sister's live! 

And at the end of the weekend, I did I was usually do on Sunday's...played with SnapChat filters.


Two things...

1. Can we talk about my new sunglasses?! 'Cuz I am IN LOVE!!! 
2. Um the purple hair...really really REALLY debatable [I'm pretty much obsessed with that look on me right now] .... :|

A Cubs Sweep!

Day 2:

There wasn't much turnaround time to recover from the Bruno Mars concert to when we had to be up and moving for a day with the Chicago Cubs! But...I wasn't about to argue.

Since the company I work for is 99.9% based around sports, I have really started to love learning about sports, following certain teams, and have a whole new respect for them.

My grandpa McGrath was a huge Chicago Cubs fan, so this one is in my blood. 


Complete side note: I loved this tshirt. I got so warm that I went and bought a tank top & ended up losing this shirt somewhere after the game. I hope it finds a rightful new owner. :P

We got up and moving on our way to the game around 10:30. We took the 'L' to Wrigleyville & the fun began!

I have never been down to Wrigleyville before and let me tell you--it was SO cool!




We headed up to the rooftop that we would watch the game from and got some lunch. I wish I would have snapped more pictures of what this place was like, because it was really cool. It's like an apartment building outside of Wrigley that has a bar/indoor seating floor to watch the game on TVs and then a floor up, you can sit on bleachers and watch the game overlooking the field. 


The Cubs have been doing very well this season so it was really awesome to be able to see them play in person. 

If you listen closely, you can hear the crowd singing Go Cubs Go! after their victory against the Toronto Blue Jays! Of course this was a SnapChat video so it got cut off/saved in my phone weird.

Pop Pop, It's Show Time (Show Time)

Guess who's back again?! 

To say this summer got away from me, is an understatement.
While I'd like to elaborate more on that, I won't. :)

So I'll catch you up on my most recent trip to Chicago!

Day 1:
We arrived Friday afternoon, immediately got ready, and headed out for some quick drinks & dinner before...






    
A BRUNO MARS CONCERT!!!



He performed at the United Center (home of the Chicago Bulls--Hey, Fred Hoiberg!).
So that is where this completely random pic of the MJ statue came from. :)



Oh my gosh, you guys. I don't think I have the time or blog space to describe how amazing this concert was! I have been to my fair share of amazing concerts (Black Eyed Peas, Ludacris, LMFAO, , Rascal Flatts, Miranda Lambert, Macklemore, P!nk to name a few.) And this...THIS one...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! It may or may not take the cake as the BEST show I've ever been to!

Once the concert started, the entire stage (and crowd) did NOT stop moving. Not to mention, we were super close! It was SO much fun!



Bruno (and his entire stage crew) can MOVE! I had a lot of favorite moments of the concert, but I think the two that made my ultimate list were:

1. When gold confetti blasted out of cannons during "Locked Out of Heaven."
2. When Bruno asked the entire crowd to sing the chorus for "Just the Way You Are." (Ugh, serious chills!)

I posted a video of each of these moments on my Facebook & my Instagram--check them out!

If you ever have the chance to see Bruno Mars, GO! Don't question it--JUST GO!
