Sara’s Weekly Whatever: Breast Cancer Awareness

I love my wife, she’s a wonderful woman who is so loving and undestanding. So don’t be upset at her for the lateness of these posts. It’s all my fault for not buying the parts I need yet. Then again, you need money to buy that stuff. Either way, here’s the star of today!

That’s okay, sexy. I Love you anyways.

Seahhawks nails

I felt like doing something different, so I devised a stripe cheat cause I don’t use tiny brushes only toothpicks. First I painted nails twice with Rimmel’s 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine in Denim Dreams. Once certain it was dry, I then used Sally Hansen Chrome Nail Makeup in Titanium Chrome on about half my nails, used two coats, waiting extra time between to prevent heavy streaking.

I then started to use Pure Ice’s Lucky Charming to lightly tip nails. It looked okay, but I could do better. I thickened the green converting it into a bolder stripe causing the silver to become more of an accent and the green ended upbalancing the blue better.

No bracelet pic, wore the usual quad for gamedays.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Feels like if its not Halloween or autumnal, then its pink for breast cancer. Practically Everything…….All this funding and still no marketed cure. There’s a cannabis derived oil that’s helping some fight cancer, There’s also a berry from the Blushwood Tree. It’s newly discovered from Austrailia. Can get more info –> http://bit.ly/1y3YLCq . Well here it is. Pink for breast cancer!

Here’s a trick for the half moon manicure I figured out.

First paint your full nails the color you want your half moon accent to be. I chose to apply Scherer’s Chameleon in a pale barely there metallic pink called Ballerina. Most use stencils, dots, other things at this point. I then applied a few coats of NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Plumberry Plaza carefully leaving a half moon shape at cuticle base. I deemed the accent shape too light so went over the pale pink with a bright pink from the same line as the pale. It’s called Heat.I then reapplied the dark berry to cover up minor mistakes. Heat catches the light and is a really fun new take on the autumn pallette especially with Plumberry Plaza. May do more similar color pairings.

Colors of cranberries with palest pink accented with bubblegum, black with rainbow patina, and a touch of magenta. All glass seed beads on elastic stretch cord.

Only used three colors of eyeshadow and black mascara.

First applied Maybelline’s Roller Color in Go-Go Rose to crease and browbone. It’s a shimmery light pink. I then used two colors from Milani’s Autumn Earth quad, the soft ivory and brick red.The red went on eyelids and lined lower lashes. Afterwards, I layered the ivory over it for a softer feeling, more flowers, less rebel. Topped it off with a few generous swipes of another Maybelline product, their mascara, Great Lash in Blackest Black on upper eyelashes.

For my lips I did a sheer well blotted wash of a dark berry lipstick, Milani’s Black Cherry. Then used a gloss, Covergirl’s Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers in Blackberry Splash over the lipstick. These colors really made my hair and eyes stand out. I especially enjoyed the contrast of the soft green of my hair with the light pinks and bold berries of varying shades and hues…My hair looks faded in this pic, now’s the time to redye it.

It’s time for Sara’s Weekly Whatever!

I never should have started her on this, now she bugs me to do it! What kind of a monster have I created?!?! One of these days I’m going to have to quit slacking with her blog. Oh well, at least she’s a loving woman, full of beauty and hot tempered enough to challenge a Jalapeño. So here ya go, the star of the show, Sara!

Bracelets

A motley of warm ambers, frosted clear whites,and cranberries accented with bronze and striated red leaves.

Nails

First applied two layers of Super Shine Naturistics in Peach Bum on full nails. I then tipped them in two coats of NYC Long Wearing nail enamel in Plaza Plumberry for an autumnal take on the french manicure.

Makeup

I used a Milani quad of eyeshadows, Autumn Earth. This iridescent quad features ivory, copper, brick red, and a festive green.

I first applied ivory over whole eyelid and browbone to achieve a softer less saturated pigmentation of finished design. I split my eyelid in half. Used the brick red on the outer half of both eyelids and browbone Then I lightly layered the copper on the center of lids, browbones slightly over some of the red leaving about a quarter of space near eyeducts ivory. I reapplied ivory there for a better fade in to copper. Under the lower lashes I applied brick red to outer half, then finished rest with the copper.

To complete this look I coated my eyelashes in Hard Candy’s 1,000 Lashes Fiberized lash weave mascara in Lush Green.

For my lips , it’s another Milani product, a lipstick in Black Cherry. Lipstick doesn’t last very long on me (about 2 hrs) so I’m hoping to purchase some lipstain in a few colors in the upcoming weeks, and maybe get a hold of some special effects for gamedays and other festive occasions. Stuff for hair would be nice too.

Fossils

This is a trio of very old cephalopod fossils. Bought them at the Puyallup Fair for a good price. Highly detailed pieces, very intricate. If you look closely on the largest , you’ll notice minuscule crystals in some of its chambers and larger ones in others. These ammonites scooted along in our oceans 260– 65 million years ago. Appearing first in the Devonian Age. At one point in time these creatures were apex predators feasting on other living cephalopods, mollusks, and various fish. Some grew to amazing sizes,varying from centimeters to a few feet in diameter. They were wiped out during the Cretaceous Paleogene extinction event, a mass extinction of a great quantity of life both terrestrial and marine. (great stuff to read about) The nautilus is one of their closest living relations, octopi are another.

Sara’s weekly whenever! I made her procrastinate on it.

Been trying to think of what I’m going to do, now that I’ve posted my book up. Probably keep going on the GTA story here, and maybe introduce a health conscious thing. I mean, I have lost 110 lbs in just a year. But today isn’t about me, it’s Sara’s Weekly Whatever! I’ll move to the side, so the star can enter stage left.

I’m Far, far from being a ‘star’. I’m just a person, no need to glorify what isn’t there.(She’s blinded and doesn’t see it!)

I was inspired by my socks. They’re cheetah print over neon green, pink, and blue.
I paired them and the bracelets with a long sleeved chartreuse green shirt and black slacks.

All my nails are painted with three coats of NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Broadway Burgundy Frost

I was bored and started to play around with a blue color called Candid Cameron, its Nicole by Opi Modern Family Collection. I used Supershine Naturistics in Peach Bum for the throat of the flower. For the leaf and stem, I used two greens that I mixed.

You can click on the images for bigger pictures!

So, I finally found a place to put it up!

Not a traditional publisher…but still. I finally found a good place to put it up for free. Want to offer it to people, so I can get reviews and such without too many problems. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/476522 Download the Epub, the others need to be updated, and the formatting is being annoying >.>

Now…I have to figure out what I’m going to be putting here. Maybe I’ll start doing some flash fiction or something. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy! And as always, feel free to leave any feedback! Preferably on the book page! Or you can always post it to my Amazon page.

Have a wonderful week guys!

Showing off her Seahawk pride! Even though we lost today : (

God I love having a woman that watches football. Too bad our beloved Seahawks were beaten by the Chargers. I have to give it to Phillip and Gates, they tore us apart! Anyways, here’s the lady you all really want to see, I know I’m just in the way here.

They love you , it’s just I’m a reluctant blogger, eager to show off my home team pride!~SLW~

I used Hard Candy’s Fiberized Lash Weave Mascara in Lush
Green tinting my eyebrows for a subtle look and on my eyelashes. Part below eyebrow I layered the dark moss green over the pale green,both found in Rimmel’s Glam’eyes: Tempting. Eyelid: colored whole area with Maybelline Roller color in Skate ‘Til Midnight. Its a deep dark blue powder.I then applied over that in Covergirl’s Aqua Paradise. I repeated the same lining the bottom part. Lips: light use of Milani’s Black Cherry lipstick, I then applied a light layer of Covergirl’s Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers Blackberry Splash.

These four I made last season, wore them most games, plan to keep wearing them for the rest of this season, might make more to add.

First used two layers of Pure Ice’s Lucky Charming over full nail, I then applied two layers of Rimmel’s 60 Seconds Vinyl Shine :Denim Dreams on the tips. The colors are a very close match to the Seahawks’ colors.

She threatened to beat me with a skillet if I didn’t let her do this!

Haha! Told you all I’d get the woman more involved! She even came to me wanting to do this, and I encourage her. She needs to get out of her shell and quit being antisocial.

Bracelets Sara Made

Riley is a lying Shithead…he’s forcing me to do this….well, bribing me, actually. -.-
hand pic : Normally I don’t partake in fads, but today’s bracelet grouping influenced me to try the ‘accent nail trend’ especially since the selected nail polishes coordinate with the bracelets.
Both colors are Pure Ice, the metallic pastel purple is New Lilac. Green with golden shimmer dust is Lucky Charming. Wearing two coats of the purple, three of the green. Green is very sheer as a single layer so i added two more to achieve a saturated sparkly nail.

bracelet pic:I’m wearing these today. Made all, save for the flowered one, which was a gift. Beads are a motley of glass, pearls and plastic bound by elastic cord
