You Won't Believe Your Eyes...

I love a good before and after! Home renovations (that aren't mine),furniture makeovers, beauty makeovers, etc. I am always amazed at the afters. Recently, I was introduced to a product that I absolutely love. My sister first tried the product out after seeing a friend's before and after. She bought it, tried it and before I knew what hit me, I received a text like this...

Left: 3D Fiber Lash - Right: Regular mascara

She has been batting her eyelashes ever since! So, like a good sister, I looked into the product. I sort of got side tracked because of all the crazy going on in my life, but then I saw a giveaway for the very same product and just had to enter. Low and behold, and much to my surprise - I won! I couldn't wait to get it in the mail and when I did it was nighttime, so I decided to wait until morning to try it out. The next morning, I tried my new Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara and was SHOCKED at the results.

So, last week when my family was gathered at my sister's house for Christmas, my mom got wind of this amazing mascara and immediately bought it. I cannot believe I didn't get a video of her reaction. It was EPIC. There was a lot of "Oh my word!" and "Goodness Gracious!" and "I cannot believe this!" And looking at this before and after of her that day, you'll see why...

This Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara is totally awesome and once you try it you will never go back! On my sister, my mom and myself, it has made our lashes look 1/4 inch longer, as well as, thicker and fuller. I am loving it so much I decided to sell it.

The technique is easy and takes 1 minute to apply. The mascara comes in a nice case with two tubes. One is the Transplanting Gel which is basically just awesome black mascara. The second tube is the Natural Fibers. It looks like a fuzzy wand. You put on your regular mascara first. Let it dry. Then, start with one eye, lower lash and apply the transplanting gel. Right after, apply the natural fibers. Then, another coat of transplanting gel to seal the fibers on. Then, move to the top lid and then do the other eye the same way. Don't forget to take a picture after you do one eye because you'll need it to show all of your friends your amazing before and after!

This stuff is water resistant, stays on all day long and cleans off easily with facial cleanser and water. Unbelievable. It's what you've been waiting for your whole life!

If you want to try this for yourself (which I highly suggest), check out my website www.youniqueproducts.com/AmyMcCombie or my Facebook Page: Younique Sassy Lashes

Holly Jolly Happenings...(+ free printable!)

The most wonderful time of year is upon us and while I'd love to be back in the blogging saddle more consistently right now, I've been busy with many other things and intentionally spending more time with my family. As you can tell from this and this, my world has been turned upside down since August. Blogging is still a passion of mine, and my plan is to get back to it more often starting in January.

To catch you up, here's what's been going on lately:

1. We are finishing up our first semester ever of homeschooling. My girls are in 6th, 3rd and 1st grade and these last few months have taught me a few things.

• I'm stronger than I thought I was. Doesn't the song say, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger?" While I hate the song, I think it might have a little truth to it. The jury's still out. I'll keep you posted, but if you don't hear from me again, forget everything I just said.
• Never say "NEVER". After 38 years of life, I should know better. I have said for years I would never homeschool. The fact is while I do not love everything about it, I like a whole lot about it. However, there are days when I have to remind myself exactly what it is that I like and hope that the next day will be better.

2. Our days in this apartment are numbered and for that I am so thankful! We are building a house and hope to move in next Spring. So, in the meantime, we are learning to share our personal space and looking forward to having a little more of our own space in the near future. It will be worth it! We decorated very simply this year with one of our small trees adorned with the girls' keepsake ornaments, new stockings (because we can't find our old ones - 3/4ths of our belongings are still in boxes), and a lighted wreath above the mantel. On the bright side, it will be easy taking it all down.

3. With my husband's new job (hence the reason we moved to Kentucky), we have more time together as a family. It's been such a blessing! We have explored so many fun places in just this short time of living here. Some of our favorites have been the Cincinnati Art Museum, The Cincinnati History Museum, and the Creation Museum. (Do you detect a theme?) Stay tuned for my review of all of our favorite places in case you plan to visit Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati anytime in the future.

4. I have begun a new adventure in the world of essential oils! I started using essential oils several months ago and have been amazed at how they help me and my family to stay healthy or heal from different things. I plan to post periodically about the oils I love and use most, but if you'd like more info in the meantime, check out my website! www.mydoterra.com/amymccombie  I'm a believer in the power of these natural oils and benefit greatly from using them. Do you use them? If so, what are your favorites and what do you use them for? I'd love to know!

That's about all for now! I'll be back soon, but until next time.... Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
