We'll start with the Anniversary Girl:

Hello Sweetie Lovelies!  My name is Bethany from The Sepia Puppy and I'm celebrating my 1st Blogiversary!  I am a Wife, Mother of two, Full-time Student & Part-time Blogger.  I love photography, art and all things crafty & DIY. I am working towards my B.S. in Psychology & Christian Counselling.  I am smitten with my husband more everyday and my kids keep me laughing daily.

 My name is Allison and "Okay, Allison" is my little blog about my little life. I say whatever is on my mind at the time, lacking pretty much any filter for what is deemed appropriate.  I seem to observe humanity from a perspective that a lot of people are thinking, but would never speak aloud, or for god’s sake- write down.  I love other funny girls who like to eat and take naps with puppies.   I love art, music, crafting, and of course, writing.  Everything I say in my blog comes from the heart, the stories are all true because I've lived them.  If you like to laugh and smile, read on.

My name is Tara, I'm from Easy Makes Me Happy.  I'm a wife and a mother of four. I grew up in Alaska (the beautiful and the cold) and I'm pretty sure this is where my family will grow up too.  I love to crochet, design, and craft. I absolutely LOVE being able to share everything with you via this blog, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

 Hello! I am Kathe, with an e. I began blogging as a creative outlet. I was born in Washington state and moved with my family to Colorado as a teen.  I married, had two sons, divorced and worked my butt off to make sure my boys had everything they needed.  Then, I met Mr. B, He is the reason and cause of my laugh lines. Bottom line, I am a woman of a certain age that is still trying to find herself after raising two sons and finding my own true love later in life. Someday I may figure out what I want to be when I grow up! Until then, let's have some fun!

MRS. AGUILA & FRIENDS XL SPONSOR GIVEAWAY ON CATTAILS + CARDIGANS
STARTS TONIGHT/TOMORROW MORNING  

THE SEPIA PUPPY'S FIRST YEAR BLOGIVERSARY

Pink plus Green EOTD

Hey Lovely Treasures,

So I was in a training at church all day today so this post came a little later than I thought and for that I apologize.

Also its Fight Night, Canelo vs. Mayweather.

So here is EOTD with color, (I posted a teaser on Instagram), a fall look I created. Color pic has no filter.





I have lots of pictures with different filters to try to capture the color.  I am not a professional selfie photographer yet but at this rate I should be really soon.  I totally want to master the eye taking photos.  If you have tutorials or advice for me PLEASE share.

My mom's car was at the repair shop for a couple of days and she was using my car so she would pick me up from work. I tool advantage of the daylight and took all these selfies.

It was so bright outside the sunlight was totally bothering my eyes so I had to put on the shades.



I really love my blouse paired up with this hair bun. I have never worn a pulled back bun like this but I got so many compliments and honestly I only did it because I didn't have time for anything else (yes again) BUT we all know it usually happens like that.

These photos are with different filters again trying to capture the make up on my eye and I couldn't really capture my bun but I tried.

So here are my Eye photos, hahaha. Even I laugh at myself but this is he best  I could do. I was really loving my eye make up but it is just hard for me to capture in a photo. Sorry Treasures, I will get better.

 

What I Used for this EOTD

Base: MBA Eye Poxy

Brow Line: MBA Nudey Booty

Lower Base: MAC Sweet Satisfaction

Outer Corner:  MBA Cupcake

Eye Shadow as eyeliner: MAC Sassy Grass w/MBA Foiling and Lining Medium

(This was my first time using the Foiling and Lining Medium since I won it  and I have to say I am in love.  I used it with an AVON Eyeliner Brush that I had and it was a breeze and you only need a tiny drop, dip brush and swipe eye shadow and apply.)





In honor of my pink and green EOTD I wanted to share this as well.

I received my AVON order on Thursday and I ordered this Lip Crayon in Showstopper . One Word, LOVE!



DISCLOSURE:  I really need to practice on my photo taking. The color on this is AMAZING, this picture just doesn't show its beauty and I am so sorry about that. I ended giving it to my co-worker but I will order another one and do a KEEK.

 

Thanks for stopping by today. 

 

 

Are you ready for some football?

Well Hello Treasures,

How is everybody doing? I hope and pray you are doing well.

So in honor of the start of the 2013 NFL Season tonight, I decided to write about some football. I have to say that I love watching sports. I am Los Angeles Dodgers fan have been since I was a young girl and that is thanks to my granddaddy.

I also like the Los Angeles Lakers. Mr. Aguila is a huge Lakers fan, I am in between but I do enjoy watching baseball and basketball.

BUT FOOTBALL , OH YA FOOTBALL, WOO HOO!!! I love football season. I love watching football and I love me some Dallas Cowboys. I know weird since I am born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I have been a Dallas Cowboys fan since I can remember but I have never been to a football game.

Last year my husband and I went to Texas to visit our family and friends. Unfortunately, the Cowboys weren't playing at home while we were in town. We were still able to take a tour of the stadium!! Oh my goodness, what an awesome experience that was for me. We get to see the locker rooms of both the players and the cheerleaders, the press room and walk on the field and take pictures plus sit in the bleachers and shop the amazing store they have there!

Yes I was super excited like a little girl at Disneyland. It was a super cool experience for me. I was all giggles and just happy, happy to get to be there even though it wasn't for a game. We have so many pictures. I don't want to bore you with all our pictures but it was really hard to only choose a few.

We took like so many pictures, walked around and enjoyed this tour so much. I was even praying over the field and everything, Tim Tebow style!

So glad Mr. Aguila likes taking pictures because in the end all we have our the memories and the pictures. 



While we were in Texas Mr. Aguila bought me my first Dallas Cowboys jersey. You will surely see photos of me in it coming soon.  Maybe on Sunday when the Cowboys play the Giants.

 

Do you like to watch football?  What is your favorite team? Let me know. I love to read comments and be sure to get social with me.
