Time for A Break

This is so hard for me to write, but it's also been a long time coming - I am taking a long term break from my blog! I have been blogging since May 2014, so I made it over 10 years on here solidly blogging. I have been on here through so many life changes - buying a home, getting married, having a second kid; but, I have been struggling this year to make time for everything I need to. I've been focusing on my health and other hobbies, so I just can't do it all right now. I'm not shutting it down, because ideally, I'd love to bring it back one day, so it's a bye for now. 

But, I won't be done talking beauty, books and everything - just make sure you following along on instagram as I will still be active there!

(It's the typing and editing time on the computer that I can't manage at this time). I appreciate all the support over the past 10 years!

Make Me A Mixtape was received as a review copy 

This past weekend we enjoyed a little pumpkin patch at the Calgary Farmyard - it was so much fun! There was so many great activities for us and the kids and the weather was fantastic. It's been a great Fall here in Calgary! 

Milani Color Fetish Hydrating Stain in Mahogany Mami

I have heard rave reviews about this Milani lip stain, so I had to try this product! I haven't tried much from Milani, but coloured me intrigued! 

I purchased this product

Milani Color Fetish Hydrating Lip Stain in Mahogany Mami ~ $16.97 CAN. Lip color goes low maintenance with Color Fetish Hydrating Lip Stain. Made with hydration-rich Hyaluronic Acid and plant-derived Squalane, this cushiony high-comfort formula applies with a glossy shine that transforms into a semi-matte tint as it dries down. The never sticky, non-drying formula delivers up to 8HRS of stain power, hydration & comfortable wear. Say hello to your lazy girl lip era!

This is a stain type product - so it goes on with a cushiony applicator that it goes on shiny and then it dries down to a semi-matte finish on the lips! I don't wear a ton of stains, but I love the idea of the hint staying on the lips as the product wears off.
