Reflections of 2023 ~ Yearly Recap

Happy last day of 2023 Everyone - can we believe 2024 starts tomorrow?! I am always so excited with reflecting back! 

Damian Turned 18 

At the start of the year, Damian turned 18! I can't believe my baby is now technically an adult! We went out to a pub for the night and this is us and our first tequila shot together - can you tell who is better at them at this point?! Lol - he is a great kid! 

Five on Friday - November 3, 2023 ~ Halloween Costumes, Halloween Party, October Month of Vegetarian and Pescatarian Meals, Halloween Decor Finds and Fall SampleSource

Happy Friday everyone - can we believe this is already the first weekend in November?! I hope you all had a good week! 

ONE 

I purchased everything in this post

I love Halloween - so excited to show our costumes - Goomba Cat, Cat Princess Peach and Bowser! My mom made this amazing costume for Elliott when he had this request for his costume - it turned out amazing! So, since I was Princess Peach last year, I thought I'd be Cat Peach to match Elliott! 

Halloween Makeup 2023 ~ Cat Princess Peach Makeup (Shop My Stash)

Happy Halloween everyone!!! If you guys have been around for a few years, you know we take our Halloweens pretty seriously (or at least - I take my Halloween pretty seriously and everyone else in the house puts up with it!)

I tend to plan my costumes around my kids (while I still can - if it fits in to a family costume!) and Elliott asked to be a Cat Goomba, so since I was Princess Peach last year, I thought it would be perfect for me to be Cat Princess Peach! 

Halloween Makeup - Previous Year's Looks ~ Princess Peach, Ghost Spider, Sally, Eevee, Lady Stoneheart, and Ninja Turtle Makeup Looks

I absolutely love Halloween!! And, Halloween is sneaking up on us so quickly! Hopefully you have your costume picked out, and if you don't - I have some ideas, mostly using makeup already in my collection (a Shop My Stash if you will!) I used to love doing multiple looks per year, but I just don't have that in me right now! 

2022 

Last year I was Princess Peach - my little guy is so into Mario and Luigi, so of course we love family costumes when we can do them! And honestly, this makeup was everything from my collection - pink, pink, pink! If you want to see the products I used, make sure to check out my makeup post here! 

Lush x Super Mario Bros Products

I have been trying to slow down on the bath products while I use some of the older products that I have, but I couldn't resist picking up a few products when I saw that they came out with a collaboration with Super Mario Bros with the new movie that just came out! 

I purchased everything in this post

The line of products included a body spray, shower gel, a mystery block bath bomb that comes with a surprise soap inside, and a couple of shower jellies too!
