Q&A fun!

Thought a really fun way for readers to get to know me would be to just plainly do a Q&A.. so here it is!

1. How tall are you? well all my life I thought I was 5’2 and turns out I am only 5 foot… so yes a fabulous 5 feet tall! 2. How old are you? I am 27 years old!

3. When's your birthday? My birthday is December 13th

4. Zodiac sign? I am a sagittarius

5. Favorite food? I just plainly love food i don’t necessarily have a favorite. But I guess I can say I love pastas, shrimp, chicken. I am from the south & right now I am dreaming of some baked mac & cheese and fried chicken a roll & sweet tea from Minnies Uptown Restaurant in Columbus GA. AMAZE-BALLS!!!

6. Ever been in love? I am right now & married to him too!

7. Ever had a terrible breakup? i don’t believe I have ever had a terrible break up. I have had a break up in the past and it was with my husband when we first started dating years & years ago but it wasn’t terrible really.

8. Are you still friends with any of your exes? I married my ex… lol

9. Any tattoos? yes I do! i have a total of 6 tattoos. My forearm, wrist, feets, & my side.

10. Any piercings? i have my ears pierced and belly button that i have had for years now… lol

11. Favorite show? as of right now i have a few i can’t just narrow it down to one but my top is of course Game of Thrones, Once Upon a Time, The Originals, & Reign

12. Favorite movie? my favorite movie… hmmmmm. This is truly a hard one because I am a big movie lover. I love too many movies but if i have to name a few that come to mind right now. I guess Divergent was pretty bad ass (also an amazing book series) & The Fault In Our Stars, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Superbad & Catching Fire. I have too many to name honestly. I can't just pick one...

13. Besides your favorite movie, what movies could you watch over and over and still love? uhhhhhh… First off any Harry Potter film & I could watch Silver Linings Playbook over & over again. Also Hocus Pocus & Nightmare Before Christmas. Sweet Home Alabama (DUH!) Mean Girls (sorry! LOL!)

14. Favorite actor? well lets see… my favorite actress which i think a lot of my friends already know is Jennifer Lawrence. She is sooo damn talented and from when I first saw her in Poker House i just was just in awe of how amazing she was and such a young age. A favorite actor of mine would have to be Peter Dinklage and I selfishly say that because he portrays Tyrion in Game of Thrones and his portrayal deserves an award. I have never loved a character so much from the first moment I was introduced to them in the first season and he did that. He made me love Tyrion from the beginning and i still do.

21. Quality you look for in a partner? Funny

22. Where do you go when you’re sad? ummm no where in particular. I guess I turn to my books.

Disappearing Act

OH HELLO BLOG-OSPHERE!!! 

So I should be ashamed of myself. Its been 3 or 4 weeks since I last posted a blog and well I am totally ashamed. (insert virtual slap in the face)

So the happenings of the last few weeks have been insanely hectic. Last I posted my parents were coming into town so as you can guess I was spending time with them and yes thats partially why I did not post a blog & why I haven't even done a youtube video. Also within those weeks both my husband & son had surgery. 

Its been a great few weeks having family here but at the same time it was hard because I knew they had to go back and we still miss the whole rest of the family as well. We have a very close nit and loving family. We have so much fun together. I know its very cliche because everyone says it but I really do mean it. We went from having access to all of our family this time last year and seeing everyone everyday to not having any of them close by anymore. But hey its the Army life right?! 

My daughter Angelina had her Kindergarten graduation & we were able to take my parents hiking and to Chena Hot Springs & around our little town here. They really enjoyed it and thought it was beautiful. Which it is... If your ever able to visit Alaska do it in the summer its absolutely gorgeous! Here are a few pictures of our awesome happenings...

Here is my daughter at her graduation!

Took a hike and got some awesome shots!

 

Got to go to Chena & look at the Ice Museum

Santa Clause House in North Pole

Also this past weekend I ran The Color Run 5K. It was a whole lot of fun. Its my 2nd time running a 5K. I do it for the simple fact that its something that I enjoy and I know I don't suck at. lol! Not that it counts now but I did run track in Highschool. I always saw running as just something I am mentally good at. Lets face it its just a mind game anyways. You tell yourself its too long and you end up quitting but if you pace yourself and just tell yourself not much longer keep your breathing steady then you push yourself. 

Anyways I am again sorry that I have been away for so long I will have lots of fun post going up specially with summer here and lots of fun things to do here in Alaska! By now I have put up a new video on my youtube channel so go check that out! 

Oh before I forget a little book update: I am currently reading the last book in the Vampire Academy series The Last Sacrifice & An Abundance of Katherines. I said I was reading these before and I took a pause from those 2 because I had to re-read City of Lost Souls and then read the highly anticipated 6th & final book in The Mortal Instruments series City of Heavenly Fire. Thinking of doing a video on What have I read 6 month update... hmmm maybe!

xoxo,

Sherley

Kylie Jenner Makeup Tutorial

So as I scrolled through my favorite app Instagram a few weeks ago I saw this picture of Kylie Jenner. You may love them or you may hate them. But however you may feel about them this makeup is absolutely to die for! I of course being the crazy person  I am took a screen shot of it (i sound like a stalker... lol i promise I'm not!) and I knew I wanted to re-create it. So here is the picture I basically stalked & gawked over for a few weeks now.

I think this look is just so pretty and I specially love all of the awesome earthy tones used in it. Lets have a moment of silence for that AMAZING lip color. Yes I'm obsessed! its so rich yet neutral & best part is that its matte. If you know me then you know i love my matte colors. So anyways I totally jumped on it & re-created it!

DISCLAIMER: This isn't going to be an exact replica of her look this is my interpretation of the look. Plus I am much much paler then she is :)

Here is my version...

I am totally loving this look and I think its so refreshing considering that its Spring time almost summer and all people want are bright colors. Im not a bright color person. I love my neutrals! so I filmed a tutorial which I will link as well! Also a list of all products used will be here too! :)
