Eyeshadow & Pasta

I love makeup...and I don't mean its a handy tool...I mean I really, really love makeup. If I could play with glitter eyeshadow and lipstick everyday, I would! So, I tried a new eye makeup look today. I used blue smoky shadow with a shimmer on top. The good news is that it looked great. But, the real adventure started when I tried to take my before and after pics. Holy cow...they sucked! Observe my before...

                                                               What am I looking at???

Yeah...I know...this is bad. But, my camera, otherwise known as my phone, doesn't take the best pics. So, along with a new vacuum...I would like a camera for Christmas! Anyway, the makeup was fantastic. I hope to wear it to a Christmas party this Saturday. Well, I might as well show you the after pic...prepare yourself.

Its over there now...

Its hard to see the blue shimmer prettiness...but I assure you, its there. Hopefully, any pictures from the Christmas party turn out better than these. Oh, and a big plus to playing with makeup today...I only did one eye, which is freaking the boys out. Of course, washing it off is now not an option *teehee*

Today, I also made my Mom's pasta. Its so simple, but the boys love it and I wanted a taste of home. I boil regular spaghetti. While doing that, I saute onions and red peppers in a few tablespoons of salted butter and olive oil. Once the onions are transparent I add a teaspoon or so of pesto. Then, when the pasta is done, I add a few cups right into the onions and continue to saute the whole thing for about 5-8 mins. Add salt and pepper to taste (I like it rather salty) and VOILA!! Its sometimes the simple dishes that I like the best.

                                                                  Yummmmmmmy!!

Tomorrow's adventure...apple soap. See you then!
