Things I'm Loving

Eyelash Extensions
That's right.  Erlash eckstenshins.  I found a lady on Facebook that was looking for models as she completes her eyelash extension certification.  The process takes roughly two hours; two hours of laying still on your back, so basically a nap..... which rules.

Clients can choose several different types of extensions, whether you're looking for a natural look or a glamorous look.  I opted for the half way point-- just enough length to make me look awake yet non-YouTube Makeup Personality.  When I walked out of Deka Lash, I had a legit set of amaze lashes.  This will never happen again without tons of mascara and possibly falsies.

The eyelashes should last about 3 weeks and will fall out as your own lashes do.  I'm to avoid any oil-based soaps, lotions or products near my eyes (the oil will break down the glue bonds).  Sophia (the tech) gave me a spoolie to comb through the lashes every couple of hours to keep them from tangling up.

Normally, a new set of eyelash extensions cost about $150.  Since I was a model, my set were free.  Score.  Fill-ins or touch-ups cost about $75.  So, its a pricey addition to beauty, not one I'm willing to pay for :)

Spring Weather
I have managed to get outside every day for the past four days-- with temps in the mid to upper 40s and sunny skies, I need to soak in as much Vitamin D as possible.  I keep checking to the weather to make sure we aren't being thrown a curve ball, aka a winter storm warning.  Fingers crossed that it stays nice.

Bob Running Stroller
With the nice weather and kids often in tow, my double Bob stroller rocks for transporting the kids.  With a 100 lb weight limit, I'm still able to safely use it with both kids.  I run with it and use it for walks.  I can store miscellaneous items underneath in the mesh and have my phone/water bottle close by in the Velcro compartment at the handle bar.  I recommend this stroller for all moms and dads with kids.  Yes, its bulky and heavy.  Yes it is indestructible.  Yes it has withstood the test of time in weather, long days at the zoo, trail running, mall gallivanting and countless parades,  Forget the fancy bullshit..... parents need strollers that are reliable and basically bomb proof; the Bob is all the things.
