Tag | What's on my Bed Side Table | #BEDM Day 22

A while back the lovely Varinder tagged me in her Tag, What's on my Bed Side Table. It's basically a tag sharing what you have on your night stand or bed side table. She started this tag and I was lucky enough to get tagged. Now I am FINALLY sharing what I have on my nightstand. (Sorry Varinder, it took me way too long to post this!) If you haven't already, visit the lovely Varinder's blog, by clicking here! You will not regret it! Thanks again darling for tagging me!

My night stand isn't normal at all. haha =P It actually opens up, so I can store things inside also. You can barely see the hinges in the pic. Anyway, on to what I have on top of my night stand. I try to keep only the items I use on a daily basis on top and the items I don't usually grab all the time, but like to have just in case.

Home Sweet Home | #BEDM Day 14

I have lived many places (mainly due to the military), but I've grown to realize what home really is. I feel like home isn't based one where you live but more about where you have built something for yourself. Whether it is buying a house, starting a career, or starting your own family, where you built it, is where your home is. I can honestly say, home is where my husband is. If he wanted to move to another state for a job, I would go with him in a heart beat. Of course there would be the normal talk throughs, but if it felt right, I wouldn't hesitate. 

I call MS my home now more than any other state I've lived in. We've made a home and a name for ourselves here and it feels wonderful. We have built something for ourselves here without the help of others and that is why it is now our home sweet home. 

We bought our first home here at the end of last year, an accomplishment we have been planning for for years. Now we are planning for a second home and growth in both our careers. 

I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us! :) 

What do you consider home sweet home & why? I would love to hear all of your thoughts. Leave a comment below so we can have discussions! :) 

 

Until Next Time,

Avie T.

 

[P.S] I apologize for the late posts lately. I've been struggling with time management. If you have any tips, please help a girl out! hehe =]

 

Random | Beauty Blogger Tag

I wasn't personally tagged but saw it on Hailey's Beauty Blog and I'm going to give this one a go and let you guys learn a little more about me.

Name a beauty routine you rarely do.

I rarely wear foundation. =]

Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly?

Ummm, not regularly. Mainly because I don't use too many brushes regularly, so I don't need to clean them as often.

How long will you last with chipped nail varnish?

Not long at all! I can't stand when my polish chips. I tend to go natural, especially when I know I won't keep up the maintenance.

How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it (i.e. topcoat, foundation, etc)?

Not long at all. I actually have an abundance amount of make up, more than I probably need. =]


What is your worst beauty habit?

I would have to say not shaving my legs regularly or not replacing old eyeliners. I just can't get rid of them!

Name something non beauty related that you put off all the time.

Studying! eeek. =\

When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready to the last minute or not?

Lets see, when it comes to getting ready for work, I wait til the super last minute. When it comes to going out with the hubs or "FUN" stuff, I take my time. hehe ;p

Can you commit to spending bans?

Yes I can, mainly when I know I have a solid goal at the end.

How organised are your makeup and nail polish collections?

Makeup: somewhat organized. Its organized enough for me, with everyday products easily accessible and not often used products stored away.

 

Nail Polish: VERY organized.


What is the longest time you have gone without writing a blog post?

 

I just started, so my breaks haven't been that long, but I would say maybe 1 1/2 weeks... give or take a few days.

This tag was originally created by The Beauty Bow.

Anyone who wants to give this tag a go, be my guest! Share your tags with me in the comments! I would love to learn more about you all also!
