NO BUMMER SUMMER: Birdfeeder

Today we decided to make the bird feeders. Originally we were going to use pine cones but surprisingly couldn't find any! So we opted for toilet paper rolls instead.

Supplies:
Toilet paper roll
peanut butter
birdseed
fishing line

Just spread the peanut butter on the roll and roll it in bird seed! Then slip some fishing line through and knot it. We hung ours in the tree out front so hopefully we will see some cool birds. Let me know how yours works out and if you could find some pine cones! hahaha 

Check back with us tomorrow and see what our next adventure is!!

XOXO,

NO BUMMER SUMMER: Seashell Necklaces

Today was seashell necklace day! The girls really enjoyed this one because they have been collecting shells for awhile now. We used shells with holes in them mostly but Lorelei's big piece didn't have a hole so Daddy drilled one in for her.

Supplies:
 Lots of acrylic paints
Yarn
Twine
Fishing Line
Beads (all kinds)
Rhinestones (all sizes)

They painted and decorated the shells first. And then I helped them string them up! They had fun putting on the beads and they each put their nicknames on them. You can see "Naney" and "Lolo" if you look closely.

They were super tired by the end of this project! Maybe all the energy it takes to be a jewelry designer tuckered them out... They have a few more shells left to turn into masterpieces when they're ready!

Overall this was fun one! I'm sure we will be making jewelry for a few more days. 

Check back tomorrow to see whats next!

XOXO,

Lundi 

P.S Today is me and the hubby's boyfriend/girlfriend anniversary! Its been 15 years since we coupled up :)

NO BUMMER SUMMER: Burning Dandelions

Our next No Bummer Summer adventure was to burn a dandelion top. The girls thought this one was really cool and we searched all over for these little puffs!

Here is the pinterest link: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/23362491792182949/
                                                       

We found some and went right to trying to see this beautiful rainbow fire it is supposed to give. Those little suckers burn so quick you cant even tell what color it is! We were all disappointed... 

 

Sad little burnt Dandelions.... So we checked off burn a dandelion top and started our jar of dandelion tops!!! We got about 10 today and will continue to be on our quest to fill the jar. I may have picked too big of a jar!! haha Thats what Lorelei said anyway :)

Thanks for checking in on our daily adventures! Check back tomorrow to see what we do!

XOXO,

1. Make cork boats and race them.

2. Paint rocks for tic tac toe game

3. Make pine cone bird feeders

4. Burn Dandelions(supposed to be really colorful while on fire.)

5. Fill a whole jar with dandelion tops (to give away when someone needs a wish or smile)

6. Make a hula hoop fort.

7. Paint a word canvas

8.  Make tools and wands out of sticks.

9. Make seashell necklaces

Makeup and workout of the day

Makeup of the day: 

My eyes today are the Pop beauty trio pallette called Smokin Hot. The colors are nice and blendable. I used the lightest color on my lid on the inner corner. I applied the black to my outer corner and crease. Then I took the middle color to blend the two others together. I used the cream color in the top right of my Wet n Wild pallette for my brownbone. To blend my browbone and lid together I use a light brown shadow like the 3 color pallette you see in the top left. That pallette is from Wet n Wild and is called Enlisted for Beauty. I lined my eyes with my old faithful Jordana Fabuliner in black and then smudged the black eye shadow over it. 

I did my face the same as yesterday except for my blush. Today I used a pretty pink color by Be a Bombshell cosmetics called Sweet Cheeks. You can layer it make it really pop! 

I also got this cheek color from my Ipsy bag. Do you know what Ipsy is?? It is a monthly subscription service that sends you a different make up bag with 5-6 full size products in it EVERY MONTH. It only costs $10. I love getting my Ipsy bag because it is a good way to try out new makeup products. If you want an invitation to Ipsy let me know and I will be happy to send you one by email!

Lets talk Leg Day:

*Clean and press with a 30 lb straight bar

*Single leg squats no weight (i was scared) haha

* Step ups- 7 blocks high with 10 lb plate in each hand

* Walking lunges across the gym. About 88 lunges (man it burns)

* Leg Abductor 60 lb

* Leg Adductor 60 lb

* 10 minutes on the Elliptical on the Random Hill setting. I usually don't do any cardio on leg days because its usually pretty rough... But since i had ten minutes left, might as well. 

Night night, 

Lundi

Workout of the day- BENCH PLEASE hehe

Today is CHEST DAY! I'm sporting my Flex Till You're Famous Bench Please tank and my new Nike Pegasus. Can you see they're leopard print?? OMG 

Here's my workout of the day:

*Chest Press(flat bench) 20lb. Dumbbell 3 sets of 10

* Chest Press (incline bench) 20lb. Dumbbell 2 sets of 10 1 set of 8

* Incline press machine 30lbs 2 sets of 10

* Chest Press machine 30lbs 3 sets of 10

* Cable Flys Top/Middle/Bottom 3 sets of 10 

* Shoulder press 10lb dumbbells 2 sets of 10

*Forearm Curls 10lb dumbbell 4 sets of 10

I start every workout with a 5 minute warmup on the Elliptical at level 5. I took it real easy today because I was in a car accident not to long ago and my neck and shoulder are still hurting,so I modified my typical workout. After I finished weights I jumped on the Stairmaster for 7 minutes on Level 7 Fat burn. Next, I went on the Elliptical for 10 minutes on level 7 and I finished off my cardio with 10 minutes on the treadmill. I walked a fast pace for the first 4 minutes and ran the last six. I typically finish every workout with some type of ab workout. Today I did 10 regular situps on the incline bench, and 75 Russian twist crunches. Today was a fast and light workout for me but Im sure I will be sore in the morning! I always wear my Polar Ft7 to track my heart rate and calories burned. Today I wore it during my wokout and for the 2 hours after at home cooking and cleaning. Check out the results:

June and July Ipsy Bag/ Purple Smokey Eye

I got my July Ipsy bag today and got right to work creating a purple smokey eye with the www.bhcosmetics.com palette. It is a three color palette with a purple, shimmery light brown and a gold called California Collection.  The look turned out really pretty! I am going to try and film a YouTube tutorial soon and an Instagram step by step, so Stay Tuned!

If you are unsure about what an Ipsy bag is, it is a $10 monthly subscription of mostly makeup. It comes in a cute makeup bag every month and you get to try products before you buy the full size. Most of the makeup is full size but sometimes you will get samples of hair and skin products  I love getting it in he mail because I know I will love it. If you would like an invitation to Ipsy let me know and I will happily send you one! 

Here is my last months bag:

I am in love with the highlighter crayon! It blends so easy and is simple to use. The glitter cream is amazing and goes on very smooth. The blush gives you a very natural glow. If you know me well you know that I am addicted to dry shampoo so getting a travel size was awesome. I am not a huge fan of lip liner but I will admit the color is pretty but maybe a little bright for me (I know I love the glitter and I'm not so into the lip-liner).  Can you guess what my favorite part of the June bag was????? 

The Bag :)

I love animal print and I'm not afraid to say it!

If you have any questions or if you would like to see the eye tutorial too comment down below.

Thanks,
