Brian Earns Bonus Points

Posted on December 8, 2013 by under Relationship.    

Sierra did my makeup at Beau Monde the other day. I’m not sure if Brian got an “after” picture, but this is what I looked like before she did her magic.

I wish I had an “after” picture to show you guys because she did such an amazing job. It’s a lot like getting your hair done at the salon. The professionals always make you look so much better. I think so anyways so I asked Brian, “Would you like it if I learned how to do my makeup and looked like this all the time?” It’s a valid question because I rarely ever do my makeup. I’m just not any good at it.

Brian really surprised me with his response. He said he preferred me the way I am without all the makeup. He’s like, “Makeup done right always enhances the way that someone looks so of course most women look better with makeup and many women need makeup to look good. However, there are women who can get by without makeup because they’re naturally beautiful. You’re one of those people.”

That was really sweet. And, he definitely earned some bonus points that day. Although, no matter what he says, I still prefer the way I look with makeup. I’m going to take makeup application lessons one of these days. LOL.

Brian and I were fortunate enough to get tickets to the 51st Annual Candlelight Christmas Concert presented by Wichita State University’s School of Music.

The concert was awesome. I want to go again next year but I want to bring Brian’s parents next time. I think his mom would really enjoy it.

Money Can Buy Happiness

This is an interesting idea. Want to give it a try? Here’s a link to the Salvation Army’s Virtual Angel Tree. You can also participate in the program by visiting the public Angel Trees at the mall — Towne East and Towne West. Make someone’s day and make yourself happy in the process too.

I know because I got an iron for Cecilia and a can opener for LaShellia. And, every time I post something on Freecycle or give something away some other way, I feel good. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one this works on. I’d say it’s worth a shot. Do something special for someone and see how you feel afterward. I challenge you.

Being Bad with Brian

Posted on December 4, 2013 by under Food and Drink.

Brian and I had brunch at Livingston’s Diner last Saturday. There’s very few places in town that serve corned beef hash and that’s one thing that I really like about Livingston’s. They’re also known for their delicious cinnamon rolls. They don’t skimp on the icing either.

The one thing that isn’t pictured is my hot chocolate with whipped cream. The hot chocolate itself was just okay but the whipped cream was amazing. They make it themselves so it’s “real” whipped cream. It’s the most delicious whipped cream I’ve had in a while. It was so good that I was tempted to ask for a cupful of it. Seriously.

Livingston’s Diner has been and will always be one of my favorite places to eat breakfast; hands down. If I’m going to be bad and eat unhealthy food, I’m going to Livingston’s.
