Blog World Giveaways

OK, so I like to enter giveaways when I have the time. So, here's where I'll be listing the giveaways I've found during the week, and if I'm lucky enough to win something. For grins, I'll include a MckLinky so you can enter any other giveaways (yours or someone else's) that I've missed. Have fun, and good luck winning lots of cool stuff!

I WON! I'm so excited. OK, so a couple months ago I won some toothpaste and mouthwash, but this is way cooler. I won some great makeup from Estee Lauder. Here's what I won:


What you see here is a Pure Color Multi-Shimmer Gloss in Rose Gold, Double Wear Stay-In-Place Lipstick in Stay Mauve, TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara in Black and Double Wear Stay-In-Place ShadowCreme in Ivory Lace. The gloss looks really pretty in the bottle it's layered and shimmery, and smells really good. The TurboLash mascara, is one of the new vibrating ones, I was excited when I realized that, and even though I was on the couch in my sweats, had to put on mascara. It felt a little weird at first, but went on great, I really like it. So thank you Estee Lauder for my fun new make-up!

Now here's the giveaways I've found today (I'll keep updating throughout the day if I find more).

Around the World

My wonderful son, the adorable teenager that he is, has interesting taste in music. He's very open minded, enjoying everything from Bach to Linkin Park. Today he's decided to listen to the same song, over and over again. Have you heard the Around the World song? It's very repetative, and it goes like this: Around the world, around the world, around the world, around the world, around the world.... etc. You get the point. But in case you don't, just play this.

Well, the first time through it's funny. The second time through I wondered how many times they actually say "around the world". By the fifth time through I wanted to pull out my hair and shove it in my ears so I didn't have to hear it anymore. Then my brain decided to turn on, and I grabbed a pair of headphones, stuck them in his computer and handed them to him. Ah, peace and quiet. I'm not one to begrudge my kid the ability to listen to whatever music he enjoys (though I do pay attention to language and the message the songs portray). But other than that, he can listed to whatever genre makes him happy. And does, sometimes he plays classical music on his piano, sometimes he listens to country with me, other times he's listening to heavy metal, and now and then he listens to songs from animated films. I'm very happy that he has such broad interests. I just don't want to hear "Around the World" again, and wish it would stop playing in my head. AAAAAAHHHHHH Get Out Of My Brain!!!!

Until next time,
