Hello lovelies! It’s been awhile. I’ve been busy with life and trying to figure out what ‘life’ even is at this point. But, I had a bit of a revelation today and wanted to share because I found it pretty interesting. So, I have always been a bit clumsy. While I don’t trip constantly or anything I have a tendency to bump into things and drop things. There are times when I do trip, especially if…

Hello lovelies! ****Disclaimer: I am a Christian and this post contains some spiritual revelations, so if that isn’t your cup of tea, feel free to skip over it. x **** Sunday I had a “God moment” for lack of a better term. It really was more like an all day thing though, it started with church and took a while for me to really fully realize what God was telling me, but it was amazing and I wanted…

"I have come to the realization that I have been living selfishly. Yes, selfishly..."

Hello lovelies, So, I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching lately. I mean, what else is one supposed to do when everything in your life completely falls apart, right? I’ve been analyzing my past, my decisions, fighting feeling like an idiot… The uncertainty of my whole world right now is enough to make me just want to curl up and stay in bed for the rest of my time on this earth. Obviously, that…

She’s a dreamer, a doer, a thinker. She sees possibility everywhere ❤

Hello lovelies!

I apologize for not having had regular blog posts the last two (three?) weeks. This blog is mostly a hobby blog, I would love to make money from it and have it be my main hustle, but right now my focus is on my other business(es!) so, it’s been on the back burner a tad lately. When I have an idea and feel like writing up a post I will post so no worries, there will still be…

Requiem for Arbitrary Numbers

Hello lovelies!

I have been contemplating weight-loss a lot since my last post.

I feel like ever since I started losing weight I have become a bit obsessed with what I eat, how much, researching what I should eat and what I shouldn’t eat when it’s really pretty simple: if you eat more veggies and less sugar and processed foods you’ll be healthier.

Healthier is the goal. It’s so easy for me to get…

Failure is my choice

Hello Lovelies!

Those of you who follow me on Instagram and Facebook probably know that I started a Ketogenic Diet experiment for the month of November and possibly through December as well, since I have heard you need to give it a full two months (minimum) to really see a change.

Well, I have only done it a week and I realized that I’m done haha I know, I know, I’m a failure. But allow me to…

I’m so excited! I received my Maëlle starter kit (and extras that I ordered as well)! Here is my Facebook Live video I took of un-boxing the products. Sorry it’s mirrored! https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Frebeccamarieskovbo%2Fvideos%2F1798391170442131%2F&show_text=0&width=400

  Here are some pictures as well:

        These next pictures there is no filter, no editing, no camera effects, just natural lighting through a window.

    This shows a full Maëlle face look. I attempted a light contouring. I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to contour so I was just playing around and it was fun! I don’t think it looks too bad considering I know nothing about how to do it. I used: • Red carpet strobing & contouring kit • Above and Beyond Mascara • Dawn to Dusk Eyeshadow palette • Eyebrow stylist kit

No other products were used! Just Maëlle, cruelty free, European cosmetics.

These products feel so great, they are light, I didn’t even remember I was wearing makeup most of the time, which surprised me because whenever I have worn mascara my eyelids feel heavier, this was so different, at least to me. I love it, definitely a worth while investment.

Sorry for the short post today. I was just so excited and wanted to share the makeup fun with you all!

Hello lovelies! 

Jonathan is home again! He got back on Wednesday, it was so cute when we went to pick him up at the airport Tavo was watching the people coming down the hall and before Jon had even seen us, Tavo pointed and exclaimed “ahhhh” which is kind of his way of saying hi, he does it to everyone he recognizes haha it was adorable, as soon as Jonathan was within reach he reached out to him…

5 Simple Ways to Grow Your Instagram Following

Hello lovelies! Today I’d like to talk about some good ways to grow your Instagram following. I wish I had used a tracking app earlier in my Instagram journey so I had more accurate data but unfortunately I didn’t. I had taken some screen shots, but I’ve lost those as they were on my old phone and I haven’t been able to retrieve any of the data from it yet.

But I think that I was at 200+ at the…

Hello lovelies!

Hello lovelies!

So, I’m writing this while my head is feeling like it’s about to explode and I really just want to lay down and watch tv. But I want to explain things first so here goes:

I received a letter yesterday from Middle Earth Enterprises. They politely informed me that I have inadvertently violated their trademark when I started using ‘Hobbit Hollow’, ‘Hobbit Mama Makeup’ and ‘Celtic…

Phone Update & Motivation

Hello lovelies!

First off, here is an update on the phone front: It turned on!

BUT, after it turned on, I plugged it into my tablet and tried to use a program to back up all the data. Halfway through the process, the program failed and my phone froze on the recovery screen.

I googled the issue and read every post I could find and the only solution is to hard reset it. So I attempted a hard reset…

Plot Twist! When Life Gets Real

    Hello lovelies!

For those that follow me on Facebook or Instagram you may have seen that my phone took a bath on Wednesday, thanks to my toddler. It has totally derailed a lot of my life, for a few reasons.

First, Jonathan is back on the slope for two weeks, so we can chat through messenger on my tablet but it’s harder to do voice calls via wifi because his connection isn’t so great up…

*Trigger warning* No one can fully know why things happen the way they do, they just do; and for some unknown, unbelievably unfair reason, the loss of my third child was meant to happen.

So, today is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day, I wasn’t going to write anything today, but then I realized that it’s important for people to understand why we need awareness for pregnancy and infant loss.

I’m not going to lie, I’ve already been crying while just thinking of writing this.

For those who don’t know, I had my first miscarriage April 2012. I would have a 4 year old by now. At…
