Hey babes!

As I am tossing and turning in bed, I decided to come on here to tell you that I am selling more of my belongings on eBay!

Check them out HERE! or find me @ laneydior


I am letting go of my favorite Tiffany & Co. Heart Charm Toggle Necklace and a pair of True Religion Jeans in size 31 that are brand spankin' new - STILL WITH TAGS ON THEM! The necklace is still up for bid, but for you ladies if you want it you can bid on it, or email me @ laneycouture@yahoo.com. You have another 18 hours or so to bid on it... if you want it though, let me know as soon as possible!!!! I will do what I can for you!!!

The jeans are currently at a BUY IT NOW or BEST OFFER. I purchased these jeans @ Saks Fifth Avenue and I purchased the wrong size on accident. I didnt get around to wearing the jeans until after the return/exchange time frame and Saks did not allow me to exchange them. THEY MUST GO! I am tired of staring at them already, lol. As I mentioned before, if you want them, email me!

Thank you so much for following me!

I will be back later today with some updates and randomness!!!

XO!

Hey babes!

I was reading Lindsey's Blog: The Bargain Blonde and she posted a few days ago 15 Facts About Yourself... now please check out her blog because her facts are absolutely hilarious. SHE'S absolutely hilarious, so check her out and tell her I sent you! 


I told her I was voluntarily tagging myself on it and I was going to tell you all 15 Facts About ME! So here I am... ♥


I do wish that I could tell you not to tell anyone... hahaha buttttt thats outta the question considering my situation... hahaha not everyone knows these facts about me so feel privileged! ♥


1. When I was like 16/17 years old I was hanging out with some friends and we decided to go to Burger King. As soon as I got into Burger King I had to pee, like, super bad! ON TOP of that... there was like a sea of super hott guys sitting near the restrooms talking/eating. I told my girlfriends "watch this!" I ran past them (trying to look as cute as possible) and pushed the bathroom door in making every attempt to look sexy in front of them. As soon I walked in... I realized I was in the MENS BATHROOM! Again, I had to pee super bad and I was not about to walk out of there without peeing!! So I did my business, washed my hands, and RAN OUT! As I was running past the sea of super cute guys, I hear them laughing - obviously at the fact that I accidentally went into the wrong restroom! So I started talking to my girlfriends and as I looked down at my feet I saw.... dun dun dunnnn TOILET PAPER!!!!!! I HAD TOILET PAPER STUCK TO THE BOTTOM OF MY SHOE!!!! So those super cute guys were ALSO laughing at me because of the toilet paper stuck to my shoe! HOW EMBARRASSING! After I realized that, I put my head down and told my friends we had to go! Needless to say none of those guys bothered to ask for my name or my number! Hahaha 


2. I am unbelievable with numbers. As a child I could do math problems in seconds. It was gift my parents had no idea what to do with. Even til this day I can remember mathematical problems and numbers. If you give me a list of numbers I will memorize them on the spot and repeat them back to you. My parents find it extremely amusing and any chance they get they make me utilize my "ability."

3. The numbers 7 17 follow me everywhere! I could tell you a hundred million stories about those numbers... I'd probably freak you out. Just to name a few... my mothers birthdate and death date, my birthdate, my fathers birthdate, my cheerleading number, codes I have been given, friends license plate numbers, all of my cell phone numbers... etc. Anyone that I have come across has somehow had something to do with those numbers. Here's a story that will get your hairs raised!

I was hanging out with a girl friend in my condo... I was telling her about my birth mom and how I have a dress she wore a few times... just something that belonged to her that I cherish. It was sitting in my closet and I decided to show it to her. As I was pulling it out of the closet I looked at the tag in back that shows the size or name of designer. It caught my eye because it was a tag that was put on there from the dry cleaners (mind you this dress hadnt been worn in over 20 years so the last time that was dry cleaned was probably in the early 90s and we were in 2009).. the tag read 827... here's the crazy part. 827 is my birthdate, August 27th - Add the numbers together equal 17. Yeahhhhh, nuts right??!?! So it's my mothers dress from the early 90s, that had a tag on it that read 827, which is my birthdate, which equals 17. Yup, story of my life! It follows me everywhere! Maybe it's my Mom?? I love thinking that! ♥

4. I love cheese! I know, I know, alot of people hate cheese, so I'm sure most of you will think I'm crazy! But I do! I purchase the big Polly-O Cheese from the grocery store and cut it up into cubes and eat it throughout the week. Sounds so gross, hahaha BUT I LOVE IT!!! AHHHH!

5. As girlie as I am, I have kayaked, mountain biked, camped, owned a boating license which includes jet-skiing, rock climbed, and cliff jumped. I haven't done any of these in about 3 years, but it was a huge part of my life for a long time and I loved every minute of it!

6. I was captain of my high schools Boys Varsity Soccer team. Hahaha I know, can you believe that? I look back on it and I can hardly believe it either! I had the best team ever and I miss all my guy friends so much! I still keep in touch with a few of them, and for that I am grateful! I played 3 years with them and they were a big part of my life!


7. I have played sports all of my life which include: cheering (competition cheerleading and football/basketball), gymnastics, soccer, and martial arts (taekwondo). And throughout that time I have broken my right foot, my right elbow, my right hand middle finger, and I (still til this day) have a torn meniscus in my right knee. Why did everything happen on my right side? NO IDEA! I actually do everything lefty except write, so to think I broke almost every bone going down the right side of my body is just weird! Hahaha Maybe I'm just weird?

8. I love leopard/cheetah print! My collection includes purses, credit cards, jewelry, shoes, clothes, keys, tape (yes I own leopard tape!), and a bunch of things more! I can't help it!

9. I love the History Channel! One thing the hubs and I do is Tivo History Channel shows and watch them any chance we get. I've always loved History, and as I get older, I have really gained a passion for it. It's very very interesting!

10. I LOVE TO WATCH TV MUTED. hahaha I feel like such a sillyface telling you that! My friends and family think I'm an absolutely weirdo for it, but again, I can't help it! It's soothing and relaxing. It makes you pay attention to whats going on more and allows you to figure out what's going on. I do it about 2 hours a day.

11. I have Temporo-Mandibular Joint Disorder. Say that 10 times fast. haha It's formally known as TMJ. Have you heard of it? Google it, it sucks! I've actually had it since I was about 7 years old. My jaw is dislocated severely. I have seen several doctors regarding the problem and my latest news is that I need to have an updated MRI done of my jaw to find out how much tissue I actually have left. From what my doctor believes, I have none.. therefore putting me at risk for my jaw actually being closed shut while I sleep and enabling me to wake up and not be able to open my mouth. It happens every morning, but I always can pop it open. Only once has it happened that I could not open it. I cried and sobbed and panicked - during that process I must have loosened something and it popped open. I currently do not health insurance, but I will shortly, when I do, I will be getting that MRI done. Next step should be surgery. I'll keep you posted on my progress with it all!

13. I dont know why this is number 13, it should be number 1... haha buttt I have OCD and I am a CLEANNNN FAARREEEEAAKK!! Uh yeah, I absolutely HATE when I go on my rampages and clean everything. It's really exhausting, but I can't help it. Everything in my home, in my purse, in my car... in my everything.. lol is neatly placed and clean. I've always been this way and I get it from my Dad. He's really Obsessive Compulsive about everything. I do things a certain way and need them to be done that way at all times. I am very fortunate that I have found a man to understand my problem and help me with it. My hubby is the most understanding when it comes to my OCD. It's a great quality to have, but sometimes it even drives ME nuts!

14. When I was younger my parents never allowed me to wear makeup or paint my nails or anything. I alwayyysssss dreamed of one day being able to wear makeup and doll myself up! One day I was putting lotion on my face (mind you I was probably like 12) and I realized my cheeks were rosey. I LOVED HOW IT LOOKED! So what I would do is put lotion on my face and smack my cheeks lightly and it would make my cheeks look super pink! I would hope people would notice it and think I looked cute because I was "wearing blush." Even though I had absolutely nothing on my face, but lotion and red cheeks from smacking myself - I wanted other people to think I was wearing makeup! hahaha I wanted to be cool and that was my way of showing it!

15. I love Indian inspired things! As a child I always wanted to be Indian! I admired their culture and heritage and clothing! Even today in our living room I own handmade Indian curtains imported from India. They are absolutely gorgeous! They cost me a lump sum of money, but I had to have them! I still embrace their culture and appreciate their heritage.

Hope you enjoyed my crazy FACTS! I'm sure there are a zillion more things about me you may never know, so if you want to know anything, just ask! I'll definitely answer your question no matter what it is! I am open and honest! No question will be too weird or too personal, I'm sure I've heard it all!

XO!

Hey beauty babes!

Ya'll know what a brush roll is it, right? Okay, so... I made one! Now lets start with this... I do not, and I repeat do not sew. AT ALL! So, the fact that I was able to concoct this brush roll into looking the way it looks and functioning the way it does, someone ought to give me a cookie... more like a cookie times infinity! I almost broke my new sewing machine several times due to my incompetence and lack of hand eye coordination. I am lucky to still be alive and that sewing machine is definitely lucky it didnt get thrown through my window! haha

On a happier note, this gosh darn brush roll is so stinkin' cute, and it really makes me love it even more because I made it!! Here is what it looks like! Don't make fun! hahaha It's the very first one I've ever owned, nonetheless the very first thing I've ever sewn! I refused to go with the "this is my practice one" attitude because I literally was having so much trouble making it that I was bound to make this one as perfect as can be so I didn't ever have to make another one! hahaha


Just wanted to say... you can still see the chalk lines (on the black fabric) all over the place because I needed some cheats to help me along the way. I didn't clean it up too well because I was excited to take pics and show you!

Hi Dolls!

I just wanted to let you know (if you hadn't already noticed) I put up some pages at the top of my blog. I added some new photos, a blog roll, an inside look to who I am (under My Story), contact information, and soon to come my Wishlist. I have so much on my wishlist - I just havent really had the chance to write them all down.. it's coming soon!

This is a much needed announced E.L.F Haul. I purchased quite a few things from E.L.F about a month or so ago and then I decided I wanted to try out MORE things, so I just waited on blogging about them until I had everything together and I tested most of the things.

I had no idea that E.L.F had such awesome products until after reading quite a few blogs and checkin' out some Vlogs, had I decided to try it out for myself and see if its true! And it is! E.L.F rocks! They have some super inexpensive products that work fantabulously and I'm kinda sad I didnt hear about them sooner!

I'm not kidding when I say I practically bought the company out. I purchased so many things!

Warm Bronzer High Definition Powder Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

I absolutely love the warm bronzer. It's got a super light sparkle to it, but nothing crazy. It's perfect for my skin tone even when I use self tanner. I havent used the HD Powder yet, but I have heard it compares to the MUFE HD Powder, and if that's the case then it's going to be perfect! The Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder is kinda dark for me right now. The blush in the pic (sorry about that) looks very pale, but it's very similar to Nars Orgasm. I'm not too crazy about the blush right now but I know in the Spring and Summer I'll definitely be putting it to use!

Eyeliner & Shadow Stick in Black and Smoke Defining Eye Brush Professional Eye Shadow Brush Professional Lip Defining Brush (2) Eye Shadow "C" Brushes Powder Brush

I haven't used the Eyeliner & Shadow Stick, but when I do I'll let you know how it turned out for me! The rest of the brushes are FAB! The 5 brushes in the center all work great! I was really hesitant. I typically use MAC brushes and I wasn't sure how these would compare, but they are really great. I use the Lip Defining Brush for my lip balms (so I dont have to use my fingers) and the bristles dont clump or fall out and it applies just the amount I want/need. I use the "C" brushes for cream eye shadows and I have had no problem with them! The last brush is one of my ultimate favorites! I heard so much good stuff about it, that I had to have it! It's a powder brush that can be used with liquid foundation too! I use it to apply my Bobby Brown Moisture Rich Foundation and it's applies it so flawlessly, I'm in love! I have the Sigma Flat Top Kabuki that I also use and they are veryyy similar. I will do a review on that in another post, but this brush is simply perfect! These are all simple and easy to clean and are really excellent quality.

Blue Mist Fuchsia Purple Pleasure Mango Madness Lilac

Blue Mist Fuchsia Purple Pleasure Mango Madness Lilac

I just swatched these colors for you quickly. I really havent worn any of these colors for more then 2 minutes. I can tell you that they are very pigmented. I absolutely loved the way they looked on me even with how I applied them. My favories are the last two: Mango Madness and Lilac. I will be painting my nails this week a new color and one of them will hit the top spot. I'll keep you updated!

Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 in Mellow Melon

Love this lip balm! Smells yummy and tastes yummy! If you have read my posts you know that I love to lick my gloss off. Haha So I always taste and comment on everything I put on my lips! It goes on smooth and like I said, tastes fab! It's a peachy color and just cute to throw on when you're on the go!

Hypershine Gloss in Vixen Therapeutic Conditioning Balm in Strawberry Cream Super Glossy Lip Shine in Clear

Therapeutic Conditioning Balm in Strawberry Cream Hypershine Gloss in Vixen Super Glossy Lip Shine in Clear

I do not like the conditioning balm in Strawberry Cream. Yuck! It tastes miserable! It just reminds me of the times I accidentally get my hair conditioner in my mouth when I'm showering. (I know it sounds weird, but it happens. lol) It just has these super gross taste and it looks bad on my lips too! Bad buy! The gloss in Vixen, tastes fab and goes on cute too! Very pigmented gloss and does come up like an orange/red color. I love it! And the gloss in Clear was just for a quick pick me up if I'm on the go or if I am wearing a matte lipstick that needs some lovin'. It's super glossy and alittle sticky, but I dont mind that. I actually love glosses that way because I dont lick them off as quick! hahaha

Tinted Moisturizer in Honey Tinted Moisturizer in Apricot Beige Tone Correcting Concealer in Apricot Beige

I initially purchased the TM in Apricot Beige and it was just the perfect color of my face. I dont really mind if I am just trying to hide my rosacea, but I do want some color if I am leaving the house with just tinted moisturizer on so I purchased it in Honey. It gives me alittle more color without overdoing me. Its nothing special but it does the trick and I cant complain. I use a Sephora brand TM and their's is more pigmented and lasts longer, but c'mon this was a buck! I'm really not complaining. As you can see I havent opened the concealer. I use a MAC concealer presently and just havent had the opportunity to play around with this yet. I will eventually and keep you updated!
